Later , she accepted Poe ' s deal to escape with Grakkus the Hutt in return for restoring the controls for her prison ' s gravity shield . Biography . Warden Luta ran the privately - run Megalox prison on the high gravity world of Megalox Beta . Megalox prison was considered to be home to the worst criminals in the New Republic . She regarded her prison as a business and was willing to accept bribes in order to admit visitors into her prison . Megalox prison was protected from the planet ' s high gravity by a gravity shield generated by a space station , that served as the prison ' s administrative center . Luta let the prisoners run the prison themselves and regularly ferried supplies to them in shuttles . In 34 ABY , Luta received bribes from both the Resistance General Leia Organa and the First Order Security Bureau Agent Terex to visit Grakkus the Hutt , who had been imprisoned since the Age of the Empire . Both the Resistance and First Order wanted to question Grakkus about the explorer Lor San Tekka , who was believed to know about the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker . Knowing that Poe Dameron and his Black Squadron had been sent by General Organa to visit Grakkus , Terex bribed Luta into abandoning the group to the tender mercies of the prisoners instead of escorting them to Grakkus ' palace . When Poe and Black Squadron arrive , Luta greeted them at the orbital space station and briefed them about prison . She sent a squad of prison guards to escort the Resistance pilots into the prison but made arrangements to abandon them . However , Poe and his comrades managed to fight their way to Grakkus ' fortress . With two parties competing for the same information , Grakkus offered to provide the information to whoever could help him escape . In response , Poe contacted his astromech droid BB - 8 and got him and the other droids O - R10N , R2 - HA , and R4 to deactivate the space station ' s gravity field . They managed to knock out the guards . Luta was in the space station ' s command center when one of her officers reported that a crowd of gangsters was congregating around Grakkus ' compound . Luta commented that Papa Toren and the other crime lord s had decided to take down Grakkus ; not realizing that Terex had engineered the riot . When the officer asked if they should intervene since they had civilians down there , Luta replied that Black Squadron knew the risks and decided to watch how the situation unfolded . She also placed her bet on Isin winning the power struggle . When a security breach was detected in the primary security field generator , she dispatched guards to Deck Twelve to investigate . A security droid was dispatched to investigate and encountered Black Squadron ' s droids . The security droid destroyed O - R10N before being disabled by BB - 8 . The astromechs then deactivated the prison ' s gravity field , overwhelming the gangsters . Black Squadron was unaffected since they wore gravity belt s . With Terex incapacitated , Poe managed to rescue Grakkus . Meanwhile , a prison officer informed Luta that someone had sliced into the prison ' s primary security terminals and disabled the gravity field . Poe then contacted her and managed to convince Luta to allow his group to leave with Grakkus in return for restoring control of the prison . Outmaneuvered , Luta was forced to accept Poe ' s terms . After Poe ' s group and Grakkus departed the prison , BB - 8 restored control of the prison to Luta . She ordered her officers to restore the gravity field and to send medical teams to the surface . Luta feared that losing too many prisoners on this cycle would make her prison unprofitable . Before her men could fulfill these orders , a vengeful Terex rammed his starship " Carrion Spike " through the space station ' s generators , causing it to lose power . Fearing the loss of the prisoners , Luta dispatched shuttles to evacuate the prisoners . However , Terex began destroying the shuttles . Before he could inflict further damage , Black Squadron attacked " Carrion Spike " , forcing Terex to retreat . Personality and traits .
