Nirama Nirama was an Oblee male who worked both as accountant for the criminal organization of Riboga the Hutt , and later as Riboga ' s personal majordomo . He achieved greater success as the crime lord who controlled all crime in the Cularin system , notorious for his opposition to slavery . Biography . Early career . Initially , Nirama had been one of Riboga the Hutt ' s accountants , but his ambition and skills promoted him majordomo . He used his position to make it seem that the operations in the Cularin system were much less profitable than Riboga had thought . Riboga questioned and executed some of his subordinates , but did not identify Nirama as the cause of the problem . In 53 BBY , during one of their regular sabacc games , Riboga had commented on the increasing expenses , and Nirama offered to take the problem off his hands , betting two hundred fifty thousand credits against control of Riboga ' s criminal organization . Nirama won and , because Riboga believed that Cularin was too expensive to operate in , he was not angry with the loss ; he left with a few loyal minions and his money . Cularin crime lord . Nirama was more efficient than Riboga and more popular with his underlings , maintaining something of a moral code . He immediately abolished the slave trade Riboga had engaged in . This affected the slavers that had previously worked for Riboga , but some of them , such as Hlisk Squin , managed to hide their previous activities . Nirama also reorganized the organization , placing less ambitious beings in the higher echelons of the organization — including Nadin Paal , who became a " trade envoy " or spokesman for the system . Len Markus was Nirama ' s unofficial right - hand man and representative to the smugglers . Nirama thought he was treacherous and manipulative , but also found him amusing and believed he could control Markus easily . Nirama also renewed agreements with the Smugglers ' Confederation and the Trade Federation , obtaining a good profit as a result . Nirama was known to occasionally use people from outside the organization . Smuggler Xav Verivax served Nirama as consultant , suggesting to Nirama ' s people creative ways to hide the contraband in their ships . Verivax did this mostly for the sake of fun , but Nirama nevertheless paid for his services . Around 33 BBY , Nirama bought technology from the Filordi to use against the pirates . Soon afterward , he made a deal with the Thaereian military , who was officially protecting the system , to provide them with the supplies the pirates had been stealing from them . Nirama knew that Colonel Jir Tramsig was asking for more pieces than he was losing , and the crime lord wondered why the officer asked " him " for assets that could be legally bought in many systems . Nirama also provided Tramsig with " highly questionable technical material . " Nirama , like Riboga before him , had no control over the Cularin system ' s pirates . He would sometimes hire them to do a job for him . He always tried to monitor them , and even worked with two pirate groups , Red Fury Brotherhood and Order of Independent Trade , who wanted to take advantage on the other pirates during amiable talks ; Nirama found their scheming amusing . Pirate predation was always a problem for the smugglers , and was one of the key ingredients in making it believable that Riboga was losing money . It had been said that Nirama had plots to kill key members of the Red Fury Brotherhood and the Order of Independent Trade , but their leadership changed so frequently , it probably would not have made a difference if he had . Both groups had their own thoughts about Nirama ' s position within the system , but no leader lasted long enough to initiate a solid plan against him . In many other senses , Nirama continued Riboga ' s policies . For instance , Riboga had refused to meet with representatives of Verga Mer Mining Company , as they initially overlooked him when they attempted to invert in Genarius ; Nirama was coherent with Riboga ' s acts , and also ignored any petition from Verga Mer . Nirama also kept the sponsorship on the starfighter races through the tunnels of Eskaron — and also gambled on the results — even though Nirama did not own that moon . Although the droid factories of Uffel were built with Riboga ' s financial help , Uffel manager QS - 2D had finished all the payments to the Hutt and was , by 53 BBY , the sole owner of the moon . Nirama distrusted droids that could include espionage programming and refused to use Uffel droids . Nirama ' s headquarters on Cularin was in the platform city of Mikish , particularly in the mansion Riboga had built there . Nirama kept 50 % of the local police as his " private retainer . " Nirama also used Riboga ' s old base in the Cularin system asteroid belt to meet with the smugglers living there . Although Nirama inherited from Riboga both his public asteroid base and his " secret " asteroid base , it was unclear whether Nirama used both of the bases . Nirama ' s smugglers preferred to meet him in Cularin , where he could not take their ships as easily , nor could he use proxies to meeting them . Prior to the Stark Hyperspace War , Nirama lent money to a pair of smuggler siblings , Kal and Dova Brigger , for them to perform upgrades on their " YT - 1300 " - class light freighter , " Jackpot " , which would become known by the name " Millennium Falcon " . As part of the deal , the Briggers had to agree to not engage in business with slavers . A standard year later , the Briggers reneged on their deal , so Nirama had a price put on their heads . Dova was caught , brought before Nirama , and was executed . Kal died elsewhere before the bounty could be claimed . Nirama repeatedly tried to recruit Corellian starship mechanic Bran Isken , who had been working in the Forard spaceport of Almas , but Isken was satisfied with his current job for governor Klis Joo and rejected Nirama ' s offer . Circa 31 BBY , Nirama ' s pilot , Arraxx , was killed during a race through the moon of Eskaron . Arraxx came across a private race between Blood Raptors member Gael Kinner and intimidated entrepreneur Teeloo . To avoid collision , Kinner shot Arraxx ' s ship and destroyed it , making Nirama lose money , assets and his temper in front of people he respected . Upset , Nirama ordered Markus to bring both Kinner and Teelo ' s ships and crew , undamaged . Markus kidnapped them at Tolea Biqua and took them to Nirama ' s mansion in Mikish . Markus notified Nirama that he had brought the offenders . Nirama looked at them and asked who had killed Arraxx . Kinner and his Raptor allies blamed Teeloo , but Nirama knew better , ordered silence and questioned each group separately . He understood who was really responsible and ordered to kill the Raptors . He had one thrown into the rancor cage in Bollin Exotic Animal Emporium . However , Nirama deemed Teeloo and his crew as partially responsible , as