A Kabieroun native to the planet of the same name , Detien Kaileel was fortunate enough to leave his homeworld before it was subjugated by the Galactic Empire . He went on to study police science at the Balaidas Academy , though he was forced to leave the academy when the Empire closed it down to non - Humans . He then spent over a decade working as a detective for a Sentinel Agency in the Mid Rim , and proved to be talented at his job . During an undercover operation against a prominent crime lord , Kaileel was badly wounded and decided to seek employment in a more safe environment . Kaileel eventually earned a position working for Galaxy Tours as the Security Chief of a luxury liner named the " Kuari Princess " . He proved capable at this role , earning the loyalty of his subordinates and making many friends ; among them were Celia Durasha and Dap Nechel , with whom Kaileel often played B ' shingh . Kaileel was particularly close to Durasha and acted as a sort of father figure to the young woman . Rebel . Eventually , Kaileel became disillusioned with his life and sought to directly oppose the Empire . He began to secretly steal blasters from the ship , supplying them to the fledgling Alliance to Restore the Republic . He continued his criminal activity for several months without being caught , though , in his capacity as head of security , he vouched for each of his men to the " Kuari Princess " captain so that they would not be blamed for his actions . The disappearance of these blasters was beginning to threaten his career , but Kaileel did not cease his smuggling . Several days before the destruction of Alderaan , he took another load of blasters to Rebels on Mantooine . Things on Mantooine did not go very well , and Kaileel returned a nervous wreck , beginning to suspect that the Empire was onto him . He was allowed to momentarily escape his thoughts when a fight broke out between passengers on the luxury cruiser and later met with Celia Durasha to play a routine game of B ' shingh . Kaileel quickly realized something was wrong with Durasha , and comforted her on the loss of her brother , who had been killed fighting Rebels on Ralltiir . Kaileel revealed his growing sympathy for the Rebels and told Durasha of his opinions of the Empire . Although the Human denounced his comments and warned him of speaking that way on an Imperial - aligned ship , Kaileel had managed to sow seeds of doubt in his friend ' s mind . Apprehension . The entire conversation had been overheard by Adion Lang , an Imperial Security Bureau lieutenant who had been sent to monitor Kaileel ' s activities . Lang placed Kaileel under arrest and had him transported to the " Kuari Princess " brig , where he stayed in solitude for several hours ; the Kabieroun accepted the charges that were brought up against him . Eventually , Durasha was allowed to visit him , though she was dismayed at his refusal to lie to the interrogators . Kaileel had accepted his fate , though his friend was far more reluctant to do so ; she stabbed the stormtrooper standing guard , and used his blaster to slay a second trooper who appeared moments later . Although he appreciated his friend ' s help , Kaileel was pessimistic about their chances of escaping ; he knew that the ship ' s security officers — the very men and women he had helped train and watched over just days prior — would be waiting to intercept them . Durasha had planned to escape , however , and had persuaded Dap Nechel to create a distraction which would occupy the vessel ' s security officials . She had also made arrangements with many of Kaileel ' s most trusted colleagues to leave the turbolifts unmanned so that they could use them to reach the docking bay , where they hoped to commandeer a ship and flee . Adion Lang was waiting for them , however , and held the duo at gunpoint in one of the " Kuari Princess " hangars . Durasha pleaded with Lang — who had once been her lover — to allow Kaileel to escape , though the Imperial refused . Kaileel attempted to kill him , firing at the Human , though it missed . Lang shot at the Kabieroun in retaliation ; the blaster bolt hit him in the chest , and although Kaileel was able to get off another shot — which , like the first , went wide of its target — Lang ' s shot killed him . Durasha ultimately escaped Lang ' s clutches and escaped the " Kuari Princess " to begin her life as a fugitive . Personality and traits . Kaileel was a morally upright being who showed sympathy towards the victims of the Empire that he had never met ; though he admitted that the Empire had never harmed him personally , he risked and ultimately sacrificed his life to fight what he saw as a corrupt and tyrannical regime . He was also very nervous , though , and found it difficult to keep his anxiety in check at times . Kaileel was a kind being , who went out of his way to ensure that his friends and colleagues stayed out of harm ' s way . During his time smuggling for the Rebellion , he explicitly told the captain of the " Kuari Princess " that the ship ' s security officers were all innocent , hoping they would not be punished for his crimes . Additionally , he showed considerable companionship to the lonely Celia Durasha , and acted as a shoulder for her to cry on after the death of her sibling . Behind the scenes . Detien Kaileel was created by " Star Wars " author Charlene Newcomb for a short story named " A Certain Point of View " , appearing first in " Star Wars Adventure Journal 8 " and later in " Tales from the Empire " and " " . The story was based on an image appearing on the front of " Riders of the Maelstrom " , a supplement published by West End Games . The image depicts Kaileel and his friends playing B ' shingh on the " Kuari Princess " , and was later used to illustrate the story on Hyperspace . Although the creature in the image who eventually became Kaileel appears to be a female character , " A Certain Point of View " establishes him as male .
