He appointed the Snivvian Proddo Koda, one of the few ringleaders on Handooine to remain loyal, as new majordomo. By 12 BBY, peace had been restored, and Zergal set about rebuilding it. Sekel himself was murdered by a bounty hunter on Nimban, where he was hiding. Eventually, all but a few of the ring-leaders had been killed or captured (and subsequently eaten). One by one, Zergal's forces descended on the rebel holdouts, capturing them. The captured ring-leaders were all taken back to Nal Hutta and brutally interrogated, before Zergal used them to feed his pet akk wolf. Zergal, not content with simply sitting and waiting, led his Klatooinian, Nikto and Vodran warriors into battle on Handooine, killing or capturing most of the ring-leaders, and forcing Sekel and the remaining ring-leaders to flee to Jabiim. This move prevented the loss of the entire organization, but also split it in two, with the majority of ring-leaders on Jabiim, New Holstice and Handooine siding with Sekel. Zergal immediately put a mark (and a suitably large bounty) on him, and declared him a traitor. This changed in 17 BBY, when his then-majordomo, the Nimbanese Akis Sekel, tried to take over. From 200 BBY, he spent much of his time there, only occasionally checking up on things on Handooine, content to let his Nimbanese majordomo, Fias Sekel, handle things. In 201 BBY, he reestablished connection with the Vosadii Kajidic, buying a palace on Nal Hutta. He slowly expanded his criminal empire, including smuggling of restricted and illegal goods to his list of activities, and by 231 BBY, he virtually controlled the black markets on Handooine, Jabiim and New Holstice, and was making inroads on Saleucami and the southern part of the Tion Hegemony.įrom 228 BBY, Zergal began expanding his activities to include gambling, extortion, illegal pod racing, prostitution and set up several shadowports across the Outer Rim for use by slavers, smugglers and other illicit folk. He started out smuggling spice and running guns, but also dabbled in slaves. On his own initiative, he received very little help from his Kajidic, preferring to make it on his own. He set up his headquarter on Handooine in 311 BBY, and began building his criminal empire, the Nal Barga. On his 81st birthday, he took his ship and left Hutt Space. He stayed there, working for his parent Jeema, learning the trade. Zergal was born on Kor Vosadii in 394 BBY.
