Tassaa Bareesh, a crime lord of the Hutt species, functioned as the leading female figure of the Bareesh Cartel, with her base of operations located on Nal Hutta.
Circa 3643 BBY, Tassaa initiated an auction where exceptionally valuable and uncommon metal artifacts were up for sale. She extended invitations to both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, intending for them to engage in competitive bidding.
Following an unsuccessful attempt, a conflict erupted between Jedi Padawan Shigar Konshi and Sith Acolyte [Eldon Ax]. This confrontation was brief, concluding with their arrest after significant portions of the palace suffered theft and destruction at the hands of a Mandalorian named Dao Stryver. Shigar successfully persuaded them of his innocence; nevertheless, he was compelled to enter into a contract with the matriarch. As per the terms of their agreement, the Padawan was tasked with locating the thief and recovering the stolen navicomputer.
This chain of events ultimately resulted in the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire forging a collaborative alliance to confront a hex droid army on Sebaddon. Despite these efforts, Shigar did not fulfill his commitment to Bareesh, as he was unable to recover the stolen item. Consequently, Bareesh was left with no alternative but to place a bounty on the Padawan.
