Salovan Fische Salovan Fische was a male Human pirate from Corellia who lived several centuries before the rise of the Empire . He was notable for establishing a secret base within the bowels of Resh 9376 , a comet whose existence was largely unknown to galactic society . However , his crew eventually mutinied and left him stranded within the comet , where he languished for six years until he died . History . Very little is known of this man ' s life prior to his discovery of Resh 9376 , save for the fact that he stumbled across the pertinent information in a long - forgotten survey compiled by an automated Corellian exploration vessel over 200 years earlier . The vessel ' s records indicated that the otherwise - unremarkable comet contained a " cavernous anomaly in the comet ' s anterior quadrant , possibly the result of prior habitation . " Intrigued , Fische and his band of pirates traveled to the comet ' s location in the Outer Rim and made a complete survey of the drifting planetoid , including several forays into the anterior caverns . It was just what the Corellian vagabond had been looking for — a mobile base , hidden from prying eyes in an insignificant comet that few people realized existed . For the next decade , Fische and his crew used the comet as a base , lashing captured starships to the interior walls and using the primary cavern to store booty . In time , the pirates fashioned several of the smaller caverns into sealed chambers and used their ever - growing funds to make Resh 9376 into a more comfortable hideout . Fische , emboldened by his successes and filled with ambitious dreams of turning the comet into a full - fledged shadowport of his own , secured a number of mining droid s and other excavating equipment in order to hollow out the rest of the comet . Downturn . However , his luck eventually ran out . Following a series of failed raids against well - guarded merchant convoys - - and tired of the comet ' s miserable living conditions , Fische ' s crew mutinied , leaving him marooned within Resh 9376 with nothing but a number of mining droids . He languished within for nearly six years before dying of undetermined causes , using that time to chip away at the comet ' s interior . Legacy . Before his death , several of Fische ' s former crew sold the comet ' s information to the Anjiliac kajidic , who saw potential in Resh 9376 . Despite stories of Fische ' s lavish and decadent lifestyle , the Hutt clan would not actively seek to exploit the preconstructed base for another century . Once the Hutts moved in , they took Fische ' s rudimentary cave complex and turned it into a respectable shadowport , which came to be known as Point Nadir . In addition to this , stories began to circulate amongst the comet ' s later inhabitants that Fische had hidden a treasure trove of goods and riches somewhere in one of the unexplored caverns . This legendary treasure , which eventually came to be known as Fische ' s Legacy , was the subject of many impromptu treasure hunts during the Anjiliacs ' tenure over Resh 9376 . The exact contents and origin of the treasure varied from one storyteller to another : in one instance , the Legacy consists of booty taken from captured freighters ; in another , the loot was a motherlode of priceless gems and ores that Fische found during his solitude . Behind the scenes . The exact era in which Salovan Fische lived has not been confirmed . However , given that much of the content provided in the " Scum and Villainy " sourcebook is set within or near the Imperial Period , and that the Anjiliac Hutts have controlled Point Nadir for at least one hundred years ( probably longer ) after buying the information from his former crew , the very latest that he could have died would be sometime between 300 BBY - 200 BBY .
