Buzzy Buzzy was a Human male who lived in Tropis - on - Varonat on the planet Varonat . He was employed by Gamgalon , a Krish crimelord who used Morodin - hunting expeditions as a front for growing and harvesting chemically altered aleudrupe berries . In 8 ABY , he and his companion , Fleck , greeted Syndic Pandis Hart of Sif - Uwana and his pilot , Captain Seoul , to Varonat . The pair — actually smugglers Talon Karrde and Quelev Tapper in disguise — claimed to need a hyperdrive mechanic to look at their starship , the " Uwana Buyer " . Fleck sent Buzzy to find their mechanic , a Human female named Celina Marniss , and told her that a rush job needed to be done . The next day , Buzzy accompanied the Krish Falmal on a Morodin - hunting safari of six hunters , including Karrde and Tapper . Biography . Buzzy , a Human male , lived in the settlement of Tropis - on - Varonat on the planet Varonat , located on the Ison Corridor in the Anoat sector of the Outer Rim Territories . In 7 ABY , a Krish named Gamgalon came to the planet and established a safari that hunted Morodins , a large herbivore that roamed the planet ' s jungles . Based out of Tropis - on - Varonat , the safari was a front for Gamgalon ' s true operation : the slime secreted by the Morodins as they moved around the jungle was a natural fertilizer that changed the chemical composition of aleudrupe berries . The pits of the fruit were then able to act as a catalyst , and when joined with rethan - K and promhassic triaxli , created ammunition for blasters as strong as spin - sealed Tibanna gas . All three substances were usually non - lethal and perfectly legal , and would withstand any customs inspection or chemical scan . Buzzy began working for Gamgalon , and in 8 ABY was present when the space yacht " Uwana Buyer " landed on Varonat . Alongside Fleck , who worked as a come - up flector for Gamgalon , Buzzy greeted Syndic Pandis Hart , chief purchasing agent of the Sif - Uwana Council , and his pilot , Captain Seoul . Hart and Seoul — who were , in reality , smugglers Talon Karrde and his lieutenant , Quelev Tapper — claimed to have hyperdrive engine troubles and were in need of a mechanic . Karrde and Tapper had heard about Gamgalon ' s safaris and suspected it was a front for a larger enterprise , and were investigating the possibility of acquiring a slice of the action for themselves . Fleck did most of the talking with the newcomers , and sent Buzzy off to find the settlement ' s mechanic , a Human woman named Celina Marniss , while he persuaded the disguised smugglers to sign up to the next safari expedition that was leaving the next day . Buzzy found Marniss — who was actually the former Emperor ' s Hand , Mara Jade — and informed her of the repair job that needed attending to , mentioning that he was impressed with Syndic Hart . The next morning , Buzzy was a member of the safari expedition alongside the Krish Falmal , Gamgalon ' s chief lieutenant , and the Rodian Jombo . In addition to Karrde and Tapper , the expedition consisted of four other hunters : the Thennqora , Tamish ; a Saffa named Cob - caree ; and a pair of Duros called Hav and Jivis . The group broke into three groups to travel to the safari base camp by airspeeder ; Buzzy accompanied Hav and Jivis in their vehicle . The group then hiked through the jungle for several hours to reach the hunting trails . While Falmal led the group , Buzzy stayed in the center while Jombo brought up the rear . After several hours , the party began setting up camp when they heard the distinctive growl of a Morodin nearby . At Falmal ' s order , the party broke into the same groups of three that had traveled together on the airspeeders , and Buzzy took Hav and Jivis into the jungle to hunt the Morodin . Although Falmal , accompanied by Karrde and Tapper , found the creature first , it was Tamish and Cob - caree who made the kill when Karrde hesitated in pulling the trigger . Shortly after , Karrde and Tapper disappeared from the camp and made a discovery that Gamgalon was keeping secret : the Morodins were actually a sentient species . Gamgalon confronted the pair of smugglers in person , alongside several other Krish including Falmal . Not wanting Karrde to cut into his operation , Gamgalon planned to kill the pair . The two smugglers attempted to escape ; Tapper was killed in the attempt , but Karrde was rescued by Celina Marniss , who killed Gamgalon and Falmal . The mechanic revealed her true name to Karrde , and the pair left the planet aboard the " Uwana Buyer " . Personality and traits . Buzzy was a laconic individual , preferring to let others speak . He was a competent Morodin hunter , and had experience handling blaster weapons . Behind the scenes .
