Sugi ( bounty hunter ) / Legends Sugi was a female Zabrak who worked as a bounty hunter and mercenary during the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars . A native of the planet Iridonia in the galaxy ' s Mid Rim , Sugi owned the starship " Halo " , and had grown strong through years of hunting bounties ; her equally strong sense of honor and duty guided her choices in her sometimes morally murky profession . One such contract she accepted was in defense of a Felucian nysillin farming village , plagued by the Weequay pirates of the Ohnaka Gang . Together with a crew of fellow blasters - for - hire that included the likes of the Frenk Rumi Paramita , the Kyuzo named Embo , and the heavily armored Seripas , Sugi traveled to Felucia where she and the others found themselves joining forces with a trio of Jedi including Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Skywalker ' s Padawan , Ahsoka Tano , in defense of the village . With the help of the Jedi , Sugi and her crew fought off the pirates and their leader , Captain Hondo Ohnaka , though Paramita fell and Embo was wounded during the battle . Once the pirates were gone , Sugi and her remaining allies received their payment and offered the previously stranded Jedi a ride off of Felucia and back to Galactic Republic space aboard her ship . Biography . Early life and career . Sugi was a female Zabrak , born on the planet Iridonia , a world located in the galaxy ' s Mid Rim . When she grew older , Sugi decided to become a bounty hunter and work as a mercenary . Years of hunting bounties made her strong , and at some point Sugi acquired an SS - 54 assault ship known as " Halo " , which she utilized as her personal transport during her career . By the start of the galaxy - spanning conflict known as the Clone Wars , fought between the forces of the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems , the Republic had issued a significant credit bounty on Sugi totaling 25 , 000 for supposed crimes she had committed against the galactic government . Felucian protector . In 22 BBY , Sugi was hired by a group of nysillin farmers on the Outer Rim world of Felucia : the farmers had become the victims of at the hands of a gang of Weequay pirates , and Sugi was contracted to put an end to the pirates ' illegal actions . Together with a group of other bounty hunters and mercenaries — among them , the Kyuzo named Embo , the Frenk known as Rumi Paramita , and the heavily armored Seripas — Sugi journeyed to Felucia . There , Sugi and the others negotiated a fee the farmers found to be generous in comparison to the pirates ' demands . However , before Sugi and her team could confront the pirates , the farmer ' s village home of Akira was found by a trio of Jedi who had become stranded on the planet after their shuttle crashed . Jedi Master Obi - Wan Kenobi , Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker , and Skywalker ' s Padawan , Ahsoka Tano , accused Sugi and her mercenary crew of attempting to extort the impoverished village , but the village leader , Casiss , instead requested the Jedi ' s aid in defending his people ' s homes . Sugi was quick to remind Casiss that he had already contracted her and the other mercenaries to do the job , wishing to ensure that she and her crew were paid for the job they had come to complete , but Obi - Wan Kenobi admitted that the Jedi would be unable to help , anyway . When the pirates later rode into Akira atop speeder bikes , Sugi took it upon herself to speak on behalf of the village , demanding that the pirates either purchase the nysillin they were after , or leave the village in peace . The pirates ' leader , Captain Hondo Ohnaka , however , dismissed the bounty hunter ' s words and offered to pay the mercenaries off with a higher sum should they merely step aside and let his gang continue their extortion of the farmers . Sugi would hear nothing of it , and refused to break the deal she and the others had previously brokered with the Felucian farmers ; Ohnaka made a final threat to the farmers before he and his gang left . With that , the Jedi decided to educate the farmers in combat training , while Sugi oversaw the nysillin harvest . After ordering the farmers to store the nysillin in their large barn where her ship , was also being kept for safekeeping , Kenobi questioned Sugi ' s motives and compared her to the pirates she now stood against . Undaunted , she explained that she was not as profit - driven as Kenobi believed , and cared for the safety of the villagers . She later spotted one of the Weequay pirates scouting the village for Ohnaka , and ordered Embo to neutralize him , which the Kyuzo mercenary accomplished by breaking the pirate ' s neck . Soon after , the pirates attacked and , together with the Jedi , Sugi and her mercenary crew battled against them . When Embo was injured by a blast from Ohnaka ' s tank , Sugi ran to his aid and escorted him to the safety of the barn . Rumi Paramita would also fall victim to a blast from the tank ' s laser cannon , although she was killed by the attack . Moments later , Sugi shot and killed