Biography . In 4000 BBY , C ' borp was the chief gunner on the " Marauder Starjacker " , a pirate vessel owned and operated by a man named Finhead Stonebone . Once while serving on the " Marauder Starjacker " , C ' borp took his position at the laser turrets to fire on an Ithullian ore hauler commanded by Captain Gruna , which contained ore that Stonebone wanted to siphon . The ore hauler was defended by Dreebo , an enforcer under the employ of Stonebone ' s rival , the crime lord Bogga the Hutt . Although Dreebo quickly moved to attack the " Marauder Starjacker " , every shot he fired missed ; taking the opportunity , C ' borp fired back at Dreebo , destroying the enforcer ' s starfighter . He then turned his attention to the ore hauler , destroying the rest of its defenses and allowing the rest of Stonebone ' s men to start siphoning the ore . After his attack on the ore hauler , C ' borp reported his success to Stonebone , who received him with praise . However , Stonebone ' s crew was surprised by the appearance of the " Enforcer One " , Bogga ' s flagship . Bogga ' s enforcers captured the " Marauder Starjacker " and took its crew , including C ' borp , prisoner . C ' borp and his pirate associates were brought to Bogga ' s estate on the Stenness system moon of Vo Dasha in chains . Although Stonebone ' s crew were at first threatened , they were offered a chance at exoneration by Bogga if they performed a task for him . The Hutt wanted the group to journey to the desolate planet of Ambria to retrieve a shipment of valuable Adegan crystal s that had eluded his grasp some time prior . Stonebone agreed on behalf of the team , and his associates , including C ' borp , went to Ambria alongside several of Bogga ' s top enforcers . Due to knowledge gained from a previous excursion to Ambria , Bogga and his crew knew that the Adegan crystals were being kept at the compound of Jedi Master Thon , Bogga ' s sworn enemy . Descending out of their skiffs , C ' borp and the crew were met by Thon , who did not attack as he was expected to , surprising the pirates . Instead , Thon allowed himself to be taken prisoner by the group . However , infighting soon surfaced between Bogga ' s enforcers and Stonebone ' s pirates , as the enforcers refused to share the profit from the crystals . The verbal sparring escalated into a brawl between the two sides , with C ' borp taking on Fnnbu , the enforcer who had discovered the crystals in the compound . Little did they know , their violent emotions were being influenced through the Force by Nomi Sunrider , a young Jedi trainee under the tutelage of Thon . While the two sides were distracted by the physical confrontation , Sunrider sprang into action , igniting her lightsaber and attacking them . C ' borp was helpless to stop Sunrider , and was slain . Sunrider was ultimately able to drive them off , and the surviving team members were forced to flee Ambria without the crystals . Personality and traits . C ' borp was willing to perform illegal activities , as he found work as the gunner on Stonebone ' s pirate vessel and assisted in illegal ore siphoning , taking pride in a job well done . He was also very competent at his job , and found his work met with praise by Stonebone . On Ambria , C ' borp was easily influenced by mental Force powers , being manipulated by Sunrider to behave violently . Behind the scenes .
