Leurm Leurm was a male Hutt who lived life as a notorious murderer prior to the Second Galactic Civil War . His criminal tendencies were curtailed by the intervention of the Jedi Tahiri Veila , which saw Leurm sentenced to a prison term in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility . In 44 ABY , he and several comrades attempted to avenge themselves upon Veila — who had herself been sentenced to the same prison — only to suffer an ignominious defeat , courtesy of the former Jedi Knight . Biography . Criminal . Leurm was a felonious male Hutt in the years before the Second Galactic Civil War . A being with a propensity for murder , Leurm earned a reputation as a heinous killer before he was stopped through the efforts of Jedi Knight Tahiri Veila . Following his arrest , trial , and subsequent conviction , the homicidal Hutt was remanded to galactic penal service in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility of Coruscant . While incarcerated , Leurm made the acquaintance of many other criminals , among them a murderous Wookiee gangster named Gaharrag , and the Mon Calamari vehicle thief Furan . In 44 ABY , an opportunity for Leurm to avenge himself arose when Tahiri Veila , the same Jedi responsible for his own incarceration , was herself subjected to confinement within the walls of the Armand Isard Correctional Facility for her own crimes during the recent civil war . The Hutt was enjoying a time of recess when Veila was mistakenly brought to the same exercise yard occupied by the majority of the prison ' s male population — Leurm included . Furan was the first of them to confront her ; when it became apparent that she would not be intimidated , Leurm , Gaharrag , and several other prisoners were summoned by the Mon Calamari to partake in her imminent thrashing . Taunting ensued as inmates prepared to attack , but Veila preceded them by assaulting Leurm and breaking his arm . The Wookiee charged and , as Veila faced him , swung , only to pummel Leurm as she ducked . The Hutt fell onto his broken arm as Veila proceeded to dispatch each of his remaining comrades . The former Jedi ' s victory was short - lived , however ; while the battered tended to their injuries , prison staff dropped Veila with a stun bolt , one especially designed for the incapacitation of Hutts like Leurm . Personality and traits . Leurm was a greasy Hutt and was considered an especially large member of his species . Slithering constituted his method of forward locomotion , during which Leurm was able to flatten his girth to effect greater traction . His predilection for crime earned him a stint in the Armand Isard Correctional Facility , though his tenure did nothing to diminish his violent tendencies . While former Jedi Veila was slightly less cautious of Leurm than Gaharrag , she recognized the threat posed by their combined effort , and sought to first eliminate the Hutt in order to focus on the more dangerous Wookiee . The combination of his immense size ; short , impractical arms ; and inability to withstand a full strength — albeit inadvertent — attack from a Wookiee resulted in a swift and utter defeat for Leurm in the prison exercise yard . Behind the scenes . Leurm ' s first and only Legends appearance is in Aaron Allston ' s " " , the seventh novel in the nine - part " " series .
