Skirmish between Progga and the Bargain Hunter


A skirmish occurred between Hutt Progga in his starship and Dubrak Qennto's starship, the Bargain Hunter, it took place in 27 BBY, in the Unknown Regions, specifically in an unidentified star system, and in the Outer Rim Territories, as Qennto and his starship were able to escape through hyperspace and the Hutt tracked them. However, when Progga was going to destroy Dubrak, Chiss forces fired a Conner net at both starships, which prompted Progga to defend himself, and enter a skirmish against the Chiss.

Prelude


A skirmish started when Progga in his starship attacked the Bargain Hunter which had Dubrak Qennto as captain and a crew consisting of Maris Ferasi and Jorj Car'das. Progga did this in an attempt to hijack the Bargain Hunter and steal their cargo of rare furs and Firegems.

The Battle


Progga tracked Qennto twice through hyperspace but he was never able to hit the Bargain Hunter directly with his ship's blaster fire. The second time the Bargain Hunter made a hyperspace jump to try and get away its hyperdrive over heated because of a nullifier problem and finally, after over four hour of working, Quennto got it shut down without slagging it. The Bargain Hunter ended up near a star cluster. They decided to use their backup hyperdrive to make a jump to the nearest star system which was a fourth light-year away. They came out near a yellow sun but were unpleasantly surprised when Progga showed up right behind them and hailed them over the ships' comm systems. Progga mistakenly assumed they had a hidden base on the nearby planet and demanded for Quennto to lead him to it.

Aftermath


Before Progga and Qennto finished talking the Chiss fired a Conner net at both of the ships. While the Bargain Hunter was place out of commission, Progga's starship was built to resist the Conner nets. Progga, prepared to fight, turned his starship around to confront the beings who had launched the nets, and what issued was the Skirmish between Progga and Picket Force Two.

Behind the scenes


The Skirmish between Progga and the Bargain Hunter was described in Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn in 2006, but it was not given a name.
