Legend

this Hutt was placed in charge of Offworld Mining Company's operations on the planet Bandomeer. As ruthless as any other Hutt, Jemba relied on slave labor and sabotage of his competitor's operations to remain at the top of heap. Among the rumors that surrounded Jemba was the story that he destroyed a rival's atmospheric containment system at a mining outpost on the planet Varristad, killing over a quarter of a million beings and ensuring a huge profit for Offworld. During a regular run to collect guards and slaces for use in the mines of Bandomeer, Jemba and his lieutenant Grelb were caught aboard the transport barge Monument when it came under attack by pirates. They had been pestered by the investigations of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Si Treemba, and after being forced to land on an uncharted world, Jemba vowed to eliminate the Jedi and reclaim his workers. However, while trying to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and starve the Arconan workers of his competitors, Jemba's camp was attacked by draigons. Grelb tried to shoot young Obi-Wan, who was fighting off the draigons, but managed instead to hit Jemba. The blasts from Grelb's gun pierced Jemba's hearts, killing him instantly and rendering his efforts to naught.
