Marja Lang Marja Lang was a Human female who served as the Imperial Vice - Governor of the planet Gandle Ott in the Kathol sector of the Outer Rim Territories . A staunchly loyal Imperial , she was more dedicated to the ideals of the Empire than Moff Kentor Sarne , the sector ' s ruler . When Sarne withdrew the sector from the Empire in the wake of the Battle of Endor and established himself as a warlord , Lang ' s devotion to the Empire ensured that she was frozen out of the personality cult that Sarne developed among his forces that engendered loyalty to him over the Empire . In 8 ABY , Sarne was disposed from his capital on Kal ' Shebbol by the New Republic . He retreated to Gandle Ott with his fleet , stripping the system of its defense force and governor before departing . With the planet in confusion after Sarne ' s departure , Lang found herself the highest ranking Imperial on the planet and moved to secure a power base with her fellow abandoned Imperials with the hopes that she would ascend to the post of governor . However , her position was challenged by General Herron Dade , the native commander of the planetary militia . Several days after the Moff ' s departure , the New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " entered orbit in pursuit of Sarne . A delegation from the corvette spent several days on the planet establishing diplomatic ties , and although Lang was not especially welcoming of their presence , she understood the need to treat them pleasantly . Biography . Marja Lang was a Human female Imperial bureaucrat who was stationed on the planet Gandle Ott in the Kathol sector as the Vice - Governor . A capable administrator , Lang was loyally devoted to the Imperial philosophy . However , when the ruler of the Kathol sector , Moff Kentor Sarne , quietly withdrew his holdings from the Empire in the wake of the Battle of Endor and established himself as a warlord , he began to cultivate a personality cult within his forces , engendering total loyalty to himself . Due to Lang ' s fervent loyalty to the Empire proper , she was excluded from the clique . In 8 ABY , New Republic forces deposed Sarne and liberated his capital , Kal ' Shebbol . Sarne fled with the majority of his forces , stopping at Gandle Ott to take on supplies . The Moff claimed to have assembled a large fleet to deal with pirates and Rebels throughout the sector , and he made no mention of his recent defeat . Upon his departure , Gandle Ott ' s citizens discovered that Sarne had left with the majority of Imperial personnel stationed on the planet — including the planetary governor — and the local defense force . With the Governor gone , Lang became the highest - ranking Imperial official on the planet and took on the title of Acting - Governor . With much of the Imperial command structure removed , Gandle Ott fell into confusion . The Bank parliament , the civilian government that had ruled the planet prior to the institution of Imperial authority , began to retake power . General Herron Dade , commander of the planetary militia and highest - ranking native - born official , started to position himself to make a run for the long - abolished presidency . When NewsNet courier droid s reached Gandle Ott bearing reports that the New Republic had ousted Sarne from Kal ' Shebbol , Lang began to consolidate her own power base among the remaining Imperial forces and sent subspace messages to the Empire requesting reinforcements . Lang hoped that she would officially be named as governor of Gandle Ott . The civilian authorities , fearful that the New Republic would turn its attention on Gandle Ott , made it known that they would be interested in negotiations with the galactic power . Several days after Sarne ' s departure , the New Republic CR90 corvette " FarStar " arrived in Gandle Ott ' s orbit in pursuit of the Moff . The vessel was permitted to land at Montrol Spaceport , and Lang — along with Stanfeld Duffit , Mayor of Montrol City ; several politicians ; and an honor guard — headed to the spaceport to formally greet the New Republic representatives . Upon arrival , Lang discovered that the spaceport ' s security force was intent on arresting the " FarStar " crew for piracy . A standard check of the ship ' s registration and Bureau of Ships and Services permits listed the " FarStar " as stolen Imperial property . Unknown to Lang , Montrol City ' s BRT supercomputer , CUTH - BRT - 92 - X3 , had been corrupted by Sarne with instructions to delay any New Republic pursuit . To that end , CUTH - BRT - 92 - X3 altered the records to flag the " FarStar " as stolen . Lang resolved the issue promptly , and formally welcomed the " FarStar " delegation , led by the ship ' s commanding officer , Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum , to Gandle Ott . She then invited the senior staff to accompany her to the Imperial Plaza Hotel , where they would stay for the duration of their visit at the government ' s expense . Before leaving the delegation at the hotel , Lang invited them to join her for an informal breakfast with her and the Imperial Cabinet . Among the " FarStar " delegation that Lang met was Jessa Dajus , a former Imperial Intelligence agent who had served in Sarne ' s forces . Dajus had fallen out of the Moff ' s favor and had been discovered by New Republic forces in his detention cells , where she claimed to be a shuttle pilot . When the " FarStar " mission was authorized , Dajus was allowed to join the crew as a tactical advisor . Lang had met Dajus before , when she was serving with Sarne , but did not reveal that fact in public . Lang planned to get Dajus alone and determine whether or not she was truly sympathetic to the New Republic or if she was playing her own game . On the second day of the " FarStar " visit , the delegation accepted Lang ' s offer and joined her and the Cabinet for breakfast . Several hours later , Lang joined General Dade at a Mushroom Cutting ceremony , where he symbolically declared that Gandle Ott had renounced its ties to the Empire and should look to controlling its own future . Dade was the center of attention for the gathered media , and Lang was barely able to conceal her boredom during the ceremony . On the third day , Lang hosted a private lunch for the " FarStar " delegation and her key supporters . After several days on the planet , during which diplomatic relations were established between Gandle Ott and the New Republic , the " FarStar " departed to continue its mission . Personality and traits . Marja Lang was a short , pudgy woman with blonde hair that she wore in a long braid down her back . Generally even - tempered , Lang could be charming or threatening when the need arose . Although she did not like dealing with the New Republic , she saw that treating them as equals was wise , and was polite and civil to the delegation . A lifelong bureaucrat , Lang was well - versed in the workings of the Imperial government , and she was knowledgeable about businesses and other cultures . She could operate communications and security equipment , and wore an Imperial uniform on duty . She carried a datapad and personal comlink . Behind the scenes . Marja Lang was introduced in " Death Is Remotely Possible " , a adventure published in " The DarkStryder Campaign " by West End Games in 1995 . During the course of the adventure , the players have to deal with CUTH - BRT - 92 - X3 ' s attempts to delay the " FarStar " from pursuing Sarne , which manifests itself in several ways , including near fatal traffic accidents and an assassin droid being unleashed on them . Lang , along with Dade , is one of the officials to whom the players can report these occurrences , along with the suspicion that CUTH - BRT - 92 - X3 is responsible . Lang takes the information seriously and will look into the matter and discover the protocol modifications made to the unit by Moff Sarne . CUTH - BRT - 92 - X3 is taken offline and technicians are employed to restore the droid to normal . As the players can talk to either Lang or Dade , this article makes no assumption as to which official receives the reports .
