Darmas Pollaran Darmas Pollaran was the alias used by a Human male Imperial Agent who went undercover in the Coruscant Underworld as a womanizing , gambling pazaak player and Information broker during the Cold War . In his new identity , Pollaran , under the orders from the Voidwolf , coaxed Senator Bevera Dodonna to aid them in their bid to create a Pro - Sith Empire pirate fleet , in exchange for her own planet to rule . He was also suspected to help in the establishment of the Migrant Merchants ' Guild . Biography . Known as a inveterate gambler and information broker , Darmas Pollaran operated on out of Coruscant ' s old Galactic Market cantina . He charged a high premium for his data and contacts , supplementing that sizable income with his impressive winning streak gambling at the card game known as sabacc . In 3643 BBY he was visited by the smuggler later known as Voidhound and Corso Riggs who traveled to Coruscant in search of Skavak and the former ' s stolen starship . Pollaran assisted the two in tracking down the ship and retaking it from Skavak . In 3642 BBY , Pollaran contacted the Voidhound after the smuggler had become famous for finding Nok Drayen ' s lost treasure and invited them to Port Nowhere . When the Voidhound arrived , Pollaran was being held captive along with Senator Bevera Dodonna by Rogun the Butcher ' s lackeys . The Voidhound managed to fight through Rogun ' s underlings and free the captive pair , after which Pollaran explained that he had gone legitimate , working for Dodonna . He also claimed that Rogun was working for the Voidwolf , the Imperial Grand Admiral who sought to dominate the galactic underworld . In return for rescuing them , Dodonna appointed the Voidhound a Republic privateer to take on the jobs the respectable military couldn ' t . Pollaran acted as the Voidhound ' s liaison on Balmorra . He told the smuggler that they were to steal Project Nebula , a former Republic operation of weapons development , abandoned when the Empire took the planet , the latter then taking over the project and intending to use the prototype weaponry against the Republic itself . After the Voidhound completed a mission on Hoth for Dodonna , Pollaran summoned his associate back to Port Nowhere to discuss a mutually beneficial business opportunity . He introduced the Voidhound to Vaz Traniff , an enemy of Rogun . The plan was to rescue Traniff ' s vault cracker , Combo , from Rogun , so they could raid an Imperial treasury ship , the " King ' s Ransom " . It would be profitable , a service to the Republic and the Voidhound could do some damage to Rogun ' s organization . After the success of the heist , narrowly escaping the destruction of the treasury ship by the Voidwolf , and saving Dodonna from Rogun ' s assassins , the Voidhound went to Port Nowhere to meet with Pollaran . Senator Dodonna decided to further enlist the Voidhound ' s services in taking down Rogun when Darmas got the Senator on holocall , forcing her to pull out of a Senate vote . Pollaran then informed her that the cybernetic beasts that Rogun ' s assassins used in their attack on her were native to the planet Voss . As the export of Voss fauna had not been legalized , it was obvious that they were smuggled . Dodonna claimed that Voss was only a recent discovery and it would take her time to grant the Voidhound a landing permit . Pollaran added that the only one who knew all of Rogun secrets was his mentor , Ivory , and he disappeared years ago . But Dodonna revealed that Ivory was being kept in a secret Republic prison on Belsavis . The Voidhound proceeded to track down Ivory during a mass - prison breakout orchestrated by the Empire , managing to learn the locations of all of Rogun ' s safehouses across the galaxy , which Pollaran proceeded to research . After the Voidhound shut down Rogun ' s smuggling ring on Voss , Pollaran informed the smuggler that Rogun was rallying his remaining lieutenants to his safehouse on Tatooine . However , Pollaran soon revealed himself as an agent of the Voidwolf , who had managed to convince Dodonna to turn traitor and support the Empire in exchange for a planet of her own . The Voidwolf showed the Voidhound and Rogun a hologram of the exchange between the two before the smuggler actually knocked off the Butcher . With Rogun ' s help , the Voidhound survived the betrayal and tracked down Pollaran on Corellia . Pollaran had infiltrated the Corellian Resistance and had duped rebel leader Nevis Kitt into attempting to clear out supply tunnel 26 , making him think that it would give the resistance an opening , when in fact it ' d be for the Empire . When confronted by the Voidhound while hosting a resistance rally , Pollaran quickly attempted to turn the crowd against the former , claiming that the smuggler was an agent of the Voidwolf . However , the Voidhound managed to convince the resistance of Pollaran ' s true allegiance . With his cover blown , Pollaran called for reinforcements , which showed up in the form of assassin droids , which gave cover for his escape . Pollaran made his way to Councilor Caicos ' factory , now a makeshift Imperial medical center , in Labor Valley , to get plastic surgery to change his identity and disappear . However , the Voidhound tracked him down and arrested him . Behind the scenes . Darmas Pollaran is a character in the 2011 " " video game , voiced by James M . Connor . Alternatively , the Smuggler can allow Darmas to go free in exchange for information about senator Dodonna and a key to unlock a locker on Port Nowhere .
