A Herglic male resided on the planet Coruscant during the Galactic Empire ' s reign . Working as a criminal , he partnered with a Pau ' an male drug dealer , with whom he set up operations in the planet ' s seedier sections . Shortly after the Empire ' s destruction of the planet Alderaan in 0 BBY , the Herglic and the Pau ' an met with the Alderaanian fugitives Anandra Milon and Santigo Milon in a cantina on Level 1997 . The Pau ' an and Anandra discussed the possibility of the Alderaanians working for the criminals , but the Pau ' an considered the eight - year - old Santigo too young to be useful and was only willing to take on Anandra . The girl attempted to persuade the Pau ' an to take them both , but the meeting was interrupted by the arrival of a stormtrooper and a Coruscant underworld police officer in the cantina . Upon seeing the Imperials , the Milons fled the cantina , prompting the stormtrooper to give chase . The Herglic then followed the trooper at a distance down to Level 1996 . There , he found the stormtrooper on a catwalk , standing over a defeated Anandra , who had fought the trooper to buy time for Santigo to escape . The Herglic lifted the trooper into the air and threw him from the catwalk , sending him plummeting through Level 1995 to his death . The Herglic then told Anandra that she might find shelter on Level 1782 , where a group of fugitives had set up a camp amongst the level ' s junk yards . When Anandra questioned why he had helped her , the Herglic simply stated that he knew what her people of Alderaan had suffered . Later , after successfully locating the fugitive camp and taking refuge there with Santigo , Anandra spotted another Herglic , whom she initially mistook for the criminal before realizing the second Herglic ' s skin color differed . Personality and traits . The Herglic was huge in size , with enormous muscles , a mouth wider than Anandra Milon ' s entire shoulders , and a body large enough that he barely fit on the catwalk where he saved the Alderaanian . With black skin and eye s resembling oily quagmires , the Herglic was considered monstrous in appearance by Anandra , who did not recognize his species . When he and his partner met with the Milons , the Herglic stood behind the seated Pau ' an and allowed him to do all the talking . He sympathized with the children , however , as his people had faced similar persecution to that which the Alderaanians were experiencing and so chose to aid them in escaping the Empire . After killing the stormtrooper attacking Anandra , he told her to act as though he had had no part in the event and explained his sympathy for her plight . He spoke in a breathier and higher - pitched voice than Anandra expected . Behind the scenes . The Herglic first appeared in " One Thousand Levels Down , " a short story written by Alexander Freed and published in " Star Wars Insider " 151 in 2014 .
