Preens B'oola

"As you must now know, your courier has failed to deliver these government documents. If you wish to get them back, you must bring me 1,000,000 credits. I await your response."

―Preens B'oola^[2]

Preens B'oola was a male Twi'lek criminal who lived on Corellia during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, B'oola was leading a group of thugs active around Coronet City.^[2] In 1 ABY,^[1] Preens B'oola assassinated a courier working for the Corellian government in a street of Coronet City. His objective was to steal the government documents that the courier was carrying for ransom. Gallura Handerin, a government aide at the Coronet Capitol, thus tasked a spacer with finding the missing courier. The spacer eventually found the dead courier and a message from B'oola, asking for a huge ransom of 1,000,000 credits. The spacer, who was also working as a CorSec agent for Lieutenant Mack Jasper, tracked Preens B'oola to his camp on the outskirts of Coronet City and finally killed him to recover the government documents.^[2]
