Kaum

Doctor Kaum was a male Mon Calamari scientist who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Kaum was an expert in weapons technology and, by the Battle of Yavin, his specialty was beam weapons. In 1 ABY, Dr. Kaum was recruited by the crime lord Jabba the Hutt to develop some weapons for his organization on the planet Tatooine. However, the arrival of the scientist on Tatooine was discovered by Lady Valarian, the leader of the Valarian criminal syndicate and main rival of Jabba. As the Mon Calamari did not know any of Jabba's thugs, Lady Valarian's lieutenant Ind tasked a spacer with picking him up before Jabba's men. The spacer thus encountered Kaum upon his arrival on Mos Eisley and escorted him back to Ind at the Lucky Despot. Unaware that he had been lured, Dr. Kaum later began to work for the Valarian syndicate.
