Jutka Jutka was a male Tuhgri from the moon Dayark in the Kathol Outback . In 8 ABY , he was commander of a small starship . On route to the planet Danoor in the Nah ' Malis system , Jutka ' s ship was forced to make an emergency maneuver when an Aing - Tii Sanhedrim ship dropped out of hyperspace in front of them . Skimming through an energy tendril from the nearby Kathol Rift — a dense gas cloud fraught with lightstorm s — the ship ' s controls were completely ionized , forcing the eight - being crew to abandon ship in a single escape pod . Drifting in an escape pod , Jutka detected a faint energy reading in the Duhrib Belt , an asteroid field orbiting between the system ' s fourth and fifth planets . Tracking the signal , the Tuhgri discovered a damaged mining drone that Jutka hoped could be used to signal their homeworld , or attract rescuers to their plight . During their repair operations , the Tuhgri met representatives from the crew of the " FarStar " , a New Republic vessel , who were engaged in recovering the drone for the government of Danoor . Working together , they salvaged the drone , and Jutka and his crew escaped the asteroid . Eleven years later , in 19 ABY , Jutka served the Kathol Republic as a general and commander of its armed forces . Following a skirmish between Talon Karrde ' s " Wild Karrde " and " Corsair " - class assault starfighters belonging to the Rodian pirate Rei ' Kas in the Episol system , Jutka met with Karrde . He warned the smuggler that the Kathol Republic wanted no part in the war between Rei ' Kas and Crev Bombaasa — under whose protection Karrde was flying — and that the Rodian would not stop hunting Karrde while he was in his territory . Biography . Incident at Danoor . A native of Dayark within the region of space known as the Kathol Outback , the Tuhgri male Jutka commanded a starship crewed by seven of his fellow Tuhgri . In 8 ABY , the ship was heading for the planet Danoor in the Nah ' Malis system on the edge of the Kathol Rift , a violent and turbulent area consisting of dense gas clouds , energy streamers and lightstorm s . As the vessel skirted the edge of the Rift , an Aing - Tii Sanhedrim ship emerged from hyperspace directly in their path . Forced to make an evasive maneuver , the vessel came in contact with one of the Rift ' s tendrils . The energy discharge ionized the ship ' s primary and secondary systems , rendering the vessel inoperable . As the ship drifted closer to the Rift , Jutka gave the order to abandon ship , and all eight crew members used the vessel ' s escape pod . The escape pod made it as far as the Duhrib Belt , an asteroid field orbiting between the system ' s fourth and fifth planets . Jutka detected an energy signature emanating from a mining drone used by the citizens of Danoor to mine the asteroids for raw materials and ores . Tracking the signal through the asteroids , the Tuhgri eventually lost the signal and had to scan for durasteel rather than energy readings . The readings led them to a massive asteroid at the heart of the belt , and they discovered that the drone was stuck in a crevasse . Descending into the crevasse , the Tuhgri found the drone , and Jutka hoped that they could use it to send a message back to their people , or — at the very least — attract the attention of rescuers who could get them to the nearest inhabited planet . However , the drone ' s repulsor power modulator was damaged , and they lacked the tools they needed to repair it , forcing them to cannibalize their escape pod to create makeshift tools . Donning vacuum suits , Jutka and the Tuhgri began to repair the drone . Encounter with the " FarStar " . As the Tuhgri worked on the drone , Jutka became aware of tremors running through the asteroid , and theorized that they were caused by smaller asteroids impacting upon the one they were inside . During the repair process , Jutka and the Tuhgri left the mining drone to return to their escape pod . When they returned to the drone , they found a small group of strangers attempting to retrieve the drone . Initially , the Tuhgri charged at the group , brandishing their makeshift tools as weapons . However , when the new arrivals showed no intent of hostile action against them , Jutka ordered his crew to stand down and approached them . The new arrivals explained their presence — they were members of the crew of the New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " , and were helping the government of Danoor in retrieving their drone in exchange for information on locating a navigator who could pilot their vessel through the Kathol Rift . In turn , Jutka explained the predicament that he and his crew found themselves in . Agreeing to work together , the Tuhgri and the " FarStar " party repaired the