From the Expanded Universe

The Ongree species possesses flexible eyestalks that allow them to see an object from multiple angles. Perhaps because of this ability, the Ongree mindset is to examine a situation from all possible perspectives, making them effective politicians, diplomats, and negotiators.

As demonstrated by Acros-Krik, the corrupt mayor of Coruscant's Uscru District, the mindset is also valuable for activities that are decidedly more criminal in nature.

Mayor Acros-Krik came to power through an election rigged by Black Sun operatives. In return, he used his position to gain valuable information for the criminal syndicate. Because of Uscru District's close proximity to the Senate rotunda, Acros-Krik had considerable access to highly placed Republic officials. The Uscru District ran deep into Coruscant's lower levels. While the upper tiers had more polished entertainment venues like the Galaxies Opera House, the lower levels had seamier locales. Not surprisingly, Republic officials sampled from both ends of this spectrum, and for preferred treatment in areas both shady and well lit, they came to Mayor Acros-Krik.

One of the more subtly effective tools Acros-Krik had at his disposal was a trio of attractive human females he would offer up as guides to targets he wanted monitored. The Nalle triplets reported back to the mayor any useful information their guests may have foolishly divulged.

During Acros-Krik's many years in office, the lower levels of the Uscru District festered with illegal activity. Acros-Krik himself had ties with the Baath brothers and other unsavory characters. But unlike some of the other criminals operating in the shadows, Acros-Krik was a boisterous, gregarious fellow who liked to be viewed by the denizens of his district as a father figure who made all things possible. His connections with both Black Sun and the Republic government afforded him this confidence, though some in Black Sun were becoming concerned that Acros-Krik was attracting unwanted attention.
