Hunting the Gorach . Parella Jiramma Baco was a Hutt crime lord with a masculine persona who was a member of the Jiramma kajidic during the reign of the New Republic . He owned a tower on the Hutt – controlled moon Nar Shaddaa , from where he oversaw a small business that he ran largely to maintain his personal power , and he also employed four Klatooinian mercenaries as bodyguards . Parella was a long time rival of Popara Anjiliac Diresto , the patriarch of the rival Anjiliac kajidic , and on occasion , Parella acted as a business partner of Popara . A keen hunter , Parella participated in a number of big game safaris . At some point , the Hutt set out to the planet Lowick , on a quest to hunt down a surviving member of the legendary Gorach species . The Gorach were said to be savage warriors that had subjugated dozens of worlds millennia earlier , and Parella suspected that sightings of a " swamp ape " on Lowick were that of a Gorach . He sought to kill the Gorach , then have its remains stuffed and subsequently put on display in his residence as a piece of art . Arriving on Lowick , Parella landed his starship in the world ' s swamps and logged his mission objectives with a holorecorder . He then donned a set of Ruusan copper battle armor , and after disembarking from the ship , he was greeted by Kashina Furt , a Pa ' lowick from a nearby settlement who had been dispatched to act as Parella ' s official guide . Parella explained to Furt the legend of the Gorach , and he then commenced the hunt . Parella sent out some droid drones to fire incendiary dart s into the surrounding swamps , believing that the carpet bombing would drive out the Gorach . He observed the various animals that ran from the flames , and as he had predicted , he sighted the Gorach fleeing among them . However , the Gorach realized that it was being hunted and it bolted to Parella ' s right , along the line of flames . Parella and Furt set off in pursuit , and as they tracked the Gorach , the being ambushed them and briefly engaged Parella in combat , then fled . During the bout , the Gorach drove a spear into Parella ' s armor , causing it to crack . After continuing on over a series of hills , Parella and Furt located the Gorach ' s lair , next to a cliff . There , Parella tossed his Pa ' lowick guide inside to test whether there were any traps inside the cavern . Before he could check to see Furt ' s fate , the Hutt was attacked by the Gorach once again , and the being drove Parella off of a cliff , into a mud pool below . After shedding his helmet to distract the Gorach , Parella stabbed the creature with the vibrobayonet affixed to his blaster and killed it . After he pulled himself out of the pool , Parcella dressed the body of the Gorach , dragged it back to his ship , and placed the corpse into a stasis chamber . As Parella was about to detail the outcome of the hunt with his holorecorder , he was interrupted by the arrival of Furt , who had discovered in the Gorach ' s cave that the creature had been a skilled artist , not a warrior . Parella returned to his ship , and after thinking about the artist and its fate , he decided not to detail the outcome of the quest with the holorecorder . The death of Popara . In 19 ABY , the Jedi archivist Mander Zuma and the spacers Reen Irana and Eddey Be ' ray rescued Popara ' s youngest son Mika from the quarantined world Endregaad , and a banquet was held in their honor in Popara ' s penthouse on Nar Shaddaa . Parella was invited to the party , and at the event , he sought to forge a permanent union between himself and Mika , for the benefit of both their clans . During the meal , Parella shared a table with Be ' ray and some Rodians , and he expressed a desire to test out Mander Zuma ' s Jedi lightsaber , because the Hutt had never wielded such a weapon before . Mika secretly sought to overthrow Popara , and during the meal , the elder Hutt was fed food laced with the toxins Lithium Magna and Lucogen , which caused Popara to explode . Popara ' s eldest son and heir , Zonnos , blamed the death of his father on Zuma and the two spacers , and Parella decided to endear himself to the new Anjiliac leader by vowing to help hunt down the purported assassins . Parella put on his set of Hutt battle armor and headed off to track down Be ' ray , Irana and Zuma . After being informed of their location by the Sullustan information broker Min Gost , Parella cornered the trio next to a bridge . As he emerged onto the structure , the Hutt shouted at the threesome and urged them to flee , so as not to make the hunt too easy for him . Zuma rose to the Hutt ' s challenge and attacked Parella , and he attempted to slice through the Hutt ' s stun baton . However , the Jedi was unable to do so because the baton was constructed from Mandalorian iron , a lightsaber - resistant material . Zuma subsequently jumped on Parella and tried to stab the Hutt in the eye , but the Jedi was electrocuted by the defensive systems fitted to Parella ' s armor . When Zuma charged at Parella once more , the Hutt attempted to parry Zuma ' s lightsaber with his baton , but the Jedi evaded Parella ' s strike and severed one of the bridge ' s support cables . The other support cables started to snap and Parella attempted to grab onto Zuma , but he failed and the bridge collapsed , which sent Parella tumbling off into a canyon that lay between the surrounding buildings . Personality and traits . Parella was a viperous and ill - tempered individual who was viewed by those around him to be nasty and unpleasant . Considered an oddity among the Hutts , Parella was athletic and had a passion for hunting , and he was as excessive a hunter as most other Hutts were excessively lazy . He took pleasure from stalking and killing his prey , and he preferred hunting whirlbat s on the adopted Hutt homeworld Nal Hutta rather than attending parties . Parella believed that easy kills were unworthy of his hunting efforts ; the longer that his quarry evaded him , the more tenacious he became , and he sometimes developed a genuine affection for his prey . He liked to regale other Hutts with stories of his hunting expeditions , and while most Hutts considered Parella ' s direct approach to combat to be distasteful , they accepted that his methods were effective , because Parella ' s rivals often ended up dead at his hands . When on hunting expeditions , Parella liked to be known by the sobriquet " Parella the Hunter . " While traveling , Parella journeyed alone and relied upon his own combat abilities to protect himself . He had few qualms about firing blasters into crowds or causing damage to buildings , and he believed in the superiority of Hutts over other sentient species . He also had little regard for the safety of those who served him , and during his expedition to hunt the Gorach he was happy to risk the life of his Pa ' lowick guide Kashina Furt . Despite being a business rival of Popara , Parella loved and respected the Anjiliac patriarch , due to Popara ' s honest nature . However , he also thought Popara to be old and weak , and felt that the elder Hutt should seek to discover the makers of the drug Tempest — a potent variety of spice that had became popular across Hutt Space — and to make a deal with them . Parella had brown - colored skin and orange eyes . Equipment . Parella was fascinated by weapons and he had access to a lot of technology . He was proficient in the use of both blasters and melee weapons , and he carried a variety of weapons aboard his starship , including pistols , carbines and blaster rifles . When hunting , he usually carried a force pike , and while pursuing Be ' ray , Irana , and Zuma , he wielded a stun baton constructed from Mandalorian iron . In addition , he often used tracking droids to help him to locate his prey . During his quest to hunt the Gorach , Parella wore a set of protective armor that was constructed from Ruusan copper , which included a heavy helmet that was fitted with a heads - up display system . However , he found the armor to be insufficient for his purposes during the expedition , because the Gorach was able to penetrate the helmet with a spear . He subsequently acquired a suit of ancient Hutt battle armor , a relic from generations past , and Parella claimed that it was the last such set of armor in existence . The armor significantly enhanced Parella ' s combat abilities , and it consisted of a woven undersuit and a series of ornate , overlapping durasteel plates that were connected to the undersuit to provide protection . Attached to the plates were a number of microrepulsors , which , in addition to some small wheel s that were fitted to the edge of the suit , allowed Parella to move with speed . The plates could also change color to blend into the surrounding environment . The armor was fitted with built - in hold - out blasters and a specially - designed E - Web heavy repeating blaster that was fitted to the right shoulder . An on - board computer controlled the armor ' s various electrical systems , which included a comlink , a datapad , a translation unit and a vocabulator . The armor also possessed a defensive capability whereby it electrocuted any of Parella ' s opponents that touched it . Behind the scenes . Parella was created by Jeff Grubb and Owen K . C . Stephens , and he first appeared in the Wizards of the Coast role - playing adventure " Tempest Feud " , which was published in 2002 . He later went on to feature in " Scourge " , a novelization of the events of " Tempest Feud " that was written by Grubb and released in 2012 , and Parella also appeared in the short story " Hunting the Gorach " , a prequel to the novel that was included in the magazine " Star Wars Insider 133 " . Grubb considers Parella to be his favorite out of all of the Hutt characters that appeared in " Scourge " , and he has also suggested that Parella would be victorious in a fight against Ziro the Hutt , a character from the film " " . " Tempest Feud " had no exact setting , and it was possible for the events of the adventure to take place during either the Rise of the Empire era , the Rebellion era , the New Republic era or the New Jedi Order era . However , " Scourge " established that the events of " Tempest Feud " took place in 19 ABY , thus making the New Republic era the canon ical setting in which Parella lived . Furthermore , in " Tempest Feud " there were a number of possible different outcomes related to Parella , which were dependent upon the actions of the player characters , who filled the role that was represented by Be ' ray , Irana and Zuma in the novel . However , " Scourge " established the canonical series of events and thus rendered some of the possible role - playing outcomes from " Tempest Feud " as non - canon . In " Tempest Feud " , it was possible for Parella to block the doorway to Popara ' s penthouse in the aftermath of the elder Hutt ' s demise , and for him to attack the player characters there . It was also possible for the player characters to subsequently travel to Parella ' s tower , and if they did so , he greeted them in his full battle armor and attacked them alongside his Klatooinian bodyguards . It was later possible in " Tempest Feud " for Parella to attack the players outside the Dark Melody tapcafe on Nar Shaddaa , and also for him to engage the players in combat for a second time later in the adventure , possibly by hiring the Rodians of the Bomu Clan to track the players down . A major plot point of " Tempest Feud " hinged on Mika ' s production of the spice Tempest , and if the players killed Mika early in the adventure , it was advised that Parella could then seize control of Mika ' s Tempest manufacturing plant on the world Varl and fulfill Mika ' s role for the rest if the adventure . In addition , the adventure suggested that Parella could be involved in future role - playing adventures , whereby he sought revenge against the player characters . In " Tempest Feud " , it was possible for Parella to be killed by the player characters and in " Scourge " , Parella was last seen plummeting into a deep chasm , but the novel did not clarify whether he survived the fall .
