Around 19 BBY , the Imperial served under the command of Moff Wilhuff Tarkin aboard his flagship " Executrix " . After his assignment aboard the Star Destroyer , Darcc was transferred to the forest planet of Kashyyyk . There , he rose through the ranks of Imperial rule , eventually becoming governor of the planet . After Emperor Palpatine perished during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY , resulting in the Empire ' s subsequent disarray , Darcc used the vast Imperial resources at hand on Kashyyyk , as well as his position as planetary governor , to proclaim himself Moff of the Mytaranor sector . Ruling from Kashyyyk inside his Palace , Darcc formed alliances with the Trandoshan slaver Pekt and the traitorous Wookiee Weebacca in an effort to rid the planet Kashyyyk of its native sentient species , the arboreal Wookiees . Moff Darcc ' s rule over Kashyyyk worried Wookiee chieftain Attichitcuk , who contacted his son , Chewbacca , in a effort to petition the burgeoning New Republic . Chewbacca , together with Han Solo , responded personally after the New Republic proved unable to assist . Once made aware of Darcc ' s intentions , Chewbacca formed an army , joining several Wookiee villages , in an effort to liberate the planet . Though Darcc tried to defeat the growing resistance , the Wookiees forced the Moff to flee the planet with Pekt and take refuge within a fortress on the Avatar Orbital Platform above Kashyyyk . Pursuing the Moff and bolstered by a collection of New Republic forces , Chewbacca ' s army overwhelmed the Imperial defenses , killing Darcc and destroying the orbital station . Biography . On the " Executrix " . By the termination of the Clone Wars , Darcc was an Imperial officer and captain in the Imperial Navy . He was assigned to Moff Wilhuff Tarkin ' s flagship , the Star Destroyer " Executrix " , where Darcc was responsible for meeting leading Imperial figures at Tarkin ' s request , along with commanding troopers . In 19 BBY , Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader was requested to meet with Moff Tarkin by Emperor Palpatine , stationed above the planet Kashyyyk , home of the native Wookiee species . Darcc met the Dark Lord , and led him to the ship ' s captain . The Darcc times . Eventually , Darcc was reassigned from his former job aboard the " Executrix " to serve planetside on Kashyyyk . He began his service , and rose through the ranks to become governor of the planet . Once word of Emperor Palpatine ' s demise aboard the second Death Star , stationed above the forest moon of the planet Endor , after a pivotal Rebel Alliance victory , Darcc claimed control of Kashyyyk . Due to his position of power , as well as control of the Imperial technology located on the planet , Darcc proclaimed himself Moff of the Mytaranor sector . The new Moff established a Palace in his Imperial garrison , not far from the villages of Ittummi and Chenachochan , in which he ruled the planet . However , his plans for Kashyyyk did not include the presence of the Wookiees . Forming a pact with Trandoshan slaver Pekt , Darcc instructed him and his hired Trandoshans to remove entire villages of Wookiees . With Imperial assistance , the captured Wookiees would be transported off - planet , where they would either be sold into slavery or killed , skinned , and sold for their pelts . Darcc also made an alliance with the Wookiee Weebacca , who agreed to help Darcc and Pekt in selling Weebacca ' s fellow species . Weebacca was able to use his status as a Wookiee to trick others and allow Pekt ' s slavers easy captures . Authority challenged . Attichitcuk , a chief of one of Kashyyyk ' s many Wookiee villages , became distressed at the increasing presence of Imperial troops , as well as the simultaneous disappearance of several Wookiee villages . Around 4 ABY , he called upon his son Chewbacca , who was involved with the New Republic — a burgeoning government formed from the Rebel Alliance dedicated to fighting the remnants of the Empire — by association with New Republic General Han Solo . Informed of the Wookiees ' plight , Chewbacca attempted to bring the matter before the leading members of the New Republic . When they turned down his petition , the Wookiee left for Kashyyyk with Solo in tow , in order to find out the extent of the problem first - hand . Once they landed , Solo and Chewbacca encountered the first of Moff Darcc ' s Imperial troops as well as Pekt ' s Trandoshan slavers . They also spotted Weebacca , taking on an encampment on his own . At the command of Darcc , Weebacca infiltrated the party , assisting where he could , including defending against an attempt to halt the creation of the Government Tree by Darcc ' s and Pekt ' s individual forces . Weebacca fulfilled his mission when he led Chewbacca ' s forces into a trap engineered at Okikuti , though the party managed to escape and ventured closer to Darcc ' s