Meet Iaco Stark

An Expanded Universe Character from Dark Horse Comics'

Star Wars #36-39, The Stark Hyperspace War.

By Cory Herndon

A charismatic rogue with an evil streak, Iaco Stark formed a coalition of

pirates, smugglers, and lawbreakers that rivaled the mighty Trade
Federation 10 years before the Battle of Naboo. His Stark Commercial
Combine maintained its own fleet of ships that proved instrumental in the
conflict that would come to be known as the Stark Hyperspace War.

Stark's leadership abilities were rivaled only by his supreme arrogance -

and, unfortunately for his enemies, he was very nearly as good at the game
as he thought he was.
