Tales From Jabba's Palace
In the dusty heat of twin sunned Tatooine lives the wealthiest gangster
in a hundred worlds, master of a vast crime empire and keeper of a
viscious, flesh-eating monster for entertainment (and disposal of his
enemies). Bloated and sinister, Jabba the Hutt might have made a good
joke - if he weren't so dangerous. A cast of soldiers, spies, assassins,
scoundrels, bounty hunters, and pleasure seekers have come to his palace,
and every visitor to Jabba's grand abode has a story. Some of them may
even live to tell it......
Some characters and their motivations.
Malakili - The professional monster trainer was transferred from
the Circus Horificus to care for Jabba's pet Rancor. But the voracious
carnivore was only the second most dangerous best in the palace.
Melvosh Bloor - The academic came to study Jabba at his palace
- and discovered a new meaning for "Publish or Perish".
Oola the Dancer - Despite the chain around her neck, her grace was
her glory. As Jabba drooled and tugged upon her chain, she stood her
ground - on the edge of eternity.
Gartogg the Gamorrean - Dim-witted, friendless, the palace guard
patrolled the ill-lit back hallways where nothing ever happened. Now he
has a chance to solve a murder, make a name for himself, and make some
new, if decidedly odd friends.
Bib Fortuna - Jabba's majordomo had big plans for himself - to
overtrow the Hutt and take over his palace and his riches. But a tratior
should be careful, for those involved in his plot may have plans of their
own.
Boba Fett - Famous as the galaxy's fiercest bounty hunter, he learned
firsthand about the slow death faced by the unfortunates who landed in the
Great Pit of Carkoon - and how mercy and vengeance are sometimes the same
thing.
