Her forces succeeded in unifying the first six , but the campaign stalled at Kirrek , where an army of rebels and pirates encircled and besieged a group of Teta ' s soldiers . During that time , the amount of supplies accessible to the besieged soldiers dwindled greatly . Seeing an opportunity to make a profit , Hok and Timar Daragon went to Aarrba ' s Repair Dock , a repair yard on Koros Major owned by a Hutt named Aarrba , to get the " Shadow Runner " spaceworthy so that they could run supplies to the Tetan soldiers .

Hok and Timar Daragon bade their children , Gav and Jori Daragon , farewell and departed in the " Shadow Runner " . However , by the time the " Shadow Runner " reached Kirrek , the dynamic of the battle had changed greatly . Teta had enlisted two Jedi , Memit Nadill and Odan - Urr , to lead her forces .
