Cid

This Trandoshan information broker operates from a dimly lit cantina on the planet Ord Mantell, where she built a reputation as someone who can procure almost anything for the right price. Standing barely chest-high to most patrons, she compensates for her diminutive stature with a razor-sharp tongue and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the galaxy’s underworld. Her establishment, known as Cid’s Parlor, serves as both watering hole and neutral ground for bounty hunters, smugglers, and anyone else seeking work outside the Empire’s reach.

Portrayed by Rhea Perlman, the character brings a distinctive gravelly voice and world-weary attitude to the animated series. Her tough exterior masks a shrewd businesswoman who survived the transition from Republic to Empire by keeping her ear to the ground and her loyalties flexible. She demonstrates particular expertise in connecting clients with mercenaries willing to take on dangerous assignments, though she’s not above skimming a generous finder’s fee from both sides of any transaction.

The cantina owner’s relationship with Clone Force 99 develops from purely transactional beginnings into something resembling mutual respect, though trust remains a luxury neither party can fully afford. She provides the squad with steady work during their adjustment to life as fugitives, while they offer her reliable muscle for jobs requiring discretion and skill. Her establishment becomes an unofficial headquarters for the group, offering them a rare safe haven in an increasingly hostile galaxy where former Republic soldiers find themselves hunted by their successors.
