Biography
Operating from an office in a hotel in Tyrena, on Corellia, Didina Lippinoss was a small-time criminal who performed various services for Karrek Flim, a Viceprex of the Corporate Sector Authority, and was apparently romantically attached to Flim. Under Flim's direction, she did "work that he'd prefer not to be seen doing," as it was kindly phrased by Crev Bombaasa.

At some point between 1.5 ABY and 3 ABY, Lippinoss hired a spacer to recover some records that implicated Flim in the environmentally unfriendly business practice of leveling several old-growth forests in the Corellian system. She adamantly proclaimed to the spacer that these records were forged, and directed him to discreetly find Bin Huusir, the slicer who possessed the files, and return them to her. Huusir made no attempt to speak to the spacer, instead shooting at him on sight. After defeating Huusir, the spacer returned the data to Lippinoss, and received payment and her gratitude.

What was apparently unknown to Lippinoss, however, was that the spacer was in no way loyal to her, and was willing to take a job from Crev Bombaasa to blackmail her. Bombaasa, in the service of Shalera the Hutt, wished to gather incriminating evidence against Viceprex Flim, and had Lippinoss followed. He then hired the spacer to convey the results of this surveillance from his Bothan informant, Sli'woon Biul, who was located outside Tyrena, back to Bombaasa in the Tyrena cantina.

The report, which Biul described as "quite entertaining," was satisfactory to Bombaasa. He believed it would create interesting gossip in the community if he released it on Shalera's orders, which he would do if the Viceprex failed to satisfy the Hutt. In addition, Bombaasa believed that presenting a copy of the report to Lippinoss herself would compel her to give him secret data from the Corporate Sector Authority in order to prevent its release. Bombaasa directed the spacer to a clandestine meeting with Meeko, Lippinoss's servant, on the outskirts of Tyrena. Meeko received the document, but warned the spacer that her employer would not comply with any blackmail attempts.

The warning proved to be accurate, and Lippinoss did not cooperate with Bombaasa's demands. Instead, she hired a Trandoshan bounty hunter named Morrng to kill Bombaasa. Bombaasa paid the spacer to "remove" Morrng, which he accomplished just outside Tyrena. After Morrng was eliminated, Bombaasa expressed his frustration at Lippinoss's actions, and his expectation that only one of them would emerge from their conflict alive. As Bombaasa continued to grow in power and survived until at least 29 ABY, it can be assumed that he was the ultimate victor.
