Aak, infamous Toydarian slaver, has been in several tense situations, some of them known to our readers. Usually though he seems to manage to defuse the tension without violence breaking out.

Not so last night when he was visiting the Lucky Despot in Mos Eisley. While the toydarian was talking with a twi'lek anti-slavery activist his bodyguard Ansiwa suddenly noticed a droid that was behaving in an odd manner. He came to the conclusion that there was an assassin hidden in the casino - and was proven true in a brutal way when he was suddenly stabbed from behind and collapsed to the floor, bleeding.

The wounded bodyuard was stabilized by the quick reaction of the medic Bee, who had been enjoying the show on stage, and Agald, who both provided first aid while others started to hunt the assassin, but quickly losing sight of him in the numerous rooms of the casino, despite the alleged use of a flame thrower by an unideintified twi'lek.

This allowed the assassin to return and shoot Agald from behind. Only his helmet saved his life, and only the stimulants provided by Bee allowed Agald fight back. In the rpoicess he got wounded further before he managed to corner the assassin and knock him out.



Aak, the likely target of the assassin, had remained protected by some of his entourage and associates, among them Haruka Toyomasde, during the fighting and was unhurt. The fate of the assassin remains unknown, but some unconfirmed reports claim that Agald saved his life after mutilating him. Given the timing of the events there is some suspicion that the presence of a anti-slavery activist was not entirely coincidental, but others claim that this was an attack by rival slavers given the tensions among the various slaving organisations.
