In 3641 BBY , during the Galactic War between the Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire , Immel and her squad served with Colonel Jace Malcom of the elite Republic Special Forces Division on the desolate Inner Rim planet Kalandis Seven ; Malcom was serving as their advisor there . During the ongoing battle for control of the world , Immel and her squad were given orders to destroy the local Sith - controlled spaceport . On the way to their target , Immel and her squad were attacked , and Corporal Amden vor Keioidian was fatally wounded during the fighting . After checking Keioidian ' s condition , Immel made the decision to leave the Corporal behind , activating his med tracer so that he would be rescued . After Immel ordered the squad to move out , the group finally reached the spaceport three hours later . Immel and Malcom emerged from a canyon entering the local plains with the spaceport in sight . After her squad — consisting of the soldiers Camur , Eron , Yennir of the Green , Vaskus Kayle , Min - Reva , and Zenhai — checked in , Malcom gave Immel a satchel of targeting beacon s , which would allow their starfighters to destroy the spaceport regardless of fog cover . Immel and Malcom approached the spaceport together and observed the enemy patrols . Malcom shot a nearby patrol and , with Immel ' s help , disposed of their bodies under a half - repaired Imperial fighter . Immel discovered that one of the troopers Malcom shot was still alive and killed him to prevent them from being discovered . She then planted one of the target beacons onto a nearby power terminal . Shortly thereafter , Immel and Malcom sighted a planetary command ship landing on Kalandis Seven , and Malcom amended Immel ' s plan to include him capturing the command ship alone , while she and her men would finish the mission . Malcom then infiltrated the spaceport and the command ship . Meanwhile , Immel set all the beacons on their targets and checked on Malcom ' s status . In the command ship , Malcom fought a female Sith Overseer and defeated her , but not before she set off the command ship ' s self - destruct . While the spaceport exploded , Immel spared a starfighter to save Malcom ' s life as he jumped out of the stationary Sith craft . Malcom thanked her for saving his life and asked about the status of the mission . She updated him , saying that the spaceport was destroyed , and offered to buy him a drink , but Malcom declined , stating that he was being recalled to the Core Worlds . Personality and traits . Shanra Immel had light skin , short brown hair , and brown eyes . She wore red - and - white armor that was similar to the standard Republic trooper armor of that time , and carried a blaster rifle . She cared for others , especially those with whom she served , and refused to send them into a situation for which they were not equipped . Immel did not much care for Republic SpecForce and was of the opinion that its members were nothing but scum . When Immel killed a mortally wounded Imperial soldier , she viewed her actions as mercy . She had a disparaging opinion of Private Vaskus Kayle , noting that he could not shoot well , and was of the opinion that he would mistakenly poison himself one day . However , she acknowledged that Kayle recognized his own faults and knew how to follow orders . Behind the scenes . Shanra Immel first appeared in Alexander Freed ' s short story , " The Last Battle of Colonel Jace Malcom " , which was published in " Star Wars Insider " 137 and released on October 23 , 2012 .
