Thakba Besadii Diori is a Hutt criminal kingpin of the Besadii kajidic. He deals in spice and weaponry, and operates from a Besadii palace compound in the outskirts of Swanhan on Sleheyron.
He lives there in the company of his Devaronian majordomo, a group of of Gamorrean guard, and more.
The crew came to know Thakba by taking up a contract from the Hutt Lord to hunt down the Aqualish pirate Bandin Dobah, who had been trying to exert control over the flow of contraband and spice into and out of Formos.
In an effort to help the Rodian Zukata Vyero find her lost brother, Vreebo Vyero, the crew found themselves toe to toe with Bandin Dobah. After they managed to stop the Aqualish, they captured him and took him along back to Thakba on Sleheyron -- where the Hutt Lord forced Dobah to fight in a gladiatorial contest held at the Besadii palace. Dobah did not survive this contest.
