Quarg

Quarg was a Human male who served as governor of a group of exiles on the watery planet Drexel during the Galactic Civil War. Quarg's father was a former Old Republic official who ran an illegal ship-wrecking operation in the Korteen asteroid belt—after the Republic and the Jedi broke up the scheme, he and several followers fled to Drexel, where Quarg was raised. Quarg ascended to the position of governor after his father's death, taking command of the Great Ship, a massive floating city-ship built around the remains of the starship that originally bore the exiles to Drexel.

As Governor, Quarg threw himself into two pursuits, a continuation of his father's ship-wrecking scheme, and a bloody war with the Dragon Lords, a splinter group descended from people Quarg's father had cast off from the Great Ship. In 0 ABY, Quarg's sonic jammer ensnared a Rebel Alliance scout ship containing a young man named Luke Skywalker, whose droids impressed Quarg to offer him a place on his ship instead of simply executing him. However, when more of Skywalker's fellow rebels arrived on Drexel, Skywalker turned on Quarg amidst a massive Dragon Lord attack. While defending his friend Leia Organa from Quarg's threats, Skywalker kicked the Governor overboard, leading to Quarg's death.
