After entertaining the Grand Hutt Council at Gardulla the Hutt ' s Palace on Nal Hutta with a lavish musical number , she discovered that Ziro was incarcerated in the palace ' s dungeon following his escape from Coruscant ' s detention center . Manipulating Gardulla ' s Gamorrean guards into fighting each other , the Pa ' lowick slipped her way past and to her estranged lover ' s cell .

There , under the protection on Nizuc Bek , Snootles worked as a double agent , feeding majordomo Bib Fortuna ' s lies to Jabba ' s enemies . In 0 BBY , Snootles , Rebo , and McCool were performing when Trandoshan bounty Bossk arrived at Jabba ' s Palace looking for 261 , a rogue Imperial astromech droid .
