By 0 BBY, shortly before the Battle of Yavin, Tonnika and her sister were living on Tatooine, but when Jabba put a bounty on Solo, they went to Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, a drinking establishment located in Mos Eisley. She and her sister witnessed hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi defending his apprentice named Luke Skywalker and fight off two wanted crooks, wounding Doctor Cornelius Evazan and dismembering Ponda Baba's right arm before they decided not to collect Jabba's bounty, but to steal the Millennium Falcon so they could leave the planet, overhearing the ship was in Docking Bay 94. When they got to the bay they quickly had to hide as Jabba was there as well. They snuck out of the docking bay, and decided to steal another ship.[1][4]
