Legend

this older Swimmer bull was living in the Dellaltian lake near J'uoch's mining camp, during the early years of the New Order. Shazeen was also Kasarax's uncle. Shazeen was the Top Bull on the lake, but grew tired of the continual challenges to his authority. When he decided to abandon the lake and travel north, Kasarax decided to take control of the lake. This meant that, when he returned to the lake, Shazeen had to submit to Kasarax's usurious practices. Shazeen spent his time trying to find a way to break Kasarax's hold on the lake, and saw his chance when Han Solo bargained for transport. Solo had lost the Millennium Falcon to J'uoch's people, and needed to recover it. During their negotiations, Shazeen thought Hasti Troujow was actually her sister, Lanni, since Hasti was dressed in the same clothes Lanni had worn a few months earlier. This spurred Han's group on, since it gave them another clue as to where Lanni might have been going just before she was killed. Kasarax demanded 40 driit each to transport the group across the lake, which enraged Shazeen. Shazeen offered to transport them for nothing, in an effort to get Kasarax angry. It worked, and a challenge race ensued. The race quickly degraded into physical combat, in which Shazeen overcame the younger Kasarax and forced him to submit. This ended Kasarax's control of the lake. Shazeen then ensured that Han and his companions were safely transported across the lake.
