Qulok ' s Fist Qulok ' s Fist was a criminal gang active during the early years of the New Republic . Comprising four individuals — Thanis Gul - Rah , Kolig , Padak , and Sufar — Qulok ' s Fist engaged in various criminal activities , including slave trafficking , mercenary work , smuggling , and bounty - hunting . They used a modified YT - 1300 light freighter called " Steel Fist " as their headquarters , transportation , and main combat vessel , operating in the Outer Rim Territories , Minos Cluster , and Kathol sector . In 8 ABY , the group was contracted by Moff Kentor Sarne , warlord of the Kathol sector , to keep track of the New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " . As the " FarStar " was actively tracking Sarne after forcing him to flee from his capital , Sarne employed Qulok ' s Fist to provide him with information and , on one occasion in the Shintel system , attack the corvette directly . History . Working for Moff Sarne . Qulok ' s Fist was a group of criminals who operated throughout the Outer Rim Territories , the Minos Cluster , and the Kathol sector during the early years of the New Republic . The gang participated in several questionable endeavors , such as bounty - hunting , smuggling , slavery , and mercenary work . The team consisted of four members — former Imperial Army soldier Thanis Gul - Rah , pilot Kolig , armored bounty hunter Padak , and the murderer Sufar . The modified YT - 1300 light freighter " Steel Fist " , owned and operated by Kolig , was used as the group ' s transport and headquarters . Their symbol was a clenched fist with spikes on the knuckles , emblazoned with the Aurebesh symbol for Qek . When Sufar joined Qulok ' s Fist , he was on the run from Imperial bounty hunters who were tracking him after he had been exiled from his homeworld . The gang rescued him , then proceeded to assist Sufar in tracking down his assailants . Sufar then tortured the bounty hunters to death . Around 7 ABY , Qulok ' s Fist was engaged in a hunt on a backwater planet . The hunt took a turn for the worse , ending in a massacre at one of the world ' s settlements . Feeling guilty for his part in the slaughter , Thanis Gul - Rah left the group and retired to Kal ' Shebbol , the capital of the Kathol sector . The rest of Qulok ' s Fist continued their activities , and , in 8 ABY , they found a new benefactor in the shape of Moff Kentor Sarne , the Imperial warlord who ruled the Kathol sector in the wake of the fragmentation of the Empire . Following the liberation of Kal ' Shebbol in 8 ABY by New Republic forces , Sarne was forced to flee his capital . Learning that the New Republic had sent the CR90 corvette " FarStar " after him , Sarne contracted Qulok ' s Fist to tail the ship and gather intelligence on their movements and goals for him . Sarne also gave them license to sabotage the ship ' s efforts if the opportunity arose . Showdown at Shintel . Several weeks into the " FarStar " mission , Sarne contacted Qulok ' s Fist and contracted them to stage an assault on the corvette in orbit of the planet Shintel . Sarne had arranged for a deep cover agent on the planet Gandle Ott , Colonel Olaver Lansel , to feed false information to the " FarStar " crew that indicated that Sarne himself had traveled to Shintel . The " FarStar " journeyed to the Shintel system and discovered that it was home to an outpost affiliated with the Moff , although one he had abandoned by destroying all hyperspace - capable ships and stranding the base personnel . Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum , commanding officer of the " FarStar " , agreed to an alliance with the base commander , Colonel Heget . In return for navigational data and information , Adrimetrum would provide Heget with transport to the " Tanquilla Beach " shadowport so that he could contact Imperial authorities . However , one member of the base ' s personnel was another deep cover agent of Sarne ' s . Lieutenant Palme arranged for the navigational data to contain a trapdoor program when it was uploaded into the " FarStar " computer systems . As the corvette broke orbit and engaged its hyperdrive , the trapdoor program triggered an overload in the " FarStar " engines . The resulting explosion destroyed the hyperdrive , stranding the corvette . As planned , Qulok ' s Fist emerged from hyperspace in the " Steel Fist " , and conducted several attack runs on the ship . As the crew of the " FarStar " recovered from the initial sabotage and began to rally to the defense of the ship , Qulok ' s Fist broke off their attack and jumped to hyperspace . Organization . Qulok ' s Fist initially comprised four members : Thanis Gul - Rah , Kolig , Padak , and Sufar . This group was reduced to three when Gul - Rah left the group in 7 ABY , retiring to Kal ' Shebbol after a hunt on a backwater planet ended in a massacre of a local settlement . All four were experienced bounty hunters and possessed a myriad of other skills , including piloting , demolitions , computer slicing , poisoning , and unarmed combat techniques among them . Thanis Gul - Rah was a soldier with the Imperial Army before joining Qulok ' s Fist , and served in the occupation of Siluria III . After leaving Qulok ' s Fist , Gul - Rah signed onto the crew of the " FarStar " on Kal ' Shebbol when they put out a general call for civilians with combat or technical skills to augment the regular New Republic naval crew . He found himself in the position of facing his former comrades during the engagement in the Shintel system . Kolig was the owner and operator of the modified YT - 1300 light freighter " Steel Fist " , which served as the group ' s headquarters , transport , and main combat vessel . Dapper and presentable , Kolig was the unofficial leader of Qulok ' s Fist and often planned the operations they were contracted to perform . Padak was an armored bounty hunter who lived for the thrill of combat and relished every kill he made . Destructive and violent , he felt no remorse over the deaths he caused . Sufar was a murderer , exiled from his homeworld after killing several people . He was hunted by Imperial bounty hunters before joining Qulok ' s Fist , then used his membership in the organization to capture and torture his pursuers to death . Behind the scenes . Qulok ' s Fist appeared in " The DarkStryder Campaign " , a roleplaying game sourcebook published by West End Games . They were described in the Rogues Gallery of the book and were featured in the adventure " Shintel Downtime " . However , the organization and its members were given detailed backgrounds so that the Gamemaster could use them in original adventures if they wished .
