Palejo Reshad

Palejo Reshad was a native of the planet Corellia. He worked as a spice trader, and operated out of his homeworld's city of Bela Vistal. Sometime after the year 0 BBY, Reshad was doing trading business with associates of the crime lord Shalera the Hutt when he was blackmailed by a man who recorded the conversation. Reshad did not want to pay the blackmailer, and he hired a spacer to kill him. In 4 ABY, Reshad was affiliated with the crime lord Jabba the Hutt on the planet Tatooine, and he made a large profit selling spice in the Hutt's court. He secretly used part of it to fund the Alliance to Restore the Republic. That year, Reshad was present in the Hutt's palace when several allies of Jabba's prisoner Han Solo arrived to bargain for his freedom, for which Jabba eventually sentenced them to die at the Great Pit of Carkoon.
