Hurati Hurati was an Umbaran male who served as a captain in the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars , under the command of the former Mandalorian mercenary Ghez Hokan . Hurati was more disciplined than his other subordinates and bore a military manner that Hokan appreciated . As a result , the Mandalorian eventually promoted Hurati to the rank of captain to replace the less - efficient Lieutenant Pir Cuvin . Along with Hokan , Cuvin , and a hundred battle droids , Hurati attempted to eliminate a small team of Republic agents on the planet of Qiilura , which included the four clone commandos of Omega Squad and the Jedi Padawan Etain Tur - Mukan . After the commandos attacked the Separatist nanovirus facility on the planet , Hurati nearly killed clone commando RC - 3222 by shooting the clone from behind with a Verpine shatter gun . However , he died shortly afterwards when RC - 1136 , another Omega Squad commando , turned around and shot him in the head . Biography . Separatist officer . Hurati , a male member of the Umbaran species , held the rank of second lieutenant and served under the command of former Mandalorian mercenary Ghez Hokan , based on the Mid Rim world of Qiilura by 22 BBY , in the first months of the Clone Wars . Their militia was employed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems , along with a hundred battle droids , helping to protect Lik Ankkit , the Neimoidian who governed the planet , and a team of Separatist scientists . When a unit of clone commandos , Omega Squad , arrived on Qiilura to eliminate the Separatist nanovirus research facility that was located there , Hurati and his superior , Lieutenant Pir Cuvin , were given the task of finding and eliminating them . The clone commandos successfully fought off a unit of battle droids and their Aqualish captain , the remains of which were eventually located by Hokan and his men . The two Umbaran lieutenants searched the site of the skirmish , and Hurati located the remains of several droids left by the commandos . The clones had put together a pile of droid parts as a sign to RC - 1136 , a commando who had become separated from the rest of Omega Squad , that the squad had been there , in case he happened to find it . Hokan saw the droid parts as an attempt by the commandos to taunt his forces . Hurati was ordered by Hokan to declare a curfew on all repulsorlift vehicles after that incident . The Umbaran was concerned about the local farmers that needed to transport their crops to the town of Teklet for shipping , but the Mandalorian mercenary gave the order anyway , believing that the farmers could use handcarts . Hokan ' s forces later began burning fields near the nanovirus facility to give the clones the impression that they wanted to defend it , although the research team had actually been relocated . Hurati explained the plan to Cuvin when the lieutenant did not understand their actions . Together with Hokan , the Umbaran also analyzed the locations of the encounters with the commandos that had occurred and the two determined that the group was moving towards Teklet . Hokan , who viewed Cuvin to be incompetent , took Hurati some distance away from Cuvin shortly after that and told him to keep an eye on the lieutenant . Hurati agreed to carry out the task . Final actions and death . Cuvin disappeared at some point , which Hokan presumed to be a desertion , and promoted Hurati to the rank of captain as his replacement . By then , the rest of Omega Squad had met up with RC - 1136 and a Jedi Padawan by the name of Etain Tur - Mukan . When some of the clones infiltrated the facility that the research team was in , Hokan and the captain were split off from the head scientist Ovolot Qail Uthan as a result of the emergency doors suddenly shutting . The commandos were able to get Uthan out through underground tunnels that they used to enter the facility before Hurati managed to get the doors open by slicing the controls . But the pair did locate the team of four scientists that the clones did not capture and decided to move them out of the facility before more commandos could arrive . However , the clones had planted explosives throughout the building , which they set off as the Separatists fled . The captain and Hokan managed to escape in time , but the scientists were too scared to run when they heard the clones firing in their general direction and were killed in the explosion . The pair were able to catch up with Omega Squad and the Jedi shortly after their attack on the facility , at which point Hurati shot one of the commandos , RC - 3222 , with a Verpine shatter gun , although the clone ultimately survived . Several seconds later , RC - 1136 turned around and shot Hurati through the head , killing the Umbaran . Hokan was also killed , not long after his Umbaran comrade . With the facility destroyed and the Separatist presence eliminated , the commandos ' mission was accomplished and they left the planet . Personality and traits . Hokan considered Hurati to be a competent and reliable officer . When they were investigating the destroyed droids , Hurati sprinted over to the former Mandalorian to give his report , which Hokan appreciated and took as a sign that the Umbaran was enthusiastic to get Cuvin ' s rank . Hurati always stood with a military posture , even when not being under scrutiny , something which caught Hokan ' s attention . The former Mandalorian initially considered him , along with Cuvin , to be " academy theoreticians " , but over time he came to consider Hurati to be a competent and loyal officer . When Hokan ordered him to declare a curfew on all repulsorlift vehicles , Hurati showed concern about the local farmers being unable to transport their crops . He was also willing to keep an eye on Cuvin for Hokan and later informed his former Mandalorian superior that he did not think the lieutenant would " make captain . " Behind the scenes . Hurati made his first and only appearance in Karen Traviss ' 2004 novel " " , and later received a mention in an entry for Ghez Hokan in the " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
