Ulbrick was one of the six crew of the " Candra " besides its captain Edell who survived a pursuit by the Alanciari air force . Later , he and the other Sith survivors climbed a cliff which led to the Alanciari frontier fort of Point Defiance . However , he was shot and seriously wounded in the right leg by Quarra Thayn , an Alanciari Keshiri soldier who was armed with a hand - ballista . His Sith companions succeeded in overpowering Quarra and her wounded lover Jogan Halder . One of the Sith crew members , the Keshiri scholar Tellpah , attended to Ulbrick ' s wounds and bandaged it but was unable to stem the bleeding . Since Ulbrick was too debilitated by his injuries to walk , his commander Edell Vrai beheaded him in order to warn Quarra that the Sith meant business . In addition , Edell wanted to prevent the Alanciari from capturing a Sith prisoner . Prior to their departure from Point Defiance , the Sith dumped Ulbrick ' s body down a cistern . Biography . Ulbrick was a member of the Lost Tribe of Sith , a group of Human Sith who had settled on the planet Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War . He grew up during the Hilts Restoration and participated in the Tribe ' s efforts to reach and conquer Alanciar , another continent in Kesh ' s southern hemisphere . Ulbrick joined the Sith Saber s , a rank within the Tribe that was the equivalent of the Jedi Order ' s Jedi Knights . In 2975 BBY , Ulbrick participated in the Tribe ' s expeditionary mission to Alanciar and served aboard the airship " Candra " . He was part of a ten - person crew which included Captain Edell Vrai , the uvak - tenderer Peppin , the thoughtcrier Taymor , four other warriors including Janns , and two Keshiri ambassadors including Tellpah . His captain Edell was also the commander of the Sith expedition and had invented the Tribe ' s airships after discovering that methane extracted from the volcano Sessal Spire could be used as hydrogen to power gasbags . Ulbrick and the Sith scouting fleet traveled across the Western Sea to Alanciar ' s southeastern peninsula region known as the Six Claws . Shortly after arriving in Alanciar , the Sith airships were attacked by black javelins fired from Alanciari ballista emplacements in the Six Claws and were pursued by the Alanciari air force , which consisted of armed uvak riders . Thus , the Sith had made contact with the Keshiri living on Alanciar but quickly learnt that they had a strong military that was capable of resisting invasion . In fact , the Keshiri geologist Adari Vaal , who had initially worked with the Tribe but later attempted to overthrow them , had fled to Alanciar over two thousand years ago . She succeeded in warning the Alanciari about the threat posed by the Lost Tribe . As a result , the Alanciari developed a highly militarized society based around resisting invasion by the Sith . Ulbrick was one of the six Sith crew who survived the " Candra ' s " crash - landing near Point Defiance , a signal station that was situated on the peninsular of Garrow ' s Neck . The other Sith survivors included the mission ' s commander Edell Vrai , the uvak - tender Peppin , fellow Saber Janns , and the Keshiri scholar Tellpah . Unseen , the Sith party had dropped north of Point Defiance while the balloon carried the wrecked gondola farther eastward . After traveling for a kilometer , the Sith party led by its commander Edell Vrai climbed a stony tumbledown which led to Point Defiance . Ulbrick was the first of the Sith party to climb up the summit . As a result , he was hit in his right thigh by glass projectiles from the Alanciari Wardmaster Quarra Thayn ' s hand - ballista . Quarra had been protecting her wounded lover Jogan Halder , who had been crushed by the fallen uvak Starboard , who had been tethered to the " Candra " . His fellow Saber Janns managed to dodged the projectile by diving for cover behind a ruined heart . After a brief but fierce struggle , Ulbrick ' s companions Peppin and Janns managed to overpower Quarra and take her and her companion prisoner . Quarra revealed that she could speak the same language as the Sith and that the Alanciari had been well prepared for the Sith invasion . Meanwhile , the Keshiri scholar Tellpah attended to Ulbrick ' s wounds . Ulbrick ' s right thigh had been badly splintered by multiple glass projectiles and his makeshift bandage was completely saturated in blood . Due to the bleeding , Ulbrick was unable to continue walking . After Ulbrick admitted that he would be unable to walk , his commander Edell made the brief decision to euthanize Ulbrick by swiftly decapitating him . This was done to send a warning to the captive Quarra that her life would be in danger if she did not cooperate with her captors and to prevent the Alanciari from capturing a Sith prisoner . Prior to the Sith party ' s evacuation from Point Defiance , Ulbrick ' s body was dumped into a cistern in an effort to hide it from Alanciari reinforcements who had been dispatched from Garrow ' s Neck . Despite Ulbrick ' s death , Edell and the other Sith expeditionary members managed to survive their disastrous first contact with the Alanciari . They then hijacked an Alanciari harvester " Mischance " which they used to return to their continent of Keshtah Minor via the Southern Passage and Sea of Flames . In the end , the Sith managed to conquer Alanciar by using Jogan Halder to convince the Alanciari that the Sith did not actually pose a threat to them . Personality and traits . As a member of the Human Lost Tribe of Sith , Ulbrick was Force - sensitive . He was also a warrior in the Sith Saber s , the Tribe ' s equivalent of the Jedi Knights , and was presumably skilled in lightsaber combat . However , his combat skills were not sufficient to save him from being fatally wounded by Quarra Thayn during his commander Edell Vrai ' s mission to Alanciar in 2975 BBY . Due to his serious leg injuries , he was unable to walked and had to be " euthanized " by his commander . Behind the scenes . Ulbrick first appeared as a minor non - point - of - view character in John Jackson Miller ' s novella " " , which was first released on July 24 2012 as part of the mass paperback " " . This marks his only appearance in the Star Wars Expanded Universe .
