Aak the Toydarian slaver seems to have a knack of making people mad at him - even and especially people with deep pockets and long reach. This is illustrated by the bounty Garubba the Hutt put out on the toydarian recently. Apparently the incentive was so big that two groups of bounty hunters fought each other in Red Sands to capture Aak a day ago, or so the rumor goes, with the winning side then capturing Aak and delivering him to the Hutt's palace.

The wily toydarian also has a knack for getting out of trouble though - which the follow-up illustrates. If rumors are to believed the same mercenaries that captured and delivered him in the first place then went around and let themselves be hired by Aak's friends in Red Sands to spring him from his new cell. According to the latest news they were as successful in this operation as they were in capturing, and the toydarian is now free, if currently in a med center getting treated for his injuries. Whether his injuries were the result of his capture, Garubba's hospitality, or caused during the rescue operation is not known at this point.

Garubba the Hutt though was said to proclaim that Aak will never be safe on Lok again.
