―Huff Darklighter, to a spacer^[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Huff Darklighter's niece resided at the Darklighter estate, on the planet Tatooine. During that time, Jabba the Hutt began to capture people on Tatooine in order to sell them as slaves.^[1] In 1 ABY,^[2] Huff Darklighter's niece was among a group of people kidnapped by Jabba's thugs. However, she quickly managed to escape with others and called her uncle for help with her comlink. Huff Darklighter soon dispatched a spacer to rescue the woman before Jabba's henchmen tracking her showed up. The spacer found the woman lost in the desert and escorted her back safely to the Darklighter estate. The woman was really shocked by this experience but she was able to explain the whole story to her uncle. Huff Darklighter later paid the spacer to eliminate the criminal leading Jabba's slaving ring.^[1]
