PePe Rossh PePe Rossh was a male Kaleesh crew member of the starship known as the " Woebegone " in 67 BBY . That year , he and the other crew of the freighter departed the world of Bal ' demnic . However , on course to their next stop , the Kaleesh and the rest of the crew were killed by the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Plagueis , who had stowed upon the ship to get off the planet unnoticed . Biography . A male Kaleesh , PePe Rossh became a crew member under the Togruta Captain Ellin Lah on the freighter " Woebegone " in the years preceding 67 BBY . Along with the rest of the crew of the starship , Rossh frequented places such as Vestral , Sikkem IV , Carlix ' s Folly , and the planet Bal ' demnic . In 67 BBY , after coming from the world of Ord Mantell , the freighter picked up a cargo of fresh sea life on Bal ' demnic . After boarding the ship for departure to the planet Ithor , Rossh , along with crew members Doo Zuto and Wandau , checked that the cargo had been stored . As the " Woebegone " was in hyperspace on route to their next destination , it was discovered that the freighter had picked up a stowaway in one of its cargo bays . Rossh and members of the crew confronted the Muun stowaway , who , although he would not give his name , was in secret the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis . At the Muun ' s request , Lah spoke to the stowaway in private . Upon her return , Lah informed the crew that the Muun was looking to travel unnoticed to the Muun homeworld of Muunilinst , which was close to Ithor . Rossh and the crew members discussed what action they should take , with the Kaleesh leaning towards taking the stowaway to his destination , or even use him as a hostage , as most Muuns were quite wealthy . Even though the crew led clean lives , the money that could be gained from that would help them greatly . However , another decision was reached : the " Woebegone " would drop out of hyperspace , and comm the authorities on Bal ' demnic to see if the Muun was a fugitive , as transporting a fugitive would damage their reputation . If he was , the freighter would go back to Bal ' demnic . If not , the crew would take him to Ithor . Lah then went to inform the Muun of their decision . As the stowaway did not wish being noticed as he left Bal ' demnic in order to keep his business there a secret , the Muun did not accept the deal , and killed Lah . Just as the freighter came out of hyperspace , the Muun rushed with an activated lightsaber in his hand into the cabin where Rossh , Wandau , Zuto , and first mate Maa Kaap were . Allowing Rossh and the others just enough time to draw their blasters , the stowaway attacked . Aided by the pilot Blir ' and the navigator Semasalli , who arrived shortly after , the crew members attempted to take out the Muun . However , after Blir ' , Semasalli , Wandau , and Kaap were felled by the stowaway , Rossh was decapitated as he and Zuto tried to attack the Muun assailant with their hands after blasters proved ineffective . In the end , all of the crew save the ship ' s medical droid , 11 - 4D , were killed . Personality and traits . Rossh was a scarlet colored scaly skinned Kaleesh with a tusked face , and emitted potent pheromones . During the discussion on what to do with the stowaway , Rossh favored taking the Muun to Ithor , and from there maybe all the way to Muunilinst . The Kaleesh considered the stowaway worth far more than ten years of cargo , and also liked the idea of taking him hostage . He also thought that all Muuns were cowards , and would not fight . Rossh had good combat skills for a crew member of a freighter , but despite this , he was killed quickly by Plagueis . Behind the scenes . PePe Rossh ' s first and only appearance to date was in the 2012 novel " Darth Plagueis " , written by James Luceno .
