Legend

this Brubb was a major smuggling chief who was working for Billey during the early years of the New Republic. Brasck and his peers - Dravis, Par'tah, and Ellor - were dispatched to Trogan to meet with Talon Karrde some five years after the Battle of Endor. Karrde had proposed a smugglers' alliance to assist the New Republic in its struggle with Grand Admiral Thrawn, reasoning that Thrawn would be harder on smugglers than Emperor Palpatine, so it was in their best interests to help the Republic. Before joining Billey's group, Brasck was working for Jabba the Hutt as a mercenary during the height of the New Order. When Jabba was killed, Brasck went out into the Borderlans Regions with as many followers as would accompany him, to set up his own operations. He later teamed up with Billey, realizing that there was strength in numbers. Before Karrde's offer of a smuggler's alliance, Brasck had decided that his organization was well-equipped to obtain the bounty on Luke Skywalker, despite the fact that it was Luke and his rebel friends who had killed Jabba and given Brasck the chance to rise to power. Brasck was forced to turn down Karrde's offer of an alliance, primarily because he was worried about Imperial retribution. However, Brasck agreed that he wouldn't interfere with the alliance, nor would he tell the Imperials about its existence.
