Schnil Hakoon Schnil Hakoon was a Kubaz crime lord who functioned from the city of Kinkosa City . Hakoon settled on Kirtania , from Kubindi , after learning that insects were plentiful within the planet ' s environment . To increase his wealth and power in the insect farming market , he turned to crime and hired the Ebon Coursers mercenaries as his personal body guards . Biography . Born on Kubindi , the male Kubaz Schnil Hakoon was a businessman and innovator . His family on Kubindi owned the patent on several breeds of designer insect used in Kubaz cuisine , and Hakoon ' s goal was to corner the market on his homeworld . With Kubaz cuisine gaining high status amongst the more adventurous members of the Imperial officer corps , Hakoon traveled to the planet Kirtania as he had heard that the world was teeming with insect life . Hoping to corner the market in insect farming on the planet , he established himself as a crime lord in order to raise the capital for his agricultural endeavours . Hakoon soon became known as the being to go to for black market goods in Kinkosa City . He established a headquarters in the city , and hired the bounty hunters known as the Ebon Coursers to serve him . Hakoon also owned the Amber Eye , a smooth , palm - sized amber crystal with a rare insect trapped inside that was valued at 35 , 000 credits . At some point during the Galactic Civil War , the Human thief Pierce Mantrell broke into Hakoon ' s headquarters and stole the Amber Eye . Incensed , Hakoon set the Ebon Coursers to recover the Eye . The gang encountered a group of undercover Rebel agents at Kinkosa Starport , and mistook one of them for Mantrell as one of the group resembled the thief immensely . A lightfight ensued , and an Imperial patrol intervened , confiscating the participants ' weapons . Hakoon witnessed the affray , and offered the undercover Rebels a deal while meeting in a local cantina ; he had discovered that the Rebel ' s ship was low on food and water . In exchange for supplies — including weapons to replace those taken by the Empire — they would hunt Mantrell and recover the Amber Eye . As his men had searched the starport thoroughly , and Hakoon was sure Mantrell had not escaped on a ship , then the Kubaz reasoned that Mantrell must have gone into the nearby rain forest . The Rebels , needing supplies and aware that they could accomplish Hakoon ' s goal while they were carrying out their own mission — searching for wanted terrorist Doctor T ' Jaleq Kith ' Araquia to procure Shiarha Root to treat an outbreak of Direllian Plague — agreed . Hakoon advised them to contact the bartender in the cantina they were meeting in once they had succeeded . After returning from the rain forest having successfully completed the mission , the Rebels contacted Hakoon through the bartender . Good to his word , he had restocked their ship and he sneaked them aboard their vessel in crates as the local Imperial authorities had learned of the Rebels association with Kith ' Araquia and his Araquian tribesmen . Personality and traits . Hakoon was trained to use a blaster , and was knowledgeable about bureaucratic procedures , insect farming , and the goings - on on Kirtania . Behind the scenes . Schnil Hakoon appeared in " The Quality of Mercy " , an RPG adventure written by Nicky Rea published in " Star Wars Adventure Journal 1 " by West End Games in 1995 . If the players failed to recover the Amber Eye for Hakoon , he is angry at the players and will set the Ebon Coursers on them at a later date . In addition , the players will have to figure out an alternative method of getting aboard their ship undetected .
