Legend

this Muttani criminal was hunted down by Jango Fett, shortly after the Battle of Naboo, after he escaped from the prison facility on Oovo IV. Ghintee had been serving a life sentence for murder and larceny, and made it as far as the Outland Transit Station before Jango Fett caught up with him. After a reckles flight from the gladiator pits to the station's hangar bays, Meeko nearly escaped again. However, Jango managed to disable the weapon's systems on Meeko's ship and captured him once again. Meeko was returned to Oovo IV, with a second life sentence added to his existing prison time. Meeko again staged an escape attempt, this time by signing onto a work crew that was mining ore from Oovo IV's rocky surface. Unfortunately for Meeko, he was intercepted by Jango Fett as he fled the prison in a mining vehicle. Scared for his life, Meeko tried to shoot Jango down, but the bounty hunter was too fast. Instead, Jango shot and killed Meeko before he could complete his escape.
