Enroute he killed Lord Hossferin , a late guest to the reception who was demanding to see the queen .

The enraged Wookiee then threw Bombinax from a cliff outside the quarantine , killing him . Biography . A reception to remeber . Bombinax was a humanoid male who served as a lieutenant for the queen of the planet Ktath ' atn during the reign of the Galactic Empire . The queen ruled over her subjects , including Bombinax , from the Citadel of Ktath ' atn using a hive of Abersyn symbiote s which were implanted within her subjects . In the year 0 ABY , Bombinax attended the queen ' s annual reception , in which off - worlders brought her interesting forms of organic life to show her in exchange for favors . As the guests brought their offerings before the queen , Bombinax stood guard at the base of her throne , and witnessed the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker brought forward by the archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra . At first the queen saw nothing special about the boy and had her speaker Varroa reject him ; however , after Skywalker used the Force to push away an Ezaraa that was confronting Aphra , the queen took greater interest . After dismissing the rest of the hopefuls attending the reception , the queen informed Aphra and Skywalker that she would hear their request in the morning and requested they retired to bed . Bringing in the harvest and taking out the trash . Bombinax then accompanied the queen , Varroa and another of the queen ' s loyal subjects named Vespinax out onto one of the citadel ' s balconies . There the queen ordered that the other three collect the harvest from the other subjects of the hive , which the trio did by inhaling red particulates released from the mouth s of the other hive members . The queen then harvested the collected energy from Bombinax and his colleagues , feeding on all three of them at once in preparation for combat with the Jedi . The following morning , Lord Hossferin of the Vandelae system Hossferins arrived at the gates of the citadel demanding to see the queen , and was outraged to discover the reception was over . Refusing to be turned away by the queen ' s soldiers , Hossferin was relieved to see the higher ranking Bombinax approaching believing he might be making progress toward gaining an audience . Without a word , the lieutenant slapped Hossferin with the back of his hand as he passed , knocking the lord over a cliff edge to his doom . Bombinax then killed Hossferin ' s two guards , punching through one of the pair ' s chest and out his back . Dealing with the Wookiee . Leaving the guards corpses where they had fallen , Bombinax questioned his men at the gate as to where Doctor Aphra ' s companion , the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan , was and learned that he was being kept in quarantine , as Wookiees were one of the species the queen found " disagreeable " . Bombinax then proceeded to the quarantine and attacked the Wookiee , but before he could kill the bounty hunter , several of Aphra ' s temporary allies from the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the droid s 0 - 0 - 0 and BT - 1 arrived to save Krrsantan . Prince ss Leia Organa distracted Bombinax by firing at him with a blaster pistol while 0 - 0 - 0 and Sana Starros dragged Krrsantan to saftey . The lieutenant charged at his attacker , but was blown back by a shot from BT - 1 ' s blaster cannon . This brought the Rebels time to seal one of the quarantine doorways between them and Bombinax which bought them time to infect their Wookiee ally with a Abersyn symbiote . Bombinax then smashed his way through the door , but was horrified to find the infected Wookiee inside . Black Krrsantan smashed Bombinax ' s helmet and chest armor with his bare hands and then lifted the lieutenant over his head , hurling him to his death over a cliff edge outside the quarantine . The Rebels and Aphra ' s crew then went on to rescue Skywalker from the queen ' s clutches as she tried to feed on him , before killing the queen and freeing all her subjects from the control of the hive . Personality and traits . Bombinax was a man of few words and immense strength , capable of smashing down a sealed metal door meant to hold in Wookiees and punching clean through the chest of an alien wearing a suit of armor with his own armored fist . As a member of the queen of Ktath ' atn ' s hive he was infected with a Abersyn symbiote which allowed him to harvest from the lower members of the hive . Equipment . Bombinax wore a suit of black armor that encased his entire body and a red cape and kama . He used a shock - emitting staff like weapon when fighting Black Krrsantan . Behind the scenes . Bombinax was created to be a minor villain in the " " cross - series comic book event , first appearing in " The Screaming Citadel , Part I " , which was written by Kieron Gillen , illustrated by Marco Checchetto and released on May 10 , 2017 . He then went on to appear in the " Star Wars " and " " comic book series as the event continued by alternating between the two . Checchetto created concept art of Bombinax , including a depiction of his face , which is never shown in the comics . The art shows the lieutenant as having burns covering the entire left side of his face from the cheek up , as well as a bald head , pupiless white eye s and a black beard . The artist explained in an interview that aside from the dark colors of their armor , he wanted to make them menacing by giving them no irises and cadaveric skin , although this is never visible for Bombinax outside of the concept art .
