Legend

this fat governor of the planet Drexel One commanded a huge ship that operated in the oceans of the planet, making war against the sea-dragons and their Dragon Lord masters. Quarg was eventually unseated by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. His father was the former Governor of the Korteen Asteroid Belt, who hated the Old Republic for snooping into his business. Quarg's father fled to the Drexel System when the Old Republic interrupted his "mining activities", which were actually piratical ambushes of cargo ships. His father had been using sonic jammers to wreck ships near the belt and salvage their cargo. Quarg continued in his father's footsteps, using the jammers to cause pain to the sea-dragons, which felt intense pain in the ultrasonic ranges they were used to communicating with. Quarg's machinesmiths managed to drag Luke Skywalker's ship out of orbit, during his mission to scout the system, and Quarg forced Luke to help him repair many of his hydra-craft in preparation for destroying the Dragon Lords. When Crimson Jack arrived in the system hoping to locate lost treasure, Quarg ordered his forces to drag the massive pirate ship out of orbit. Crimson Jack's arrival coincided with a massive attack by the Dragon Lords, and Quarg tried to fight both battles at once. Unfortunately, the power needed to drag the pirate ship from orbit drew power from his own propulsion systems, leaving him adrift in the ocean. When Luke attempted to rescue Leia Organa, he managed to knock Quarg off the central mast of his ship. Quarg fell to his death, drowning in the churning seas.
