Dool Pundar

Dool Pundar was a Neimodian pirate lord.

Biography
Before turning pirate, Dool Pundar was captain of a battleship in the Trade Federation fleet. As the fleet began the Invasion of Naboo, he and a few allies aboard his vessel sent out a distress signal, altered course and hid within a nebula far from the control of his superiors. Making use of battle droids he had reprogrammed, Pundar and his supporters gathered those of the crew who remained loyal to the Trade Federation and forced them into an airlock, ejecting them into space. Armed with his own force of several small support vessels and battle droids, Pundar set himself up as a pirate lord.

After the conclusion of the Naboo blockade, Trade Federation forces were unable to locate Pundar's "lost" ship. They discovered his treachery several months later, after several fast and lucrative raids on well-traveled hyperspace lanes netted him more ships and crew. His forces included over one hundred Vulture droids and several YT-1300 light freighters.

Pundar eluded capture by fleets sent both by the Galactic Republic, and the Trade Federation, as well as numerous bounty hunters.

Characteristics
Dool Pundar was an exemplary pirate lord, ruthless, and a highly talented tactician. Like others of his species, he was a greedy individual, but he was unusually brave and willing to take risks to obtain wealth and holdings.
