Bettle Bettle was a Human female smuggler and teammate of Jaxa . The two became notable in smuggling circles , and their exploits were regularly featured in Cynabar ' s InfoNet . Bettle assisted the resistance on Ralltiir and was present when the New Republic liberated the planet from Imperial control . Later , she became a member of Talon Karrde ' s Smugglers ' Alliance . Biography . The Human female Bettle was one of two daughters of the Ralltiir resistance leader Jerell ; the other was dead by the time of the liberation of Ralltiir , a death her father blamed on Imperial governor Dennix Graeber . She later became a smuggler and the partner of Jaxa . By 0 BBY , the pair and their ship , the " Mallixer " , had become famous enough to be tracked by Cynabar ' s InfoNet , an elite smuggling NewsNet . When the Empire cracked down on Ralltiir , Bettle and Jaxa were one of many groups of smugglers who attempted to run the blockade with supplies for the cut - off world . However , that venture was fruitless , and the pair began marketing slugthrowers to various warring species located beyond the Corporate Sector . This project was more successful , and the pair brought back a full cargo of canta salt and havao tabacc , though the " Mallixer " was damaged in the process . Bettle could not escape her heritage , though , and her father convinced her to assist in the Rebellion , joking that it paid her better than her smuggling did . She began by running guns to Ralltiir with Jaxa , despite Jaxa ' s unhappiness with the riskiness of the venture and with the near - snagging of the " Mallixer " by Imperial forces . This disagreement strained their relationship , though they soon worked out their disagreements and were again operating as a team to make the " Spirva Run , " smuggling items from Galladinium ' s Datalog to rioters in the Spirva sector . During their career , the pair visited at least thirty - four shadowports around the galaxy . Eventually , Bettle became more directly involved with the Rebellion . Following the Battle of Endor , she was present with her father in an underground communications center on Ralltiir . While she was monitoring communications from a strike team led by Spike , Governor Graeber initiated communication with Jerell , taunting him with the fact that the New Republic had not yet taken a single Core World . In the midst of that communication , Spike ' s team destroyed the planet ' s power generators ; at the same time , a task force of six Mon Calamari Star Cruiser s entered the system , ensuring that Ralltiir would be the first Core World to fall to the New Republic . Following this victory , Bettle returned to smuggling with her old compatriot . During the Thrawn campaign , Talon Karrde formed an organization known as the Smugglers ' Alliance , and Bettle and Jaxa eventually joined . When the New Republic declared the Moruth Doole regime of Kessel to be illegitimate , the Smugglers ' Alliance was cleared to occupy the world ; Bettle and Jaxa were responsible for developing preliminary distribution plans for the glitterstim spice market . Personality and traits . Bettle was in many ways rough around the edges . She frequently cursed , and was not above giving a malicious grin or a wicked laugh when her enemies faced setbacks . Though a smuggler , her eyes were not always on the bottom line , especially when her homeworld was involved ; her willingness to run weapons through the blockade strained her long association with her partner , and eventually her father convinced her to become more involved in active rebellion . Behind the scenes . Bettle first appeared in the premiere of the " Galaxywide NewsNets " feature in " Star Wars Adventure Journal 3 " , written by Paul Sudlow . She and her partner Jaxa continued to be regularly covered by Cynabar ' s InfoNet , along with other celebrities of the smuggling world such as Platt Okeefe , Doc , Lando Calrissian , and Han Solo .
