Legend

this large man was the leader of the Bardrin Group, shortly after the Battle of Endor. He had his own daughter, Sansia, kidnapped in order to ensure his power. He then commandeered the crew of the Wild Karrde and ordered Mara Jade to "rescue" her from slavery at the hands of Chay Praysh. In reality, he merely wanted Sansia's ship, the Winning Gamble, recovered in order to maintain control of its highly-modified systems. Also, he had programmed the ship's sensors to monitor Praysh's alace defenses, and planned to use the information to storm the Drach'nam's palace on his own time. He then planned to sell the Winning Gamble to Praysh in return for some highly-secret weapons prototypes the Drach'nam's pirates had stolen from the Uoti Corporate. He also ensured that the Mrahash of Kvabja would deny ever sending a floater globe to Praysh, despite the fact that he sent one with Mara as a gift to Praysh. All these plans, he felt, would ensure that he could obtain the Uoti prototypes. However, as soon as Karrde discovered that his crew had been taken, he immediately rounded up his forces and stormed Bardrin's own palace. The Bardrin Group's guards were no match for Karrde's forces, and quickly surrendered the palace. After Mara and Sansia were freed, Karrde took the sensor data that Bardrin had taken on Praysh's palace and sent it to Luke Skywalker, in the hope that the New Republic would use it to storm the fortress and rescue the enslaved women. Sansia remained with her father, ensuring Karrde that she would punish him in her own way.
