Tyber Zann

"I am Tyber Zann. Corruption is my weapon. And while the Galaxy is distracted by civil war, I will strike."

- Tyber Zann

Tyber Zann was a crimelord who rose to prominence after the Battle of Yavin, during the Galactic Civil War. He used his extensive crime network to influence the warring factions, siphon their credits, and sabotage their operations when necessary. His chief rival was an opposing Hutt crimelord named Jabba Desilijic Tiure.



During the course of his ascent to power, his forces may have fought against powerful leaders of both factions of the war, including the Alliance Jedi Luke Skywalker and Yoda. One of his campaigns led him to Felucia, where he led the ground forces of his criminal enterprise against an Imperial detachment.

It was a primary desire of his to gain command of an Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought.
