Lokmarcha Lokmarcha was male Dressellian soldier who served as a Major in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War . He was killed during the Operation Yellow Moon mission . Biography . Galactic Civil War . Lokmarcha was a major in the Alliance to Restore the Republic ' s commando s . He was assigned as security during Operation Yellow Moon by Crix Madine . During the mission briefing , he attempted to assert that he was in control during combat conditions , but Leia Organa explained that she was in charge at all times . He grudgingly agreed with her . During the flight to Basteel , he and Kidi Aleri had an argument over what should be done to Imperials if the Empire was defeated . While she hoped they would be treated mercifully , he advocated that they should be tried and killed . Organa broke up the argument and took Lokmarcha aside to admonish him for arguing with a team member . He explained that was just trying to toughen Aleri up so she wouldn ' t freeze when she saw combat . He then revealed that he knew Operation Yellow Moon was a diversionary tactic and was ordered by Organa not to reveal that fact to any other of the team . On their approach to Eladro City , Lokmarcha warned the claustrophobic Antrot that he probably wouldn ' t like it there much . Basteel . Once they landed , Lokmarcha accompanied the rest of his team to the city . He was worried that the crowds in the local bazaar would make it hard for him to protect Organa . After leaving the rest of the team in the bazaar , he went with Organa to Bon Yoth ' s house to make contact with the former rebel . When Yoth tried to prevent them from entering his home , the commando forced his way in . Yoth refused to help the rebellion , and Lokmarcha called him scared . While Yoth declined to rejoin the rebellion , he did show Organa and Lokmarcha a way to get to the surface and plant a hyper - transceiver beacon by crawling up his chimney into the network of vents and tunnels that ran through the rock . Organa stated the Antrot and Aleri would have to go with them , and Lokmarcha doubted they were tough enough to make the difficult climb . Organa insisted that they come along , in case she needed their technical skills and sent Lokmarcha back to the bazaar to fetch them . Once they were all back together , Lokmarcha took lead and climbed up the chimney first . When they reached an intersection of tunnels , he scouted around while the others rested and found another chimney that could lead them to the surface . After the beacon was placed , Aleri entered several Alliance codes by memory into the beacon . Lokmarcha scolded her for memorizing codes , explaining that if she was captured , the Empire would be able to learn all of them from her . When they reached the surface , Lokmarch huddled with the others under a sheet of insulation that Antrot had while waiting for Nien Nunb to arrive in his ship . Lokmarcha was rescued along with the rest of the team and safely made if off the planet . Sesid . On the way to the next destination , Lokmarcha busied himself by sharpening a large knife while the rest of the team watched a unauthorized holofeed showing the Imperial crackdown on Basteel . Aleri revealed that the codes they were using might be compromised and Lokmarcha watched closely to see if Organa would reveal the true nature of Operation Yellow Moon . Once they landed on Sesid , Lokmarcha remarked that he preferred this planet over Basteel . Nunb suggested that they change into clothes more appropriate to the tourist nature of the planet , and Lokmarcha had to wear an outfit consisting of purple shorts , a t - shirt advertising a local smazzo band and polarized eye lenses . He had to store his weapons and armor in a duffel bag . The team rented a repulsorcraft and Lokmarcha commented on how frivolous the tourists seemed when worrying about the local weather while a galactic war was taking place but Aleri reminded him that is what the rebellion was fighting for . Lokmarcha admitted he hadn ' t thought of it that way . He pilot ed the craft to the rendezvous point so that Organa could meet her contact and the rest of the team could place the beacon . When they arrived at the island , Lokmarcha came to the conclusion that he should accompany Antrot and Aleri to the top of the volcano to place the beacon , but was hesitant to leave Organa alone since his mission was to protect her , not the others . Organa ordered him to go with Antrot and Aleri , explaining that she could take care of herself but the tech and the communications specialist weren ' t so capable . After placing the beacon , Lokmarcha returned to find Organa asleep on the beach . The team boarded their replusorcraft and started to head back to Thrinaka when they were warned by Nunb