Katuunko/Legends

Katuunko was the King of Toydaria during the Clone Wars.

Biography


During the Wars, the king was approached by both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the hopes that he would commit his strategic system to their respective causes. The venerable Jedi Master Yoda himself came to Toydaria to prove to the king that the Jedi and the Republic were capable of protecting Toydaria.

At the same time, Asajj Ventress arrived to convince Katuunko to join the separatist cause. They came down to a "bet": Ventress would send her soldiers after Yoda, if Yoda survives, he joins the Republic. If Yoda is killed or captured, he joins the Separatists. Having heard rumors of the Jedi's impressive reputation, Katuunko demanded that the bet be made fair.

When word came that Yoda had taken out most of the droid forces singlehandedly, Ventress prepared to assassinate the king to replace him with a puppet monarch serving the Separatist cause, but Yoda saved his life, and he swore allegiance to the Republic, giving Yoda his ceremonial dagger.

Katuunko owned a royal space yacht, the Thief's Eye, which he used on diplomatic missions.
