Ka'Pa

Ka'Pa was a Hutt, and crime rival to Takara.

During the waning days of the Old Republic, Ka'Pa owned a Twi'lek dancing girl named B'inka Fibuna who escaped his clutches, earning a live bounty on her head which was eventually claimed by Jango Fett.

Decades later, he was offered amnesty by the New Republic in exchange for supplying them with resources. Mara Jade was sent to negotiate, however, after Jabba's death by Luke Skywalker, Ka'Pa mistrusted the Jedi.

Mara had to break into his palace and "negotiate" by force. Ka'Pa asked her to bring him back Takara's GCT device in order to help the Republic.

After Mara succeeded her mission and gave the GCT to Ka'Pa, the Hutt offered the supplies as a gift, in return for Mara's silence: GCT was illegal, and Mara, being a honest Jedi, would report it to Mon Mothma.

Like many crime lords of his kind, Ka'Pa employed numerous Gamorrean guards and posted them through out his throne room. He also had a Protocol droid handy which is a Hutt staple.

Behind the scenes

 * While it is probable that Ka'Pa's name does not derive from any languages, it is interesting to note that kapa in Hungarian means hack (domestic tool). On Croatian means hat.
 * Ka'Pa the Hutt was voiced by Roger Jackson who was also the voice of Echuu Shen-Jon in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
 * Ka'Pa's dialogue was specially written in Huttese by Ben Burtt himself.
