Biography

Never content to remain stationary, Drooga—often seen sporting a computer interface lens over one eye—roamed around the moon aboard his opulent pleasure barge, indulging in whatever momentary fancy struck him. True to his moniker, he hosted grandiose feasts, sometimes boasting upwards of twenty-seven courses.

The origins of Drooga's vast fortune are shrouded in mystery, but his extravagant spending habits were legendary across Nar Shaddaa. Also legendary was his unquenchable thirst for novel and bizarre forms of entertainment. It was rumored that the sole prerequisite for gaining access to his pleasure barge was the ability to amuse Drooga. However, he was as quick to tire of people as he was to welcome them into his presence for his amusement, even the most outlandish and peculiar members of his entourage.

On one occasion, the Devaronian con artist Tyresius Lokai incurred Drooga's wrath. After staging his own death, Lokai, now operating under the alias Gault Rennow, arranged for his deceased duplicate to be auctioned off to his former adversaries. Among the bidders present was Drooga, one of six Hutts in attendance.

Drooga struck a deal with a Human smuggler named Risha: a prototype starship engine in exchange for an exceedingly rare creature known as a shanjaru. Risha managed to procure what was believed to be the last male shanjaru in the galaxy. A well-known smuggler captain met with Drooga on his pleasure barge, only to discover that the Hutt was unwilling to complete the trade. Drooga's female shanjaru had been pilfered, and he insisted on acquiring a matching pair or nothing at all. The smuggler negotiated an agreement with Drooga's assistant Ga'ram to recover the female and complete the set, thereby obligating Drooga to fulfill his end of the bargain. As it turned out, the avaricious Hutt had no intention of repopulating the species; his sole desire was to consume them, believing it would be the most unique culinary experience imaginable.

Drooga maintained Bowdaar, the Wookiee, as his personal gladiator to settle the debts of a gambler. He confined Bowdaar to a cage between matches and subjected him to cruel and petty treatment. Drooga was displeased that Bowdaar dispatched his opponents too swiftly, depriving him of the full entertainment value of the spectacles. He implemented numerous measures to disadvantage Bowdaar, such as withholding weapons, draining half of his blood to weaken him, and even resorting to outright poisoning. Ultimately, Drooga resolved to eliminate the Wookiee in a final, grand fight to the death against his pet gundark, which he had deliberately starved for the occasion. The smuggler captain aided Bowdaar in his battle against the gundark, simultaneously enraging Drooga and providing him with suitable entertainment for the evening. Once the gundark was defeated, Drooga concluded that the Wookiee was no longer worth the expense of maintaining him and simply released him.

One of the most remarkable feats of sanitation in the galaxy occurred during Drooga's 600th birthday celebration. A lone vibromop successfully cleaned up the aftermath of the party, despite being designed for smaller, domestic tasks. In recognition of the vibromop's service, which did not survive the ordeal, Drooga's janitorial staff held a private ceremony to honor the tool.
