Balahteez

Balahteez was a Pho Ph'eahian spice smuggler that was captured by the Galactic Empire.

While being chased by an Imperial patrol near Gall, he jettisoned his illegal cargo which was packed inside a chunk of carbonite the size of a luggage trunk. It became pulled down Gall's gravity well and punched a hole into the outer hull of a barracks housing unit of TIE fighter mechanics, fast enough to create a crater thirty meters wide in diameter, killing fifty on impact, plus large enough to suck thirty more of the mechanics out into hard vacuum after explosive decompression. The final twelve that survived the blast and the decompression died from lack of air before the emergency droids could seal the barracks.

Many of his contacts throughout the galaxy ended up on Despayre with him.
