Biography . Servant of the Emperor . Vill Goir was a male Human Dark Side Adept in service to the Galactic Emperor Palpatine . The Emperor , reborn in a clone body after his death at the Battle of Endor , ruled his Dark Empire from the Deep Core planet Byss . Palpatine solidified his power base by creating an elite cabal of Dark Jedi , the Dark Side Elite . Consisting of seven members , the cadre was led by Executor Sedriss QL , while Vill Goir was chosen to be his substitute , assistant and overall second in command of the group . The Dark Side Elite was headquartered on the planet Vjun , inside Bast Castle , the former citadel of Palpatine ' s apprentice Darth Vader . While stationed there , Goir instructed one of the fellow Dark Jedi , Kam Solusar , in lightsaber combat . In 10 ABY , the Emperor met his demise once again in battle with Jedi Luke Skywalker and his sister Leia Organa Solo near the New Republic Pinnacle Base . Shortly thereafter , Solusar defected from the Dark Side Elite , driven to the light side by Skywalker . While the Empire waited for Palpatine to return in another clone body , Executor Sedriss proceeded to put in motion Operation Shadow Hand , a series of campaigns to conquer neutral worlds . During one such campaign , Goir accompanied Sedriss to the factory world of Balmorra . After the death of the Emperor , the ruler of the planet , Governor Hinch Beltane , had started dealing with the New Republic , forcing Sedriss to intervene . Arriving aboard the Star Destroyer " Avenger " and joining an Imperial fleet stationed in orbit of Balmorra , Goir and fellow Dark Side Elite member Krdys Mordi served as Sedriss ' sergeants at arms during the campaign . Sedriss contacted Beltane on the viewscreen , demanding from him to turn his factories under Imperial control and face execution for his treason . Beltane refused to the terms , forcing Sedriss to launch a ground assault on the planet . Sedriss initially believed that he would have the upper had , as he had the newest Shadow Droid s at his disposal . During the battle , however , Beltane deployed his newest creations , the X - 1 Viper droids . Goir realized that Beltane had produced the droid in secret , thus betraying Balmorra ' s agreements with the Empire , and he called for Sedriss to order a planetary bombardment of Balmorra in retaliation . Mordi concurred with Goir , yet Sedriss did not do as advised by his cohorts . The Executor explained that he wanted to obtain the X - 1 Vipers to supply the Imperial war machine . Negotiating a peace treaty with Beltane that granted the planet freedom in exchange for a contract to buy the droids , Sedriss left Balmorra . Showdown on Ossus . Shortly after the Battle of Balmorra , Palpatine took his final clone body . Shortly thereafter , an Imperial probe droid detected Skywalker and the defector Solusar on the planet Ossus — which had once served as the headquarters of the Jedi — who were researching the history of the Jedi Order . Goir and Sedriss took a squad of dark troopers , specialized stormtroopers empowered with the dark side , and flew aboard the Imperial hunter " Scourge One " toward their confrontation with the Jedi . As they were landing on Ossus , " Scourge One " sensors detected that the two Jedi Skywalker and Solusar were accompanied by a large group of humanoids armed with primitive weapons , the Ysanna tribe native to Ossus . Sedriss ordered Goir to unleashed their dark trooper squad upon the primitives , but after a prolonged fight the troopers were slain by the Jedi and the Ysanna . Noticing that Skywalker was weakened by the fight , Goir and Sedriss moved in to attack , utilizing Force choke against their adversaries ; the Force attack was blocked by Skywalker , however . Intent on capturing the Jedi alive , Sedriss ordered Goir not to kill them but only slice off their fighting arms . Sedriss and Goir ignited their lightsabers and charged at the Jedi . Goir attacked Solusar , intent on bringing the defector to justice . However , having learned Goir ' s lightsaber techniques back on Vjun , Solusar outmaneuvered the darksider and killed him by cleaving him in half . Sedriss himself was killed by the ancient Neti Jedi Ood Bnar , who had spent millennia in a tree - like hibernation state on Ossus . After being notified of the deaths of Goir and Sedriss , Palpatine appointed his advisers Xecr Nist and Tedryn - Sha as their replacements , with Nist becoming the new Executor Sha taking on Goir ' s position of second in command . Personality and traits . Vill Goir was a Dark Side Adept who pledged his allegiance to Emperor Palpatine . He was considered to be the highest ranking member of the Dark Side Elite after Sedriss , and he was unafraid to argue with the Executor and voice his opinion , believing in the necessity of the orbital bombardment of Balmorra . He respected his superior , however , and demanded the Jedi on Ossus to address Sedriss by his full title . Goir was willing to bring the defector Solusar to justice , charging at him recklessly to his death . Dressed in traditional garments of the Dark Side Elite , Goir wore black robes complete with a long cape , as well as heavy boots and gauntlets , and had a distinctive yellow glow in his eyes . Powers and abilities . An individual immersed in the dark side of the Force , Vill Goir was a Dark Jedi and an extension of his Emperor ' s will . Like the rest of the Dark Side Elite , Goir piloted an I - 7 Howlrunner . Goir knew how to perform certain dark side techniques , employing the Force choke ability against Skywalker and Solusar . He was adept at lightsaber combat , having instructed Solusar on Vjun . That fact later played against him , when Solusar used Goir ' s own tricks to best him . Behind the scenes .
