By 9 ABY, Dune - an intimidating brawler and crack shot - Dune had put her days of military discipline behind her to operate as a mercenary.
After spending time on the planet Sorgan, she met the bounty hunter Din Djarin and his companion and worked with him for a short time before Djarin departed Sorgan.
