In 14 BBY , Mors served as the Imperial Moff of the Outer Rim planet of Ryloth . Her underling Colonel Belkor Dray grew frustrated with her leadership and collaborated with the Free Ryloth movement in an attempt to discredit her . Mors was caught up in a plot by Cham Syndulla to assassinate Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader . In an attempt to unseat her , Belkor collaborated with Cham . However , Mors and the two Sith Lord s outsmarted their opponents . Mors exacted revenge against Belkor and executed him . Biography . Moff of Ryloth . In the early days of the Empire ' s rule over the galaxy , Delian Mors ' wife , Murra , was killed in a transport accident . Around the same time , she was assigned to the Outer Rim planet of Ryloth , a post she considered undesirable . Her loss and her assignment felt like a burden , one that made her neglect some of her duties . A known spice addict , she lived a luxurious lifestyle on Ryloth ' s largest moon while assigning the day to day affairs of her position to her disgruntled underling Colonel Belkor Dray . Mors lived in a luxurious palace and was attended by green - skinned Twi ' lek servants Twi ’ lek servants , all women and all scantily clad , who moved like pale - green ghosts through the rooms . Mors chose only Twi ’ leks with pale - green skin for her household servants — the Moff refused to call them slaves , though none could leave . With Dray taken aback by Mors ' negligent lifestyle and shady contacts , he took it upon himself to actively support a growing resistance movement on the planet in an attempt to tarnish Mors ' reputation and place himself in command . Calm before the storm . In 14 BBY , Colonel Belkor visited Moff Mors at her luxurious palace on Ryloth ' s moon . The Moff was meeting with Nashi the Hutt , an envoy of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure . After Belkor arrived , Mors concluded her meeting with Nashi and allowed her to leave with three cases of Theenwine . When Nashi made a joke about Belkor in Huttese , Mors translated that he was as straight and rigid as a tree . Mors described Belkor as a young ambitious officer . Following Nashi ' s departure , Mors turned her attention to Belkor and asked if he despised her for her dealings with the Hutts and decadence . Belkor denied this was the case and claimed that rank came with privilege , concealing his disdain for her . Belkor then proceeded to deliver Mors his quarterly report , which the Moff took little interest in . When Mors inquired about the Free Ryloth " terrorists " , Belkor reported that he had dispatched his best assets to due with the case and that things on Ryloth had been quiet for a month . Mors then mentioned a recent failed attempt by the Free Ryloth Movement to hijack an Imperial weapons shipment . When Mors inquired about Belkor ' s counter - insurgency efforts , he reported that the insurgents had blended in with the local population and that killing innocents indiscriminately would only increase sympathy for the Free Ryloth Movement . Mors then mentioned that Senator Orn Free Taa would be returning to Ryloth within ten days . She speculated that the Emperor Palpatine had ordered him back to publicize the failed terrorist hijacking and to offer support for the Imperial occupation . Belkor volunteered to handle the Senator ' s welcoming . Before leaving , she told Belkor to lighten up and to enjoy life and to fetch her wine girl . Unknown to Mors , Belkor planned to arrange for the Free Ryloth Movement to assassinate Orn Free Taa so that he could pin the blame on Mors . Both were unaware that the Emperor and Darth Vader were accompanying Orn Free Taa as part of a plan to lure the Free Ryloth Movement out of hiding . Attack on the " Perilous " . After Cham Syndulla ' s forces ambushed and attacked the Imperial Star Destroyer " Perilous " , Belkor contacted Moff Mors via hologram . When Belkor reported the ambush , Mors chastised the Colonel for allowing a fleet of rebel ships to hold position at the edge of the Ryloth system . Belkor claimed his resources were limited and that they did not normally patrol that far out in the system . In truth , Belkor had diverted patrol craft and flight clearances in a way that had allowed Cham to move his ships into position . To ameliorate Mors , Belkor suggested calling for all available repair ships to give to the " Perilous " . Mors obliged and allowed Belkor to manage the relief effforts While Belkor went to dispatch repair ships , Mors conferred with another official and learned that the Emperor and Darth Vader were indeed aboard the " Perilous " . Knowing