Farquil Ban ' n Farquil Ban ' n was a female Bith from Clak ' dor VII who served as Embra the Hutt ' s assistant in 0 BBY . When Embra participated in a competition with fellow Hutts Malta and Jabba Desilijic Tiure to see who could hire the the most effective contractors to retrieve the valuable Yavin Vassilika artifact , Ban ' n was charged with organizing Embra ' s hirelings — the bounty hunters Zuckuss , 4 - LOM , and Sardu Sallowe . The hunt commenced , with Embra ' s contractors pitting themselves against the likes of Boba Fett , Bossk , and Han Solo . Ban ' n , however , had other ideas , and wanted to claim the prize for herself and leave Embra ' s service . She decided to track Malta ' s assistant , Jozzel Moffet , who had originally suggested the entire escapade and was accompanying Solo and another of Jabba ' s contractors , Lando Calrissian , on the hunt . After Moffet collected the artifact , Ban ' n tracked her to the jungle moon of Yavin 4 , where Moffet received payment for delivering the Vassilika to representatives from the Alliance to Restore the Republic . A firefight broke out after the other contractors converged on the moon , but Ban ' n was able to isolate Moffet , kill her , and collect the 4 , 000 , 000 payment . Ban ' n subsequently quit Embra ' s employ , but was tracked down by Fett , who retrieved the money on behalf of Jabba . Biography . The Yavin Vassilika . Farquil Ban ' n was a female Bith who hailed from Clak ' dor VII , the homeworld of her species . She found employment in the service of Embra the Hutt . In 0 BBY , she was asked by Embra to don a Theselonian bridal gown while serving the Hutt biscuits — a task that Ban ' n found to be extremely painful . A week later she accompanied Embra to the palace of another Hutt , Jabba Desilijic Tiure , who had recently won a decisive victory over the rival Besadii clan . Traveling to the palace on Tatooine , Embra and yet another Hutt , Malta paid tribute to Jabba , and joined him for a game of dejarik . Meanwhile , Ban ' n joined Jabba ' s majordomo , Bib Fortuna and Malta ' s handmaiden , Jozzel Moffet in watching from the sidelines , waiting for their masters to call on them . Ban ' n and Moffet spoke disparagingly of their bosses , causing Fortuna to bristle , but Moffet was adamant that she would be able to break out of her servitude to Malta and earn a living on her own , much to Ban ' n ' s skepticism . Ban ' n and Fortuna watched as Moffet first poured wine for Malta , and then pushed the boundaries of her position by suggesting a contest between the three Hutts — the legendary and extremely valuable Yavin Vassilika artifact had recently re - emerged , a fact that intrigued the Hutts . They dictated the rules of the treasure hunt , wherein each Hutt could only hire three contractors each to locate the Vassilika and bring it to Nar Shaddaa , the Smuggler ' s Moon . Embra quickly put Ban ' n to use collating information gathered by the Hutt ' s network of informants , compiling a list of the contractors hired by his rivals . Jabba had elected to hire the smugglers Han Solo and Lando Calrissian , while Malta had hired a trio of bounty hunters : IG - 88B , Bossk , and Dengar . Embra elected to go down the same route , meeting with the bounty hunters Zuckuss , 4 - LOM , and Sardu Sallowe at the Hutt ' s residence . Embra placed Ban ' n at the trio ' s disposal , and made sure that they were provided with full documentary breakdown of the mission , including the lists of rival contractors . 4 - LOM identified that Jabba had only hired two to hunt down the Vassilika , and Embra admitted that the identity of the third had escaped his and Ban ' n ' s information network . The Hutt assured the bounty hunters that his Bith servant would continue her attempts to divine the information , and would forward it onto the hunters as soon as it was available . Sallowe suggested that they would find out for themselves , before the trio departed to find the Vassilika . Jabba ' s third contractor was ultimately revealed to be yet another bounty hunter , Boba Fett . Ban ' n , secretly wanting to claim the prize for herself , elected to act independently of Embra , and track Moffet , who was personally accompanying Solo and Calrissian on the hunt . During the hunt , Zuckuss decided to give himself an advantage by taking out 200 , 000 registered bounties on both Bossk and Dengar as part of a contingency plan , of which Ban ' n was aware . Ultimately , 4 - LOM , Zuckuss , and Sallowe managed to track the Vassilika to an uncharted planet that was home to a colony of Barundi , with Jabba ' s and Malta ' s contractors following close behind . Turning the tables . 