Speaks was a male individual who worked as a translator for Riboga the Hutt. Circa 21 BBY, Speaks transported the Heroes of Cularin, a group of freelance agents whom Riboga wanted to meet with, through the streets of the city Tolea Biqua on the planet Genarius to the sail barge Riboga's Barge, from where Riboga planned to speak to the agents via a holographic transmission. On arrival at the Barge, Speaks translated the words spoken by Riboga to the agents from Huttese to Galactic Basic Standard.
