Cal Majjer was the owner of the Dry Goods Emporium in Hedrett. He was generally a grumpy old man, and was used to getting his own way. He employed young Caarites as stockboys, providing them with the work experience they would need to work for the Metatheran Cartel. He also employed Nyrkar the Wookiee as his food preservation specialist and dietary consultant. Although Nyrkar was an employee, Majjer called him "my Wookiee".
