Even in the galactic Underworld , Skavak usually betrayed his associates if he thought it was more convenient for him . In c . 3643 BBY , Jet Nebula sold information to him about the fastbreeder . Skavak ’ s sole loyalty was to himself , and he would take jobs from anyone if it would line his pockets with a few more credits . Brash , arrogant and utterly without remorse , Skavak was long overdue for a takedown . Skavak ' s long overdue downfall came during the hunt for the lost treasure of Nok Drayen . While on Ord Mantell , he and Corso Riggs worked for a boss named Viidu when they were battling the Separatists . He immediately betrayed Corso and stole a ship from a smuggler and tried to use it as his base for the search . However , the smuggler tracked Skavak down to Coruscant , where Skavak sold Imperial agents a counterfeit gem and took the ship back , but Skavak had already sold all the guns meant for Rogun the Butcher . In the process , the smuggler won over Skavak ' s partner Risha Drayen and disgraced Skavak in the eyes of the galaxy . Skavak was furious that the smuggler got the better of him , and swore to kill his new nemesis . Skavak hired mercenaries to pursue the smuggler on Taris , who was seeking a radiation vault containing astrogation charts necessary to finding the treasure . The mercenaries got there first and contacted Skavak when confronted by the smuggler . Skavak ordered his men to attack but they were all killed by the smuggler , who departed the planet with the charts . Skavak was later contacted by an ex - flame , Feylara Raed , whom he financially exploited in the past , having heard of the smuggler ' s embellishing against him and lured his nemesis to her ship , the " Celestial Crow " , so she could kill them on her behalf . Feylara activated her droids to attack the smuggler but they were swiftly destroyed . Feylara nervously pleaded for them to part way . Skavak then signed off upon confirming that she was using finite batteries to power her ray shield . On Alderaan , Skavak personally interfered with his nemesis ' attempts to trade the head of Darth Bandon for an Arkanian hyperdrive for House Alde , coercing a museum assistant , Neva , into falsifying the authentication of the fake head he provided . When the smuggler presented the authentic head , Peema Ahuff contacted Skavak , who gloated about his victory . The smuggler raced to the House Organa spaceport but Skavak ' s ship had already lifted off and headed for the House Thul spaceport to install the hyperdrive . The con artist watched via hologram for his Alderaanian contract mercenaries to kill the smuggler but they too failed . With Risha ' s aid in blackmailing a baron , the smuggler managed to infiltrate the Thul spaceport . The smuggler then reclaimed the hyperdrive and freed Vonddado Briimyo , the Neimoidian mechanic Skavak had under duress . Skavak later called Risha and the smuggler on their ship , promising vengeance , despite being at a disadvantage . Eventually , Skavak stowed away on the smuggler ' s ship during the final part of the search , and confronted his rival after the treasure was found .
