Halomar Corros Halomar Corros was a Human male general who served the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War . Assigned as commander of Reginard Base , Corros oversaw the day - to - day operation of the outpost . Corros was present on the base when a YT - 1300 light freighter , the " Limping Lady " , arrived at the outpost carrying independent spacers who were in possession of a data cartridge containing vital information on Imperial warship movements . He was later present when the base ' s senior technician , Adonar Dellox , apparently succumbed to the deadly disease triflexia . In reality , he had been murdered by Major Tanya Madera , an Imperial spy who served as the base ' s second - in - command . Due to Madera ' s schemes , Reginard Base was almost discovered by Imperial forces , but Corros ' s command was saved by a group of Rebel agents stationed at the base . Corros was also responsible for recruiting Dirk Harkness into the Alliance . He met the young mechanic during a mission to Kelada , where the General hoped to rendezvous with an Alliance operative , Chessa Dohhenty . Dohhenty was killed by Imperial stormtroopers prior to meeting with Corros , and Harkness , who was her lover , killed several stormtroopers in revenge before fleeing the scene . Corros caught up to the young man in a cantina , Lorana ' s Labyrinth , and recruited him on the spot . Biography . Commanding Reginard Base . Halomar Coross was a Human male serving with the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War . He held the rank of general and commanded Reginard Base , a secret Rebel outpost on the uninhabited planet Reginard , in the Pakuuni sector of the Outer Rim Territories . Corros had been part of the initial team to establish the outpost on Reginard , and had conducted a full mapping survey of the planet . He was responsible for the day - to - day operations of Reginard Base , spending the majority of his time in the command center watching monitors and tracking screens . His personal suite at Reginard Base was modest , consisting of only a bed , locker , and desk , although he did keep a holoportrait of Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi above his desk . Shortly after the Battle of Yavin , in 0 ABY , Corros welcomed a group of independent spacers aboard the YT - 1300 light freighter " Limping Lady " to Reginard Base . The group had come into possession of a data cartridge on the planet Tatooine that contained information on Imperial warships . The data cartridge had been in the possession of a Rebel agent , who had been killed by stormtroopers . The spacers had found the coordinates to Reginard Base etched onto the back of the cartridge and had sought to deliver the information to the Alliance . Corros was pleased with the spacers ' work and expressed interest when they indicated a willingness to join the Alliance . Corros subsequently used the data on the cartridge to log Imperial starship movements . Crisis on Reginard . At some point during the Galactic Civil War , Reginard Base ' s power failed . After the emergency back - ups had kicked in , Corros , who had been in the base command center , was called to one of the outpost ' s storage bays . Along with his second - in - command , Major Tanya Madera , he arrived to find that a group of Rebel agents , stationed at the base as a supply and transport crew , had discovered the body of Adonar Dellox , the base ' s chief technician . Dellox ' s face and neck were grotesquely swollen , and he was colored a deep red . It appeared that Dellox had become sick from a disease , then fallen onto the large piece of equipment on which he was working : a passive sensor array . The fall damaged the sensor array , which caused a short - circuit and sent a power surge through the cable connecting the array to the rest of the base , which in turn affected the base ' s power system . Soon , Corros was joined by the base starfighter commander , Captain Tony Franco ; junior technician Kim Yeasson ; and the base ' s chief medical officer , Doctor Akimbo . Akimbo immediately set to investigating the incident , ordering a detox team to secure the corpse and inquiring if any individual had come into contact with the body . As the body was taken away to be autopsied , Akimbo promised to keep Corros apprised of the situation . The General then set about explaining to the group of Rebel agents that the sensor array on which Dellox had been working was intended to increase Reginard Base ' s sensor cover in the system . Because the base only used passive omnidirectional sensors to scan the system in order to avoid detection , the Alliance could only scan half the planet and system , since the rest was hidden by Reginard ' s mass . The passive sensor array was to be installed on an island on the other side of the planet to ensure full sensor coverage . Several hours later , Akimbo informed Corros that Dellox had died of triflexia , a contagious and fatal disease that caused blood vessels to swell to three times their normal size . That in turn increased a