that Imperials had landed and were searching the town . Lokmarcha took evasive action and told Organa to get a set of electrobinoculars to look for enemies . She spotted Stormtrooper s on waveskimmer s and switch places with Lokmarcha , so that he could fire on their pursuers . When the prince ss steered their craft into a submersible that surfaced in front of them , Lokmarcha warned against it since it was unknown who was on - board it but Organa reasoned that it was safer than being shot at by the Imperials . The vehicle submerged and escaped the Imperials but Lokmarcha and his team were confronted by the Draedan pirate Aurelant and his crew . Lokmarcha moved to protect the princess , but she told him to stand down since they were heavily out - numbered . He was disarmed and watched as Organa negotiated with the pirates . Lokmarcha and the rest of the rebels were able to escape the planet with Aurelant ' s assistance . Jaresh . Lokmarcha and the rest of the team landed near Jowloon and went to meet their contact on the planet , Nyessa . As they walked through the village , Aleri pointed out some stormtroopers on patrol , but Lokmarcha warned her not to draw attention to themselves . Once they met the matriarch of the village , she loaned them a pair of urda s so they could ride up to the communication tower and plant a beacon . Lokmarcha rode one of the beasts with Aleri , while Organa took the other with Antrot . At the tower , Aleria realized it wasn ' t a transmitter but a conduit , and worried their signal would get lost in all the traffic . Lokmarcha encouraged her to improvise a method to make their signal more detectable . While Aleri and Antrot were busy , Lokmarcha met with Organa to discuss Nyessa ' s plan to oppose the Imperial presence on the planet . He convinced the princess that they had to follow through on the plan to make sure they kept the Empire ' s attention on them and away from the fleet . Once Aleri was done placing the beacon , Organa had a crisis of conscience and decided to reveal the true nature of Operation Yellow moon despite Lokmarcha ' s objections . The rest of the team agreed with the princess and agreed to help defend Nyessa . Lokmarcha took a sniper ' s position in a barn overlooking the square where Nyessa and her people would confront the Imperials . After Antrot set off a charge to startle the animals corralled in the square , Lokmarcha shot off the lock so that they would stampede over the Imperials . When some of the forces were able to avoid the animals , Organa decided to directly fight them . The commando demanded that she stay hid in the barn , so that he could protect her but she told him to just shoot anyone who came near her . During the skirmish , he shot several stormtroopers . Yellow Moon . Once they were safely in hyperspace on their way to the rendezvous , Lokmarcha raised objections to Organa ' s plan to meet with any ships that responded to the placed beacons and warn them off . He pointed out that the Empire could break the codes and would realize the full extent of Operation Yellow Moon . Aleri came up with an idea to use a tight - beam broadcast so the signal couldn ' t be overheard . Later , as the trip continued , Lokmarcha and Aleri shared a romantic embrace on the acceleration couch . As they were ambushed by the " Shieldmaiden " , Lokmarcha told Antrot and Organa to hold off on their plan to self - destruct the " Mellcrawler " and explained he had his own plan . He also revealed that he found out about Organa ' s plan due to Antrot ' s tendency to talk in his sleep . He was captured along with his crewmates and imprisoned on the Star Destroyer . He told Khione that he would reveal all the he knew if he could see Organa . The Captain determined he would not , but allowed him to enter Organa ' s cell so that the princess would be forced to watch as an interrogation droid torture d him . He then detonated an electromagnetic pulse bomb that he had implanted in his chest , killing him instantly and disabling a large part of the Star Destroyer . This enabled Organa and the rest of her team to escape . Legacy . Lokmarcha was initially going to lead the mission to destroy the second Death Star ' s shield generator on Endor . But after his death during Operation Yellow Moon he was replaced by General Han Solo . Personality and traits . Lokmarcha was coldly pragmatic . He had no problems with sentients being killed if it was for the greater good . He also believed that in the event of the Alliance to Restore the Republic ' s victory , all former Galactic Empire personnel should face trials and be executed . He took pride in the fact that he always did his duty . Skills and abilities . Lokmarcha was extremely skilled at combat , familiar with blaster s and knives .
