Slyssk Slyssk was a male Trandoshan ship thief , who joined Marn Hierogryph and Jedi Zayne Carrick through their adventures in the Mandalorian Wars . Biography . Stealing a ship to Serroco . A male Trandoshan , Slyssk lived around the time of the Mandalorian Wars , a major conflict between the Galactic Republic and the nomadic Mandalorian warriors . A core part of Trandoshan culture was hunting but partaking in it left Slyysk feeling nauseous so he choose an alternate career as a starship thief . Slyssk joined the Raff Syndicate where he learned how to steal ships , but he soon became disenfranchised with the pirate group and ended up being kicked out of their ranks before he could actually learn how to pilot the craft he stole . Slyssk ' s skills were later enlisted when Snivvian black marketeer , Marn Hierogryph , and Human Jedi Padawan , Zayne Carrick — both of whom were on the run from the Jedi Covenant after being falsely accused as the perpetrators of the Padawan Massacre of Taris — were looking for passage off the planet Ralltiir . Hierogryph arranged for Slyssk to steal a ship that would be delivered to Pad 223 at midnight for the sum of 9000 . The Trandoshan ' s target ship was the " Little Bivoli " , a " Quartermaster " - class supply carrier owned by a crew of freelance provisioners who assisted the overwhelmed supply channels of the Republic Navy . While the owners were preparing to refuel the ship , Slyssk stole the " Bivoli " and flew it to Pad 223 , damaging several lampposts in the process of landing the craft . He hid inside the ship upon seeing Hierogryph and Carrick waiting , but the timid Trandoshan eventually emerged only to demand ten times his original price . He reasoned that Hierogryph ' s notoriety warranted the increase , but negotiations between the two sentients were proving futile so Carrick used the Force to bring one of the damaged lampposts down onto Slyssk . Hierogryph pushed the Trandoshan out of harm ' s way in time — an act which Slyssk saw fit to swear a life debt for , naming the Snivvian as his ghrakhowsk — to let them have the ship for free under the terms of Slyssk ' s life debt . The original crew then arrived and attempted to recover their ship , forcing the trio to get aboard the ship and take off . Upon arriving in orbit , the " Bivoli " was hailed by the " Courageous " , flagship of a Republic fleet , and ordered to join formation for a hyperspace jump to Serroco where a confrontation with the Mandalorians was forthcoming . The " Bivoli " landed on Serroco at Camp Three , a staging ground for the Republic Army , where Hierogryph opened the ship as an alternative to the army commissary . Slyssk was employed as the chef , with his Bivoli Tempari gaining a positive reputation among the soldiers and highlighting the " Bivoli " as " the place to be in Camp Three " . Carrick , meanwhile , insisted that Slyssk and Hierogryph leave the planet on the basis of a premonition he had of the impending Mandalorian attack and left for the " Courageous " to try and warn the fleet . On the next day — the same day Carrick had predicted the battle would take place — Slyssk prepared Trandoshani flatcakes using an improved method of his that made the food particularly good . Despite Carrick pleading with Hierogryph via comlink for them to leave , the Snivvian kept the " Bivoli " open into the afternoon and only made ready to leave after a warning siren sounded the arrival of Mandalorian vessels in the system . At this point , Slyssk informed Hierogryph that , because he had stolen the ship before it was completely refueled , there was not enough fuel to leave the planet . The Trandoshan soon suffered a panic attack , seized his " ghrakhowsk " , and ran aboard a delayed troop transport . Forcing himself past the transport ' s guards , Slyssk took the helm and launched the ship to safety . It later transpired that the transport ' s flight crew had been asleep , and thus Slyssk had inadvertently saved half a battalion of Republic soldier s . When met on Chandrila by members of the Ministry of Defense , a propaganda story was built around Hierogryph and Slyssk using the identities of Captain Benegryph Goodvalor and Commander True , Goodvalor ' s " trusty Trandoshan sidekick " , respectively . Serving his " ghrakhowsk " . Eventually , the pair were picked up by the Ithorian , bounty hunting Moomo Brothers by the order of Lhosan Industries ' chairman , Jervo Thalien , for a task on the planet Taris . While Hierogryph led the Taris Resistance against the Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders who had invaded the planet , Slyssk and Dob Moomo retrieved Carrick from the beleaguered " Arkanian Legacy " and brought him , as well as Jedi Knight Alek ; Mandalorian scientist Demagol , disguised as Rohlan Dyre ; and Arkanian Offshoot Jarael , back to Taris . Arriving on Taris , Carrick jumped from the Moomo ' s ship , " Moomo Williwaw " , and met with Hierogryph , leaving Slyssk and the rest of the group to find a place in orbit to wait . Around the same time as the Mandalorian occupation of Taris , a bounty placed upon Slyysk for charges of piracy totalling 40 , 000 was advertised in " " trade publication . The resistance on Taris ultimately failedso Slyssk and the " Williwaw " escorted Sector Constable Noana Sowrs ' s children safely to Alderaan before hastening to rescue Carrick and Hierogryph from the Rakghoul – infested planet of Jebble . Slyysk remained with the crew during their travels to the planet Odryn where part of the group retrieved Sith artifacts from a Jedi Covenant storehouse with which they could expose the Covenant . The " Williwaw " arrived at Coruscant , home to the base of the Jedi Covenant and the Jedi Order as a whole , to find its path blocked by a formation of Republic warships . Attempting to run the blockade led by " Swiftsure " , the ship was heavily damaged , forcing the crew to try a different plan . Purposefully crashing the " Williwaw " into " Swiftsure " hangar , Slyysk stole aboard a " Conductor " - class shuttle and , using the discord caused by the " Williwaw " crash as cover , ferried Carrick and Hierogryph to the planet below . Slyysk had a panic attack after landing which forced Hierogryph to give the Trandoshan some credits and send him to a hotel to rest . Hierogryph and Carrick were successful in clearing their names with the Jedi , bringing an end to the Jedi Covenant in the process , and set out to stop those who made life poorer for others . While Carrick took a leave of absence , Hierogryph sent Slyysk to buy a new starship to replace the " Williwaw " . As he had only ever stolen ships previously , the Trandoshan became nervous at the prospect of legally buying one and so he bought what was described to him as " a gem of a ship " . What he did not realize was that the ship , called " Hot Prospect " , was in fact a Calipsan 560 gem mining ship infested with mynocks and generally in poor condition . In return for being fooled into buying the sub - par ship , Hierogryph used his position as Slyysk ' s " ghrakhowsk " to make the Trandoshan work on cleaning up the ship . The crew of the " Hot Prospect " , still minus Carrick , went to the planetary rights auction being held at the Metellos Exchange with the intention of scamming it . Their ploy was uncovered by the Chevin manager of the Raff Syndicate - backed Metellos Exchange , Nunk Plaarvin , leading to the capture of Jarael and Demagol . Carrick returned and met up with Hierogryph and Slyysk aboard the " Hot Prospect " where they formulated a plan to rescue their friends by having the Trandoshan pretend to be a Raff captain , complete with a suitable outfit that recycled the " Prospect " mynocks as kneepads . The trio confronted Plaarvin and managed to intimidate him into leaving for the recently decimated planet , Jebble . With Plaarvin gone , Jarael and Demagol were rescued and the " Prospect " left Metellos 3 to investigate a missing ship , the " Chancellor Fillorean " . Slyssk hotwired the hatches of the " Chancellor Fillorean " to gain entry , only for the crew to find it with all hands dead bar two : Toki Tollivar , a masquerading Bimm Sith Acolyte ; and his companion droid . Slyssk gave the Bimm water and prepared food , but when the Trandoshan was left alone with Tollivar , the Sith attempted to strangle him . Demagol performed a field tracheotomy , saving the Trandoshan ' s life , before Tollivar