Indobok Pirates The Indobok Pirates , headed by Captain Huba , were a gang of pirates that operated in the Kalarba system . The group was named after the living moon of Kalarba , Indobok . Cooking . The Indobok Pirates did not originally plunder for pleasure ; instead , they cooked . The band , known as the finest cooks in their sector , dreamed of opening a cantina . Hoping to draw one step closed to their dream , the group accepted a job offer from Olag Greck to cook a meal for a Hutt . Unbeknownst to Huba and his men , Greck poisoned the broiled feejay in a failed attempt to kill the Hutt . Realizing his plan had backfired , Greck framed the pirates for serving spoiled feejay , convincing the Hutt to send the pirates to work in a crystal mine . Piracy . Months later , the men escaped on a small ship , fleeing with bounties on their heads and ruined reputations . Desperate to open a cantina and fulfill their dream , the group resorted to piracy , naming themselves the Indobok Pirates . Eventually , the pirates ran across the " Tharen Wayfarer " , a Kalarban starship under the ownership of the Pitareeze family . Hoping to plunder its valuables , the men attacked with swoops and blasters and seized the ship , the droids R2 - D2 and C - 3PO , and a Stenness pie , leaving only a lifeboat for the rest of the crew and passengers . After the successful raid , the pirates returned to their cave hideout and celebrated with many bottles of Elba - beer from the ship ' s stock . A new captain . R2 - D2 and C - 3PO , now unwillingly in the employ of the Indobok Pirates , cooked for the men as they celebrated the recent plunder . However , most of the men had too much beer , and soon passed out . Hoping to escape and return to the Pitareezes , C - 3PO summoned R2 - D2 , and the two began to exit the cave . Yet not all of the pirates were asleep , and Ripter and another stopped the droids and challenged them to a vump - shugga race . In order to defend their honor , the two would have to retrieve the Captain ' s pendant from a mountain peak and return it to Huba before their challenger , Ripter . The three raced towards the peak , droids on one swoop and Ripter on a second . Ripter quickly beat the droids to the pendant , but C - 3PO managed to snatch it from his hand . Distracted by the droids ' success , Riptor accidentally flew in to a group of vynock s and crashed into the rocks . Upon returning to the cave , C - 3PO attempted to give the pendant back to Huba , but the captain refused and threw it to the ground . In doing so , he unintentionally forfeited his captaincy , and Muptupp quickly enforced the election of a new captain . C - 3PO declined the offer , and so R2 - D2 received the Captain ' s pendant . During the renewed celebration brought on by R2 - D2 ' s sudden promotion , Olag Greck and Xob forced the captured kid , Nak Pitareeze , to lead them to the Indobok Pirates ' hidden base . Greck forced Nak to return to the pirates , then crashed the party and pulled his blaster on Huba . At gunpoint , Huba explained that he no longer commanded the pirates , and that R2 - D2 was the de facto captain . Confused by the change of command , Greck did not notice the form sneaking up behind him until it was too late . Ripter , thought to have perished in the vump - shugga race , returned just in time to wrest control of the situation from Greck and save the pirates . Greck and Xob fled , and the pirates once more picked up their celebration . However , due to his programming , R2 - D2 realized that he would not be able to command the plundering , thieving pirates . The astromech droid relinquished command , and in exchange for the return of the " Tharen Wayfarer " , provided the cooks - turned - pirates with his recipe for Stenniss pie . Members .
