Gerta Haman Gerta Haman worked as an inventory supervisor at the Jax Warehouse in Hedrett , but was better known as an outspoken political activist . She spoke passionately about the importance of the Tarasin retaining their own culture . Wealthy gambler Kris Wahl , who shared her passion to the dismay of his parents , provided money for her causes . Biography . Gerta was concerned about the actions of the Metatheran Cartel under Velin Wir , and organized the Cularin resistance to gather proof of their illegal activities . She saw the Cartel cutting down ch ' hala tree s with her own eyes and even got hold of a holorecording of their crime - but she knew that , should she try to make it public , the Cartel would say it was a doctored image . She considered the Cartel to be as bad as the Trade Federation , although she had never seen the Federation in action . Gerta decided to disappear with a few other people from Gadrin and Hedrett , and form a Cularin resistance to oppose the Cartel . She emptied her house and traveled to their new base , the Cloud Mountain mines . Many people , including Wahl , " disappeared " like her in the following days , enough to cause a disturbance in the Force that was detected by Jedi Master Lanius Qel - Bertuk . Gerta became the informal leader of the resistance , with Nim ' Ri and Broof Yurdel as her chief advisers . She wanted to avoid bloodshed , and was adamant that the resistance would not be the first to initiate deadly force . Independent gents sent by Master Qel - Bertuk eventually found the resistance base . Haman , Nim ' Ri and Yurdel met with them and tried to convince them not to reveal anything about the resistance . One month later , Haman decided to look for some secret files of the Cartel , specifically reports on how they get their charter for Cularin and their account records of that time , which would specify which Cularin officers were bribed . She obtained speeders for the escape and an advanced , highly - modified datapad ( probably a work by famed slicer Baylan ) to extract information from the Cartel ' s computers , but she also needed someone from outside the resistance to approach the local Metatheran Cartel operations office in Gadrin . She then asked one of the members of the resistance , Corporal Ortin from OPS , to organize a secret meeting with those independent agents at the OPS third sector precinct house . Haman returned to the secret base of Cloud Mountain mines using a secret way . The operation was a success and the agents went to the mines to give Haman the information . However , some verification file codes were missing , but she discovered they were only available in the well - protected Metatheran Cartel jungle base . She asked Broof Yurdel and his troops to prepare a raid , and offered the independent agents to cooperate with Yurdel . Noticing that Yurdel was too happy with the assignment , she specifically ordered him to set the weapons in stun . She also asked Kris Wahl to question the independent agents to obtain any information they might have about the jungle base , as they had been previously there . However , the Cartel was tracking the stolen data , and a Cartel - aligned Caarite force attacked the resistance ' s secret headquarters . Haman was trapped in the crossfire , but she nevertheless tried to reach her companions . She was then shot in her back and severely wounded . Only the quick actions of some allies of the resistance saved her life . Due to Haman ' s critical state , Yurdel was even less prone to use non - lethal force ; nevertheless he ordered his troops to set weapons in stun , as it was what Haman would have wanted . Haman did not take part in the following raid against the jungle base , which was a success and led to the Cartel retiring from Cualrin . Soon afterward , governor Barnab Chistor of Gadrin decorated Haman and the other resistance leaders for their success . Later , Haman traveled to Coruscant to meet with Senator Lavinia Wren . She was being escorted by Jedi General Ish - Bel Tur . Nevertheless , the ship was destroyed and both she and Tur were killed . Behind the scenes . Gerta Haman could die during the events of the RPG adventure " A Revelation " in the mines showdown — if the player characters behave unheroically , the adventure includes a text about her death as one of the possibilities . However , the adventure " A Mon Alone " , which takes place later , provides a different account of her death that apparently overwrites the " improbable but possible death " in " A Revelation " . This possible death is probably supposed to be referenced in the " Critical Event Summary " , so that the majority of official playing parties ' performance would become the canon story about that event . However , an apparent typo changed Haman ' s name for Renna ' s .
