Halagad Ventor , however , used the Force to prevent both Crutag and the rebels from leaving the planet . Biography . After the resolution of the Taloron Pirate Confllict , Crutag , a Taloron Hunter and a veteran of the Taloron Pirate Conflict joined the Ragnar Syndicate , a member house of the Bounty Hunters ' Guild , basing his operations in the Merel sector . When fellow Ragnar hunter Noval Garaint framed Crutag for a crime Garaint had himself committed , the Taloron left Ragnar to hunt solo . Crutag cultivated a reputation as a formidable hunter , boasting that he had never failed to apprehend a target . In reality , he was only adequate for the job , but his reputation was one of single - minded determination and violent cruelty . He gathered a cadre of assistant hunters and acquired the Taloron Prey Chaser the " Scent of Fear " . Crutag ' s crew was diverse , and at one point included a Taloron lieutenant , but this individual died on a hunt . Although he publicly professed loyalty to only himself , Crutag believed that the Galactic Empire was the rightful government of the galaxy . At some point during the Galactic Civil War , Crutag learned of a bounty on a group of Rebel Alliance operatives : 10 , 000 credits dead , 20 , 000 alive . The Taloron encountered the Rebels at Kwenn Space Station and gave chase , but they escaped by stealing a ship . Knowing that they would soon need to resupply , Crutag surmised that the Rebels would flee to the nearby planet Trinta and traveled there with a crew of 20 minions in his ship , the " Scent of Fear " , to ambush the group . In the world ' s orbit , Crutag attempted to disable the Rebels ' ship , but he broke off pursuit when they entered the atmosphere and reached the level of the world ' s forests . As the Rebels crash landed , Crutag and his crew landed safely . Once on Trinta ' s marshy surface , Crutag sent his minions to search for the Alliance operatives . However , they encountered strange apparitions — unbeknownst to them , Force illusions created by the fallen Jedi Halagad Ventor . From these frightful encounters , Crutag lost several of his underling . When the " Scent of Fear " apparently disappeared — hidden by Ventor ' s use of the Force — Crutag set off with eight assistants to find the Rebels himself . Crutag did not realize that he had come to the attention of Ventor , who wanted to seduce and corrupt the Taloron so that Ventor could use the hunter ' s power and vitality for his own ends . Accordingly , Ventor arranged for Crutag to finally encounter the Rebels in what he hoped would be a fight that would lead to Crutag ' s triumph and another step toward his corruption to the dark side . Crutag finally caught up to the Rebels on one of Trinta ' s islands . He blamed his quarry for killing his crew and for stealing his ship , but he was puzzled about why the Rebels had not used the " Scent of Fear " to escape the world . Nevertheless , the Rebels managed to escape the Taloron Hunter .
