Cron Thale, was wanted on Corellia, for a mass killing of twenty-seven (unidentified) citizens, and three security personel. It was because of this incident, that he traveled to Tatooine, to hide from the law. After less than a week, a bounty hunter captured him, and took him to a security station on Corellia, that had put a price on his head. It was then that he was sentenced to death. He was then taken back to Tatooine, to be tossed into a Shrak pit in the desert region of Dran.

Beginning
It began when Cron was taken to the desert by skiff, to be thrown into the Shrak pit, the unknown bounty hunter who captured him before attended, along with seven other security personel. When the skiff got there, Cron looked down into the pit's ravenous mouth, in both fear, and disgust. As the skiff guard urged him to fall with his vibro-ax, Cron turned around instantly, and pushed the guard into the pit, to be swallowed; next, Cron went for the bounty hunter, who darted to the side speedily, it was then that three of the other guards went for him with fists and guns, only to be fought off, one tumbling down the pit to his doom, another killed with a stolen rifle, and the other thrown overboard straight down into the Shrak pit's mouth head-first. This made the other guards come at him fast, one who tried to grab him by the throat, but was punched in the face hard, and went over the skiff's guard-railing, and down into the pit. the other two skiff guards tried to drive the skiff away from the pit, but Cron shot the control panel, keeping the skiff from moving, so, the guards tried to bound him, but were pushed out of the way, one falling into the pit, and being pulled in by one of the Shrak pit's tentacles, the other tried to fix the panel, but was shot by Cron.

Death
After this scene, the bounty hunter lunged at him with a knife, and stabbed him in the arm, then kicking him down on the skiff's guard rail. But, Cron was tough, and fought him with every ounce of strength he had, but it didn't work, the bounty hunter picked him up by the face, and banged his head against the railing over and over, and then finally, threw him into the pit to his death. But Cron tried to climb back up to safety, but one of the Shrak pit's tentacles got a hold of him, and injected acid into his system, stunning him, then, it pulled Cron into its mouth, and swallowed him with its muscular beak. After this battle, the bounty hunter repaired the panel on the skiff, and flew back to a station near there, and got a ride back to Corellia, where the Corellian security personel, awarded him 10,000 credits, for ridding the Galaxy of such a dangerous criminal.
