Four thin horns sprouted from the tops of their heads and their pointed snouts were filled with rows of serrated teeth . Like the Hutts , the Yahk - Tosh were also immune to Force mind tricks . As well as their homeworld the species controlled the planet Far Pando also in Hutt Space , but pledged their loyalty to the Hutt Grand Council . One Yahk - Tosh Lord named Gar - Oth subjugated Princess Lourdes ' homeworld , until he was killed by the Princess with the help of Jedi Knight Yoshi Raph - Elan . Biology and appearance . The Yahk - Tosh were a slug like sentient species similar in appearance to the Hutt species which they were believed to be distantly related to . Like the Hutts they had green hides , a single foot upon which they moved about as well as a similar facial structure consisting of two eyes and a mouth containing a tongue , unlike the Hutts though they had six arms each ending in three digits , which they used to move about , scaly skin , teeth within their mouth and four horns growing from the top of their heads . The species had red colored blood , but also produced slime and at least one member had yellow colored eyes . Also like Hutts members of the species were able to resist mind tricks by Force - sensitive beings and had some telepathic abilities of their own which were strong enough to control some droids . The species were also surprisingly fast for their large size and also reasonably strong . History . The Yahk - Tosh lived on the planet Xolu within the region of the galaxy that became known as Hutt Space , which was controlled by the Hutt species and lead by their Hutt Grand Council , which the Yahk - Tosh pledged loyalty to . The region was first explored between 15 , 000 BBY and 8000 BBY and Hutt space had expanded to include Xolu by the time of the Great Sith War between 4000 BBY and 3996 BBY . Within Hutt space they also controlled the planet Far Pando which was a pleasant agrarian world . Both Xolu and Far Pando were on the Pando Spur hyperlane which connected them to Hollastin and Near Pando , two other worlds within Hutt Space . One Yahk - Tosh warlord named Gar - Oth had come to control an empire by 31 BBY but in that year he was killed after successfully invading a small planetoid with a droid army and attempting to marry it ' s ruler , Princess Lourdes , who stabbed him with the aid of a Jedi named Yoshi Raph - Elan . Xolu and the Yahk - Tosh were still considered part of Hutt space by 137 ABY . Yahk - Tosh in the galaxy . One Yahk - Tosh , named Gar - Oth , became a crime lord and controlled a small empire , which he ruled using an army of droids . Gar - Oth and his army invaded a small planetoid in a star system near to his empire , meaning to expand the empire , and when the local population resisted the droids killed many of them including the planetoid ' s king . Once his forces had control of the planetoid Gar - Oth decreed a number of laws which his GX1 - series battle droid enforced on the local population . This included a curfew , which if citizens broke they would be punished with death , which the battle droids designated punishment code number 62719 . Attempting to rescue a citizen from such punishment violated another decree Gar - Oth had made named decree code number 352719 which was also punishable by death . Gar - Oth however craved legitimacy in his control of the planetoid and so arranged to marry the daughter of the deceased king , Princess Lourdes . His droids continued to kill civilians until the princess agreed to his proposal . Whilst preparations for the marriage were made Lourdes was kept guarded by battle droids in a castle , which the Yahk - Tosh also had probe droids monitor . Whilst Lourdes was held captive in the tower Gar - Oth grew rapidly angrier with the delay and when mystics he employed envisioned a Foreseen who would attempt to stop the marriage he moved the date forward to that of his engagement ball . Upon arriving at the ball with a pair of Jilruan servants and his wedding gift to Lourdes ' , a droid named Goliath , he informed the princess that to avoid the Foreseen they would be married immediately . To ensure her acceptance he sent battle droids to a number of villages which were prepared to killed the inhabitants should Lourdes refuse . After Gar - Oth ' s insistence on marrying on the spot however , Lourdes servant declared that he was in fact her husband . In reality the Human was a Jedi Knight named Yoshi Raph - Elan , whose starfighter had been shot down above the planetoid by droid starfighters belonging to the Yahk - Tosh . Enraged , Gar - Oth attacked Yoshi with his bare hands attempting to kill him as combat to the death between wedding suitors was legal by the planetoids royal law . Gar - Oth ' s droids were able to help him but none of his living servants as the law stated no living being could interfere . When the Jedi attempted unsuccessfully to use a mind trick on him , Gar - Oth realized that he was Force - sensitive and became even angrier , summoning Goliath , which he controlled telepathically , to kill Yoshi and Lourdes . Yoshi attacked the droid whilst Lourdes attacked her fiancé with a sword stolen from one of the Jilruans . Gar - Oth however overpowered Lourdes and began throttling her at which point a Jilruan offered to finish her off with his dagger but was stopped by a servant of Lourdes named Skeeter . Much to Gar - Oth ' s surprise Lourdes stabbed him with a second sword she had hidden beneath her robes and killed him , shortly after which Yoshi destroyed Goliath who toppled and crushed most of Gar - Oths attendants and droids . After the Yahk - Tosh ' s death Lourdes people reclaimed the planetoid from Gar - Oth ' s forces and Yoshi returned to the Jedi Order . Behind the scenes . The Yahk - Tosh first appeared in 2001 in the comic book " " which was a stand alone story within the " " series of comics produced by Dark Horse Comics . Written by Douglas Wheatley the comic featured Gar - Oth as it ' s antagonist but did not ever directly identify his species , although it indicated that he was speaking a language called the Yahk - Tosh . The species was first officially named as part of an entry on Princess Lourdes in De Agostini ' s 128th issue of the " The Official Star Wars Fact File " which was written by Andrew Darling , Matthew Harvey , Liz Holliday and Iain Lowson in 2004 . The species and Gar - Oth himself then both received an entry in the " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " written by Pablo Hidalgo and Steve Sansweet in 2008 which established their possible relation to the Hutts . Their homeworld and control of Far Pando were both included in " The Essential Atlas " which was written by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry in 2009 and published by Del Rey . Wallace also mentioned Gar - Oth in two blog posts he made concerning the Atlas where he identified the Yahk - Tosh ' s attendants as Jilruans , as it hadn ' t been directly stated in the atlas .
