Legend

this Drach'nam ran a slaver consortium from a base on Torpris, during the early years of the New Republic. He was known for his intense hatred of women, especially humans, and kept those that he captured in the slimepits of his base on Torpris. He preferred to be called by the title "First Greatness," something that rankled his competitors. His subordinates were also known as Greatnesses, with ordinals identifying their position within Praysh's organization. The slimepits housed thousands of krizar pupae, which Praysh grew and nurtured for use in guarding his fortress. The women were forced to monitor the growth of the pupae and remove those which were ready to hatch. Any form of disobediance was met with several lashings of a neuronic whip, the weapon of choice for Praysh's Drach'nam guards. When Mara Jade came to Torpris in an effort to rescue Sansia Bardrin, Praysh had her enslaved like any other human female. The Togorian female H'sishi claimed that Mara was a Uoti Corporate spy, and managed to gain an audience with Praysh. In the midst of the discussion, H'sishi managed to return Mara's lightsaber to her, and Mara quickly eliminated Praysh's guards. Praysh himself managed to escape the brief struggle. However, the luxury yacht Winning Gamble - which Sansia had been flying when she was captured - contained detailed information on the defenses of Praysh' palace. This information was turned over to Luke Skywalker and the New Republic, which raided the fortress and rescued the slaves. Praysh himself was imprisoned for his crimes.
