Tarolba

"If ya got an itch ya need scratchin', take the "Longarm special". Go Dug tonight."

- Tarolba's advice to his working girls

Tarolba, known as Longarm Tarolba, was a male Dug who operated as a pimp and the proprietor of the Traveler's Rest Inn on Coruscant.

Pimp career
"Yer services are much in demand, Viqi-sul. Wanted at the highest levels o' the New Republic."

- Tarolba, to Leia Organa

A wily Dug, "Longarm" Tarolba found success as a bartender and later worked as a pimp and owner of the Coruscant spaceport brothel the Traveler's Rest Inn. He employed numerous prostitutes, known as the Slan Street girls, including Teetee, Narra Tynn, Kalorys, and the so-called "Viqi of Voorson", who was secretly Senator Leia Organa in disguise. Kalorys believed that Tarolba never learned the truth, though Narra was the first to figure out Leia's secret, having spent the most time with her and Han Solo. He earned the nickname "Longarm" for the size of his penis.

Although he paid his girls well, Tarolba enjoyed receiving "alternative payment" from his hookers in the form of fellatio in order to take half a night's takings and reduce his standard protection fee. He called this the "Longarm special", and recommended his girls "go Dug" for the night. He also employed the Gran bouncer Mak Loe, and had Doctor Reshir give medical exams to his girls. He kept a couple of speeders for his girls to attend the few escort jobs they acquired, and added opaque force-windows to one on Leia's suggestion.

Following Leia's opening of the Imperial Archives, Tarolba greeted "Viqi" outside the Traveler's Rest with news of a client requesting her services. As Organa regarded the datapad containing her summons, Tarolba remarked that her services were in demand by the highest levels of the New Republic. It transpired that Organa's friend Amilyn Holdo had grown suspicious of Leia's shadow career, and arranged a meeting in the Republic Executive Building to discern the truth. Afterwards, "Viqi" resumed her hooking for Tarolba.

Legacy
"Narra figured it out first, but she was with them the most often. But the word spread within a few years to the rest of us, even if I don't think Tarolba ever figured it out. Probably for the best."

- Kalorys, on Viqi of Voorson's secret identity

Tarolba handed over his consortium to Mak Loe, who inherited the Traveler's Rest and owned it as of the Hosnian Cataclysm and the First Order's seizure of power. In the wake of the attack, brothels like the Traveler's Rest saw increased custom as millions fled to the former capitol's spaceports seeing safe haven. In the Vibrating Ring on Melidon Lane, Kalorys discussed her time with Leia as Tarolba's girls amid commemorations and remembrances of Han Solo, who was killed during the Battle of Starkiller Base.

Description
"Hello, baby. You have a job for me? I hope it's long...and hard."

- Leia Organa

Tarolba had mottled fore-legs and walked with a cavalier limp, and had fleshy barbels hanging from his leathery snout under his gaunt cheeks. He had a huge, crooked penis whose size earned him his nickname. He spoke Galactic Basic laced with Huttese words, and referred to "Viqi" as "Viqi-sul", using the Huttese suffix that, while not strictly accurate terminology, aroused her.

Tarolba was wily, and was one of the few pimps in the Newport area not to mark his girls or inflict violence on them.

Behind the scenes
"Longarm" Tarolba first appeared in Legends erotica, making his debut in Das Flute's Legends erotic fiction "Spaceport Whore" as the Dug pimp of Leia Organa during her time as "Viqi of Voorson". He was introduced into erotica canon with mentions in Flute's "The Living Legend", and later appeared briefly in Kooriv's "Viqi's Resolve".
