He was one of several individuals that were part of team headed by Prince ss Leia Organa for a mission known as Operation Yellow Moon . Biography . Antrot was a male Abednedo tech specialist who was assigned to Operation Yellow Moon at the suggestion of General Airen Cracken . Basteel . On the way to the planet Basteel , Antrot watched with little interest as Kidi Aleri and Lokmarcha argued about what should be done with Imperials should the Alliance win the war . During the turbulent approach to Eladro City , Antrot was able to stay firmly planted to the deck of the " Mellcrawler " due to the fact that he had customized the soles of his boots to be magnetized . As the ship entered the tunnel that led to the city , he became nervous and revealed he was claustrophobic . However , once they landed and proceeded to the bazaar , he was quickly distracted by all the vendors there . He rejoined the team in Bon Yoth ' s home and made the climb up into the tunnels above the city . Antrot then placed a hyper - transceiver beacon and activated it . He climbed out of the tunnels and waited for Nien Nunb to come pick him up . When Nunb was delayed , Antrot provided the team with a small piece of flexible insulation in an attempt to protect them from the harsh climate . Sesid . Once safely off planet , Antrot warmed up with the rest of the team on the " Mellcrawler " . He asked Nunb why it had taken so long for him to pick them up and learned that the Empire had arrived and was checking all ships registration and paperwork . The next day , when Aleri revealed that she suspected the codes being used were ones that the Imperials could read , he stated that he was just using the ones that were proved by General Cracken ' s team . When they arrived at Sesid , Antrot expressed concern that the beacon wouldn ' t withstand the temperature at the suggested placement site but Organa explained to him that they would set it up on the side of the volcano and not in it . After they landed on Thrinaka , Antrot bought some local clothes to blend in with the tourists , including oversized shades and a cap bearing the logo of a local fishing charter . He traveled with the rest of his team to the volcanic island that was the location for the beacon . He and Aleri were escorted by Lokmarcha up the slope of the volcano to place the beacon while Organa stayed behind on the beach to await a rendezvous with Aurelant . After activating the beacon , he returned to the beach and proceeded to head back to Thrinaka . When the team was intercepted by Imperial forces and attempted to flee , Organa ordered Antrot to rig a detonator on a timer and attach it to a float - vest in an attempt to disable their pursuers . He was able to knock out one waveskimmer but was soon overcome with nausea from the violent evasive maneuvers . After Organa sought shelter on the " Daggadol " , he had to helped off their boat by the pirates . Once Organa convinced the pirates to ally themselves with the Rebel Alliance , Aurelant asked Aleri if she could tune a Horvax - 16 transmitter . She replied that she was familiar with the Horvax - 8 but did not have any knowledge on the subaquatic amplifying array that the Horvax - 16 used . Antrot spoke up and said he had experience with customizing communication equipment . The pair was tasked with configuring the equipment so they could arrange their escape off the planet . Jaresh . After landing in the village of Jowloon , Antrot accompanied the rest of his team to meet up with Nyessa , the local contact on the planet . Nyessa provided riding animals so that the rebels could make it to the communication tower and plant the beacon . Antrot rode behind Organa on an urda . When they reached the tower , Antrot complained about all the physical activity he was having to perform in this mission . After Aleri placed the beacon , Organa revealed the true nature of Operation Yellow Moon to the team . Antrot was unsurprised by the deception and simply stated , " Intelligence personnel always lie . " They returned to Jowloon and setup an ambush in Old Grimshaw ' s barn . Antrot complained about the itchy dusty atmosphere of the barn and assured Organa that the remote charge he had rigged was functioning properly . Once the Imperial forces arrived , he set off the charge that caused the accumulated animals to stampede and overrun the Imperials . As they left the planet , Antrot remarked that the load of fertilizer that Nunb had acquired for trade was dangerously volatile . After they escaped the ambush by the " Shieldmaiden " , Antrot met with the rest of the team to decide on a plan of action . When Organa decided that they would continue to Yellow Moon in an attempt to warn off any ships that might show up , Antrot stated that he wanted to go to see if his beacons had worked as planned . Organa took him aside and asked him to rig the " Mellcrawler " to explode if the situation became dire . He informed the princess that with all the fertilizer Nunb had stored onboard , it would be very easy to create a large explosion . Organa swore him to secrecy and went with him to the hold of the ship . Along the way , they passed Lokmarcha and Aleri in a romantic embrace , and Antrot expressed confusion at the couple ' s relationship since they had spent most of the journey bickering . Organa explained that love didn ' t always make sense . Galaan . After they arrived at Yellow Moon , their ship was captured by the " Shieldmaiden " . Antrot pulled out the detonator but Lokmarcha revealed that he knew of Organa ' s plan and told Antrot to disassemble the detonator and hide the parts in his pockets instead . He was captured but was able to escape his cell after Lokmarcha detonated the electromagnetic pulse bomb in his chest that disabled all the electronics in the area . He started to put together the detonator but it was also disabled by the electromagnetic pulse . At Organa ' s request , he hot - wired the cell door so that she could lock Khione in . He was bound with binders to appear like a prisoner so Organa could bluff their way past security . However , he didn ' t realize it was a ruse , and securely locked the binders , restricting his movements and making it hard to reassemble the detonator . When they were discovered in the landing bay attempting to escape , Antrot realized that the " Mellcrawler " wasn ' t oriented properly and the explosion wouldn ' t do any hull damage . He decided to board the yacht and move it , but was shot in the arm . He managed to board the yacht and pilot it into the proper position to cause the most damage . He detonated the explosives and was killed in the massive blast that also heavily damaged the " Shieldmaiden " . Personality and traits . Antrot had small black eyes with a knobby ridge over them . He was very neurotic , suffering from both claustrophobia and agoraphobia , and very socially awkward . He had the tendency to talk in his sleep . Skills and abilities . Antrot was very adept at both demolitions and working with technology . Equipment . Antrot wore a powered monocle . His boots were customized with magnetic soles to help him keep his balance on ships . He carried a two meter square piece of flexible insulation in one of his pockets .