base . Darcc , meanwhile , continued his quest to remove the presence of the natives . Working together with Bossk , a retired Trandoshan bounty hunter , Darcc managed to strike and capture another tribe of Wookiee villagers . After Chewbacca ' s army , now a sizable team of warriors , destroyed the three Imperial signal jammers blocking communications from leaving the planet , Solo relayed a mission to the New Republic , alerting them to the Empire ' s actions on Kashyyyk . However , as there was no way of knowing if they had received the message or not , Chewbacca decided that the only way to end the slavery of his fellow Wookiees was to challenge Moff Darcc himself . Holed up in his Palace , Darcc ' s armies and his Trandoshan allies prepared for the oncoming invasion . However , the Wookiee force proved even more powerful than Darcc expected , and Chewbacca and his allies pushed through the defenses of the Imperial garrison . Not long after , Darcc ' s own Palace came under Wookiee siege , and was eventually demolished . Control terminated . Darcc escaped the destruction of his Palace through a secret passageway . Meeting with Pekt , Darcc attempted to escape the planet with as many slaves as possible . Weebacca was expected to join the two in the hidden " Lambda " - class T - 4a shuttle ; however he was intercepted and killed by Chewbacca . The delay caused by the fight with Weebacca allowed the Moff and the Trandoshan to escape the planet , their shuttle ' s cargo hold filled with enslaved Wookiees . Chewbacca , determined to end the threat once and for all , commanded his forces to follow the transport that was destined for the space station Avatar Orbital Platform , a large shipping center specializing in slave dealings . Darcc and Pekt took refuge within a fortress on the Avatar platform . There , the two waited and coordinated attacks on Chewbacca ' s landing party . The timely arrival of Rogue Squadron , led by Luke Skywalker , and the " Millennium Falcon " , piloted by Lando Calrissian , increased the pressure on Moff Darcc . Eventually , the combined efforts of the airborne aid and the ground - based attacks proved to be too much for the fortress , and both Darcc and Pekt were forced to evacuate the building . However , the Moff and slaver were soon after killed and his remains were obliterated after the destruction of the facility , caused by combined strikes from the Wookiees , Rogue Squadron , and the " Falcon " . Personality and traits . Darcc was an extremely ambitious man with a desire for power . Given the proper resources , Darcc was able to use situations to rise in rank , gaining favor with his peers , until another opportunity arose where he could further increase his standing . When given the opportunity , he did not hesitate to proclaim ownership over something , specifically the planet Kashyyyk . With his position of power , Darcc would build extravagant structures for his own use . Darcc also saw the necessity of forming alliances ; in order to remove the native Wookiees from the planet , he relied on the Trandoshan Pekt for assistance . Weebacca the Wookiee was also allied with the Imperials during Darcc ' s reign as Moff , even though the Wookiee species was in fact Darcc ' s target for elimination from the planet . Still , he considered these alliances disposable , as he made no effort to aid Weebacca when he came under attack ; Darcc instead focused on his own escape . Behind the scenes . Darcc first appeared in the 2001 real - time strategy video game " " , where he served as one of the main antagonists for the Wookiee campaign . Players were often tasked in the later missions to follow a trail leading to an eventual confrontation with the Moff , including bouts through his Imperial garrison and a trip into space , until his final doom on Avatar Orbital Platform . Later , Darcc was given a mention in the James Luceno - written book " " , as an officer and captain serving under Wilhuff Tarkin , then a Moff . In the book , Darcc welcomes Vader , and escorts the Sith Lord to Tarkin . Though Hindane Darcc was relegated to Star Wars Legends after The Walt Disney Company acquired the " Star Wars " brand , his service to Tarkin aboard the " Executrix " re - entered canon after a mention in the 2016 book " " . " Star Wars Galaxies " offers a chance for players to participate in the destruction of Avatar Orbital Platform . However , the timeline for this event contradicts the canon established by " Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds " , as Darcc ' s rise to the title of Moff only occurs after the Battle of Endor and Emperor Palpatine ' s demise , and " Galaxies " occurs before this battle . It is possible that the Avatar Platform the player destroys in " Galaxies " was a different platform completely , or a precursor to the Avatar Orbital Platform Moff Darcc controlled ; no official explanation has been given .
