During the years following the end of the Clone Wars , when Kithriss was in his early twenties , he entered the service of the Galactic Empire . At some point , he purchased two Theelin slaves from a Hutt gangster and appointed the pair as his bodyguards . Kithriss became devoted to Emperor Palpatine , the leader of the Empire , and , at some point following the Empire ' s formation in 19 BBY , at Palpatine ' s request , Kithriss traveled to the Deep Core planet Byss and spent some time at Palpatine ' s newly - constructed retreat on the world . There , over a period of several weeks , Palpatine covertly exposed Kithriss to various different dark side – based Sith techniques , in an attempt to make the Baron resistant to the effects of Force powers . In about 17 BBY , the Empire secretly made a deal with the Hutt crime lord Darga Jiramma Mionne , whereby Darga would supply the Empire with Tibanna gas for use on a clandestine Imperial project to construct a prototype Super Star Destroyer . As part of the arrangement , the Empire agreed to pay Darga a large sum of credits , which were to be surreptitiously handed over to Darga ' s agent Mirana Fioro during the Cloud City Sabacc Tournament , which was being held in Cloud City of the planet Bespin . To ensure that Fioro did not do anything to expose the secrecy of the transaction , the Empire planned to have Kithriss oversee the exchange , and a message was sent to the Baron ' s datapad that ordered him to travel to the Yarith Bespin hotel in Cloud City . The purpose of his assignment was not divulged to him , and he was told that he would receive further instructions via the hotel ' s computer system , and that during the assignment , he was to maintain communications silence and not tell anyone that he was an Imperial agent . Kithriss also received instructions to meet up with four clone stormtrooper s prior to embarking for Bespin who had been assigned to guard him during the mission . Unknown to Kithriss , the clones were under orders to observe him and see if he demonstrated any signs of instability as a result of his exposure to Palpatine ' s techniques , and if so , to quietly kill him . Accompanied by his two Theelin bodyguards and the four troopers , Kithriss traveled to the Yarith Bespin and checked in to one of the hotel ' s luxury suites . However , he was unsatisfied with the standard of his accommodation , so he went to the hotel ' s lobby and loudly berated one of the hotel employees , demanding that the hotel manager allocate him a better room . Everyone in the lobby turned to watch Kithriss ' tirade , and the commotion attracted the attention of a group of undercover Alderaanian Resistance operatives , who were investigating Darga ' s dealings with the Empire . Due to the presence of Kithriss ' clone trooper guards and the style of the Baron ' s garb , the operatives recognized that he was an Imperial agent and deduced that he might possess information relating to the Empire ' s deal with Darga . Once Kithriss had finished his outburst , the hotel staff rushed off to attend to his requests , and the Baron headed out onto the streets of Cloud City with the Theelin and the four clone troopers . The Alderaanian agents followed the party and subsequently engaged Kithriss and his entourage in combat on a Cloud City walkway . The operatives eventually defeated Kithriss and stole his datapad . A short time afterward , the Baron ' s superiors on the planet Coruscant — who were unaware of the Alderaanians ' attack on him — sent a set of instruction to the Kithriss ' datapad , which directed him to oversee the transaction in the sabacc tournament . The message also stated that he was not to interfere with the exchange and that once it had taken place , he was to transmit a confirmation message to Coruscant and then return to Chandrila . The agents then infiltrated the sabacc tournament , in an attempt to discover the nature of the transfer of funds to Darga . Personality and traits . Kithriss was arrogant , and , despite his young age , he carried himself with an air of superiority that befitted a veteran member of the Imperial Senate , the Empire ' s governing body . He was an ardent supporter of Palaptine and was one of the Emperor ' s greatest sycophants , and his conditioning on Byss resulted in him becoming even more fiercely loyal to Palpatine . Kithriss also gained a limited resistance to Force - based attacks as a result of his exposure to Palpatine ' s techniques , but the Baron was unaware of the ability and the effect was due to wear off after a few months . Kithriss spoke in a precise tone and had a Core Worlds accent , and , in addition to Basic , he was able to speak the languages Bocce , High Galactic , Twi ' leki , and Kel Dor . He had dark black hair , which was cut in a style that was popular with agents of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order . He wore clothing of a style that was considered the latest fashion among the Chandrilan nobility , and he was equipped with a blaster pistol , a vibroblade , a comlink , a datapad , and a sabacc deck .
