Legend

this boy and his family were confronted by Viqi Shesh, during the evacuation of Coruscant which took place when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet. Senator Shesh, on the run from the law, was trying to track down Han and Leia Organa Solo, and needed to be part of a refugee family in order to get close to them. Shesh took Dab as her "son," Tarc, in order to gain Leia's confidence; in return for Dab's "services," Shesh ensured that his family escaped from Coruscant. Shesh claimed that she and Tarc were refused passage aboard the fleeing transports, and pleaded to be allowed to flee Coruscant aboard the Millennium Falcon. When the ruse was revealed and Senator Shesh was forced to flee, Dab was taken into custody by the Solos. He was pleased to learn that his real family made it off Coruscant aboard the Wicked Pleasure. Note that Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand indicates that Tarc did not know if his parents survived the Second Battle of Coruscant or not. Once on Borleias, realizing that he believed in what the Solos - and the rest of Wedge Antilles' Inner Circle - were trying to accomplish, he renounced his given name and simply went by the name Tarc.
