Talon Karrde says, "Do you recall that Rodian who tried to interfere with our last bit of business? Not long after you left that slicer, Ara Niorri, the Rodian's partner killed her. Ara was a gifted woman, and I do not take kindly to associates being murdered. Will you be my tool of vengeance?"

You say, "Why did the Rodian attack me and kill Ara? Who sent them?"

Talon Karrde says, "Ah, answering that question is my current priority. I suspect a certain Hutt rival elsewhere on Corellia. She likes to keep her own hands clean nowadays, but she sends others to do the dirtiest possible work. Will you avenge Ara?"

You say, "Yes."

Talon Karrde says, "Good, I didn't think you'd let this offense stand unanswered. The Rodian's name is Vralla. I'd be careful of her -- you foiled her partner, so she may be looking for you."

I killed her and got some bad thug faction (-70), good townsperson faction (+30).

Talon Karrde says, "So the lady Hutt was involved in this. Just as I suspected. I believe I'll have to discourage her from playing in my affairs.
