Biography[]
Nabrun Leids was an adult male member of the Morseerian race. Because his species existed on a methane-rich world, Nabrun required a special rebreather when journeying off-world. He plied his trade as a pilot for hire and as a smuggler.
Nabrun Leids was present at Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine on the day that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi came in seeking a pilot to ferry them to the Alderaan system. Nabrun sat at the bar next to Rycar Ryjerd. He turned his head when the bartender Wuher pointed out two droids named C-3PO and R2-D2, gruffly indicated that their kind would not be served in this establishment.
