Coret Bhan Coret Bhan was a Zabrak male , who was a former colonist in a harsh Mid Rim region . He had a strong hatred of the Galactic Empire and became a Captain in the Rebel Alliance . He was an intense fighter who led by an example . Biography . Battle of Talus . Shortly before the battle of Talus Captain Bhan led a hit - and - run attack on the Raithal Academy . A Rebel strike force has landed just outside the Raithal Academy and - without trying to capture or destroy it - tried to disrupt Imperial planning in preparation for the operation in the Corellian system . When the cadets of Academy put up reasonable defense , Rebel forces fell back in good order towards their landing craft , leaving behind some explosives which they planned to use to blow the starport on their way out . Later , when the initial Imperial assault on the Talus base had failed , Bhan led a Rebel counterattack at the Imperial outpost on Talus . The Rebel attack force consisted of Rebel commandos , supported by heavy troopers and Y - wing bombers . All available Imperial soldiers rushed to defend the outpost , and eventually began to make headway against the Rebels . As this was yet another strike - and - fade operation , planned to disrupt Imperial operations , Bhan gave the order for the Alliance forces to fall back . The Rebels have quickly escaped back to their base , while the Imperials were in no shape to pursue them . Capture . Following the battle of Talus , Zabrak ' s career was rising . Bhan ' s field command skills were so valuable that the Alliance High Command refused to promote him to a desk job . Bhan held the rank of Major longer than anyone else in the Alliance . The fact managed to attract attention of the Galactic Empire , and Bhan ' s name was put onto Emperor ' s Most Wanted , a list of high - paid bounties on critical Alliance leaders . Two bounty hunters cooperated to capture Bhan , one of them was IG - 88A , who has obtained Bhan ' s deployment orders from a Rebel courier . Bhan was going to lead a strike - and - fade operation on an Imperial outpost on Dantooine , the bounty hunters decided to ambush him in the field , despite knowing that Bhan would be surrounded by veteran commandos . When the Rebel strike team reached the rough terrain surrounding the outpost , the Rebels were forced to cover the last kilometers on foot . As Bhan lead the commandos into a clearing , IG - 88 activated the trip wires which set off flechette mine s and smoke bombs placed by the assassin droid . While the Rebels were confused , the bounty hunters launched their attack . The ambush worked to perfection , and soon the Rebels were forced to surrender . Bhan ordered his men to stand down , while IG - 88 put him in binders and prepared to deliver him to the Imperial authorities . The temporary holding place for the captured Rebels was the Imperial prison facility in a rough mountain area just outside of Bestine on Tatooine . Bhan was handed over to the Empire , but the Rebel agents managed to learn the location of the facility and launched a bold raid in an attempt to rescue the prisoners . Despite heavy resistance from the Imperial forces , the Rebels were able to gain the upper hand and evacuate the rescued prisoners , including Bhan , to safety . Further activities . When a large shipment of ryll went missing on its way to Alliance medical facility , several Rebel operatives were dispatched to track it down . Bhan , along with several Rebel commandos , was supposed to meet with CorSec Major Alana Walden at the Mos Eisley spaceport , but while waiting for their contact to arrive , the Rebels were confronted by a band of smugglers trying to leave the spaceport . The Rebels had no choice but to fight , and eventually kill them all . After the skirmish many were tired and wounded , but were given no chance to rest . An ISB agent stepped around the corner and , after announcing that he had left Major Walden bleeding in a nearby alley , demanded from Bhan the information about the ryll shipment . Bhan ' s response was delivered with a blaster bolt , and his commandos had joined him , though they were weakened from the previous firefight . Soon , several of Bhan ' s men were killed and the rest were in no shape to fight . The Imperial got no information from Bhan , though a young wounded corporal accidentally mentioned that Bhan was supposed to meet with Han Solo on Corellia . The ISB agent jokingly saluted to the wounded Rebels and departed , while they too weak to do anything about it . While Bhan did not approve of such activities , as a Rebel officer he often had to deal with smugglers . On the moon of Rori Bhan was supposed to meet with Dash Rendar , a smuggler , who transported valuable cargo for the Alliance , using the swoop racing to cover his movements . Bhan received a small package from Rendar behind a grandstand and prepared to leave , when he was suddenly confronted by an agent of the Imperial Security Bureau . His combat skills allowed him to gain the upper hand over the Imperial , forcing the latter one to retreat and to report Bhan ' s involvement to his superiors .
