She arrested the First Order Security Bureau Agent Terex after he undertook a rogue mission to destroy the Resistance . Biography . After the First Order Security Bureau Agent Terex defied Captain Phasma ' s warnings not to embark on a rogue mission to destroy the Resistance , the First Order dispatched Commander Malarus to punish Terex . Malarus brought a Maxima - A class heavy cruiser and several TIE / fo space superiority fighter s to the desert planet that Terex had pursued Poe Dameron to . Malarus ' space forces wiped out the Ranc gang ' s fleet of " Uglies " and destroyed Terex ' s flagship " Carrion Spike " . Malarus then led an Atmospheric Assault Lander and a contingent of stormtroopers and TIE fighters to the planet ' s surface . She greeted the Dameron and his droid BB - 8 as he emerged from the cave with the disabled C - 3PO and a dejected Terex . After exchanging pleasantries , Dameron warned Malarus that his Black Squadron were running footage of their meeting in case she ordered her men to gun him down . Malarus complimented Dameron for his political savvy before ordering him to hand over Terex . Dameron complied but told Terex about his defeat before dragging Terex towards Malarus . Malarus , Terex and her stormtroopers then boarded the bulk freighter " Romary " . There , she questioned Captain Perrili about her connections to the Resistance . Despite Perrili ' s claims about her business just being business , Malarus ordered her to be shot and " Romary " rigged to explode . She then ordered their tanker to siphon the " Romary " < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > s fuel supply . Malarus then took the " Enshado " to a hyperspace ring . There , she and the " Enshado " were then confronted by Dameron , who demanded them to leave without the " Romary " < nowiki > ' < / nowiki > s fuel or they would blow up the " Romary " . Malarus then told her forces to hold off Dameron ' s forces as the " Enshado " made their way to the hyperspace ring . Unfortunately , Dameron ' s forces destroyed the ring . Malarus , knowing they were under orders to avoid a direct confrontation with the resistance , had the tanker ' s crew abandon the tanker . Malarus then made sure to set the tanker on Self - destruct . Unfortunately , only the " Romary " blew up and Dameron ' s forces took the tanker . Malarus then spoke to Terrex about Dameron . She and Terex then went to Abednedo to capture Oddy Muva . After capturing Muva , she then told his wife Sowa Chuan to tell Dameron about her husband ' s capture .

She was then informed that X - wings were coming their way and that another officer had captured Jessika Pava , Kare Kun and their team at Spalex . Malarus then had Dameron and Wexley taken aboard the " Enshado " . She then took the " Enshado " to Spalex to capture the rest of Black Squadron . She then ordered Terex to kill Muva , see him as dead weight . Unfortunately , Terex released Muva , who then helped Dameron and Wexley escape . Malarus and Terex then took a " Xi " - class light shuttle to Spalex to finish off the last of Black Squadron . They were then stopped by Dameron and Wexley in their X - wings . Malarus then watched as Muva made a suicide run on the " Enshado " and then made her escape into hyperspace . Malarus then went to Cato Neimoidia using Dameron ' s own X - wing . She then went to head to headwith Dameron . During their dogfight , Malarus did not care about civilian casualties . As went in for the kill , Dameron ' s astromech , BB - 8 took control of the fighter . After BB - 8 was picked up by Dameron , Malarus crashed . She was then confronted by a official of House Reya , who arrested her and would give her a trial . Personality and traits . Malarus was a tall blonde – hair ed human woman with an amber right eye .
