Legend

this vicious Corellian crimelord ran much of the illegal operations in the farther reaches of Kathol Sector from a base on Pembric II. Despite his tendancy toward violence, Bombaasa was nevertheless quite cultured. Sometimes described as "beetle-like" in his appearance, Bombaasa was a short, pudgy man with thin limbs and bulging eyes, who surrounded himself with bodyguards while paying much of the Pembric Security Legion force from his own coffers. During their search for Jorj Car'das, Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade managed to foil an assassination attempt on Bombaasa's life. They refused direct repayment, instead deferring the reward to Talon Kaarde. Kaarde later used it to secure passage to Exocron during his own search for Car'das. After the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant signed their peace treaty, Bombaasa went to work for the Hutts' overseeing operation in the Tynnani and Bothawui systems. Despite his affiliations with the Hutts, Bombaasa shared information about the Yuuzhan Vong's plans for Tynna and Bothawui with Talon Karrde. He claimed to be simply "looking out for number one," but asked Karrde to make sure that the New Republic knew that he was supporting their efforts. When the Yuuzhan Vong finally surrendered to the Galactic Alliance at Coruscant some five years after their invasion began, Bombaasa was one of many members of the galaxy's underworld to retire from criminal life and pursue more legitimate goals. The galaxy needed to be rebuilt, and there were too many honest ways to make a living.
