Qual'om Soach
this Twi'lek was a native of Ralme IV, where he parents worked as miners for the Lant Mining Corporation after escaping from slavery. Soach himself worked as a miner before getting involved in several less-than-legal activities. Soach found that he had a knack for crime, and he eventually took control of most of Ralme's black market operations. He desired more power than what he had on Ralme IV, hoping one day to take control of all of Brak Sector. He made a deal with Jabba the Hutt, gaining the Hutt's support in return for a percentage of Soach's profits. With the partnership, Soach was able to take control of almost a third of the criminal activity in Brak Sector, and began bumping heads with Ral Nalmar. Soach quickly lost patience with the normal squabbles between the two organizations, and launched an all-out attack on the Nalmar estate in the city of Mennia, on Genesia. Soach believed that his troubles were over when Ral Nalmar was killed, but he was dismayed to learn that Eelien Kirat had assumed control of the Nalmar organization.