their participation in the race led to the incident . Graciously , he decreed that each of them owed him one favor that would be asked in due time . Teeloo , who was asked to remain a little longer , would immediately begin working for Nirama ; he would also pay for Teeloo ' s ship ' s repairs . Nirama ' s decision to abolish the slave trade was not popular with all the members of his organization . In 31 BBY , a conspiracy within the organization calling themselves the Cell came together with the purpose of deposing Nirama . They were able to hide their initial movements beneath the buildup of a large Metatheran Cartel presence in the system , but Nirama soon became aware of their existence . The Cell managed to kidnap Nirama ' s pet rancor , Bender , whose mere existence was a well - kept secret . Unsure about whom he could trust — although he was sure he could trust Len Markus and Jobril , his master of properties in Cularin — Nirama used external help to get more information about The Cell . He hired some locals of Cularin to work undercover as security agents in the Red Sector . They discovered that the Cell was more powerful than Nirama had imagined , with hundreds of members , but they could not provide names . However , they returned his rancor , relatively unharmed . One month later , among increasing street - speak about The Cell , Nirama ' s team raided a Cell base in the asteroid station , in the Cularin system asteroid belt , named Darkside and found a datapad about " membership information " including the name of his former agents . Nirama sent Jobril to recruit them again and to work in Darkside . The independent agents found some less - than - threatening Cell members and sent them to Nirama . Nirama personally questioned them , uncovering important information . Less than one month later , Nirama was rumored to be gathering those employees who were loyal to him , which included Markus and people from his main weapon storage facility of Rothe Gate : Cyria Dombasle , Maarten Haal , Gal O ' Wei and Plu Markeela . At the same time , he got rid of his protocol droid N3 - A2 . He was also notified of the disappearance of his loyal employee Jobril , who had a cybernetic loyalty chip ; as such , Nirama believed that Jobril had been killed . However , a faction of The Cell under the control of his lieutenant , Ari Melast , was scheming against him . They reprogrammed N3 - A2 and deceived Jobril so that both would work for The Cell while believing to be carrying on Nirama ' s orders . Jobril and the droid hired a team of independent agents that had already worked for Nirama , and took them to Rothe Gate , where they would discover false proofs against Nirama ' s trusted agents there . Nirama discovered that Jobril had been seen in Rothe Gate and , apparently worried about his well - being , he took Markus and blazed to Rothe Gate to find some answers , under the cover of a surprise inspection . Once there , he noticed the independent agents he had previously employed and met with them . The Cell decided to speed up its scheme and take the chance to assassinate Nirama : Using Cell members for Nirama ' s security contingent , they staged their coup . The attack was unsuccessful thanks to the independent agents , who risked their own lives to save the crimelord while his reinforcements arrived . Nirama then discovered that Melast was behind the rebellion and ordered Markus to capture her . In 31 BBY , one of Nirama ' s main lieutenants , Len Markus , disappeared when trying to leave the system with a Sith artifact and , in the process , caused the system to disappear from the galaxy for almost a decade . Nirama reacted to the void of power by promoting Nadin Paal as his second - in - command . Although Nirama had a deal with the Thaereian military to supply parts that the pirates stole from them , he ultimately opposed Thaere and the Confederacy of Independent Systems . He also helped support his people , the Oblee , when they returned to the Cularin system . Before their return , Nirama had let people believe that he had come from the Unknown Regions . It had been rumored , due to his anti - slavery stance , that his people had been enslaved when he had been a child . Circa 20 BBY , the slaver Phylus Mon went to the Cularin system as a part of a scheme . When word of this tried to reach Nirama , he was in a secret meeting and could not be reached . As soon as he discovered that Phylus Mon was in the system , Nirama offered a reward for him , alive or dead . Personality and traits . Nirama was an alien from a species nobody in Cularin remembered to have seen , although the species had lived in the system . He had two sets of eyes , one over the other , with the bottom set being pitch black and the top set grayish - blue . He had an additional left arm , facing his back , and he usually held a blaster in that hand to discourage an attack from behind . He also used a blast vest that he kept near him , and expensive clothing . Although perceived as vile and disgusting , Nirama was not horribly evil . While he avoided unnecessary shows of power , he was not beyond killing people who remained in his way after being asked to move . Nirama valued talent and loyalty , and took pains to help those people who had proved their value to him in the past . Nirama had a reputation that he refused to outright lie , although he was willing to lie by omission or by not correcting other people ' s misconceptions . Despite this , he could be ruthless when he needed to be , such as when executing rebellious lieutenants . Less ostentatious than other crime lords or people of his wealth , Nirama did not flatter his wealth in opulent rooms , even though he kept some nice chambers for himself with elegant furniture . He kept a personal space yacht , the " Viper Wing " , flaunting his wealth . Nirama commonly signed his datapad messages with a stylized " N , " apparently in the High Galactic alphabet . Behind the scenes . Nirama was described as pink - skinned in " Price of Business " and " TopWorld " . This was before his people returned and it was established that young members of his race were pink while mature adults were chalky white . Nirama was certainly a mature adult Oblee . The role - playing game adventure " UnderWorld " features two possible endings : If the player characters side with Nirama , then he defeats a squad of Cell members and remains the crimelord of the system . However , if the player characters choose to not help him , the Cell captures , deposes and eventually executes Nirama , replacing his rule and thanking the characters . The official RPGA teams were suppossed to include this information in a " Critical Event Summary " that would be sent to the RPGA office , and the most common answer would be canon . Although the survey answers are not known , further sources still mention Nirama as the crimelord of Cularin , and thus implicitly reveal the results .
