Iaco Stark was a smuggler-turned-leader of the Stark Commercial Combine, as well as the individual responsible for the Stark Hyperspace War. He was killed at the end of the war. As a smuggler, he raided and stole from vessels belonging to the Trade Federation shipping cartel, only to sell them to the people of the Outer Rim at prices lower than the Federation’s. This made him a hero to a number of people in the Outer Rim Territories.
