Malameu Toda Lord Malameu Toda was a Tammuz - an warrior - chieftain from the planet of the same name . He lived in a large castle with his feisty daughter Gerin and his idealist son Coby . Toda was the leader of a large company of able - bodied Tammuz - an warriors and frequently found himself in conflict with the planet ' s ruling heir , King Mon Julpa . Biography . Several years prior to the Battle of Yavin , Mon Julpa wanted to declare a cease of hostilities between his kingdom and the lands governed by Lord Toda . He traveled to Toda ’ s castle and offered him a charter of peace . Toda was dubious of the new king ’ s offer and suspected that he was conspiring upon a plan to unseat him . It was actually his daughter , Gerin , who convinced her father to entertain the prospect of a treaty . Before the peace accords could be settled however , the pirate Gir Kybo Ren - Cha escaped from prison and kidnapped Gerin . As Kybo was formerly a custodian of Mon Julpa ’ s dungeons , Toda blamed Julpa for Kybo ’ s escape , and the subsequent abduction of his daughter . Kybo stole an R - 22 Spearhead starfighter and took Gerin to the swamp world of Bogden . Toda had Mon Julpa arrested . Captain Kybo sent a message from Bogden declaring that Gerin would be returned to Tammuz - an pending the release of his imprisoned crew mates . Mon Julpa pleaded with Toda to allow him to assist in freeing Gerin from Kybo . He warned Lord Toda that Kybo was not to be trusted , and that he would likely refuse to hand Gerin over to them . Reluctantly , Toda agreed to work with Mon Julpa on a secret plan to rescue her . They modified Kybo ’ s impounded attack ship , the " Dianoga " , with a secret cargo basin that could adequately hide a squad of Toda ’ s most capable warriors . They released Kybo ’ s first mate , Jyn Obah ( as well as the rest of the crew ) and allowed them to leave Tammuz - an . Little did the pirates know however , that Toda and his warriors were hiding inside the ship . When they arrived on Bogden , Toda and Mon Julpa fought together to free Gerin . They defeated Captain Kybo and his crew , and safely returned Gerin to Tammuz - an . In recognition of Julpa ’ s invaluable aid in helping to rescue his daughter , Lord Toda agreed to sign the charter of peace , uniting their respective kingdoms . Personality and traits . Lord Toda was not a man of great humor . His face was perpetually contorted into a grim frown and he spoke in clipped , measured tones . One of the few occasions when he was known to laugh , occurred in the presence of the protocol droid , C - 3PO . A small animal named Ingey scurried about 3PO ’ s shoulders causing the clumsy droid to stumble into a sideboard of food . Toda took great delight in the droid ’ s apparent embarrassment . Lord Toda did not place his trust in anyone lightly . He was irrationally suspicious of Mon Julpa and feared that the new king would try to usurp his power base from him . This may have been because Mon Julpa commanded a fleet of R - 22 Spearhead fighters , whereas Toda did not have any starfighters of his own . Lord Toda was the epitome of an august warrior . He had dark , piercing eyes , a broad nose , and receding brown hair with sideburns . His countenance was one of a man always ready to do battle . Lord Toda may have in fact hailed from a different race of Tammuz - anian than his contemporary , Mon Julpa . Toda and his family all possessed a deep blue skin color as opposed to the more flamboyant , purple hue of Mon Julpa ’ s entourage . Behind the scenes .
