Legend

this Hutt maintained a group of pirates attached to the Invids. Shala and much of his team were nearly killed in a attack on a spice shipment coming out of Kessel, when New Republic warships intercepted them. One of his freighters was sucked into the Maw before Leonia Tavria could arrive with the Invidious and drive off the Republic's forces. When Corran Horn began scaring the residents of Vlarnya with his "avenging Jedi" persona, Shala simply took it as a challenge and began to have his pirates perform more and more heinous crimes, in an effort to draw out the Jedi. Shala also had his demolitions expert, Rach'talik, create a trap for him. However, Shala overestimated the Twi'lek's loyalty. Rach'talik built a trap that would kill both Shala and the Jedi. When Corran attempted to remove the deadHutt switch Shala was holding, the only thing he did was scare the Hutt into dropping it. Rach'talik's laser-flechette armaments went off perfectly, reducing Shala to a puddle of laser-blasted flesh. Corran managed to escape with the help of the Force.
