Hugo Bartyn Hugo Bartyn , known as The Slayer among the Menahuun sentient species , was a male Human field agent of the exploratory branch of the Outer Rim Oreworks corporation during the time of the Galactic Republic . He was also a big - game hunter and a speciesist prone to chasing and killing sentient species until their extinction . While ORO was aware of this extra - curricular activity , they turned a deaf ear to it because Bartyn ' s working performance was very profitable for them . Circa 583 BBY , Bartyn found Lamaredd , a planet rich in mineral veins , edible seafood , and sentient locals — the Menahuuns . He manipulated events so that ORO would name him Administrator of the planet in exchange for mining rights . While still profiting ORO , he began to exploit the sealife as a personal venture . He built a coastal town , Bartyn ' s Landing , and populated it with poor , uneducated amphibious non - Humans that worked for him as indentured servants , while at the same time hunting the Menahuuns until their near - extinction . The Menahuuns moved to far - off areas and the settlers believed them extinct . ORO eventually discovered Bartyn ' s personal fiefdom in Lamaredd , but they had no legal claim to complain and decided to ignore his activities because the investment was still lucrative . Bartyn abused his fishermen in the company Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies for years , until they challenged him through a Sailor ' s Union . In 499 BBY , the octogenarian Bartyn and some trusted partners , including his oldest son Traggat , investigated strange happenings on the outskirts of his town . They all mysteriously disappeared , and their corpses were later found . Bartyn was succeeded as Administrator by his daughter Tria , and his family kept control over Lamaredd for five centuries . While Hugo Bartyn was locally remembered as a tyrant , his deeds were almost unknown off - planet . Biography . Origins . Hugo Bartyn , a Human male born circa 583 BBY , was an employee of Outer Rim Oreworks , a great corporation that intended to exploit the gases and minerals of several planets . Bartyn worked as a scout for the exploratory branch of ORO , discovering uninhabited worlds that ORO could settle and develop , and from which ORO would gain a significant profit while doing so . A big - game hunt aficionado , Bartyn secretly tracked and killed several sentient species of locals , both to satisfy his desire for difficult sport and to clear areas that ORO would otherwise be unable to strip - mine appropriately . Several high - ranking officers at ORO knew of this unpublished fact but , as Bartyn was a useful employee , ORO simply turned a blind eye . After working for ORO for decades , Bartyn began to feel the ill effects of time in his health . Circa 529 BBY , Bartyn and his team discovered , scouted , and mapped the Lamaro system , in the Outer Rim Territories . The third planet , the 85 % - aquatic Lamaredd , was rich in minerals , metals , and life — including seafood and a native sentient species , the primitive Menahuun . Bartyn developed a scheme . He wanted ORO to claim Lamaredd so that they could mine the planet , and at the same time he wanted to stay there and export seafood , living the best years of his life as an entrepreneur . As such , he contacted the Senate Mining Bureau to claim Lamaredd even before reporting his discovery to ORO . He then sent a report to ORO , giving optimistic perspectives to the mining company — but omitting any reference to the seafood as a possible source of income . Bartyn also used all of the resources he could wager to be named Administrator of the planet and to obtain some terrain for himself in a bay near the mines , instead of being assigned a new scouting mission . Lastly , Bartyn noticed that while Lamaro was little - known , its coordinates were present in the star charts used for cartography . The crafty Bartyn managed to delete the coordinates of Lamaro from most of those maps . ORO sent droids and engineers to build the main mine , ORO Mining Station LM0228 , along with the needed infrastructures . Meanwhile , Bartyn and his personal circle of associates hunted the locals along the coasts . To do so , Bartyn built a command center in the mine , intending to use it as his headquarters . After a time , the settlers believed that they had annihilated the coastal - dwelling Menahuun — in reality , the coastal tribes of Menahuun had joined other tribes in the forest and retreated toward the north . Bartyn suspected the truth , although most of his friends and bosses believed otherwise . Once the construction had been finished , Bartyn bribed several people so that the droids would stay there . ORO provided Bartyn with several hundred mining droid s and left Bartyn alone for several years , waiting for him to turn a profit from their investment . As the mines were completely automated , Bartyn gave little attention to the individual droids , mere machines that continued performing their tasks . Bartyn ' s Landing . Bartyn had complex plans . He contacted some Neimoidian traders who wanted to dismantle an old , three - kilometer - long Hoersch - Kessel LH - 3010 capital freighter , and bought the ship with all of his personal savings . Using his droids , he placed the ship in the bay , blew up several parts of it with mining gear , and performed many customizations to create spaceports , piers , and habitats . After several months , the freighter became Bartyn ' s personal dock town , from where he intended to fish all of the seafood . Eventually , it would become known as Bartyn ' s Landing — the first person to use this name was never recorded , but the team ' s MD medical droid MD - 0C6 maintained that it had been his idea . In less time than expected , Bartyn mined enough for ORO to profit from his activities . ORO suspected that Bartyn was performing immoral or illegal activities , but they refused to ask any unwanted questions , fearing that it could affect the proceeds . At the same time , Bartyn was keeping for himself part of the money he was supposed to give to ORO . Although Bartyn bought 209 old Ubrikkian 222 heavy fishing trawlers from the Hutts , and had already provided his droids with expensive software about seafood processing , he still needed sentient fishermen to provide him with the catch . He sent " recruiters " to the planets Champala , Dac , Iskalon , and Naboo to attract settlers from the local amphibious species with empty words of new lives . Once the Chagrians , Gungans , Iskalonian s , Mon Calamari , and Quarrens were in Lamaredd , Bartyn destroyed their documents and tried to turn them into indentured servants or slaves . Most of the Iskalonians refused , and they were sent to their deaths in wooden boats . The survivors , later known as the First - Wavers , were kept in the outer area of Bartyn ' s Landing , which eventually became known as The Ring . Many of these First - Wavers squabbled with each other , sometimes reaching violence , and Bartyn also restricted the assignments of food and living space , awarding his best sailors with inexpensive prizes . Bartyn ' s side company , Bartyn Gourmet Delicacies , became his greatest source of income , selling seafood that was in great demand particularly among Alderaan nobility , Hutts , and dilettantes . Bartyn , satisfied , saw his town becoming an important trading center . He became fabulously rich , and in a few years he had free time to personally explore the local wild areas , hunting any remaining beasts . He tried to wipe out the water - dwelling Gulletbeast s , a threat to his sailors , but he visibly failed at this . Bartyn then secretly obtained claims to most of the key planetary locations , taking them from ORO , and established outposts on many of the greatest islands . When a number of Quarren wanted to settle in a different fishing town , Bartyn was in position to lease them some land in the other side of the bay so they could form The Shoals . Bartyn also manipulated paperwork so that he would control the budget of ORO ' s Security and Law Enforcement , meaning that ORO would pay the salaries of the Security Chief or constable , and the Security Chief ' s Second , which in turn allowed him to provide a number of liberties to his servants and established " dens of vice . " Only too late did ORO discover that Bartyn had turned Lamaredd into his own fief . ORO sent a security force to take control of the spaceport , and Bartyn allowed them to do their work . He nonetheless took measures so that these ORO employees would answer to the local Administrator , meaning himself , which allowed him to hide his seafood exports from ORO . As Bartyn continued to provide ORO with earnings , the company took no other punitive measures against him . Sailor ' s Union . Circa 517 BBY , Bartyn considered his sailors to be his most important assets . As several non - Humans had proved themselves in the craft , Bartyn had promoted seventeen of them , including the Chagrian female Sirrik Olyeg , as unofficial skippers of trawlers . These individuals created an unofficial information network among boats for security reasons . Then , Olyeg began to use it subversively , convincing the other captains , including some Humans , to take active measures against Bartyn ' s oppressive government — even if the captains themselves were less oppressed than the workers at the Landing . Olyeg ' s revolutionary words used fishing metaphors as a cryptography system , to avoid being detected by any of Bartyn ' s supporters or monitors . Olyeg planned an unexpected work stoppage , when the ships were on the high seas . Bartyn could not use his remaining sailors to track the missing ones , as he needed at least some of them fishing and the terrain was too big . Rumors extended about the Gulletbeasts , the Menahuun , and even the Sith being behind this , but eventually the truth became known in the Landing , much to Bartyn ' s chagrin . The workers felt that Bartyn was to blame , and they stopped attacking each other to join the strike . Having pending orders from some customers , including some