Wam Lufba

Wam Lufba was a Yuzzem from the moon of Endor. Lufba left the planet on a visiting starship and ended up on the desert planet Tatooine where the Yuzzem found work in the palace of the Hutt crime lord Jabba. Lufba worked as an exterminator in the palace, dealing with pest which could be quite dangerous, and was present when, during the Galactic Civil War, Princess Leia Organa visited Jabba disguised as the bounty hunter Boushh. While the exterminator watched, Organa threatened the Hutt and his court with a thermal detonator in order to claim more credits for the bounty on the Wookiee Chewbacca. Soon afterwards, Jabba was killed at the Great Pit of Carkoon. Lufba used a blaster rifle and had brown hair, yellow eyes and fair skin.
