Moruth Doole Moruth Doole was a male Rybet who was the administrator of the spice mines of Kessel and de facto ruler of the planet after the revolt against Imperial rule . Biography . Doole began his career on Kessel as an administrator in the spice mines . He was a corrupt official who brokered deals for various smuggling gangs , particularly by selling the Hutts illegal shipments of glitterstim . Imperial Customs officer Hewat was determined to expose Doole ' s illegal spice distribution operation . Han Solo was a frequent visitor to Kessel when he worked for Jabba the Hutt to smuggle spice . Doole was a glitterstim user , using its abilities to boost his mental powers . However , excessive glitterstim usage causes paranoia in the user and he became excessively paranoid about Solo . Thus , Doole tipped the Imperials off about Solo . This deeply angered Jabba the Hutt , as the crime lord then planned to kill Doole . Doole pleaded with Jabba ' s henchmen to take only his eye instead , which they did . In 5 ABY , Doole became responsible for the deaths of Kyp Durron ' s parents . After the death of Palpatine at Endor in 4 ABY , Doole staged a revolt against Imperial control of Kessel ; overthrowing the guards and successfully taking control of the planet . He then installed Arb Skynxnex as his second - in - command . After the revolt , Doole discovered a dead rancor in the prison which had been starved to death . Doole regretted the death of the rancor as he planned to feed the Imperials to it . Instead , he sent them to the mines but tortured the former head of the prison and froze him in carbonite , displaying it in his office . Now Doole was in charge , he had a number of female Rybets shipped over to Kessel so he could exclusively mate with them . He used his offspring as a form of cheap labor while they were in the larval stage before he killed them . As a result of the murder of their children , his concubines bore him tremendous ill - will . In 6 ABY , Doole made a deal with Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron over prisoners in his care . Doole would release various political prisoners who were captured during the height of the Galactic Civil War in exchange for Antilles taking several " problem prisoners " off Doole ' s hands . In this way , Doole rid himself of some powerful Black Sun members like Zekka Thyne and Fliry Vorru . Top of the list was Arb Skynxnex but Doole utterly refused to let him go . Rogue Squadron wrecked most of Kessel ' s defenses during the mission so Doole put priority on building a fleet to defend the planet . In 11 ABY , Han Solo and Chewbacca were sent on a mission to Kessel to reopen relations with the planet and to possibly negotiate the release of the remaining political prisoners there . Han Solo broadcast a greeting when he was met by Doole ' s fleet , but he was shot down and taken prisoner . Doole initially wanted to kill him but instead threw him in the mines . Leia Organa Solo began looking for her husband so he sent Skynxnex to kill Solo and Chewbacca . They were already planning an escape and fled with a shuttle to The Maw , with a new found friend named Kyp Durron . Skynxnex was killed and eaten by a Spice spider . Leia sent Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian to Kessel to find out what became of Han . Calrissian posed as a potential investor while Luke was his assistant . During a tour , they noticed a repaired " Millennium Falcon " sitting alongside Doole ' s fleet . They recaptured the ship and fled the planet . At the same time , Admiral Daala ' s complement of Star Destroyers from the hidden Maw Installation made an appearance chasing the Sun Crusher . She saw Doole ' s fleet , thought it a Rebel trap and battled the fleet , destroying it . Chewbacca spoke to the Galactic Senate , proposing a mission to rescue prisoners on Kessel and in the Maw Installation . A fleet was dispatched and the New Republic forces tried to arrest Doole . However , once his concubines and his children were released , they chased him into the mines and like Skynxnex , he was attacked , killed , and eaten by many energy spiders .
