Legend

this Ansionian was the Highborn of the Qulun clan, during the ten years following the Battle of Naboo. He was distinguished from most other Ansionians by the fact that he was portly and completely bald. He was also never one to shy away from making a quick credit or two, and when he discovered that Soergg the Hutt had placed a bounty on the heads of the Jedi Knights who were looking for the Borokii overclan, Baiuntu took it up himself and his clan to find them. Soergg didn't want the Jedi killed, merely delayed until the vote to secede from the Old Republic had been finalized. The Qulun managed to intercept the Jedi - Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, as well as the Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee - shortly after they met with the Yima clan. Baiuntu and Qulun appeared friendly at first, but quickly incapacitated the Jedi and their Alwari companions, Kyakhta and Bulgan. The Qulun were unable to capture Tooqui, however, and the Gwurran managed to find a way to rescue his friends. Using a stampeding herd of lorqual, Tooqui destroyed the Qulun caravan and rescued them. In the aftermath, Baiuntu and his clan were unprepared for an attack by a pack of shanh. Baiuntu was among the first Qulun to be killed and eaten.
