Malak's slavers[1] |
Malak was a female Rodian slaver during the Rebellion era[2] and during the early years of the New Republic.[1] Malak was easily recognized because she had lost some of the spikes on her head, and she wore a number of valuable rings on her hands.[1]
A violent person who despised sentients from other species, Malak worried only for the money, not for the shape or lives of the "products" she sold - although she also accepted private contracts for "specialty goods". She was known to capture exotic species, usually by commanding her own team in incursions against unwarned, unprotected villages. She used a probably illegal modified slaver snare weapon and magnacuffs in her living preys, and was an accomplished torturer. [1]
She was wanted for kidnapping and conspiracy to enslave sentients, and she was a suspect of piracy charges. She however justified herself by saying (in a language other than Basic, probably Rodese) that there was a niche market for her business. [1]
In or circa 1 BBY, Malak attacked Byss and captured native Abyssin Myo[2] (Notice that Abyssins were a common target for slavers)[3]. In 1 BBY, Malak made a stop in the Kinun Depot to refuel her ship. Myo took his chance and escaped from the slaver.[2]
Malak was still at large and active as of 6 ABY.[1]
[edit] Behind the scenes
"Malak" is an Arabic name given to both males and females, meaning "angel." It bears the same meaning in Hebrew, along with "messenger of God," or simply "messenger." [4][5]
