Runganna

Runganna was a criminal with a feminine personality during the. A, she based her operation on the Shell Hutt artificial planetoid of.

Runganna had aspirations of running a galaxy-wide criminal operation, taking advantage of the ongoing wars to move illicit products through contested territories. Disdaining more cautious paths, shortly after coming of age at two hundred, she hired the Darqyren Valt as her vizier and set out to build her own empire. She acquired some gunrunning businesses from her Shell Hutt elders, but also forged a partnership with Tarni Hadan, the self-proclaimed and Empress of. Hadan provided Runganna slaves and  spice, allowing Runganna to expand into distribution of those as well.

In 1,387 BBY, the Breld Syndicate contacted Runganna through Darqyren, offering to sell her a in exchange for millions of credits and publicity of its operations in the right circles. Runganna took on considerable debt for the purchase, and took possession of the bomb in 1,386 BBY; she decided to host an auction coinciding with a party for her newest shell, and planned an elaborate, multi-day affair of feasts and gladiatorial games. Against Darqyren's advice, she also hired the mercenary Ghrond Farshyk, planning a Koboskya no Jankpa for the champions of her auctions.

Runganna's fete started well; negotiators came from the, the Empire of Ryloth, and. Runganna's fellow Hutts from many worlds struck useful deals, including several which profited Runganna. A few days into the party, though, Runganna was confronted by Mar'sebbin of, who was incensed at not being invited; while Tirien Kal-Di and Izkara Raltadus defended her from Mar'sebbin and his bodyguards, some of Runganna's guests understood the new danger and departed. After an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Runganna with a Drackmarian methane grenade, she called the auction the same day.

Darqyren managed to get the bids up to twenty million credits when Runganna sprang her Koboskya no Jankpa trap; all three factions agreed, but the Mandalorians bowed out just before the contest. Runganna unleashed Ghrond Farshyk on Narasi Rican and Zaella Sabir, but the two joined forces to kill the Dashade, after which Narasi defeated and spared Zaella. Over Tirien's protests, Runganna had San Pavac fight Narasi, but she defeated and refused to kill him as well; when he tried to blow her up from behind, Arkyr Rentol shot him in the head. Runganna refused to give the bomb to the Jedi, but Tirien struck down her bodyguards and d the repulsors in her armor. When Tirien threatened to expose her machinations to the and Trayvin Osydro (who had been excluded from the auction), Runganna accepted defeat and gave the Jedi the codes to the bomb, though Kal-Di inflicted another humiliation on her by freeing her slaves.

Her finances devastated, Runganna despaired of her future.
