Sniquux, a Rodian working for Jabba the Hutt, had the job of eliminating all the t'landa Til priests living in Colony Nine on Ylesia. He carried out this task by setting up monofilament wire in the courtyard. This was the location where a number of priests and their companions were enjoying a walk. Then, he activated a recording from long ago of a thota, a predator native to the t'landa Til's home planet, Varl. The priests became frightened and rushed directly into the trap, where the nearly unseen wires tore them apart. Tarrz, the chief Sacredot, was among those who died. Sniquux was one of the various hired guns and killers who paved the path for the Rebel attack called the Battle of Ylesia.
