Gha Nachkt

Gha Nachkt was a Trandoshan salvage ship captain who worked for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the intergalactic Clone Wars. After the battle over the planet Bothawui, Nachkt recovered a damaged Jedi interceptor, and claimed the surviving occupant: R2-D2, an R2 series astromech droid. As R2-D2 contained vital information pertaining to the Galactic Republic, he planned to sell the droid to the confederate commander, General Grievous. However, Nachkt was intercepted by the droid's owner, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. The Trandoshan hid R2-D2 while Skywalker investigated the salvage ship. When Skywalker's search proved inconclusive and left, Nachkt traveled to the Separatist held Skytop Station. There, Nachkt demanded payment from Grievous—more than they previously agreed upon—and was promptly stabbed in the back by the general's lightsaber.
