Legend

this former Hutt crimelord was exiled from his homeworld some eighty years before the Battle of Naboo. He found his way to the Cularin System, where he found that illicit trade was flourishing but unregulated. Establishing himself at a base on Tolea Biqua, near the planet Genarius, Riboga formed the so-called Smuggler Confederation and set about organizing the crime in the system. However, the cost of maintaining the organization began to weigh on Riboga, and an increase in piracy began to eat into his profits. Riboga was more than willing to turn over control of the system to Nirama, his chief lieutenant, when he lost it to the unusual alien during a sabacc match. Riboga returned to Nal Hutta without any regrets, unaware that Nirama had manipulated events and accounts in order to force Riboga to leave. Years later, it was believed that Riboga began to manipulate events in the Cularin System to unseat Nirama and re-establish himself as the dominant crimelord in the system. Working with unseen spies and thieves, Riboga apparently was developing a series of discrediting documents and events to erode Nirama's standing.