Hutts , Bartyn resorted to threats and violence , but despite his workers ' opposition , he could not kill them . As such , Bartyn was defenseless . Then , Bartyn was offered a meeting with Olyeg , first chair of the Sailor ' s Union . Olyeg convinced Bartyn to increase the space provided to non - Human citizens , and even to lease them acres of terrain outside the spaceport — although Bartyn specified that the leasor was responsible for cleaning the property of any natural threat , including predators , a measure that would improve the security at the Landing . Bartyn was forced to cede Jotsen ' s Island , the second greatest continent of the planet , as an " alien homeland " — which was renamed " Little Mon Cal . " After this meeting , the Union had become a force to be considered , but Bartyn himself had solved many mid - term and long - term problems , so he was nevertheless satisfied about the results . He also ordered his people to murder Olyeg . Later years . By circa 499 BBY , Bartyn , now eighty - four years old , had married and formed a family , including his oldest son Traggat and oldest daughter Tria Bartyn . He also moved his operations to his old command center in the mine , and eventually sealed it up . At that point , several trawlers were lost in the sea , several babies were kidnapped reportedly by " beasts , " and strange artifacts appeared in the jungles around the Landing , prompting several ghost stories to circulate . Bartyn decided to unravel this mystery and track those responsible . He formed a thirteen - person team , including Traggat and the survivors of his original ORO team ; took many weapons ; and ventured in the jungle . He was never seen again , although further investigations found proof of the team ' s violent and gruesome death at the hands of primitives or animals that had broken down their tissues , partly eaten their food and their livestock , and taken away their electronic gear . Legacy . Tria inherited Hugo Bartyn ' s rank as Administrator , although she discontinued her father ' s oppressive policies , thereby gaining the respect of the non - Humans . After her death , the ORO Administratorship was successively inherited by other descendants of Bartyn , at least until 29 BBY . Bartyn ' s original trawlers were still active for five centuries after his death , although the personal conditions of the non - Humans changed , with achievements that would have been unimaginable in his days — including a great number of fishermen that were not affiliated with the Bartyns . Bartyn ' s name was still remembered in many senses , and the highest mountain near the Landing was named Mt . Hugo after him . Having annihilated the native Menahuuns , Bartyn was a well - known name on Lamaredd in the remaining centuries , both among the non - Human inhabitants of Bartyn ' s Landing and among the surviving Menahuun , who had nicknamed Bartyn " the Slayer . " In 29 BBY , the tale of Bartyn was discovered by a team sent by the Jedi Council . These people also found an anti - Human terrorist group that desired revenge for Bartyn ' s perceived crimes . Personality and traits . Hugo Bartyn had a great skill in his areas of expertise . As an officer of ORO ' s exploratory branch , he could value a planet in terms of useful resources for mining companies , or for other kinds of companies , in little time . He was also an excellent manager and a cunning negotiator , and was familiar with bribery , blackmail , and the use of favors . Bartyn was a speciesist , believing that many non - Human species were " little more than animals , " particularly if a species had no space travel technology . In the case of primitive species , Bartyn was known to enjoy hunting them , one of his favorite activities . He was not beyond ordering the cold - blooded murder of a person he had talked to , as exemplified in Sirrik Olyeg . He also enslaved numerous non - Humans . Nonetheless , when his non - Human " employees " proved their worth , Bartyn was not beyond rewarding them . Bartyn was ambitious when talking about money , and was courageous , sometimes beyond his skills . Even at a venerable age , Bartyn decided to go in a dangerous hunt , putting his own life and that of his son in risk when he considered that he should do so . Behind the scenes . Hugo Bartyn was created by writer Cory J . Herndon and was featured in the article " Bartyn ' s Landing " , with special prominence in the section " The Tale of Hugo Bartyn . " The character was also mentioned in the role - playing adventure " Reckonings " . Both " Bartyn ' s Landing " and " Reckonings " were published in the magazine " Star Wars Gamer " # 7 ( 2001 ) . The roleplaying guide " Ultimate Alien Anthology " ( 2003 ) included a text on the Menahuun species that indirectly mentions Bartyn by re - telling some of his actions . All of these sources were supplements to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game published by Wizards of the Coast . Bartyn was later mentioned in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " ( 2008 ) .
