Storyline Synopsis

Within the confines of Jabba's Palace resides J'Quille, a spy and assassin. He is meticulously executing his deliberate scheme to assassinate Jabba by corrupting Phlegmin, the kitchen servant, to contaminate Jabba's meals. Nevertheless, J'Quille finds himself the target of blackmail, as someone is aware of his intentions, and he has already been compelled to disburse 10,000 credits to maintain their silence. Consequently, J'Quille is compelled to expedite his strategy while simultaneously endeavoring to unmask the blackmailer. His scheme collapses entirely when Phlegmin is killed, leaving J'Quille with only a solitary opportunity to dispatch Jabba.