drone . As they finished the work , the asteroid tremors became more violent , beginning to crack the rock walls of the crevasse and sending debris raining down onto the two groups . The Tuhgri raced for the safety of the vessel that had ferried the " FarStar " crew down into the crevasse — an " Aegis " - class combat shuttle — along with their new allies . The shuttle lifted off , heading back to the surface of the asteroid to rendezvous with the corvette " FarStar " . On the way out , the shuttle pilot had to avoid falling slabs of rock , and use the blaster cannons to clear debris from the crevasse ' s entrance . Jutka and his Tuhgri were then taken back to Danoor . Encounter with Talon Karrde . Eleven years later , Jutka had joined the Kathol Republic , holding the rank of general and serving as commander of its armed forces . Based on Dayark in the Episol system , Jutka kept a close eye on both Corellian crime lord Crev Bombaasa ' s cartel , and the organization of the Rodian pirate Rei ' Kas . He felt that both posed a threat to the stability of the Republic , as they were involved in a gang war . Following a skirmish involving the Action VI transport " Wild Karrde " and four of Rei ' Kas ' s " Corsair " - class assault starfighters in the system , Jutka requested to meet with the smuggler Talon Karrde , owner of the transport . Jutka arranged to meet Karrde and his associate , the former Mistryl Shadow Guard Shada D ' ukal , in a tapcafe near the spaceport in the capital city of Rytal Prime . For the meeting , Jutka dressed in civilian clothing , although he was not comfortable being out of uniform , and disliked the presence of the protocol droid C - 3PO at the meeting . He told the smuggler that the Kathol Republic wanted no part in the conflict that was occurring between Bombaasa ' s cartel and Rei ' Kas ' s pirates . As Karrde ' s ship was equipped with a unique ID overlay that identified it as under Bombaasa ' s protection — Bombaasa had given it to him as payback for an incident several years earlier when two of his associates had saved Bombaasa ' s life — Rei ' Kas had attacked the ship . Karrde was surprised to learn that Jutka knew the identity of Rei ' Kas , as Bombaasa did not , despite the fact that it was his organization that was under attack . Jutka was worried that their conflict threatened to spill over into Kathol Republic territory , and warned Karrde that the Rodian would continue to pursue him all the time he was in Rei ' Kas ' s territory . Personality and traits . Jutka was a capable commander , able to make snap decisions to save the lives of his crew and then devise a plan to have them rescued when they found themselves stranded in the Nah ' Malis system . Although initially wary of the " FarStar " crew , Jutka was able to be diplomatic when he realized that they meant him and his crew no harm , and was able to convince the New Republic representatives to work with the Tuhgri towards a common goal . As a military officer , he was uncomfortable when out of uniform ; on the occasion he met Talon Karrde in a tapcafe , he was wearing a Crosh - hide jacket that was the height of fashion on Dayark and showed visible signs of discomfort . An intimidating and menacing individual when the situation warranted it , Jutka was genuinely concerned for the safety of the Kathol Republic , and worked hard to ensure that they were not caught in the gang war between Bombaasa ' s cartel and Rei ' Kas ' s pirates . He also harbored a dislike for droids , ordering C - 3PO — who was accompanying Karrde — to shut up or be forcibly shut down . Behind the scenes . Jutka was introduced in the RPG adventure " Galaxy ' s Edge " , written by George R . Strayton , which appeared in " The Kathol Outback " , the second supplement for " The DarkStryder Campaign " . A character named Jutka later appeared in " Vision of the Future " by Timothy Zahn , although this Jutka was presented as a heavyset Human , rather than a Tuhgri . Both characters were , however , present in stories set in the Kathol Outback . In 2008 , " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " finally established that both characters were actually the same individual , and that he was a Tuhgri despite his description as a Human in " Vision of the Future " . In the adventure " Galaxy ' s Edge " , it is possible for the crew of the " FarStar " to engage the Tuhgri in battle upon their first meeting . As the Tuhgri charge the crew with makeshift tools upon seeing them , the players have the option of taking aggressive action in response . If this option is taken , a fight immediately occurs . However , the adventure continues with the assumption that the " FarStar " crew and the Tuhgri are working together to salvage and repair the drone .
