Shahan Alama was a male Weequay bounty hunter from the planet Sriluur . He was a member of a gang of pirates but was eventually deemed too nasty and kicked out , earning him a bad reputation among other pirates . At some point during his career , he stole a belt from a Twi ' lek noble , and by approximately 21 BBY he had the arm of a combat droid grafted onto his right elbow . During the Clone Wars , Alama , along with the technician Robonino and the Jedi - turned - hunter Aurra Sing , was recruited by the Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane to see how well they would work as a team . Bane hoped to use them in his upcoming mission to free the Hutt crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure from Republic prison on the galactic capital of Coruscant . Ziro had been placed in the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center for his role in the kidnapping of his great - nephew , Rotta , and Bane had been hired by the Hutts to free him — but first he wanted to assess the hunters ' ability to work together . Bane decided to test the trio by having them capture the bounty hunter Davtokk on the planet Keyorin . The Duros convinced Davtokk to come to Keyorin by telling him that he needed recruits , although Bane knew that the hunter would betray him for the large bounty on the Duros ' s head . When Davtokk arrived on Keyorin , he met Bane in an explosives - wired building and abruptly shot him , only to find that what he had shot was actually a B1 battle droid mannequin of Bane . Davtokk was instantly ambushed by Robonino , who detonated the building ' s explosives , forcing the hunter outside . Alama was waiting for him and quickly caught him in a razor net . The hunter managed to break free and use a flash grenade to evade the onrushing Weequay , but Davtokk was abruptly shot through the knees by sniper fire from Sing . Bane then arrived on the scene and killed Davtokk . Pleased with the trio ' s performance , Bane took his new posse to Coruscant to prepare for the operation to rescue Ziro . Bane ' s plan was to capture several senators and hold them hostage , using them as leverage to force Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to free Ziro . Raid on the Senate . The mission began as Bane and Alama , along with two BX - series droid commandos and an IG - 86 sentinel droid , landed at the entrance to the Republic Executive Building in an airspeeder . As they were confronted by a squad of Senate Commandos , a unit within the Senate Guard , Sing attacked the squad with sniper fire from a nearby building , and the commandos were quickly eliminated . Sing and Robonino flew down to the entrance in another airspeeder with several more sentinel droid s . Leaving the droid commandos outside , Alama , Sing , Robonino , Bane , and the sentinel droids entered the Executive Building . Robonino stayed in the building ' s power control room to shut down the building ' s power , while the others continued to the East Wing , sabotaging the Senate Guards ' barracks along the way . The group reached the atrium , which was filled with several senators who had gathered to discuss the Enhanced Privacy Invasion Bill . The bounty hunters quickly surrounded them , taking them hostage . With the captives secured , Bane contacted Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and requested that Ziro be released . As Palpatine refused , Robonino successfully shut down the building ' s power and activated the emergency lockdown , trapping Palpatine and Senator Orn Free Taa in the Chancellor ' s office . Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker — who had been spending time in the Senate Building with his secret wife , Senator Padmé Amidala , when the attack began — found the senators being held hostage and spied on the events taking place . Noticing Skywalker , Bane opened fire on the Jedi , who quickly took off running . Recognizing the Jedi as a potential threat to the mission , Bane sent Alama and a sentinel droid after him . As they searched the building , Alama and the droid heard Skywalker in a room , speaking with Palpatine via comlink . The Jedi hid before they walked in and proceeded to use a mind trick on the Weequay to get the pair to leave . After Alama and the sentinel droid split up to continue the search , Skywalker attacked the droid ; but since he had earlier given his lightsaber to Amidala , he was forced to engage the droid in hand - to - hand combat . By the time Alama returned to the scene , Skywalker had escaped , but after examining the droid ' s remains , Alama deduced that the Jedi was not in possession of his lightsaber . Alama reported this finding to Bane and continued the search with the help of Sing . They found Skywalker trying to break into the power control room , but the Jedi pulled Alama ' s blaster out of his hand before the Weequay could shoot . Alama suddenly ducked , and Sing , who had been standing right behind him , took aim at the Jedi , shooting Alama ' s blaster out of Skywalker ' s hand . Robonino ambushed the Jedi from behind , shocking him and knocking him out , and the hunters put the unconscious Jedi in stun cuffs and took him to Bane . Palpatine , meanwhile , finally agreed to give a pardon disc to Senator Taa , who was to deliver the disc to the prison so that Ziro could be released . Sentinel droid HELIOS - 3D then escorted the freed Hutt back to the Executive Building , where Bane , Alama , and the team set up a system of lasers around the hostage senators that , if triggered , would set off explosives and detonate the entire atrium . Bane held an alternate detonator for the explosives and used it as leverage to ensure his team ' s escape . As they flew away , Bane activated the explosives as payback for the indignities that Ziro suffered while in prison , but Skywalker , who had awoken and retrieved his lightsaber from Amidala , was able to save the senators . On the run . Shortly after the bounty hunters escaped , Alama revealed that he didn ' t trust Bane to hand over his share of the credits . Bane ordered Alama and the other hunters to temporarily go into hiding , and the Weequay traveled out to the Outer Rim Territories in his " Flarestar " - class attack shuttle . Over the planet Florrum , he ran into Confederate forces under the command of a Neimoidian captain . The captain , believing Alama to be a pirate , ordered his troops to open fire on the ship . Alama began to head for Florrum ' s surface , but Republic forces stationed nearby arrived on the scene and defeated the Confederates before going on to attack Alama , shooting him down . The Weequay crash - landed his ship on the planet , where he found fellow Weequay Hondo Ohnaka , who was the leader of a group of pirates . Ohnaka then suggested that he would hold Alama captive and give him to whomever was willing to pay him the most . Personality and traits . Alama usually preferred to work alone , but he also worked well with other such solitary beings . His " excessive nastiness " caused his membership in a pirate gang to be revoked and earned him a reputation as a bad pirate . The Weequay had a sense of self - confidence about him and was not afraid of confronting Anakin Skywalker , a well - known Jedi Knight . However , Alama proved to be vulnerable to certain Force effects , as Skywalker was able to employ a mind trick on the Weequay . Still , Alama was also observant ; during investigations of the sentinel droid that Skywalker had destroyed , he noticed instantly that the droid bore no lightsaber marks . From this observation , Alama quickly came to the conclusion that Skywalker was unarmed . After the bounty hunters escaped with Ziro , Bane told them all to go into hiding . He promised that he ' d take care of distributing their earnings , and although Alama didn ' t trust Bane to do this , he left without his share of the bounty . Alama was a highly skilled tracker , a competent pilot , and a proficient gunman ; and he acquitted himself as a bounty hunter who was quick with a blaster . For weaponry , Alama carried an LL - 30 blaster pistol , a blaster rifle , and a razor net , and he often wore a red beret that he had saved from his tenure as a pirate . He also wore boots of nerf - hide , a belt that he had stolen from a Twi ' lek noble , and a combat droid arm that was grafted on his right elbow . Behind the scenes .
