Hondo Ohnaka and his gang first attracted the attention of the Jedi when the pirates captured Count Dooku on the desolate Outer Rim planet Vanqor. One glance at Dooku’s rare, expensive starship told Hondo the count would fetch a healthy ransom. He agreed to transport Dooku to the nearby planet Florrum … for a small fee, of course.

    • Hondo Ohnaka and his gang first attracted the attention of the Jedi when the pirates captured Count Dooku on the desolate Outer Rim planet Vanqor. One glance at Dooku’s rare, expensive starship told Hondo the count would fetch a healthy ransom. He agreed to transport Dooku to the nearby planet Florrum … for a small fee, of course.
    • On Vanqor, Dooku revealed himself as a Sith Lord. But Hondo wasn’t intimidated – whatever powers Dooku possessed, he was still hopelessly outnumbered. Hondo knew exactly whom he’d captured and guessed that the Republic would pay a pretty price for its enemy.
    • Hondo contacted Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, asking for a million credits in spice as ransom. Palpatine dispatched Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to verify that Hondo’s pirates had Dooku in custody.
    • Anakin and Obi-Wan confirmed that Hondo was indeed holding Dooku and waited for the ransom to arrive from Coruscant. In the meantime, the two were Hondo’s guests at a raucous pirate banquet – where their drinks were spiked despite taking precautions. They awoke as the pirate’s prisoners.
    • Hondo intended to honor his deal with the Republic – a million credits in spice would give his criminal aspirations a big boost. But he also saw a chance to collect two more ransoms by selling Skywalker and Kenobi to the Separatists. Why settle for one ransom when he could get three?
    • To Hondo’s annoyance, the three Force-users kept trying to escape. If only they would cooperate, Hondo would get his credits and they could all go back to being friends. Annoyed that his unique brand of hospitality had been rejected, Hondo tormented the captive Jedi with electric shocks.
    • An unlikely rescue mounted by Jar Jar Binks and a Republic squad let Anakin and Obi-Wan turn the tables on Hondo. But Dooku had made his own escape, fleeing Florrum in one of Hondo’s ships. To Hondo’s surprise, the Jedi departed without taking revenge on the pirates. But Obi-Wan warned Hondo that Dooku and the Separatists might not be so forgiving.
    • Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka Tano ran into Hondo again on Felucia, where the Ohnaka gang sought to rob a farming village of its valuable nysillin spice crop. To stop him, the Jedi joined forces with a band of four mercenaries led by Sugi.
    • The pirates’ biggest advantage was Hondo’s repulsortank. Anakin raced to disable it, and wound up dueling the pirate boss. The fight was a draw, and Hondo escaped to pursue better business deals elsewhere.
    • Hondo returned to Florrum, but his past caught up with him when Aurra Sing arrived with Republic hostages and the young bounty hunter Boba Fett in tow. Hondo allowed the two to take refuge with his pirates – he had once had a relationship with Aurra, and respected Boba’s father Jango as an honorable man. But he warned Aurra that he wouldn’t take sides in her quarrel with the Republic.
    • When Plo Koon and Ahsoka Tano arrived to rescue the hostages, Aurra Sing abandoned Boba and fled. Plo implored Boba to tell him where the hostages were. Boba wasn’t sure what to do, but Hondo counseled him that his father would have revealed the information, seeing it as the honorable thing to do.
    • Hondo could prove useful to the Republic when it was profitable for him to do so. With Steela Gerrera’s rebels in dire peril on Onderon, Anakin arranged for Hondo to fly in a shipment of powerful Sienar shoulder-launched missiles.