two pirates in revenge for her ally ' s death . The battle with the pirates came to an end when Skywalker personally engaged Ohnaka , defeating the pirate captain and forcing him to retreat . Free of their harassers , the Felucian villagers praised and thanked Sugi and the others , and paid them for their services . With the job finished , Sugi offered the previously stranded Jedi a ride aboard her starship back to Republic space , to which the Jedi accepted . A year later , during the Trade Federation ' s Blockade of Pantora , Sugi and Embo spent time on the desert world of Tatooine , at the palace of Jabba Desilijic Tiure . Rescue mission to Wasskah . Later in the war , Sugi was hired by a squad of Wookiees to help rescue Chewbacca , Ahsoka , Jinx and O - Mer from a group of Trandoshan hunters on the moon of Wasskah . She piloted the Halo alongside Seripas , while the Wookiees fought the Trandoshans . They were successful in their rescue of Chewbacca and the Padawans , and Sugi later flew them back to Coruscant . She was later seen with Seripas at Mos Eisley Cantina . Bodyguard duty . Sugi was at some point later hired by the Hutt Grand Council as a bodyguard along with Dengar , Embo , Latts Razzi and others . She was present when Maul attempted to threaten the Council with death unless they served him . In response the Hutts ordered her and her fellow bounty hunters to kill Maul . Sugi ' s knife throw proved futile to Force users as Savage halted it and the knife went hurling back to the feet of Embo ' s Anooba , Marrok . Pre Vizsla used his flame thrower to push them all back while they retreated . When Mandalorian reinforcements arrived , Sugi and Embo ambushed the trio . Sugi knocked down Maul and kicked back Vizsla . Maul recovered quickly and tried to cut her down while she was on the floor . Embo ' s Anooba , Marrok saved her when he attacked the Sith Lord and fought him . When she reengaged him , she was quickly beaten by the Sith Lord . Latts Razzi and Dengar then threw smoke grenades to cover their escape , Maul decided to let them go as they are only bounty hunters and had no affiliation with anyone . Personality and traits . A strong , reliable woman , Sugi honed her strength and skills over years of bounty hunting and mercenary work . An able tactician and a proficient marksman , she was confident in her abilities but knew better than to turn down an offer of assistance when faced with a difficult job . Though her services came at a price , Sugi was not one to favor profits over people , even offering a lesser fee to impoverished farmers on Felucia to deal with the pirates harassing them . The female Zabrak mercenary possessed a strong sense of honor and duty , unwilling to alter her loyalties once she had accepted a contract , even when offered a larger payout by an opposing third party . Sugi believed in defending her clients even when presented with a significant risk to her own life , willing to die in order to protect her charge . Though loyal to her employers and comrades , Sugi was suspicious of Jedi , and resented the Republic ' s guardians for claiming to be peacekeepers while acting as generals in the Grand Army of the Republic . Despite this , Sugi offered the Jedi trio of Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Ahsoka Tano passage on her ship , " Halo " , back to Republic space after the three assisted Sugi and her mercenary team in defending a Felucian village from pirates . Sugi showed compassion for her fellow mercenaries as well , lamenting the loss of Paramita and rushing to Embo ' s side when he was wounded . Despite this , she showed no mercy for her enemies . As a Zabrak , Sugi possessed a ring of vestigial horns around the crown of her head , and hair of a deep purple color . She preferred to wear her hair up , tied in a T - shaped top knot to keep it out of the way . Like many other Zabraks who hailed from Iridonia , Sugi donned an intricate pattern of facial tattoos . Equipment . An experienced bounty hunter , Sugi could utilize both a blaster and vibroblade in combat . Her preferred weapon of choice , however , was an EE - 3 carbine rifle , a weapon later made famous by the renowned Mandalorian bounty hunter , Boba Fett . Sugi wielded the carbine blaster rifle with a single hand in a similar fashion to a blaster pistol , and occasionally did so with a tilted grip . When not using her EE - 3 , the female Zabrak kept the weapon slung across her back . Sugi ' s utility belt was adorned with several pouches , and she wore armored gauntlet s of a metallic gray color on both forearms over fingerless gloves . For transportation , Sugi made use of her personally - owned starship , an SS - 54 light freighter built by Botajef Shipyards known as " Halo " . Behind the scenes . Sugi first appeared in " Star Wars " canon in the seventeenth episode of ' , entitled " Bounty Hunters " . She was voiced by actor Anna Graves , who had also voiced Rumi Paramita in the same episode , in addition to having previously provided the voice of Duchess Satine Kryze . Graves ' portrayal of Sugi included a quite noticeable or accent .
