Legend

this man attended from the Imperial Academy on Carida, but was expelled for grifting his classmates. He was returned to his homeworld just in time to witness the public execution of his father. Hask took his meager inheritance, along with the hidden caches of credits and valuables his father had stashed away, and bought a small starship. He began a small-time pirating operation, and eventually worked his way up to become the leader of the Bonestar Pirates. He led the Corellian authorities on a chase through the Corellian System in the armed freighter Buzzzer, and tried to lose them at Gus Treta. His plan was to create a large enough diversion to allow the pirates to escape from notice. He landed at the Jagged Antilles' fuel depot, and requested that his ship be refueled. In the midst of refueling, Hask ordered his ship to lift off. This resulted in a ruptured fuel linkage that spewed volatile fuel everywhere. The backwash from his ship's thrusters ignited the fuel, destroying the Antilles' depot. Jagged and Zena Antilles died trying to contain the damage, but Wedge was removed from the conflagration by Booster Terrik. Terrik did not stand in Wedge's way when the youth demanded revenge, and Hask found himself again the hunted. Wedge and Booster managed to severely damage the Pirate's ship, leaving them for dead. Hask, fearing for his own life, took the only usable spacesuit and escaped the destruction. However, a parasite had hidden in the suit, and attacked Hask. It latched onto his face, and Hask never found a suitable method for removing it without inflicting great damage to himself. He vowed to hunt down Wedge Antilles for the loss of his pirates and ship. He later managed to became a member of the Imperial forces, and was one of the neogitators trying to obtain the Mrlssi Phantom cloaking device. He was pitted against Wedge Antilles in the negotiations, and managed to frame the Rogues in an incident of theft. Wedge escaped, and was able expose Hask's treachery. However, Hask escaped to Rorax Falken's lab, where he discovered the gravitic polarization beam. When the suddenly activated, Hask was caught too near the device. It developed a huge feedback loop, opening a wormhole and swallowing Hask, the lab, and a nearby Star Destroyer.
