The Zhug brothers were Duros bounty hunters cast out from Duro after attempting to wipe out a rival, politically connected ruling family around the era of the Jedi Civil War. They eventually settled on Nar Shaddaa, and began hunting for prey in the slums of the ecumenopolis. The Zhugs numbered in the hundreds, grouped not by blood but by their shared cause, and claimed that they were in fact a new "family," seeking to raise enough credits to seize Duro for their own.
Three of the brothers pursued the Jedi Exile's companions at the landing pad of the freighter Ebon Hawk during its stay on Nar Shaddaa in 3,951 BBY, attacking Bao-Dur, Kreia, Visas Marr, and Atton Rand. Instead of ambushing them, the brothers were unwise enough to issue foolish ultimatums and threats. The three hunters, including their leader Azanti Zhug, were dispatched, and none of the Exile's comrades were killed in the short, decisive exchange of fire. Eight more of the Zhugs boarded the Visionary after the Exile and her companions disabled its cloaking shield. They tried to kill the skillful Jedi, but once again they failed.
The Exile's final encounter with the brothers was on the Onderonian moon of Dxun, where the Ebon Hawk was forced to land after the First Battle of Onderon. There, she was confronted by three Zhug brothers led by Dezanti Zhug whose ship had been damaged in the battle. They attempted to claim the bounty put on the Exile, but were similarly defeated.
