Legend

this minor Hutt crimelord was a rival of Torga the Hutt, vying for spice smuggling supremacy on Nar Shaddaa during the height of the New Order. Moska had Torga's chief lieutenant, Nak Simm, murdered shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to persuade Torga to turn over his spice operations. The plan was to ensure that Torga looked incompetent in the eyes of Jolla the Hutt, with whom Torga had been planned to forge an alliance. Moska hoped that the death of Nak Simm, coupled with several other assassination attempts on Torga's life, would also make Torga too much of a risk for Jolla. Moska's plans were thwarted when his Clawdite assassin, Nomo Sliken, was captured while posing as Nak Simm. His operations were further undermined by Jolla himself, who posed as Moska to hire a number of assassins to eliminate the mercenaries working for Torga.
