Legend

this hulking Jenet was the owner and Administrator of the Pearl Island Casino on Pavo Prime, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known for his love of rare and unusual art, and collected several Alderaanian boasas as payment of a gambling debt from Threkim Horm. When he learned that Horm had used other boasas to pay off other debts, Lebauer spent a small fortune obtaining the complete set of ten boasas, and built a wondrous display area in the Pearl Island Casino to keep them. Shortly after the Battle of Endor, Ludlo began negotiating with the New Republic on an exclusive salvage contract, pitting himself against the forces of the Invisible Shell. The Republic began to take Ludlo's offer seriously, when the New Republic Intelligence agency believed he was the party responsible for selling rare artworks to the Empire, unaware that it was the Squibs Sligh, Emala, and Grees working through the Invisible Shell to sell the art. When the Republic refused to give exclusive rights to any one organization, Lebauer tried to obtain the salvage contract by offering the ten boasas to Leia Organa Solo in return. Leia would not agree to such a deal, much to Ludlo's consternation. She did, however, learn of Ludlo's plans to take control of the Invisible Shell from his uncle, Lorimar Lebauer, and offered him Lorimar's release from prison in exchange for the boasas and the Second Mistake. Despite his hatred of Lorimar, Ludlo realized that he couldn't turn the deal down without exposing his own plans for the Invisible Shell. He agreed, but then tried to have Leia, Han, and the Squibs killed before they could leave Pavo Prime. His plan backfired, and Ludlo was forced to accede to Leia's plans when she threatened to expose his treachery to Lorimar. He turned over the ten boasas and the Second Mistake, then revealed that the information on the MS-19 was bogus.
