Furgan Furgan was an ambassador for his home planet of Carida , home to the Imperial Military Academy , despite his second - class status as a non - huMan . Like the Empire and many of his fellow Caridans , Ambassador Furgan also looked past his second - class status and was extremely loyal to Emperor Palpatine and his New Order . Biography . After the destruction of Byss and the death of the last of Palpatine ' s clones , Furgan felt it was time for him to strike a grievous blow upon the leadership of the New Republic and place control of what remained of the Empire under the rule of another Force - sensitive Emperor . Attempt to destabilize the New Republic . To fulfill the first objective , Furgan had a batch of nano - destroyer s produced . They were then attuned to the New Republic Chief of State Mon Mothma ' s genetic structure . When he came to Coruscant under the guise of a pilgrimage to Imperial City , Furgan splashed a drink into Mothma ' s face . It contained the nano - destroyers , which were quickly absorbed into her skin . However , Mothma had no clue as to the degree of danger she was actually in until weeks later . Well before his visit to Coruscant , Furgan had forced a Mon Calamari prisoner named Terpfen to submit to brain surgery . The surgery resulted in the removal of certain sections of Terpfen ' s brain and the replacement of those sections with synthetic computer imitations that allowed Furgan to control Terpfen ' s actions . The only evidence that remained of the surgery was the scars on Terpfen ' s head , it was impossible to detect any of the implants . Terpfen was eventually released and found his way into a position as Admiral Gial Ackbar ' s chief engineer . Some weeks after the incident where Furgan poisoned Mon Mothma , Admiral Ackbar volunteered to fly Minister of State Leia Organa Solo to Vortex in his personal B - wing , so that she could attend the Vor s ' celebration of the beginning of the storm season at the Cathedral of Winds . Terpfen sabotaged Ackbar ' s B - wing so that it would crash into the Cathedral once it entered the atmosphere of Vortex . While the sabotage did not result in the deaths of either Ackbar or Organa Solo , the destruction of the Cathedral of Winds and the death and maiming of many Vors caused Ackbar to resign his commission in embarrassment . Mission to Anoth . While the New Republic started to squabble amongst itself in the absence of Ackbar and Mothma ' s leadership , Furgan began the second phase of his plan . About the only Force - sensitive people he was aware of were Luke Skywalker , his students , Leia Organa Solo , and her children . He knew that it would be difficult to influence Skywalker , his students , or Organa Solo , because all of them were adults . So he decided to focus on kidnapping Organa Solo ' s children , with the bulk of his efforts focused on Anakin Solo , who was still an infant at the time . Unlike his siblings , who were living on Coruscant , Anakin was still living on the planet Anoth , under the watchful eye of Organa Solo ' s childhood friend and aide , Winter . While he didn ' t know the location of Anoth , Furgan knew what kind of terrain his forces would encounter once the location of the hidden planet was found and a mission was launched to kidnap Anakin Solo . He had the MT - AT developed and manufactured on Carida specifically for Anoth ' s mountainous terrain . When Ackbar left from Coruscant for Mon Calamari , he made a side trip to the hidden planet . Unbeknownst to him , Terpfen had hidden a tracking device aboard Ackbar ' s ship and upon receiving Anoth ' s coordinates , relayed them to Ambassador Furgan . Furgan immediately loaded Carida ' s only capital ship , the Dreadnaught " Vendetta " , with MT - ATs and stormtroopers who had graduated from the Imperial Military Academy . His departure aboard the Dreadnaught was made all the more urgent when Kyp Durron , in command of the Sun Crusher superweapon , and under the influence of the spirit of the long - dead Sith Lord Exar Kun , fired a resonance torpedo into Carida ' s sun . The " Vendetta " set course for Anoth and entered hyperspace well before Carida ' s sun exploded . Upon the " Vendetta ' s " arrival in the orbit of Anoth , Furgan decided that he would personally oversee the kidnapping of Anakin Solo . He descended from orbit inside one of the MT - ATs , alongside a reluctant stormtrooper sergeant who silently suffered Furgan ' s screams of panic . Once on the ground , the eight MT - ATs emerged from their pods , searching for weak spots in the walls of the stronghold with their blaster cannons . They eventually found a pair of heavy blast doors and began making their way towards them . When they began to test the strength of the blast doors , one of the fortress ' s defense systems — the Foreign Intruder Defense Organism ( FIDO ) — destroyed four of the MT - ATs before succumbing to the fire of the rest of the spider walkers . The threat destroyed , the MT - ATs began a new assault upon the blast doors . A split eventually began to form and one of the MT - ATs used its front claws to rip open what remained of the blast doors . They walked into the indoor chamber . Several minutes and several stormtrooper deaths later , Furgan finally found Anakin Solo under the supervision of a TDL nanny droid that protested Furgan ' s decision to kidnap Anakin . Furgan scoffed at the droid and ordered the stormtrooper that accompanied him to fetch the baby for him . The stormtrooper was then summarily dispatched by the nanny droid ' s four hidden blasters . Despite the fact that he was only an ambassador , Furgan ' s reflexes were good enough that he blasted the nanny droid before it could kill him . He then encountered a newly reinstated Ackbar , Organa Solo , and Terpfen . He held Anakin up in front of him , threatening to snap the baby ' s neck . Furgan vs Terpfen . He eventually collided with a power droid , and Terpfen , who was now free from his mental slavery at the hands of Furgan , grabbed Anakin and returned him to Organa Solo . Furgan took this opportunity to make his escape and ran for the entrance where the MT - ATs were still sitting . Terpfen followed close behind , revenge on his mind . Furgan scrambled into one of the waiting MT - ATs and Terpfen took control of another as well . A running gunfight between the two MT - ATs ensued , and eventually turned into a physical fight between the two walkers , eventually ending with Furgan ' s walker taking a long dive over the cliff , where he was killed . Behind the scenes . Ambassador Furgan was created by Kevin J . Anderson .