4 - LOM was effectively disabled by the Barundi trying to recover the Vassilika from their village — ultimately the artifact was recovered by Moffet , who ferried it away to the jungle moon of Yavin 4 . Ban ' n made her way to the moon in her ship as Moffet met with General Jan Dodonna and Bria Tharen — representatives of the Alliance to Restore the Republic who paid 4 , 000 , 000 and a perfect forgery of the artifact for the true Vassilika . The exchange , however , was interrupted by Zuckuss , Sallowe , Bossk , Dengar , IG - 88B , and ultimately Fett . Zuckuss attempted to claim the briefcase full of credits , prompting a firefight between the bounty hunters . Amid the confusion , one of Sallowe ' s Jawa assistants ran off with the briefcase , pursued by yet another bounty hunter , Greedo , who had been accompanying Moffet , Calrissian , and Solo . He in turn was pursued by Moffet , who was still being tracked by the clandestine Ban ' n . Greedo eventually caught the Jawa , allowing Moffet to easily claim the briefcase . As Malta ' s servant attempted to depart with both the replca Vassilika and the briefcase , Ban ' n emerged and shot her in the back just as Zuckuss and Sallowe arrived on the scene . The bounty hunters registered surprise at the Bith ' s sudden appearance , but she managed to placate them by handing over the replica Vassilika , which they could take to Embra in order to claim the reward . Ban ' n would also organize a further 200 , 000 for Zuckuss , to be used to either repair 4 - LOM or cover the cost of one of his registered bounties on Bossk and Dengar . Ban ' n then departed Yavin 4 in her ship , and made her way across the galaxy to another world , where she set herself up with a deck chair on a beach with her briefcase of 4 million credits , watching the planet ' s suns set . She then called Embra on her comlink , and informed him that she was resigning from his service . She terminated the communication as the Hutt protested , only to have Boba Fett arrive unannounced to collect the credits for Jabba , much to Ban ' n ' s shock . The credits were the result of a sale of Besadii spice claimed in Jabba ' s earlier victory , and the Hutt felt it was his by right . Fett successfully extracted the money from Ban ' n . Personality and traits . Farquil Ban ' n was not happy with her job , and had a low opinion of her employer , Embra , to the point of finding him and his fellow Hutts to be contemptuous . A demure Bith , she was given to sarcasm and witticism , not unlike fellow servant to the Hutts Jozzel Moffet , and she would address those more devoted to the Hutts , such as Bib Fortuna , in a condescending fashion . Ban ' n was utilized by Embra as a gatherer of information and data , and was instrumental in the organization of his three bounty hunters dispatched to retrieve the Yavin Vassilika . She admired Moffet ' s cunning in acquiring the Vassilika by deceiving numerous bounty hunters and smugglers , and also respected the work of the bounty hunter Zuckuss . Ban ' n was also an enterprising individual , taking Moffet ' s idea of setting herself up with money independently to escape the influence of the Hutts and decided to make the aspiration her own . After retiring from the service of Embra the Hutt , Ban ' n became very particular about her comfort , even confronting those who would stand in her light when she had elected to bask in the warmth of the suns . Appearance , attire , and equipment . Farquil Ban ' n had black eyes and pink skin , similar to other Bith across the galaxy . She wore brown robes with a black yoke while in the service of Embra , and donned a cloak and cap while on Yavin 4 . When she had departed from Embra ' s employ she favored a straw hat while relaxing on the beach . Ban ' n utilized a blaster pistol and a ship with a purple hull . Also among Ban ' n ' s effects were a comlink that could make interplanetary calls , and a drinking glass . Behind the scenes . Farquil Ban ' n first appeared in the of the " " ( 2001 ) comic series , written by Mike Kennedy and penciled by Carlos Meglia . The character did not appear again until the of the series .
