- «Rejoice, wretched creatures. Your planet is now the property of the glorious Hutt Cartel.»
- ―Myarga, on Sedri Minor
Myarga Anjiliac Atirue,[5] known as Myarga the Benevolent, Myarga the Merciless,[6] Myarga the Blessed, or Myarga the Beautiful,[7] was a cyborg Hutt[6] female[3] who represented the Hutt Cartel during the time of the High Republic Era. She was responsible for proposing a bargain with Kalo Sulman, the leader of a settlement on the planet Sedri Minor,[2] that involved a Hutt trader transporting Vratixian barley from the planet.[8] The Hutt arrived on Sedri Minor to take control of the planet while several Jedi were undertaking an investigation[2] after finding the corpse of the trader on a derelict starship that had been attacked by the Nihil.[8] Landing on Sedri in a Hutt Cartel vessel, Myarga disembarked to announce the planet's takeover, flanked by Gamorreans atop rancors.[2]
Though she clashed with the Jedi at first, Myarga and her forces were eventually forced to ally with them when the hostile plants known as the Drengir attacked both parties in the middle of the fight.[6] After the defeat of the Drengir on Sedri Minor, the Hutt Clan and Jedi Order agreed to an alliance in order to put an end to the Drengir threat, and Myarga led her forces alongside the Jedi Marshall Avar Kriss for the next few months, waging war against the Drengir on planets such as Daivak.[9] The campaign against the Drengir ended with the defeat of the Drengir's Great Progenitor on Mulita in Wild Space, though Myarga was angered when the Jedi prevented her from killing the Progenitor and claiming its corpse as a trophy.[10]
Myarga was eventually captured by the Nihil pirates under the command of the Tempest Runner Zeetar and brought to him, where Zeetar ordered a new recruit—in actuality the undercover Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis—to prove herself by killing the Hutt with a hammer.[11] Even though Trennis caused a distraction that prevented her from having to kill Myarga, Myarga revealed that Trennis and Terec were undercover Jedi after being questioned by Zeetar. Shortly afterward, Tempest Runner Lourna Dee executed Myarga with a blaster shot to the head.[4]
