Legend

this legendary Mugaari space pirate and smuggler was described as one of the meanest criminals of his generation, during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Sector Rangers who pursued him recognized that Clabburn would kill beings just to see them die. A hairy humanoid with oily green skin, Clabburn managed to ambush the Malachite Scent, the starship of a wealthy Shistavanen noble and looted its holds, an act of piracy that made him exceptionally rich. Rather than retiring, he hid out in the Hoth asteroid belt, continuing to lie in wait for ships to fly close enough to ambush. He was never found, because he kept hopping around the asteroid field, relocating his base and hiding until he could strike again. Clabburn was known to leave a space slug living in his abandoned bases, further eliminating any pursuit. He disappeared during the last years of the Old Republic, although many law enforcement officers knew it was only a matter of time before he reappeared. When he did, however, no one assumed it would be in a partnership with the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk, nor was it anticipated that the pair would be under the employment of Figg Excavation. In many respects, this was correct, as the smuggler who joined forces with Salmakk was actually Clabburn the Younger, Clabburn's own son. Clabburn the Elder, as he became known, remained in hiding during the Galactic Civil War, apparently enjoying his fortune and watching his son grow more powerful.
