Aerin Dlarit was a Human male from the planet Thyferra , and the father of Erisi Dlarit , formerly a starfighter pilot for Rogue Squadron , an elite New Republic starfighter squadron . In 6 ABY , former Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard supported the Xucphra Corporation — the bacta producing company of which Dlarit was a part — in ousting its rival , Zaltin Corporation , and taking control of Thyferra . For her efforts , Isard was installed as the world ' s Head of State and Chief Operating Officer of the Xucphra Corporation . Under her rule , one of Isard ' s first actions was to establish the Thyferran Home Defense Corps , a military force made up of Xucphran personnel to fight the Ashern , a resistance movement by the planet ' s original inhabitants , the Vratix . Dlarit was among the high - ranking Xucphran officials who joined the Defense Corps , receiving the rank of general despite having no military expertise . In his daily duties with the Defense Force , Dlarit had to defer to Major Barst Roite . However , Dlarit made up for his military shortcomings by attending several social functions and assuring the general public that the Ashern threat was being taken care of . Due to his actions , Dlarit was selected as a target by Elscol Loro , a resistance fighter with experience in toppling planetary governments held by the Galactic Empire . With her were former CorSec investigator Iella Wessiri , former Imperial Special Intelligence operative Sixtus Quin , and his troopers . Assisting the Ashern in removing Isard from power , Loro proposed the assassination of Dlarit . When Wessiri objected that Dlarit was hardly a notable military target , Loro countered that as a public figure , killing Dlarit would be integral in frightening the planet ' s populace , thereby forcing them to choose between Isard ' s forces and the Ashern . Loro led a strike team that infiltrated Dlarit ' s estate and killed Dlarit ' s guards . The resistance fighters then found Dlarit asleep on his office chair . In front of him was a hologram of a statue that bore his likeness , surrounded by a group of adoring admirers and well - wishers . Loro was about to shoot Dlarit with her blaster when Wessiri intervened . Proposing her own plan , Wessiri convinced Loro that rather than kill Dlarit , they could humiliate him instead , an action that would still serve their original goal of destabilizing Isard ' s regime . With Loro ' s consent , Wessiri stunned Dlarit with her blaster and the strike team then stripped Dlarit of his Thyferran Home Defense Corps uniform . A hologram of their deed was then circulated throughout Thyferra , even reaching as far as the " Victory " - class Star Destroyer " Corrupter " , which at that time was en route to the colony world of Halanit to punish the inhabitants for accepting free bacta from Wedge Antilles , the leader of the coalition of pilots opposing Isard . Aboard the " Corrupter " , Dlarit ' s daughter Erisi was mortified when she saw the image of her father slumped naked on his chair . The humiliating holo also led the Imperials to treat their Thyferran Home Defense Corps counterparts with contempt . Personality and traits . A native of Thyferra and a high official of the Xucphra Corporation , Dlarit was a product of the corporation ' s culture . Owing to the guaranteed profits of bacta sales , Xucphra never had the need for diversification or expansion . Hence , promotions were given to people according to their tenure , not their skills or merit . Dlarit dreamed of being famous and sought admiration from everyone , as shown by the holo inside his office depicting a statue of his own likeness , surrounded by a throng of well - wishers and admirers . Behind the scenes . Aerin Dlarit was a character created by author Michael Stackpole for his novel " " published in 1997 , the fourth novel in the " X - Wing " series . To date , " X - Wing : The Bacta War " is Dlarit ' s only appearance in " Star Wars " canon .
