Azgoghk The Azgoghk was an Imperial dungeon ship created for the extermination of alien species in the farthest reaches of the galaxy , in accordance with Human High Culture . Part of a trio of extermination ships commissioned especially to serve rabidly Humanocentric Imperial Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta , it was commanded by Admiral Mir Tork , with chief scientist Leonis Murthé serving as second - in - command . Along with the " Angrix " and " Apocahk " , the " Azgoghk " and its considerable escort forces were deployed to the Outer Rim Territories , officially on an Imperial exploration mission , in truth to locate , enslave and eradicate non - Human civilizations . For several years the " Azgoghk " roamed the Rim , harvesting planets of their resources and populace ; however , the dungeon ship ' s escort force was called to fight at Endor in 4 ABY , and the vulnerable " Azgoghk " was disabled by Rebellion forces . Murthé and Tork escaped , and later returned to the site of the intact " Azgoghk " and resumed their mandate , even though Pitta was dead and the Empire was in disarray . One of the last species targeted by the ship , the Gulmarid s , hired bounty hunter Boba Fett to execute Murthé and Tork ; Fett engaged with the " Azgoghk " on Malicar 3 , disabling it and killing its two insane overseers . The ship remained dormant on Malicar 3 , its final batch of prisoners freed by Fett ; the bounty hunter returned the heads of Murthé and Tork to Gulmarid survivor Slique Brighteyes . Description . The death ship was commanded by Admiral Mir Tork and his sadistic science officer Leonis Murthé , and was one of three such ships , along with the " Apocahk " and " Angrix " , under the banner of Grand Admiral Danetta Pitta . History . " Exploration " . The " Azgoghk " , alongside its sister ships " Angrix " and " Apocahk " , came to prominence during the Galactic Civil War , at some point after 2 BBY . Danetta Pitta was appointed an Imperial Grand Admiral in that year ; a rabid , anti - alien bigot — who , ironically , was himself of near - Human descent — he was a staunch believer in Human High Culture . Pitta advocated the extermination of non - Human species , and to this end he was given control of the three dungeon ships . Officially they were used for exploration and expanding the Empire ' s borders in the Outer Rim Territories , but Pitta used them solely for genocide . Each ship worked separately , with a large escort force consisting of several Star Destroyers and other , smaller support craft . Once a planet ' s species was wiped out and its resources stripped bare , each ship would move on to another world ripe for exploitation . The " Azgoghk " was commanded by Mir Tork , a ruthlessly efficient , fanatically Humanocentric Imperial admiral . Second - in - command was chief scientist Leonis Murthé , another whose hatred for aliens was matched only by Tork and Pitta . The ship wiped out hundreds of species on its travels , while Murthé performed experiments on choice captives , prolonging their misery before eventually killing them . Hiatus . Several months prior to the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY , the Empire took the remote , primitive world of Gulma , and the " Azgoghk " was sent to the surface to vacuum up its inhabitants , the peaceful Gulmarid . A force of stormtroopers rounded up the population , informing them that they were to be taken offworld for their own safety . Inquisitive Gulmarid were brutally punished , and the naïve species acquiesced to the Imperial demands and boarded the ship . The ship was later abandoned by the imperials and was liberated by rebel fighters . Mir Tork and Leonis Murthe later returned to the ship with a force of slavers . Post - Endor . One survivor of the " Azgoghk ' s " cleansing was a Gulmarid named Slique Brighteyes , who hired Boba Fett in 11 ABY to kill Tork and Murthé in exchange for the Gulmarids ' combined wealth : 100 credits . Ostensibly to improve his damaged reputation ( following his defeat at the Great Pit of Carkoon ) , Fett accepted the job . On Malicar 3 , Fett single - handedly brought down the ship with an ion cannon . Fett then infiltrated the ship and killed Tork and Murthé . He also freed dozens of alien prisoners , who stripped weapons from Fett ' s trail of corpses and revolted against the remaining slavers . Fett returned to Brighteyes on Basteel with the severed heads of Tork and Murthé , having completed his assignment . The " Azgoghk ' s " reign of terror had finally ended . Fett . The Gulmarids , one the last species captured by the " Azgoghk " pre - Endor , were slowly dying out ; those who had escaped the " Azgoghk " were in terrible physical condition and many simply lost the will to live . The survivors , represented by Slique Brighteyes , were determined that Tork and Murthé would die before the last of the Gulmarids did . Pooling together their resources , which totaled a miserly one hundred credits , they decided to put out a bounty on Tork and Murthé . Prices had previously been put on the pair ' s heads , but bounty hunters had either died trying or refused to touch the contract , believing that the " Azgoghk " was impenetrable . Brighteyes , however , sought to hire Boba Fett ; once the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy , Fett ' s career was stuttering after a number of high profile failures , and Brighteyes hoped he would accept the mission to prove his abilities . Brighteyes outlined his proposition to Fett , but when the Gulmarid informed Fett of the reward , the bounty hunter almost killed him on the spot for wasting his time . However , after further consideration Fett accepted the offer , in a last ditch attempt to reignite his failing career . The " Azgoghk " mission was said to be one of the most bizarre bounties ever accepted by Fett , and in a galaxy rife with Fett impostors , some questioned whether it was even Fett who undertook it .