victim ' s blood pressure , stopped the oxygen exchange in the lungs , closed the esophagus , and crushed brain tissue . Corros immediately ordered all base personnel to report to medical for testing , with any personnel that showed possible symptoms being immediately quarantined . Unknown to Corros , the cause for Dellox ' s death was not as a result of contagion ; his second - in - command , Major Madera , was an Imperial spy . She had been assigned to infiltrate an Alliance base , then broadcast its location to allow Imperial forces to attack . To achieve that , she had installed components into the passive sensor array to broadcast a Stellar Class starport beacon . Dellox had discovered her handiwork , and she had killed him with a needler pistol , which fired darts coated in triflexia bioengineered by the Empire to work as a poison . While Akimbo worked , he lost another patient to Madera ' s machinations ; she infected an X - wing pilot who had been quarantined to make it appear as if the triflexia was spreading like a normal disease . In the meantime , the Rebel agents at the base helped to fix the passive sensor array so that it could be deployed , for which Corros was very grateful . With the passive sensor array repaired , Corros directed the Rebel agents to use their ship to transport it to the other side of the planet and place it on a bare hill in the middle of a forest on a large island . Once hooked up to a medium power fusion generator , the sensor array would be active . The agents , assisted by Madera , completed the task and headed back to Reginard Base . When they were about an hour away from returning , Corros noted the arrival of a ship with a scrambled transponder in - system that was heading straight for the new sensor array . He ordered the agents to turn around and investigate . Upon returning to the sensor array , they discovered the smuggler Hawker Bryce - Kelley and his ship , the " Queen ' s Victory " . He was on the run from Imperial Customs , had picked up a Stellar Class starport beacon in the system , and had hoped to land at the spaceport . The agents realized that the sensor array had been tampered with , and Madera attacked the group in an effort to stop them from turning off the beacon . The agents were victorious , defeating Madera and shutting down the array . Corros then reported the arrival of an Imperial Customs Frigate into the system , which was tracking Bryce - Kelley ' s ship and had briefly detected a starport beacon in an uninhabited system . The agents , in an effort to preserve the secrecy of Reginard Base , intercepted the frigate , the " 517 " , and allowed themselves to be boarded and inspected . The agents acted contrite and helpful toward Customs Inspector Buudro , and he asked them several questions about their business in the system , and whether or not they had encountered the " Queen ' s Victory " . The agents satisfied Buudro with their responses , and he withdrew from the system , leaving Reginard Base undetected . Kelada . Shortly after the destruction of the Empire ' s Death Star superweapon at the Battle of Yavin , Corros and Captain Franco traveled to the planet Kelada , in the Duluur sector of the Colonies , to meet with one of their operative s , Chessa Dohhenty , who was smuggling equipment to the Alliance aboard the ship on which she crewed , the " Colders Watch " . She was discovered in the act by Imperial stormtroopers , who killed her during a lightfight . Her lover , Dirk Harkness , witnessed the incident and gunned down several stormtroopers before fleeing the hangar in which the " Colders Watch " was berthed . He eventually ended up in the cantina Lorana ' s Labyrinth . Corros and Franco learned of Dohennty ' s fate and tracked Harkness down to Lorana ' s , where they recruited him into the Alliance as a technician at Reginard Base . Personality and traits . Halomar Corros was bearded and had thinning hair . A quiet man , he had a tendency to stroke his beard when problems arose . He was a capable commander who was knowledgeable about planetary systems and the workings of a bureaucracy . Trained to use a blaster , he always carried one along with a comlink . Behind the scenes . Halomar Coross was first mentioned , simply as " General Corros , " in " Limping Lady " , an article published in the magazine " Challenge 64 " in 1992 and written by Peter M . Schweighofer . A General Corros was later mentioned in " Chessa ' s Doom " , a short story written by Schweighofer that appeared in West End Games ' " Star Wars Adventure Journal 1 " in 1994 . In 1995 , Corros was again featured in the article " Death by Triflexia " in " Challenge 76 " , also written by Schweighofer , where he was given the first name Halomar . All three appearances place him as commander of the Rebel base on Reginard . Corros ' s appearances in the articles published in " Challenge " are ambiguously canon , as they were released outside of the West End Games license . The adventures were written by Schweighofer , who contributed heavily to West End Games ' " " publications .
