Darth Luft was a Twi ' lek One Sith who lived during the time of Darth Krayt ' s Galactic Empire . Following the death of Darth Krayt in 138 ABY , Luft became the leader of a pirate syndicate which operated a slave ring over the dead world of Dac . Darth Luft and his pirate associates succeeded in luring a large number of Mon Calamari and Quarrens back to Dac . These were then forcibly coerced into helping the pirates build a fleet of ships in the abandoned Mon Calamari Shipyards . As he began operation of a slave ring over Dac , he sent emissaries to the Core , and found that there was no interest in a dead planet . He did not think too highly of Darth Wredd , considering him arrogant and undisciplined , and would have killed him had he come to Dac . After encountering Ania Solo , Jao Assam , and their Mon Calamari and Quarren companions , Luft realized that they were on their own and sent them all to an escape pod that jettisoned into the poisonous waters below . After having being saved by Sauk and AG - 37 , Jao warned his master Yalta Val of the growing presence of pirates in the Dac system spearheaded by Darth Luft . In response , Admiral Gar Stazi and Yalta Val dispatched a fleet and complement of Imperial Knight s to deal with the Sith and his pirate associates . While engaged in combat with the Imperial Knight , Luft was carried away by the flood triggered by the arrival of Yalta Val and his cadets . The fight resumed and seemingly ended when Jao was thrown into water . Imperial Knights recruits arrived and dueled with him , and were effortlessly defeated . However , Jao succeeded in sneaking up behind the Sith and killing Luft by impaling him with his lightsaber . Following Darth Luft ' s death , the Galactic Federation Triumvirate apprehended Darth Luft ' s pirate associates and liberated the Mon Calamari and Quarren slaves . Darth Luft ' s death played into the hands of Darth Wredd because it furthered his goal of destroying the One Sith in order to re - institute the Rule of Two . Wredd personally contacted Jao to thank him for his " help " . Personality and traits . As a Sith , Darth Luft had little regard for the lives of other sentient beings . This was best exemplified when he ordered the killing of the Mon Calamari and Quarren dependents and elderly following the outbreak of a slave revolt . In addition , Luft had a cruel and sadistic streak as shown when he threw the Quarren Tikin down to his death . Tikin had supplied information on the whereabouts of the intruders aboard the Mon Calamari Shipyards in a desperate attempt to secure the release of his son . As a member of the insurgency One Sith , Luft supported the post - Second Imperial Civil War policy of going underground and rebuilding the Sith ' s capabilities and resources . He regarded the rogue Sith Darth Wredd as arrogant and undisciplined . He also had a thorough hatred for light side users like the Imperial Knight Jao Assam . Powers and abilities . Darth Luft was an exceptionally tall red - skinned Twi ' lek man who towered over most other sentient beings . Like other members of the One Sith , his face and body was tattooed in red and black Sith markings . Darth Luft was skilled in lightsaber combat and was capable of using the Force to levitate other sentient beings and objects , as shown when he threw Tikin to his death and tried to submerge Jao Assam under a piece of wreckage . Behind the scenes . Despite appearing in the third issue of the " " comic , Luft was not named in that actual story , instead being officially named in the letter ' s section by the editor Randy Stradley . However , his name is mentioned by Jao Assam later in the same issue .
