Kateel of Kuhlvult Kateel of Kuhlvult , also known as " Neelah " , was a Human female from Kuat who worked as a dancer in Jabba ' s Palace . Biography . Neelah worked as a dancing girl under Jabba the Hutt . After his death , Neelah escaped from the Hutt ' s palace , earning herself a cut down her cheek from a Gamorrean guard . During her trek away from the place of her bondage , Neelah stumbled across two medical droids on their way to a secret base where Dengar was treating the half - digested form of Boba Fett , his armor and skin almost all consumed by the sarlacc ' s stomach acid . Knowing somehow that Boba Fett was connected to her past , she left him to recuperate , with strict orders that the droids not tell anyone that she had been there . Neelah knew nothing of her past due to a mind - wipe which was ordered by her sister , Kodir of Kuhlvult . Her only semblance of self that she retained was her mindset that she had not always been a slave to another being , but rather the other way around . Her haughty attitude made her believe that she had been born someone of higher stature . These thoughts she kept to herself during her enslavement . Though she watched other girls around her being cruelly mistreated by their bloated master , even occasionally used as rancor food , her own health was kept intact . She felt that this treatment came from a bounty hunter who seemed to watch over and had caught her gaze a number of times — Boba Fett . His gaze always made fear crawl through her , but for a separate reason than his infamous reputation . When Dengar took in Boba Fett and started nursing him back to health , Neelah demanded that she be included in his recuperation , with Dengar reluctantly agreeing . When Kuat of Kuat discovered that Fett was still alive , he sent bomb ers to strafe the surface of Tatooine , hoping to eliminate the bounty hunter once and for all . After the bombing , Fett knew that it was time to leave . Boba Fett took Dengar with him as a partner and also Neelah . She knew that she wasn ' t there beyond the fact that she had some part to play in Fett ' s mercenary schemes . During their flight in the " Slave I " to an undisclosed location , Neelah persuaded Dengar to tell her the history of what had previously been happening with Boba Fett and his recent dealings . These happened to coincide with her erased past . During her flight , Neelah hacked into Boba Fett ' s files and discovered a picture of an ancient symbol from Kuat . That symbol brought the memories of her past flooding back . She knew her true name ; Kateel of Kuhlvult , a member of the Kuat high lineage . She hid the fact that she knew who she was from both bounty hunters , unsure of what they would do if they found out . Their ship was eventually tracked down by Kateel ' s sister , Kodir of Kuhlvult , who took Kateel away from both Dengar and Boba Fett , and they put up no fight as Kateel left willingly . Kodir didn ' t realize that her sister knew who she was and the circumstances behind why her sister wanted her dead . When Kodir of Kuhlvult discovered that Kateel remembered everything from her past , she pulled out a blaster and was prepared to kill Kateel in order to silence her forever . Kateel , however , was far too quick . Kateel swiftly disarmed her sister , overwhelming Kodir ' s meager defense , and sent Kodir of Kuhlvult back to stand trial on Kuat . Kateel then reconnected with her heritage and , when Fett tracked her down , he threw out the idea to her that she could take control of Kuat Drive Yards because of the former leader ' s death . As the chairman of KDY in 8 ABY , she was forced to surrender Kuat and its shipyards to the New Republic during the Taking of Kuat .
