From the edge of the Unknown Regions , Progga was active during the last years of the Galactic Republic . In 27 BBY , Progga , aboard his starship , ambushed the smuggling freighter " Bargain Hunter " in the Outer Rim , hoping to steal the " Bargain Hunter " cargo of rare furs and firegem s . The " Bargain Hunter " fled into hyperspace , and Progga gave chase , eventually following the freighter to a remote star system in the Unknown Regions . However , when Progga finally trapped the " Bargain Hunter " in the system , Picket Force Two of the Chiss Ascendancy Expansionary Fleet attacked both parties . Progga ' s starship attempted to engage the new interlopers , but the Chiss forces proved too powerful , and the Hutt ' s starship was destroyed , killing Progga . Biography . Originating from the fringes of the galaxy ' s Unknown Regions , Progga the Hutt was a temperamental pirate and minor crime lord who was active as of 67 BBY , during the waning days of the Galactic Republic . During this time Progga formed a rivalry with fellow Hutt crime lord Drixo . As a result , in 27 BBY , Progga and his crew , aboard Progga ' s starship , attempted to hijack the smuggling freighter " Bargain Hunter " in the Outer Rim Territories . Drixo hired the " Bargain Hunter " , captained by the Human Dubrak Qennto , to transport a cargo of rare furs and firegem s to the planet Comra . With Progga ' s starship firing on the smuggling freighter , the " Bargain Hunter " made a short jump into hyperspace , hoping to flee Progga ' s ambush . However , the Hutt pirate pursued the " Bargain Hunter " and continued his assault once the freighter had exited hyperspace . Desperate to escape , the " Bargain Hunter " made another jump into hyperspace , and Progga again followed the smugglers . During the resulting four - hour jump , both starships left the Outer Rim Territories , passed through the region known as Wild Space , and exited in the edges of the Unknown Regions . After leaving hyperspace Progga tracked the " Bargain Hunter " to a nearby star system , where the freighter was trapped , its hyperdrive unresponsive . Because the system was the only one in the area , Progga came to the conclusion that Qennto had fled to this system because the smuggler had hidden a treasure hoard there , believing no one would find it . The Hutt hailed the " Bargain Hunter " , demanding to know where Qennto had stashed his treasures ; unbeknownst to Progga , the " Bargain Hunter " , in its haste to escape , had made a random jump and had emerged in that particular star system by happenstance . However , as Qennto tried to convince Progga that he did not have any base in the system , both ships were hit by large Conner net s , which released electromagnetic pulses designed to disable the vessels . While the attack knocked the " Bargain Hunter " out of commission , Progga ' s starship was built to resist the Conner nets , and the Hutt ' s starship turned to confront the beings who had launched the nets , Picket Force Two — composed of a cruiser and three fighter escorts — of the Chiss Ascendancy Expansionary Fleet . Progga ordered his crew to open fire on the Chiss cruiser , the " Springhawk " , and Chiss Force Commander Mitth ' raw ' nuruodo had his cruiser and two of his fighter escorts return fire . The Chiss numbers proved too overwhelming for the Hutt , and the pirate ' s starship was destroyed after six minutes of fighting , killing Progga in the process . Personality and traits . Hermaphroditic like all other Hutts , Progga possessed a masculine personality . Progga was quick to anger and often did not think before acting ; when attacked by the Chiss forces , instead of realizing that he was outnumbered and outgunned , Progga immediately engaged the Chiss , resulting in his death . Progga incorrectly assumed that the only reason Qennto would head to the Unknown Regions was because he had a secret treasure hoard there ; it did not occur to Progga that Qennto had stumbled upon the star system by accident . The Hutt spoke Huttese but could understand Basic as well . Behind the scenes . Progga was created by author Timothy Zahn for his novel " Outbound Flight " , which was released on January 31 , 2006 . The Hutt later received an entry in 2008 ' s " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " . " Darth Plagueis " , a 2012 novel by James Luceno , also mentioned Progga .
