Rajah Ubooki Rajah Ubooki was a male Bimm who served as an Imperial Intelligence agent . He masqueraded as Supreme Prophet of the dark side Kadann in 5 ABY , becoming known as the false Kadann to the select few who knew of the deceit . After the Battle of Endor , Imperial Intelligence enacted an elaborate ploy in order to tighten their grip over the Empire ' s populace : it established the Church of the Dark Side , a sham religion supposedly made up of the Prophets of the Dark Side , who were believed dead by the Empire at the time . Ubooki was selected to impersonate Supreme Prophet Kadann , and for a time acted under the orders of his superiors , becoming greatly idolized by the spiritually - starved citizens of the Empire . Eventually , however , the false Kadann and his peers grew discontent with following others and decided to strike out as their own faction . Kadann established a headquarters for his coterie at Space Station Scardia in the Null Zone , prophesying as the true Supreme Prophet Kadann had , although the impostor did not possess Force vision . He " foresaw " that whoever found and donned the Glove of Darth Vader would lay claim to the Empire and become Palpatine ' s successor as Galactic Emperor . Many high - ranking Imperials searched for the elusive gauntlet until Trioculus and the Central Committee found it . Kadann gave them his blessing and Trioculus became the leader of his own Imperial faction , vying for the leadership of the Empire with Ysanne Isard . Kadann ultimately recanted his blessing and launched a coup against Trioculus , proclaiming himself to be the Emperor . His reign was short . The impostor Prophets clashed with the Central Committee and captured its leaders . Kadann punished them and later attempted to access the Lost City of the Jedi on Yavin 4 , but barely escaped with his life after an encounter with the New Republic . With his slave , Triclops , the false Prophet eventually escaped Yavin 4 and fled to Scardia . Waiting for him were Grand Admiral Afsheen Makati and Dark Jedi Azrakel , who , believing him to be the true Kadann , killed him , ending his ruse . Biography . Ruse . A short , stocky male of the Bimm species , Rajah Ubooki belonged to a litter of many brothers , eighteen of which owned and operated the series of shops known as Glah Ubooki ' s Strange & Wondrous Imports under the collective alias " Glah Ubooki . " Rajah himself was a thespian and con artist who served as an agent of Imperial Intelligence during the Galactic Civil War . In 4 ABY , members of the secretive , Imperial - aligned Prophets of the Dark Side , led by their Supreme Prophet , Kadann , on Coruscant , predicted that Galactic Emperor Palpatine would be defeated by his nemesis Luke Skywalker during the impending Battle of Endor . Enraged at such a negative prophecy , Palpatine decided he no longer required the services of Kadann and his disciples . The Prophets fled to Dromund Kaas but were tracked down by legions of Imperial Inquisitors , who slew many of them . Palpatine believed that all of the Prophets had been killed , but in truth , a number of them , including Kadann , had gone into hiding on remote Bosthirda . Their prophecy ultimately came to pass : Palpatine was killed at Endor and an Empire devoid of leadership fell into disarray . Several months later , in 5 ABY , a number of Imperials who held power on Coruscant devised a scheme to keep their subjects loyal and content . Under Palpatine , religion had been almost entirely outlawed , so acting - Emperor Sate Pestage ordered the creation of a new religion to which he hoped the masses would flock . He commissioned former Director of Imperial Intelligence Cronal — once a Prophet of the Dark Side himself — to found the Church of the Dark Side , which the Empire claimed was led by the restored Prophets of the Dark Side . The plot was also intended to help certain Imperial Moffs retain power . A number of Imperial Intelligencers were drafted into the scheme to impersonate high profile Prophets , and Ubooki was assigned to masquerade as Supreme Prophet Kadann , while his Null comrade Heingort Giddis acted as High Prophet Jedgar . The Church of the Dark Side was very successful , and its members were idolized by both Imperial citizens and members of the Imperial Military and other institutions . The " false Kadann , " as he became known by those who were aware of his true identity , lacked the Force - sensitivity of the actual Prophets , but made a number of " prophecies " anyway , relying on a far - reaching network of spies and informants to provide him with information which he could use to make educated guesses . When these guesses proved incorrect , the Prophets relied on other , mundane means to make them come true . They were unscrupulous in these endeavors and were content to resort to murder , bribery , or any number of crimes to uphold their fraudulent reputation . Prophecy . Eventually , however , the phony Prophets grew dissatisfied with following orders and decided to form their own Imperial faction , answering to no higher authority . The devotion shown to them by their Imperial subjects meant that they had great support . Kadann established his headquarters at Space Station Scardia , located in the Null Zone in the Mid Rim . The region was very remote and suffered from heavy radiation , so few beings ventured into the Prophets ' territory . Kadann took with him huge amounts of expensive artwork and stolen valuables , turning much of the space station into his own personal museum . While the majority of Imperials remained loyal to Ysanne Isard , who had taken the reigns of the Empire after Sate Pestage , Kadann ' s network of spies was loyal only to him ; that , combined with the reverence most religious Imperials held for the Church of the Dark Side , made he and his cohorts powerful individuals . Kadann took to wearing the true Supreme Prophet ' s hallmark sparkling black regalia and using trance - inducing tree bark from Endor , as well as colored chalk powder , to make himself appear mystical and clairvoyant . He also adorned himself with a number of lofty titles , such as " Dreamer of Dark Dreams , Supreme Prophet of the Empire . " After spending some time attracting the attention of Imperial warlords and the fledgling New Republic , Kadann made his first major prophecy since leaving Imperial Center : he " foretold " that the rightful heir to Palpatine ' s Empire would find and wear the Glove of Darth Vader , an almost indestructible gauntlet that had supposedly survived the destruction of the second Death Star at Endor . Many Imperial warlords , desperate to gain Kadann ' s " dark blessing " and become Emperor , scrambled to locate the glove , with little initial success . The newly founded Central Committee of Grand Moffs was hailing Trioculus as the rightful heir to the Empire , because he was , they claimed , Palpatine ' s son . While many accepted his claim for the throne and flocked to his banner , others refused to stand by anyone who did not have Kadann ' s blessing . Thus , they searched for the glove and eventually located it , on Mon Calamari . Trioculus ' right - hand - man and effectively the power behind his would - be throne , Grand Moff Bertroff Hissa , arranged to meet with the Prophets at Scardia Station , though Kadann had little respect for Trioculus ; like the false Prophet , he was a fraud . Kadann had his agents research Trioculus , and they found that he was not who he claimed to be : while Palpatine had fathered a three - eyed son , albeit unconventionally , his third eye was located at the back on his head , while Trioculus ' was on his forehead . Kadann ' s spies learned that the true son of Palpatine , Triclops , had been killed because he suffered from insanity . Trioculus , Bertroff Hissa , and some of their personnel arrived at Scardia Station to meet with the Prophets . Kadann met them in the Chamber of Dark Visions and greeted Trioculus , but he was disrespectful toward the former slavelord , accusing him of lying about his ancestry and murdering Palpatine ' s true son , over whom he had authority while overseeing slave operations in the Spice Mines of Kessel . Trioculus denied murdering Triclops , and Hissa explained that Palpatine ' s son had been secretly banished to a secure facility on the planet Duro . The Grand Moff informed Kadann that the Central Committee deemed Triclops too unstable to rule the Empire , but that Trioculus would be a suitable figurehead to whom many would ally themselves , and who could keep the Empire in one piece . Kadann was satisfied with his reasoning , and gave Trioculus his dark blessing — as well as another apocryphal prophecy . He told the former slavelord that there was a prophecy of a Jedi Prince from the Lost City of the Jedi on Yavin 4 , who could challenge and topple he who donned Vader ' s gauntlet . Coup . Trioculus went to Yavin 4 and razed the moon in his search for the Lost City of the Jedi , but , with the help of Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and the New Republic , the Jedi Prince — known only as Ken — escaped , and Trioculus was unable to locate the Lost City . Around this time , Trioculus stopped wearing the Glove of Darth Vader because it was deteriorating his health , donning