Falmal was assigned to lead the expeditions . In 8 ABY , Falmal led an expedition that included Syndic Pandis Hart and Captain Seoul in the jungle . Falmal grew suspicious of the pair , and his suspicions were well founded . The two Humans were , in actuality , the smugglers Talon Karrde and Quelev Tapper who were looking to cut in on Gamgalon ' s operation . In the ensuing confrontation with Gamgalon and his Krish , Tapper was killed . In turn , Falmal and Gamgalon were killed by Celina Marniss , a hyperdrive mechanic that Karrde had employed in Tropis - on - Varonat . Biography . Falmal was a male Krish criminal and gun - runner who was part of the organization run by his fellow Krish , Gamgalon . it was a small - time operation always struggling to make a profit , and Falmal served as Gamgalon ' s lieutenant , often acting as a field supervisor and enforcer . Eventually , Gamgalon ended up dealing with Jabba the Hutt . The association drove the Krish organization into deep debt , and eventually the group became a part of Jabba ' s smuggling operation . Following Jabba ' s death at the hands of Luke Skywalker in 4 ABY , Gamgalon took his operation independent again . In 7 ABY , Gamgalon set up operations on the planet Varonat on the Ison Corridor . It was discovered that the slime trails of the native Morodins enacted a chemical change in the pips of aleudrupe berries , which , when combined with rethan - K and promhassic triaxli , created a blaster formulation as powerful as spin - sealed Tibanna gas . All three products were completely innocuous and legal , and would pass customs without inspection . Inside Varonat ' s Great Jungle , Gamgalon began operations planting Yagaran aleudrupe plant alongside the Morodin slime trails , and marking their locations with transpond marker s . To cover their activities in the jungle , Gamgalon established a safari to hunt the Morodins . Falmal was assigned to lead the expeditions , assisted by the Human , Buzzy and the Rodian , Jombo . In 8 ABY , Falmal led a safari expedition into the jungle consisting of two Duros , a Thennqora , a Saffa , and two Humans . Riding aboard Aratech Arrow - 17 airspeeder s , Falmal was accompanied by the two Humans — Syndic Pandis Hart and Captain Seoul of Sif - Uwana . Hart inquired as to the frequency of the hunts , and the liklihood of actually bagging a trophy . Falmal assured Hart that he would be successful in the hunt . Leaving the base camp , the expedition hiked through the jungle for several hours . During a rest break , Hart and Seoul showed interest in a planting of the Yagaran aleudrupe plant alongside a slime trail , arousing Falmal ' s suspicions . He covered the unusual sight of a non - native plant in the jungle by blaming it on previous hunters who had dropped aleudrupe berries during their visit . He quickly called an end to the break , and hiked for several more hours before setting up camp . Along with Buzzy ansd Jombo , he helped the inexperienced hunters to raise their tents . As the camp was erected , the distinctive growl of a Morodin was heard from the jungle . Falmal ordered the group to disperse into the three person teams that had been established on the airspeeder ride to camp , and each grouping headed into the jungle at different points . Falmal led Hart and Seoul , tracking slime trails and discovering that at least three Morodins were present in the immediate area . Falmal and the Humans came upon a single Morodin , and Falmal instructed Hart to shoot the creature . The Syndic hesitated , and two of the other hunters , Tamish the Thennquora and Cob - caree the Saffa , slew the target . Shortly after , Hart and Seoul disappeared from camp , and Falamal , suspecting them to be spies or saboteurs , contacted Gamgalon . Along with several other Krish , they found the pair observing a herd of Morodin . The two Humans revealed their true identities to be smugglers Talon Karrde and Quelev Tapper , and Gamgalon revealed the extent of his operation to them , including bribing the local governor to turn a blind eye to the Morodin hunts . Gamgalon decided to kill them , not wanting any word of his operation to leak out . Tapper attempted to escape , and was subsequently cut down by one of the Krish . Gamgalon ordered two Krish to take Karrde , and the group started to walk into the jungle . Suddenly , the group heard Morodin growls all around them ; Gamgalon ordered the Krish holding Karrde to spread out into the jungle , and directed Falmal to take hold of the smuggler . As they neared the Krish ' s airspeeders , Falmal was struck by a thrown knife that penetrated his side . As Gamgalon spun round to find the attacker , he was shot in the chest . Karrde had been rescued by Celina Marniss , a hyperdrive mechanic he had contracted to fix his ship in Trois - on - Varonat , and the pair escaped Varonat . Personality and traits . Falmal had red hair and light purple skin . One of Gamgalon ' s longest serving and most trusted lieutenants , Falmal always showed due deference to his boss , addressing him as " my leige . " Protective of Gamgalon ' s operations , he would do anything necessary to ensure its continuation . He was able to determine that Talon Karrde and Quelev Tapper were not entirely on the level during their safari , although he believed they had come to harm the operation rather than looking for a cut . Falmal was a keen hunter , and enjoyed the strategy involved in the sport . As a result , he was proficient in tracking and surviving in the jungle . He carried a blaster rifle , and a pack of survival gear . Behind the scenes .
