Benyalle, Tirgee
this aging woman was the crimelord who took control of the planet Kaal after the Empire abandoned it. She exploited the planet's aquacultural resources, and got rich exporting massive quantities of foodstuffs to the galaxy. Unknown to Benyalle, her organization had been infiltrated by agents of Imperial Admiral Kermen, and even her bodyguard had been bribed to allow the Imperials a chance to take over. The bodyguard, a Twi'lek named Sendir, stabbed Benyalle in the back when Kermen tried to take command of Kaal, but Sendir was captured by agents of the New Republic. They assisted Benyalle, taking her to a medical station and saving her life. She later made a deal with the New Republic, giving them exclusive rights to the foodstuffs harvested on Kaal.
