A Human male , Salarr joined the Black Sun criminal syndicate on the planet Coruscant and , by 3643 BBY , during the Cold War between the Sith Empire , had achieved a leadership position in the organization . That year , the Sith Lord Tarnis — who was posing as the Republic scientist Doctor Eli Tarnis — approached Salarr with an offer to secure the criminal gang ' s services in exchange for advanced Imperial weapons and armor . Salarr agreed to the deal , and the Sith had Salarr hire the Rodian thief Vistis Garn to steal superweapon plans from a military warehouse . When Tarnis felt that his cover was in danger of exposure , he had Salarr arrange for his own " kidnapping " by Black Sun . Salarr ' s forces infiltrated the Senate Tower and incapacitated Tarnis ' s guards before escorting the scientist to the nearby Senate Plaza taxi station . Salarr ' s lieutenant Zeer led the group to the nearby Coruscant Spaceport , where they barricaded themselves in one of the docking bays as a distraction for the Coruscant Security Force . Meanwhile , Tarnis himself left his Black Sun allies at the taxi station — but instead of heading to Black Sun territory as planned , he headed to the territory of his other allies , the paramilitary Justicars ' Brigade . When Zeer was finally captured , he gave up Tarnis ' s supposed location , so CSF Sergeant Nidaljo led a special tactical unit to rescue the doctor . Salarr ' s men easily repelled the CSF forces with their Imperial weaponry , driving off the police officers who attempted to set up a perimeter around the gang ' s headquarters . However , Salarr was enraged when a young Jedi Knight arrived to aid the CSF officers . After deactivating the base ' s security systems , the Knight and police officers stormed Salarr ' s headquarters from opposite directions . The furious criminal contacted Tarnis and demanded aid and explanation , and was angered when Tarnis abandoned Black Sun to the Jedi . The Knight and the Jedi ' s astromech droid , T7 - O1 , reached Salarr first , and , though Salarr signaled one of his men to shoot the Jedi in the back , Nidaljo ' s unit arrived just in time to dispatch Salarr ' s man before the Knight was shot . In the firefight that followed , Salarr and his other subordinates were killed by the Jedi and the police officers . Personality and traits . A bald man with fair skin and brown eyes , Salarr had both a large scar and a dark tattoo across the right side of his face . Salarr was a hardened criminal , but he was furious when Tarnis , his apparent ally , abandoned him to the Jedi and the CSF ; he also refused to surrender , even in the face of overwhelming numbers .