a replica gauntlet instead . Kadann ' s spies learned of this , and Prophet Jedgar quickly fetched the true glove for his master , who kept it amongst his art collection . Trioculus and Hissa put great effort into capturing Ken , ultimately apprehending him at Cloud City , Bespin ; however , Trioculus himself fell into a trap set by crime lord Zorba Desilijic Tiure . The self - proclaimed Emperor was imprisoned in carbonite , and Ken escaped into the custody of the New Republic . By this point , however , Kadann had no intention of continuing to co - operate with the Central Committee ; he wanted power for himself , intending to launch a " coup d ' état " and usurp Trioculus ' rule . Kadann gathered all of his fellow ersatz Prophets to make another prophecy , telling them what their futures held in store , even though all present knew it was spurious . In front of his followers in the Chamber of Dark Visions , he recanted his blessing of Trioculus and his support for the Central Committee , proclaiming that the " Dark One " of ancient times would succeed Trioculus , but that he would communicate to the physical world through Kadann ; for all intents and purposes , the false Prophet had proclaimed himself Emperor . Like Trioculus ' reign , however , it was not legitimate ; Ysanne Isard was the official head of the Empire at that time , but Kadann was still held in great reverence by a portion of the Imperial populace , who supported him steadfastly . In addition to large numbers of ground forces , he commanded many Star Destroyers . He ordered his excited " disciples " to retrieve ancient relics from the planet Duro ; when the relics were placed at the feet , he promised to destroy the light side of the Force . He also made another grandiose , false prophecy that when a being " pierced by gold " visited Mount Yoda on the planet Dagobah , the New Republic would begin to crumble . Kadann ' s underlings quickly spread his message to those who had pledged loyalty to Trioculus , until each Imperial faction and the New Republic knew of his coup . Trioculus ' frozen body was being kept by Zorba Desilijic Tiure in Cloud City , so Kadann dispatched his Null accomplice , " Jedgar , " to retrieve it in the Prophets ' personal ship , the " Scardia Voyager " . As Jedgar reached Bespin , the Central Committee members were launching a rescue operation of their own and had already stolen the carbonite slab from Zorba . The false prophets boarded Grand Moff Hissa ' s Moffship and Jedgar informed the Moffs of Kadann ' s coup . He decreed that their lives would be spared if they pledged allegiance to Emperor Kadann ; when Hissa refused , Jedgar blackmailed with him sensitive information compiled by Kadann ' s spies that would identify Hissa as an Imperial traitor , and the Grand Moff eventually relented and accepted Kadann ' s rule . Jedgar transferred Trioculus ' body onto the " Scardia Voyager " and returned to Kadann ' s headquarters . With fellow false Prophet Gornash , Kadann had the carbonite slab destroyed , wiping away any trace of Trioculus . Gornash suspected that it might not have been Trioculus they destroyed because Vader ' s supposedly - indestructible glove would have survived , but when Kadann showed him the true glove in his collection , Gornash ' s doubts were alleviated . Kadann was adamant that he had not made a mistake and destroyed a fake , but in actuality he was wrong : Zorba had outwitted everyone , publicly displaying the replica carbonite slab that Kadann had just destroyed , while the true Trioculus remained aboard his ship , the " Zorba Express " . Trial of the Central Committee . While Kadann believed he was destroying all trace of Trioculus , Jedgar went to Duro to retrieve the planet ' s treasures . His attempt was botched , however , after an encounter with the New Republic , which received assistance from Ken and Triclops , Palpatine ' s true son , who had escaped the penal facility and allied with the New Republic . After a large amount of toxic fluid threatened to wipe out Jedgar ' s forces , he fled the planet , empty - handed . With his newfound power , Kadann wanted to implement some changes to how his empire was run : he wished to reduce the power of any groups , such as the Grand Moffs , which could threaten him . Fearful of this , the Central Committee went rogue and abandoned the Empire . Kadann sent a large force to locate and apprehend them , but it was initially unsuccessful . The Moffs chanced upon Zorba Desilijic Tiure over Tatooine and found Trioculus ' real body in his ship . They disposed of Zorba and revived the former slavelord but he was soon assassinated