Uli-ah Gafsa was a Jawa that was found by a Sand Person storyteller in the aftermath of a sandstorm. He was raised by the old storyteller as a member of the Sand People. Uli-ah soon learned the stories of the Gafsa Tribe and surpassed his adoptive father, meaning that it was time to make a story of his own. However, his unique circumstances prompted him to have a difficult "Koroght Argg Ur'uli-ah," or "Blessing of the Adolescents." It meant that he must surpass all others in the tribe by doing more than any of them combined. He had to leave Tatooine and travel amongst the stars. He did indeed leave Tatooine and seen many stars in his travels.

Gafsa fell into a life of crime, and would in time come to lead the Elipsis pirate syndicate. Under Gafsa's leadership it came to be known asTwin Suns, a nod to his homeworld. Gafsa was a very notable and successful pirate, which often made him the target of governments, mercenaries, and former victims.

The Death of the Prince of Pirates, and elimination of Twin Suns

In Year 15, Uli-ah Gafsa was killed in a firefight resulting from a nearly year long successful sting by Alliance Special Operations which at the time was lead by former Hellion turned Rebel, Xakic Jix. Using Zibbi Hizk ASO infiltrated the pirate organization with the original intention of capturing Uli based on a bounty that had been placed on him by Helen Hawk. After some time on the operation agent Hizk discovered he could not only get the capture of Uli but potentially destroy the pirate organization outright, ending the several years legacy of both Twin Suns and Ellipsis Pirates outright. For the operation to work agent Hizk had to keep his hands clean of Uli’s blood, thus Seth Haze a fellow defector from Hellions and Zann was selected to carry out the writ of execution.

In the final hours of the operation a series of actions commenced starting with the capture of Dominic Siorin whom Uli had suspected of being an infiltrator within the faction for several weeks. Hizk seeing Uli’s paranoia of Siorin used this to his advantage and captured Siorin within a C-3 Passenger Liner and relocated to an unspecified location in deep space nearby Twin Suns territory and notified Uli that he had captured Siorin for him to come interrogate and potentially kill. Hizk also secretly contacted Haze who was at another unspecified deep space location nearby, and arrived hours after the notification and docked within the C3. with Uli following behind some hours later.

Uli boarded the ship through the C3’s docking port, and was informed by Hizk that Siorin was being held in the docking bay of the ship, unknowing to him he was moments away from disaster. Once both men had reached the docking bay Hizk slammed the bulkhead door shut and blasted the controls where Uli could not escape, and quickly made his way back to the cockpit of the ship to make a quick exit before any other Twin Sun pirates or allies could find out what had just happened. Inside the docking bay Uli came face to face with a captured Siorin and a fully armed Haze. Uli put up a noble fight but ultimately met his end at the hands of Seth who proved to be the more capable warrior. Siorin, for the time was spared.

Upon Uli’s death Hizk was able to further convince the Twin Suns pirates that he had no hand in Uli’s death and was thus moved to the head position of the organization, though this was a very brief. Hizk immediately began seizing assets and credits from the faction until there was nothing left and the organization collapsed, and Alliance Special Operations captured it all. Siorin was turned over to Xakic Jix on top of the Twin Suns entire trove. Unknown to both Haze and Hizk at the time Xakic had turned coat a second time betraying both Haze and Hizk and for reasons unknown allowed himself to be captured by Siorin who then stole the Alliance Special Operations and Twin Suns faction’s holdings in one fatal swoop.

Legacy

Uli-ah Gafsa never forgot his people or his homeworld. Outside of pirating, he was very active in the Jawa diaspora community and helped fund efforts to educate the galaxy about Jawa language and culture. His most successful venture was beginning the Jawa Swap Meet. This gathering was modeled after the swap meets on his homeworld, and what began as an effort to unite all Jawas who had left Tattooine quickly attracted the attention of merchants from across the galaxy. Friends of Uli-ah sought to honor his memory by rebranding the meet as the Uli-ah Gafsa Memorial Swap Meet, which is still held year after year.
