Legend

one of the most able subnodes generated by the assembler Kud'ar Mub'at, Balancesheet was in charge of monitoring and tracking the assembler's vast accumulation of credits. As it matured, Balancesheet became more and more aware of its creator's schemes, and also grew to understand its own existence. It kept much of its intelligence hidden, but showed enough to gain Mub'at's trust. During negotiations with two parties, Mub'at would sometime allow Balancesheet to pretend to be Mub'at himself. Balancesheet would crawl into one of the carapaces Mub'at had shed, and act as if it were Mub'at itself. This worked particularly well, since Balancesheet could mimic Kud'ar Mubat's voice and speech patterns with ease. While remaining outwardly loyal to Mub'at, Balancesheet secretly developed an intelligence on par with its creator. After the destruction of the Bounty Hunters Guild, Balancesheet discovered how to disconnect itself from Mub'at's web without dying, and without alerting its creator. This allowed Balancesheet to begin its own rise to power, which started with an alliance with Prince Xizor. The Falleen saw great opportunity if he could eliminate Mub'at and have a level of control over Balancesheet, although the subnode believed it controlled its own destiny. In a daring move, Balancesheet allowed Xizor's forces to infiltrate Kud'ar Mub'at's web. After announcing its independence, Balancesheet ordered the destruction of the old web while it set about killing its creator. Xizor himself them provided a bulk transport ship for Balancesheet to use as a base of operations, and would have destroyed Fett if Balancesheet hadn not explained the hunter's continued usefulness. Balancesheet then stiffed Boba Fett of fifty percent of the bounty for Voss'on't, as "paymeny" for his life. Years later, Balancesheet learned of the connections between its creator, Prince Xizor, and Kuat of Kuat, and actually offered to help Boba Fett and Neelah put the pieces together.
