Durge

"I haven't killed Jedi for a hundred years. And today I get to kill four. Considering the Gungans I already murdered, the hostages I'll kill later, and all the Naboo that will die tomorrow, that makes a damn good week."

- Durge

Durge (2,019&mdash;20 BBY) was a Gen'Dai bounty hunter and a Jedi hunter.

New Sith Wars
Early in life, Durge met a Mandalorian training master known as Jaing. Jaing taught Durge all he needed to know in Mandalorian tactics and skill. Durge was loyal to his Master, and vowed to kill every Mandalorian alive when his Master was killed by a group of Mandalorian Mercenaries under Mandalore Ung Kusp. Durge also specialized in killing Jedi.

Early in his career, Durge fought for the Sith during the New Sith War, but went into hiding after the Sith's defeat at the Seventh Battle of Ruusan.

Following a near death experience at the hands of the Mandalorians after killing their Mandalore in 100 BBY, Durge entered Gen'Dai hibernation to heal his wounds.

Clone Wars
When he resurfaced approximately 22 BBY, Durge worked for Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine for a short time, before joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a warrior and commander on the hire of Count Dooku.

While he was on Tatooine, Durge had several run-ins with a young Boba Fett.



He was defeated by Obi-Wan Kenobi at the Battle of Muunilinst when during a fight, Durge absorbed Obi-Wan into his own body and Obi-Wan pushed outwards, causing him to explode. However, Durge was able to survive and regenerate his body. Along with Asajj Ventress, Durge later fought General Grievous for the title of Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies. However, Durge and Ventress were defeated, thus handing General Grievous the title.

Later on, during Obi-Wan's obsessive search for Asajj Ventress, Durge was finally killed by Anakin Skywalker, who Force-pushed him into an escape pod and shot him into a star. He was replaced by the enemy he hated the most, the Mandalorians.

Durge's armor had several powerful weapons used specifically for fighting Jedi including machine gun gauntlets which fired flechettes, energized bolas, a wrist-mounted flamethrower, customized blaster pistols, a jetpack, and energy shields capable of blocking lightsaber attacks for a short time. He also had dart shooters and a modified swoop speeder bike.
