Progga

Progga, also known as Progga the Hutt, was a minor crime lord and pirate from the edge of the Unknown Regions that was active during the last years of the Galactic Republic. In 27 BBY, Progga, aboard his starship, ambushed the smuggling freighter Bargain Hunter in the Outer Rim, hoping to steal the Bargain Hunter cargo of rare furs and firegems. The Bargain Hunter fled into hyperspace, and Progga gave chase, eventually following the freighter to a remote star system in the Unknown Regions. However, when Progga had finally trapped the Bargain Hunter in the system, both parties were attacked by Picket Force Two of the Chiss Ascendancy Expansionary Fleet. Progga's starship attempted to engage the new interlopers, but the Chiss forces proved to powerful, and the Hutt's starship was destroyed, killing Progga.

Biography
Progga, often called Progga the Hutt, was a temperamental pirate and minor crime lord from the fringes of the galaxy's Unknown Regions that was active during the waning day so the Galactic Republic. During this time, Progga formed a rivalry with fellow Hutt crime lord Drixo. As a result, in 27 BBY, Progga and his crew, aboard Progga's starship, attempted to hijack the smuggling freighter Bargain Hunter&mdash;captained by Dubrak Qennto&mdash;in the Outer Rim Territories. The Bargain Hunter had been hired by Drixo to transport a cargo of rare furs and firegems to the planet Comra.

With Progga's starship firing on the smuggling freighter, the Bargain Hunter made a short jump into hyperspace, hoping to flee Progga's ambush. However, the Hutt pirate pursued the Bargain Hunter, and continued its assault once the freighter had exited hyperspace. Desperate to escape, the Bargain Hunter made another jump into hyperspace, and Progga again followed the smugglers. During the resulting four hour jump, both starships left the Outer Rim Territories, passed through the region known as Wild Space, and exited in the edges of the Unknown Regions.

After leaving hyperspace, Progga tracked the Bargain Hunter to a nearby star system, where the freighter was trapped, its hyperdrive unresponsive. Because the system was the only one in the area, Progga came to the conclusion that Qennto had fled to this system because the smuggler had hidden a treasure hoard there, believing no one would find it. The Hutt hailed the Bargain Hunter, demanding to know where Qennto had stashed his treasures; unbeknownst to Progga, the Bargain Hunter, in its haste, had made random jump and had emerged in this particular star system by happenstance.
