Zhug brothers

"Which one do you want?" "I'll take the stupid one, who decided to threaten us rather than shoot us when he had the chance."

- Atton and Bao-Dur upon being confronted by three Zhug brothers

The Zhug brothers were Duros bounty hunters cast out from Duro after attempting to wipe out a rival, politically connected ruling family around the era of the Jedi Civil War. The Zhugs eventually settled on Nar Shaddaa, and began hunting for prey in the slums of the massive megacity. They pursued the Jedi Exile's companions at the landing pad of the freighter Ebon Hawk during 3,951 BBY, attacking Bao-Dur, Kreia, Vias Marr, Brianna (if Exile is a male) and Atton Rand, and instead of ambushing them, were unwise enough instead to issue foolish ultimatums and threats. The three Duros hunters, including Azanti Zhug, their leader, were dispatched, and none of the Jedi Exile's comrades were killed in the short, decisive exchange of fire.

Eight more of the Zhugs boarded Goto's yacht after the Jedi Exile and her companions disabled its cloaking shield. They attempted to kill the skillful Jedi, but once again, they were killed.

The Zhugs numbered in the hundreds, grouped not by blood but by their shared cause, and claimed that they were in fact a new "family," seeking to raise enough credits to seize Duro for their own.
