CharactersBoushh
An Ubese bounty hunter contracted to work for Prince Xizors criminal Black Sun organization. Boushh eventually allowed his greed to surpass his good judgment and he crossed Black Sun. For this transgression, he was murdered. Princess Leia subsequently assumed Boushhs identity in order to infiltrate Black Sun and later, Jabba the Hutts palace. Virtually nothing has been revealed about Boushh aside from his connections to Black Sun and the acknowledgment of his untimely death. He was an Ubese who spoke in a strange metallic voice and wore a helmet presumably equipped with numerous sensors, a macrobinocular viewplate, and other gadgets. Although a skilled bounty hunter, he eventually tried to charge Black Sun more than he was owed after completing a mission for the group. Rather than trifle with Boushh, Prince Xizor simply had him eliminated. Shadows of the Empire reveals that Boushhs rank costume fell into the hand of Xizors android, Guri, who in turn supplied Princess Leia with the suit. Fortunately, Leia had a working knowledge of Ubese and convincingly portrayed the bounty hunter. When Leia arrived at Jabbas palace, even Boba Fett was fooled by her disguise. Eventually, however, the ruse was discovered and Boushh was finally allowed to rest in peace.
