Ohnaka Gang / Legends The Ohnaka Gang , sometimes referred to as the Weequay pirates , was a gang of pirates led by Hondo Ohnaka that was based on the planet Florrum during the Clone Wars , being comprised of Weequay , Nikto , Bith , and Ishi Tib pirates . History . Foundation by Ohnaka . Hondo started the pirate gang after he and several servants of Porla the Hutt fled from Boonta on Porla ' s skiff and took with them several Ubrikkian tanks and Starhawk speeder bikes . Ohnaka managed to make his money by selling spice on the black market and by holding hostages for ransom . The pirates were known to use swoops , tanks , " Flarestar " - class attack shuttles and a Surronian cruiser in combat . Their main choice of weapons consisted out of ancient blaster rifles and blaster pistols . The gang mainly consisted of Weequays and Nikto , as well as some Bith , Ishi Tibs , and Jawas , the organization ' s base of operations was located on the Outer Rim world of Florrum . Capture of Count Dooku . On Vanqor , the pirates discovered Count Dooku , fresh from a battle against Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi - Wan Kenobi , and his heavily damaged solar sailer . Hondo offered him passage to Florrum , a planet six parsecs away . When they arrived at Ohnaka ' s base , Hondo revealed his true intention of offering Dooku for ransom to the Republic for 1 , 000 , 000 credits in spice . Chancellor Palpatine sent Kenobi and Skywalker to confirm the capture of Dooku and negotiate with the pirates , but they too were captured by the pirates , because Ohnaka wanted to triple the spice ransom . Turk Falso , Ohnaka ' s lieutenant and Barb Mentir , a fellow pirate , conspired together in betraying the gang and stealing the spice for themselves . Mentir managed to shoot down the Republic shuttle carrying the spice ransom with a " Flarestar " - class Weequay ship and killing the pilots and Senator Kharrus . Jar Jar Binks , Commander Stone and the remaining clone troopers were then attacked by Falso and half a dozen pirates , utilizing swoop bikes . They stole the spice from the shuttle , but the clones and Jar Jar chased the pirates by riding on skalders and they managed to get the spice back . Falso returned back to the base and he said to Ohnaka that the Republic hadn ' t send the spice but an army . Hondo gave him permission to send pirate tanks to wipe out the clone army . The plan failed and the power line to the base was accidentally destroyed by Binks , who drove one of the tanks into the line . During the chaos that followed in the now darkened outpost , the hostages managed to escape . Dooku killed Falso and stole a saucer craft and escaped Florrum . The Jedi kidnapped Ohnaka by using a lightsaber , while the clones and Jar Jar arrived in two stolen tanks . Skywalker released Hondo when he felt that Dooku had left Florrum . Ohnaka ordered his men to stand down and he let the Jedi , the clones and Binks leave in the " Twilight " . Attack on Felucia . Sometime after the capture of Count Dooku , Ohnaka and the band attacked a small nysillin farmer settlement on the planet Felucia . If the villagers would not give him a portion of their crop every harvest , he threatened to destroy them and their homes . Seeking protection for themselves and their crops , they hired a band of bounty hunters consisting of Sugi , Seripas , Embo , and Rumi Paramita , who drove a far more reasonable bargain than the pirates . The hunters were further reinforced when Jedi Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Skywalker ' s Padawan Ahsoka Tano crashed on the planet and decided to help . Ohnaka ' s gang was being driven close to defeat when Ohnaka opened fire on the village with his WLO - 5 speeder tank , killing Rumi and injuring Embo . Ohnaka dueled Skywalker with an Electrostaff but was defeated . He escaped in his " Corona " - class ship , declaring that ' this operation was no longer profitable . ' Aurra Sing incident . At some point after the skirmish on Felucia , Aurra Sing , Ohnaka ' s former girlfriend , showed up requesting help . Ohnaka welcomed her but asserted his group ' s neutrality , stating it was her affair and that he would neither help nor hinder her . Castas , one of Sing ' s bounty hunters , had decided to back out and contacted his companions for help , but Sing shot him after hearing him call her an ' old hag . ' The Jedi Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano arrived , and Ohnaka led them into Sing ' s trap — while informing them about it , in order to assert his neutrality . After the negotiation went south , Sing escaped , betraying Boba Fett by leaving him to the Jedi and stealing one of the gang ' s speeder bikes . Despite this , Ohnaka ordered his men to stand down . Koon then attempted to find out the location of a group of Republic soldiers Sing had taken captive . He brought Fett to Ohnaka , who convinced him by telling him it was the honorable thing to do and that it was what his father would have done . Sing attempted to escape in " Slave I " but crashed due to Tano cutting of part of its port wing and causing various other damage . Ohnaka later rescued Sing from the wreckage . " Slave I " would also be repaired . Fett was then brought to Coruscant to face trial . Battle of Florrum . Later , Weequay bounty hunter Shahan Alama crash landed onto the planet in his " Flarestar " - class ship , after being shot down by a Republic gunship . Over the planet , a fleet consisting of a " Munificent " - class frigate and dozens of droid starfighters under the command of a Neimoidian captain , drawn out by Alama , mistaking him for a member of the Ohnaka Gang , battled Republic forces . Ohnaka , who saw Alama crash down , went to the bounty hunter . Alama said he was seeking aid , but Hondo revealed his intentions to sell him to the highest bidder . Maul ' s Machinations . Sith Lord Darth Maul and his newly - appointed apprentice Savage Opress bribed several lieutenants with the Ohnaka Gang into joining them with credits stolen from an InterGalactic Banking Clan space station , followed by an offensive against Ohnaka and the members of his gang that remained loyal to him at their new camp . The skirmish was joined by Obi - Wan and Jedi Master Adi Gallia , who had tracked the Sith from the Banking Clan space station . The Jedi engaged Maul and Opress in a lightsaber duel , Gallia was however defeated by Savage , who managed to beat her back into some rubble , followed by charging her with his horns , killing her . Obi - Wan retreated further into the camp with Hondo and the surviving pirates where they staged a trap to separate the Sith Lords from their pirate forces . Separated from their troops , Obi - Wan was able to sever Savage ' s arm and forced the brothers to retreat while their forces surrendered to Hondo . Hondo ordered his gang to recover the credits from the Siths ' freighter , shooting down the ship as it took off . Maul and Opress however , managed to escape .