the Emperor and Vader ' s fearsome reputations , Mors was afraid that Despite her efforts , the " Perilous " was destroyed in orbit . Breehld informed Moff Mors of the news . This was a shocking development for Mors because this was the first time that an Imperial Star Destroyer had been destroyed . Mors feared that her career was in tatters as a result of the Star Destroyer ' s ambush . Mors then contacted Belkor who informed her that Lord Vader and the Emperor had escaped the " Perilous " destruction . Since there were many survivors landing in escape pod s , Belkor directed Breehld to assist in rescuing the Emperor and Vader . When Mors demanded to know why V - wing starfighters and rescue craft had not been diverted , Belkor claimed that he had delayed launching reinforcements to avoid colliding with the " Perilous " wreckage . Mors reasserted her authority and chastised Belkor for not consulting him . She also warned that he would answer for his failures once she had returned to Ryloth . Mors instructed Breehld to get them around the planet as fast they could . Upon approaching the wreckage of the " Perilous " , Mors discovered that the rescue ships had not arrived and that old Droid tri - fighter s were approaching the vicinity . Mors ' shuttle also narrowly avoided colliding with an Imperial escort ship that had been stolen by a group of Twi ' lek rebels led by Isval , Cham ' s lieutenant . Breehld was killed during the collision while Mors suffered a gash on her head when she hit a chair . Unknown to Mors , Belkor had transmitted her ship ID to Cham ' s rebels as part of a plot to assassinate her . Discovering a conspiracy . Mors survived the crash - landing and woke up on Ryloth ' s rocky surface . After reflecting on the earlier events , Mors realized that Belkor was feeding information to the Free Ryloth rebels . After attending to the dead Breehld , Mors flew her damaged shuttle to the Equatorial Communications Hub , which was commanded by her friend Major Steen Borkas . The Communications Hub had just been attacked by Isval ' s forces , who had damaged the station ' s communication dishes . After Mors established a visual connection , she was allowed to land at the Hub . Upon landing , Mors found that Borkas ' crew were repairing the damaged communications dishes . Borkas recounted that the rebels had hijacked the communications system and tricked his crew into lowering their shields . When Borkas offered his resignation , Mors reassured him that he was not to blame and told him that she needed every trusted worker to get the situation under control . After seeing that Breehld ' s body had been removed from the shuttle , Mors met with Borkas to discuss the sequence of events surrounding the attack on the " Perilous " . Borkas realized that the attack took a lot of coordination and asked if it was a coup attempt . After reflecting on the loss of Murra , Mors apologized for overlooking Borkas and promoting Belkor instead . Steen reassured her that he did not feel unfairly treated . Mors asked if she could rely on Borkas and he replied in the affirmative . Mors then disclosed her suspicions that Belkor was a traitor and that Vader and the Emperor had been aboard the stricken " Perilous " . Borkas revealed that he had intercepted a transmission indicating that the rebels knew that Vader and the Emperor had escaped on a shuttle . While Mors led a search party to find the Sith Lords , she instructed Borkas to repair the communications net and to summon reinforcements . She emphasized that they were working against the clock to stop a coup attempt against her , the Emperor , and Vader . Saving the Empire . Mors and Borkas traveled in a shuttle and transport to search for the Emperor and Vader . The Imperials continued their search for the Sith Lords throughout the night . While conversing with the co - pilot , the two speculated that the survivors who had escaped the " Perilous " in ships and pods had been attacked by lylek s , predators native to Ryloth . As the search dragged on , Mors and Streen ' s transports encountered a V - wing starfighter that was piloted by one of Belkor ' s men . Since Belkor had misled his men into believing that Mors was plotting to kill the Emperor and Vader , the starfighter had approached them with weapons locked . Mors managed to establish contact with the pilot over the com and convinced him that Belkor was the true traitor . She told the pilot that she and Borkas were searching for Vader and the Emperor . The pilot introduced himself as Wing Leader Arim Meensa and agreed to warn his fellow V - wing pilots of Belkor ' s treachery . After questioning Meensa , Mors learned that Belkor had told the pilots that they would end up having to attack a ground target based on coordinates . She also learned that Belkor had abruptly changed the search area a short time earlier , which meant he was close to finding the Emperor and Lord Vader . Mors instructed Meensa and his men to warn her and Borkas once Belkor had discovered the Emperor and Vader ' s location . They were to ignore Belkor ' s orders to bomb the target and instead to give her his coordinates and delay their arrival . Mors planned to land stormtroopers at the village . Belkor eventually discovered that the Sith Lords had taken refuge in a local village . By that stage , Cham and his forces had converged on the village for an assault . A panicking Belkor contacted Cham and warned that the Imperials had restored their communications and that their plan was unraveling . Despite this setback , Cham insisted on proceeding with his planned attack . Mors ' s shuttle and transport accompanied Meensa ' s V - wings on their fly - over the village . Belkor tried to contact Meensa but received no response . Desperate , he hailed the shuttle only to her Mors ' over the com . Mors chastised Belkor for trying to kill her and hundreds of their comrades . Belkor tried to feign innocence but Mors chastised him for being dishonorable . When Belkor criticized her for her hedonistic lifestyle and corruption , Mors pointed out that unlike her he had blood on his hands . As a result , she concluded that he would have to pay a heavier price than her for his transgressions . When Belkor asked if she was going to turn him over to the Imperial Security Bureau or Vader , Mors ordered her V - wings to assume firing position . After fare - welling her former enemy , Mors ' V - wings destroyed Belkor ' s recon craft . Mors then led the assault on the Twi ' lek village . She and Steen landed their ships on either side of the Twi ' lek forces in the quarry . This allowed the Imperial stormtrooper s to trap Cham ' s attack force . Mors remained aboard the ship for the duration of the assault and watched Vader slaying rebel soldiers with his lightsaber . The Emperor and Lord Vader survived the coup attempt due to Mors ' diligence . While many of the Twi ' lek rebels were killed , Cham , however , managed to escape to fight another day . Searching for smugglers . One year later , Mors , who had been warned by the Emperor that she had one chance left to prove herself , was alerted to a malfunction in the automated traffic control bringing ships to Lessu . A ship , the " Tirion " , had gone missing during the brief outage . She dispatched fighters to search for the freighter , which , unbeknownst to the Moff , was actually a smuggling ship called the " Eclipse " that had been hired by the Free Ryloth Movement to bring in a shipment of medicine for an outbreak of disease on Ryloth . The fighters were able to track the freighter to Lessu , but after landing briefly on the city ' s shell to deliver its cargo , the " Eclipse " was able to evade its Imperial pursuers and escape back into hyperspace . Hearing of the escape , Mors was terrified , believing that she had blown her one chance . Personality and traits . Delian Mors was a middle - aged human woman . Mors could understand Huttese due to her frequent contacts with Hutts . She was in a same - sex marriage with Murra . After Murra was killed in an untimely airspeeder accident , Mors sank into depression and lost her sense of purpose . She became a consumer of spice , which caused her to have watery eyes and a vague expression during her spice hazes . As a Moff of Ryloth , Mors was known for her hedonistic lifestyle and lackadaisical attitude towards her work . She delegated most of the governing of Ryloth to Colonel Belkor Dray , who came to despise her . Belkor ' s ambitions led him to become a spy for Cham Syndulla , the leader of the Free Ryloth movement . He attempted to exploit the Emperor and Darth Vader ' s visit to Ryloth as a means to discredit her leadership and boost his own political career . During the crisis , Mors rose up to the challenge . With the help of Major Steen Borkas , Mors coordinated the successful recovery efforts to find the Emperor and Lord Vader . She managed to appeal to her subordinates ' loyalty to the Empire and succeeded in winning over Belkor ' s men . Mors took the deaths of hundreds of Imperial personnel personally and executed Belkor for his treason . Mors was also a competent military commander and led a successful counter - attack which trapped Cham Syndulla ' s forces . Behind the scenes .
