Amda Wabo

Amda Wabo was a male Aqualish who worked as a weapons designer on the planet Garel during the early years of the Galactic Empire's reign. On one occasion, he negotiated a deal with Empire to sell them a large supply of T-7 ion disruptor rifles, meeting with Imperial Minister Maketh Tua on the planet Lothal. Their negotiation proved difficult, as the two did not share a common language and had to use the protocol droid C-3PO as a translator. This was used by the crew of the starship Ghost to disrupt the deal in an attempt to steal the disruptors, as by removing the pair's translator they were able to provide their own translation services to Tua and Wabo during a trip from Lothal to Garel.

The thieves managed to misdirect Tua and the Imperials to the wrong hangar bay in Garel City Spaceport, while they loaded the disruptors onto their own ship. Once Wabo and Tua realized they had been tricked, the Imperials attacked the crew of the Ghost but were unable to prevent them from stealing the weapons, after which Wabo turned on Tua in the belief she had double crossed him.