was exposed as a Sith and killed . The " Hot Prospect " then traveled to the swoopdueling tournaments at Jervo ' s World where Slyssk was forced to remain medicated on the ship under Demagol ' s care while he recovered from Tollivar ' s attack . Chasing the Crucible . The " Hot Prospect " next stopped off at Wor Tandell , where Slyssk knew a friend at a plantation who would let them use the plantation ' s facilities . Jedi Knight Alek , now going by the name Malak , met Jarael at the camp and Slyssk was on hand to cook a meal for the party . After a confrontation between Malak and Demagol , the crew left the planet to root out The Crucible slaving operation . Meanwhile , Slyssk , continuing his role of ship cleaner by mopping up after Demagol ' s chemical experiments , found a microtag that had been affixed to Exar Kun ' s lightsaber which Demagol had extracted from nullification resin . Arriving in the Koornacht Cluster , Carrick and Jarael pretended to be Crucible traders and confronted the head of the Sungrazer cooperative , Sariyah Budan , and threatened to undercut Budan ' s mining operation by collecting the valuable thorilide crystals themselves . To lend credence to their threat , the rest of the " Prospect " crew started harvesting crystals with Slyssk even working out how to use several of the mining systems on the Calipsan 560 , including the particle accelerator . The Trandoshan also pointed out to Hierogryph that they could use the ship ' s on - board centrifuge to process the crystals on the ship for greater convenience . However , as soon as Carrick and Jarael started to free the enslaved workers , Crucible Fleet Captain Dace Golliard arrived aboard the " Gladiator " to bring a halt to the disruption . With the Crucible ship laying down heavy blasterfire on the " Prospect " attitude thrusters , Slyssk was unable to move the ship around to retaliate with what little weaponry it possessed . Improvising , the crew used xenoboric acid , a drill and a crane arm to attack the " Gladiator " . To make their escape , Carrick told Slyssk to shut off the inertial compensator s while he jammed the massive centrifuge aboard the " Prospect " . The resulting transfer of momentum sent the mining ship into a sudden spin , allowing it to get clear enough to jump to hyperspace . In an attempt to track down the Crucible ' s base , Carrick posed as " Carth Kamlin " , a stranded Republic Navy officer , and was taken to the planet Volgax . Jarael eventually managed to discover Carrick ' s location after the Crucible abandoned Volgax , but a disagreement over Jarael ' s past left the crew of the " Hot Prospect " bereft of both her and Demagol . Meanwhile , on Coruscant , Rohlan Dyre — widely believed to actually be Demagol — awoke from the coma he had been in from when Demagol slipped aboard Carrick ' s ship prior to the Jedi and his companions meeting Slyssk . Carrick , Hierogryph and Slyssk were asked to return to Coruscant so that they could give evidence at Demagol ' s trial for the many crimes and grotesque experiments he had carried out . However , before the trial , Carrick managed to get Hierogryph and Slyssk to reveal what had actually happened to them on Serroco . In a similar revelation , T1 - LB — a bulk - loading droid that had been traveling with Carrick — explained that Demagol had switched places with Dyre so that the latter was facing trial for the former ' s crimes . After breaking Dyre free from his trial as Demagol , Carrick sent Slyssk to collect a set of Mandalorian armor for Dyre as well as to escort Shel Jelavan , a co - founder of Carrick ' s Rogue Moon Project , back to the base of the Project where the group formed a plan to find and rescue Jarael . Slyssk piloted the " Hot Prospect " for a final mission in which Dace Golliard was captured . Golliard subsequently surrendered the location of where Jarael and Demagol were : the planet Osadia . On Osadia , Carrick and Dyre managed to save Jarael while Demagol was killed , bringing an end to the dangerous work he carried out . Days later , the group went their own separate ways , with Slyssk working under Hierogryph as a waiter and chef in the Goodvalor ' s Little Bivoli restaurant on Coruscant .