by the New Republic . Meanwhile , Kadann made yet another fraudulent prophecy , claiming that when Luke Skywalker was imprisoned in Scardia Station , Ken would betray the location of the Lost City to the Prophets . The former Imperial Intelligence agents were later paid a visit by Zorba , who had survived the Moffs ' attempts to feed him to Tatooine ' s sarlacc . Zorba informed them he had vital information on the activities of the Central Committee , but he knew nothing Kadann was not already aware of . The false Supreme Prophet hoped that Zorba might know about the Lost City of the Jedi ; he was desperate to locate it so that he could access its main computer library , which contained much hidden knowledge of the Jedi that Kadann could use against his foes , but Zorba had no information . However , the Hutt proved useful in that he recorded a statement declaring the Grand Moffs traitors , giving consent for it to be used as evidence against them in their trial . Eventually , Kadann ' s forces apprehended Hissa and his accomplices , and immediately held a sham trial — the jury members were all Prophets of the Dark Side , with Kadann serving as the judge and Defeen , a Defel interrogation and torture expert , as the chief prosecutor . Grand Moffs Hissa , Muzzer , Dunhausen , and Thistleborn were taken to the Chamber of Dark Justice for the trial . Kadann made a secret prophecy as to the outcome of the trial , showing it to the jurors but telling them not to let it affect their final verdict . Zorba ' s evidence was shown , and the Grand Moffs were accused of treason and disloyalty . Muzzer , Dunhausen , and Thistleborn pleaded guilty , but Hissa refused to , claiming that for service to the Prophets on Duro he should be hailed as a hero . The jury disagreed ; they found all the Grand Moffs guilty , but decreed that Hissa , as the Central Committee ' s leader , should be punished more harshly than the others . Kadann sentenced each of the traitors , Thistleborn to three years ' hard labor on scorching Bnach ; Dunhausen to four years in prison on icy Hoth ; Muzzer to five years serving as the sentry of the planet Arzid , home to deadly macaab mushroom s , tentacle - bush es , and arachnor s ; and Hissa to a slow and painful death . The Lost City . As the trial drew to a close , Prophet Gornash entered the chamber to inform Kadann of a breakthrough in the search for the location of the Lost City of the Jedi . Triclops , Palpatine ' s son , had become an ally of the New Republic , and was unwittingly sending information back to Kadann due to a hidden recording and transmitting system implanted in his skull . The latest transmission had given exact details and co - ordinates as to the Lost City ' s entrance and was presented to Kadann by his subordinate . The faux Supreme Prophet was suspicious about the information , though , believing it had reached him too easily . His suspicions were correct ; Triclops was working in collusion with the New Republic to provide Kadann with misinformation , but the Bimm Intelligencer had no way to confirm this . Nevertheless , he decided to travel to Yavin 4 and act on the information , albeit with extreme caution . Before doing so , however , Kadann and Jedgar accompanied the " Scardia Voyager " on a journey to deliver Grand Moff Muzzer to Arzid . They waited in orbit over the planet while a shuttle ferried Muzzer to his sentry post ; when the shuttle returned , however , it was laden with two extra passengers : Luke Skywalker and Ken , who had been captured by a group of stormtroopers on Arzid . The two , as well as a number of their New Republic allies , had encountered Kadann ' s forces by chance , though their comrades had escaped . Skywalker and Ken were taken to a cold chamber aboard Kadann ' s flagship , where they were interrogated by the faux Supreme Prophet . Kadann eventually persuaded Ken to drink a beverage containing avabush spice , a powerful truth serum . However , as Ken only consumed a small quantity of the avabush spice , it did not have the full effect , merely slowing his reactions and making him groggy . Hoping to lure Ken to ally with him , Kadann promised to provide him with the identity of his parents once they reached Yavin 4 . Eventually , some time after the interrogation had finished , the " Scardia Voyager " arrived at Yavin 4 . Kadann , wary of how easily Triclops ' information had reached him , instructed Jedgar to send a team of stormtroopers ahead to discern if they were walking into a trap . He ordered that Hissa be sent down the tubular transport into the subterranean Lost City first . Kadann watched via hologram as