During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire , Tsalesh was part of the Rift Alliance Coalition Forces and stationed on the planet Hoth . He aided the Barsen ' thor in stopping the pirating of their trade lines . Biography . Tsalesh was a male Selkath from the planet Manaan , and served in Manaan ' s own military . During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the resurgent Sith Empire , Manaan ' s citizens were unhappy with how the Republic had ignored them in their need when their home world was bombarded by the Sith Empire . They formed an alliance with similar displeased members of the Republic , and named it the Rift Alliance . Pirates were however raiding their trade lines in the Outer Rim , so they formed a Coalition Force comprising members of each member ' s planet . Tsalesh joined the coalition force as a private and joined his new team on the planet Hoth where they had located the pirates ' base . The team made their home base in the Whiterock Wastes at the Republic Aurek Base , where they would plan their operations against the pirates . Under the command of Lieutenant Felix Iresso they would perform strikes against the pirates who had become a splinter faction of the White Maw Pirates . Their attacks proved futile on the pirate leader , Valon who kept coming back despite having even a tunnel collapsed on him . As more members of the team got killed during their repeatedly failed missions , the squad ' s morale became very low . One day after Valon had stolen their Thermal bore device , private Kree had had enough and proposed that they should all leave the planet while they were still alive . As he shouted at Lt . Iresso , a Jedi walked in , the Barsen ' thor . The Jedi was to be their new commander and solve the problem with the pirates . The squad members agreed that it was impossible , and Tsalesh chimed in that they had tried everything against their leader Valon . Iresso calmed the squad down and talked them out of leaving the planet while convincing them that the Jedi would kill Valon . The Barsen ' thor then headed out into the icy wastelands of Hoth and succeeded in retrieving the stolen thermal device , but not in defeating Valon . During the Jedi ' s quest , the lieutenant had sent all of the squad members out on a training mission to distract their minds . After their mission was finished the squad journeyed to Outpost Onith . At the outpost , the squad was suddenly attack by several bandits , but the Barsen ' thor came and helped them . Private Kree figured out that Valon wasn ' t dead due to the coordinated attacks and pulled his gun at the Lieutenant in desperation . The Barsen ' thor revealed that so was the case , but that he had managed to find out Valon ' s secret to his immortality which lay in his armor . Iresso quickly disarmed Kree and knocked him to the ground . Kree would be punished for his disobedience , but private . Falch stepped in and said that Kree was right in that no one could defeat Valon . The Jedi explained how Valon ' s armor worked and how it was stolen from an Imperial research lab on the planet . The lieutenant had intel on such a facility and that they might get more information there . Since the facility was most likely guarded , Iresso proposed a costly frontal assault or to lure them out into the snow . He ordered Tsalesh and the others to get their gear as they were moving out to hit both Valon and the Empire . The operation was a success and the facility was captured . While standing guard outside , the squad spotted several of Valon ' s men and reported to the lieutenant . They headed in the direction of the pirates and stumbled upon a camp which they cleared out from hostilities . The scouts had tracked the pirates ' trail back to the Star of Coruscant , a massive dreadnought in the Starship Graveyard . Iresso theorized the pirates intended to repair the ship and use it as a flagship , which was something they could not allow . Private . Kree suggested that they strike at the engines while the Barsen ' thor lure Valon out . Lieutenant Iresso agreed , and said they would signal the Jedi when they had disabled the engines . Tsalesh and the squad was successful in disabling the engines , and the Jedi was able to overpower Valon . After their completed mission they headed to Outpost Zerek where they remained in order to properly thank the Jedi . They handed some of their equipment to the Barsen ' thor as they would no longer need it . They also informed the Jedi that Lieutenant Iress would meet the Jedi at its ship . Private . Calewyn said the Jedi was one of them now and wished the best of luck . Tsalesh and the others would then leave Hoth and journey back to their respective planet . Personality and traits . Tsalesh was a recruit with seemingly light experience , as the mission on Hoth would bring out . After their failed missions and low morale , Tsalesh was subjective to the group pressure and joined everyone in their desperation against the Valon , the pirate leader . The height of his desperation could be seen as he shouted out that they had tried everything to defeat Valon . With the Barsen ' thor leading their squad , he would gain more confidence as they accomplished more missions and eventually defeated the pirate leader . Tsalesh had a mottled blue skin color and black eyes . He spoke his species ' language and wore a white chestguard armor with blue markings , along with boots , greaves , gloves and a blaster rifle . Behind the scenes . Tsalesh was created for " " , a released by BioWare on December 20 , 2011 .
