Legend

this Hutt crimelord was known among his peers for the cadre' of security droids he recovered from Varl and restored to working order. The H-3PO droids proved to be unfailingly loyal, unlike organic bodyguards. He was also known as an atypical Hutt, being energetic and eager to learn more about the businesses he runs. Mika, the youngest child of Popara the Hutt, was distinguished by his green and yellow coloration, as well as his interests in areas such as foreign culture, history, and technology. He also could speak the Basic language with ease, and was one of the few Hutts who did so in everyday life. Unknown to his siblings, Mika was quite sensitive to the Force, a fact that Popara also helped to keep a secret. Mika was stranded on Endregaad when a plague struck the planet, during the early years of the New Order. He left his bodyguard, Orgamon the Nikto, in Tel Bollin to act as his primary agent, in case Popara sent a rescue party. Mika himself traveled to the Temple Valley in an effort to locate the source of the Endregaad Plague and find a way to fight it. His discovery of a crashed YV-100 led to the source of the plague, and Mika showed his humanity by allowing the geode miners of the planet to salvage parts of the ship for themselves. Unknown to all, however, was the fact that Mika was behind the development of the tempest spice. The YV-100 had been traveling through the Indrexu Spiral with a shipment of tempest when it was infected with the plague, and crashed on Endregaad when the crew died from repeated exposure. His true mission to Endregaad was the recovery of the tempest shipment. He had made several arrangements with the local miners to ensure that the ship was easily accessed and kept ready until he could recover it. Upon returning to Nar Shaddaa, Mika was forced to realize that Popara was growing concerned about the rising threat of the tempest spice. Since tempest was creating huge sums of credits for his own accounts, Mika worked behind the scenes to undermine his parent's attempts to learn more about tempest. When Popara got too close, Mika poisoned him, ensuring that Popara would not meddle any further in his business. However, Mika was forced to flee Anjiliac Towers after the event, which Zonnos took as a sign of Mika's part in Popara's death. He was sighted at the Headache Bar, where he claimed that Zonnos had killed Popara. Shortly afterward, Mika was captured by Zonnos in an ambush, following the capture of Vago. With the help of Angela Krin and the agents hired by Popara, Mika managed to escape, and in the wake of Zonnos' death he became the leader of the Anjiliac kajidic. Rather than remain on Nar Shaddaa, however, Mika chose to return to Varl, where he had created the Tempest as a production facility. The agents tracked Mika to Varl, and confronted him aboard the huge vessel. Despite his best efforts to flee in the ship, Mika was hunted down and killed before he could unleash the tempest spice on the galaxy.
