Legend

this Hutt crimelord was one of the galaxy's primary information dealers, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was one of the few non-military beings who knew about the development of the Decimator, having learned of it from one of his informants, Bogeega Bu'Daay. Boorka saw an opportunity to line his coffers with credits, and contacted the Conferedacy of Independent Systems with an offer to turn the Decimator information over to them. His ties to the Separatists earned him a place of the Old Republic's wanted lists during the height of the Clone Wars, but he was unaware that the Jedi Knights already had an individual inside his organization. Echuu Shen-Jon managed to get close enough to Boorka to reveal his presence, before killing the Hutt and ending his connection to the Separtists. It was later rumored that Shen-Jon had been paid by Boorka's chief rival, Jabba the Hutt, to eliminate the crimelord.