Hissa was sent down the tubular transport and into a sea of molten lava ; Triclops ' information had been a ruse . Enraged , Kadann threatened to send Skywalker down to the same fate as Hissa if Ken did not lead him to the Lost City ' s actual entrance . Kadann reiterated his offer to inform Ken of his parentage once they reached the Lost City ; the Jedi Prince relented , succumbing to Kadann ' s demand . Skywalker was taken away and imprisoned aboard the brig of the " Scardia Voyager " by Jedgar ; Ken provided the Prophets with the co - ordinates to the Lost City ' s entrance . The false Prophets set their ship down on Yavin 4 ' s surface , and Kadann , Jedgar , Gornash , Ken , a tech specialist , and a team of stormtroopers traveled to the Lost City ' s entrance . When they reached it , they descended in the tubular transport and reached the Lost City of the Jedi . Demise . Kadann ordered Ken to lead him to the location of the Lost City ' s central computer database . " En route " , they passed Ken ' s former home , and his pet mooka , Zeebo , bounded into his arms . The mooka attacked Kadann , scratching and biting at his face , but the Bimm Intelligencer threw Zeebo away and kicked the animal , before a stormtrooper stunned it . They eventually reached the Jedi Library , and though its caretaker droid , DJ - 88 , attempted to stop them , Kadann had his men access the computer . He spent some time studying its records on the New Republic . Once satisfied , he turned his attention to Ken , using the computer ' s database to show the Jedi Prince his parents : Triclops , Palpatine ' s true son , and Kendalina , a Jedi who had escaped Order 66 in 19 BBY . Kadann had DJ - 88 deactivated , before ordering his subordinates to remove the computer and relocate it to the " Scardia Voyager " ; to attempt to remove the datafiles themselves would result in the computer formatting itself . They followed his orders and the troupe began to make their way back to the tubular transport that would lead them to the surface , deactivating everything in their path as they went . However , their path was soon impeded by Luke Skywalker , who was brandishing his lightsaber . Kadann was perplexed , as the transport — the only way to enter or exit the city , he believed — had not been used while he and his subordinates were there . Skywalker attacked Kadann , ordering him to free Ken ; as the computer was the main priority , the impostor Supreme Prophet agreed to his demands . However , as Skywalker fled with Ken , a stormtrooper , firing after them , inadvertently destroyed the computer . Additionally , the New Republic deactivated all power in the city , trapping Kadann and his allies there . They remained in the Lost City of the Jedi for some time . Eventually , with the help of Triclops , who had remained on Yavin 4 when the New Republic moved on to pastures new and whom Kadann made his slave , Kadann alone escaped . Though the " Scardia Voyager " had been slagged , they eventually made a way offworld and set a course for Scardia Station . " En route " , they learned that Ysanne Isard had reinstated galactic freedom of religion , nullifying any power the false Prophets wielded over the galaxy ' s citizens . Expecting to return to Scardia to meet with his fellow con Prophets , Kadann , accompanied by Triclops , arrived to find the space station littered with the bodies of his former comrades . A message came over the comm system damning Kadann ; it was from Grand Admiral Afsheen Makati , an old foe of the true Kadann ' s . With the help of another of the real Supreme Prophet ' s enemies , his embittered former pupil Azrakel , Makati had tracked down what he believed to be the Prophets of the Dark Side and slain them . Before the faux Kadann could explain himself , he was gunned down by numerous turbolaser blasts . Makati met his demise soon after , but Azrakel eventually discovered that the true Kadann still lived . With the help of Dark Jedi Lumiya , he tracked Kadann to Bosthirda and killed him , before being slain by the other Prophets . Personality and traits . The false Kadann was a being trained in the art of deception . Working as an Imperial Intelligence operative during the Galactic Civil War , it was a testament to his acting ability that he was selected by the upper echelons of Imperial Intelligence to masquerade as a high - profile individual such as Kadann . He played the role very successfully , preaching his mock religion to the spiritually - starved citizens of Imperial Center with his cohorts and building up a great following . Few suspected his true identity , and even the Jedi Library in Yavin 4 ' s Lost City — believed to be one of the most extensive information databases in the galaxy — was unaware that the Bimm was not in fact Kadann . Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard , as well as the true Kadann ' s mortal enemies , Makati and Azrakel , also believed him to be genuine . Kadann , however , was hungry for power . After getting a taste of it on Coruscant , he and his peers wanted more ; they cut all ties to the legitimate Empire and formed their own faction , and Kadann ultimately proclaimed himself Emperor . He loved authority ; those who failed him had no opportunity to do so again , and he forced his enemies — such as Hissa and the Grand Moffs — to go down on their knees and pledge allegiance to him . The faux Prophet was vain and overconfident , always assured of himself and his information . His network of spies kept him informed of activities around the galaxy , particularly those of his enemies or potential enemies , and he refused to entertain the notion that they could be wrong . He claimed that the only sight in the galaxy one would never see was Kadann making a mistake . One thing that the false Supreme Prophet was unaware of when beginning his ruse was that Kadann had myriad enemies who wished to enact their vengeance on him ; this ultimately led to his downfall . The false Kadann also had a taste for grandeur , which was very much out of character for the real Kadann , who was disinclined to put himself in the spotlight . The false Kadann gave the rooms in Space Station Scardia lofty names such as " the Chamber of Dark Visions " ; he titled himself " Dreamer of Dark Dreams , Supreme Prophet of the Empire " ; and he frequently made non - rhyming four - line prophecies which he heavily publicized . Behind the scenes . The character of Kadann was created by Paul and Hollace Davids for their " Jedi Prince " series of children ' s books . Kadann served as one of the main villains in the series , appearing in three of the six books and being mentioned in the other three . However , in 1994 an published in " Polyhedron 103 " attempted to retcon this , claiming that the " Jedi Prince " books were merely a bedtime story told by Leia Organa Solo to her children and that the true Kadann was far more powerful than his counterpart in Leia ' s story . Written by Bill Slavicsek , a West End Games editor , and Michele Carter , the article ' s canon icity is dubious , as it may not have gone through proper licensing with Lucasfilm at the time of its publication ; however , it has since been referenced in canon numerous times by " The Dark Side Sourcebook " , " " and " " , and " Star Wars " author Abel G . Peña has stated that part of the article should be assumed to be canon until something else contradicts it . A number of years later , the " Dark Side Sourcebook " — written by Slavicsek and J . D . Wiker , with Michele Carter its editor — added another element to the character ' s identity . While it references some of Kadann ' s history from " Polyhedron 103 " , it claims that the Kadann seen in the Davids ' books was in fact an impostor , active during a time when the real Kadann was in hiding . Though this contradicted the " Polyhedron " article , the retcon means the parts of the Polyhedron article dealing with Kadann in the immediately post – " " period are actually describing the impostor Kadann . Since the creation of the false Prophet , he has been referenced in a number of sources , including Abel Peña ' s " Who ' s Who : Imperial Grand Admirals " and " Evil Never Dies : The Sith Dynasties " ; the former establishes the impostor Kadann ' s fate while the latter establishes him as a member of the Bimm species . He also received entries in the appendix of " The New Essential Guide to Characters " and " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , and the impostor retcon retroactively gave him an entry in the first " Star Wars Encyclopedia " . Daniel Wallace ' s " New Essential Guide to Characters " features an entry for " Kadann " — though it describes the actions of the false Kadann , it refers to him as the true Prophet . The " Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " fails to distinguish between the two Kadanns , confusing them for one character . The character ' s real name was only revealed in the 2013 article " " , written by Greg Mitchell and Abel G . Peña for the official StarWars . com blog . He was also revealed to be one of the numerous Ubooki brothers , who were first introduced in the 1994 article " Glah Ubooki ' s Strange & Wondrous Imports " , written by Shane Lacy Hensley for " Star Wars Adventure Journal 1 " .
