Probably not Mortis-the book leaves it ambiguous.

* ConservationOfNinjitsu: In the first chapter, two [[EliteMooks Nargons]] take out two Mandalorians and nearly do for Han, Leia, and their miner friend. Their effectiveness drops pretty rapidly, to the point where a YVH droid near the end is mowing down piles of them at a time.

Not that he killed her; he was just her last customer before being murdered, and they don't really know ''who'' killed her.

** Craitheus in particular is really bad at this. While Marvid bounces back and forth in doing intelligent things, Craitheus continually gets overly aggressive and makes choices that sabotage their long term plans - best exemplified in chapters that focus on Marvid.

''Star Wars Crucible'' is a novel written by Creator/TroyDenning and released in July 9, 2013. It takes place after ''Literature/FateOfTheJedi'' and ''X-Wing: Mercy Kill''. It stars Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa-Solo.

Han and Leia are at this one cantina called the Red Ronto, and waiting for Lando Calrissian to meet them and discuss the pirate problem in the Chiloon Rift where Lando had established his latest asteroid refinery. Naturally the meet does not go as planned. They do find out that the giant conglomerate Galactic Exploitation Technologies (GET) is involved in this, and inform Luke, who decides to look into it.
