Zhug brothers The Zhug brothers were a group of Duros bounty hunters led by Azanti and Dezanti Zhug , consisting of hundreds of individuals bound together by their shared cause — taking control the planet Duro . This " family , " as they considered themselves , was cast out from the Duro after committing violent acts against a politically - connected rival family . After settling on the moon Nar Shaddaa , the Zhug brothers started earning credits by collecting bounties . They plotted to eventually take over their former homeworld of Duro . During the Dark Wars in 3951 BBY , when local Exchange crime lord G0 - T0 placed a bounty on the former Jedi Knight Meetra Surik — known as the Jedi Exile — the Zhug brothers were eager to pursue the Jedi , a task that was eventually devastating to them . When Surik and her companions arrived on Nar Shaddaa , G0 - T0 instructed the bounty hunters not to touch her while she was on the moon . After the Exile was trapped and imprisoned by G0 - T0 ' s forces , the hunters considered the truce finished and began their hunt for her . Three of the Zhug brothers , including their leader Azanti Zhug , pursued Surik ' s companions on the landing pad of their freighter , the " Ebon Hawk " , and all three Zhugs were killed during an exchange of fire . Soon after , eight Zhug brothers attacked the Jedi in the " Visionary " , where G0 - T0 had brought her , with a similar outcome . Eventually , another Zhug leader , Dezanti Zhug , followed Surik to Onderon ' s moon , Dxun , where they fought for the last time , leading to the death of the three Zhug brothers there . History . The Zhug brothers were Duros bounty hunters cast out from the planet Duro after attempting to eliminate a rival , politically - connected ruling family around the time of the Jedi Civil War . Led by Azanti and Dezanti Zhug , the Zhugs numbered in the hundreds , grouped not by blood but by their shared cause , considering themselves to be a new " family . " Eventually settling on Nar Shaddaa — the Nal Hutta moon commonly known as the " Smuggler ' s Moon " — they began hunting for prey in the slums of the ecumenopolis , seeking to collect enough credits to seize Duro for their own . Near the end of the Dark Wars , G0 - T0 , the local Exchange crime lord on Nar Shaddaa , set a large bounty on Jedi , and the Zhug brothers were eager to collect this hefty sum . In 3951 BBY , the former Jedi Knight Meetra Surik — known as the Jedi Exile — arrived on the " Smuggler ' s Moon , " and soon after met former bounty hunter and Bounty Hunters ' Guild leader Vossk . He warned the Exile of the bounty hunters on the moon trying to collect the bounty on her head , with the Zhugs being among the most prominent . Meanwhile , G0 - T0 had invited all bounty hunters on the moon to his yacht , the " Visionary " , where he clearly expressed that the Jedi Exile was not to be harmed while she was on Nar Shaddaa . When they heard of this restriction , the Zhug brothers ' representatives loudly proclaimed G0 - T0 as being mad for not allowing them to hunt her when she was so close . Eventually Surik went to meet with Visquis , a Quarren who acted as the head of G0 - T0 ' s operations on the moon , in order to discuss the bounty ; however , she was taken prisoner instead . The bounty hunters considered this to be the end of the truce , and when G0 - T0 brought the now imprisoned Surik to the " Visionary " , three of the Zhug brothers pursued the Jedi Exile ' s companions — the Zabrak Bao - Dur ; the former Jedi Master Kreia ; the " Ebon Hawk " pilot , Atton Rand ; and the Echani handmaiden Brianna — at the landing pad of their freighter , the " Ebon Hawk " . Instead of ambushing them , the Zhug brothers decided to issue ultimatums and threats , which Surik ' s companions considered unwise . The three hunters , including leader Azanti Zhug , were dispatched in the following short , decisive exchange of fire , but none of Surik ' s comrades were killed . After the fight , two of Jedi Exile ' s companions infiltrated the " Visionary " in an attempt to rescue her . After the Exile ' s companions reached her , eight of the Zhugs boarded the crime lord ' s ship and attempted to kill the trio , but once again failed . The Zhug brothers ' final encounter with the Surik took place on the Onderonian moon of Dxun , where the Zhugs pursued her after she left Nar Shaddaa . Arriving in the Japrael system , they encountered an Onderonian blockade above the planet , and as they tried to approach the spaceport of Iziz , the capital city of planet Onderon , they were stopped in space by the planet ' s fleet . Soon after the arrival of Surik and the Zhug brothers , the ships in the blockade opened fire , and both the " Heraklon " - class transport ship of the Zhug brothers and the Jedi Exile ' s " Ebon Hawk " were forced to land after taking damage from the separatist forces in the opening space battle of the Onderon Civil War . After crash - landing their ship , two surviving Zhug brothers led by Dezanti Zhug confronted Surik in the jungles of the moon . They attempted to claim the Exile ' s bounty , stating that they would not fail to fulfill their part of the deal like Azanti and the other " brothers " had before . However , the trio was similarly defeated in a short and intense fight . Organization . The Zhug brothers consisted of hundreds of Duros who considered themselves a " family " sharing a like cause of seizing their former homeworld Duro . Unlike their rivals on Duro , they were not politically connected , and the Zhug brothers ' violent acts resulted in the Zhugs being cast out from the planet . The Zhug brothers considered themselves famous and powerful bounty hunters . In particular , their leaders , Azanti and Dezanti Zhug , assured Surik of their importance . The leaders also considered themselves good at making deals , and they despised deal - breaking . Members . The Zhug brothers counted in the hundreds , all being members of the Duros species . In 3951 BBY , there were at least two leaders , Azanti and Dezanti Zhug , representing the whole organization . Both ended up as casualties of their hunt for the bounty on the Jedi Exile . Azanti Zhug . Azanti Zhug was an arrogant leader of the Zhug brothers . Showing little or no respect for other bounty hunters , he considered himself and the other Zhugs as being very important and dangerous . During Meetra Surik ' s stay on Nar Shaddaa in 3951 BBY , he eagerly awaited the chance to collect the bounty on her head . Azanti Zhug eventually met his end leading the Zhug brothers ' first attack against Surik and her companions on Nar Shaddaa . Dezanti Zhug . Dezanti was another leader of the Zhug brothers . Showing a similar arrogant attitude and disrespect towards the other hunters as Azanti , Dezanti Zhug claimed to be even more dangerous than Azanti and the other Zhug brothers . While other Zhug brothers chose not to wait and instead attacked Meetra Surik and her companions without him in Nar Shaddaa , Dezanti waited for his chance , and died in a fight with Surik after pursuing her to Dxun in the same year .
