Legend

this crimelord rose to power on Mawan, in the wake of the Great Purge. He earned the name Striker during his capture of the city of Naatan, when his soldiers used Striker pistols to kill their enemies. During the years following the Battle of Naboo, Striker was one of the three most powerful beings in Naatan, rivalled only by Feeana Tala and Decca. When Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yaddle, and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Mawan to negotiate a settlement between the crimelords, Anakin discovered that Striker was actually his old nemesis, Granta Omega. As Striker, he hoped to lure a member of the Jedi Council to Mawan and kill them, in an effort to impress the Sith Lord he belived to be gathering power in the galaxy. While he did succeed in taking Yaddle's life, the bioweapon he used did nothing to the population of Mawan. When it was revealed that Striker was actually Granta Omega, Decca decided to hedge her bets, and formed an alliance with him. She added her fleet of ships to Omega's weapons, producing a strong opposition to the work of the Jedi Knights.
