Kirtan Loor Kirtan Loor was an agent with Imperial Intelligence and former liaison officer to CorSec who played a large role in the events surrounding the capture of Coruscant by the New Republic . In time , Loor would prove to be one of Rogue Squadron ' s most persistent enemies . Loor resembled a much taller and younger Grand Moff Tarkin , and possessed an eidetic memory . Both of these traits made Loor very arrogant , making him feel superior to others . Biography . Early career . The earliest details of Kirtan Loor show that in 2 ABY he became an Imperial liaison officer to CorSec . The officers he was assigned to were none other than Gil Bastra , Iella Wessiri , and Corran Horn . Loor was not interested in the internal affairs of CorSec , and even less in its officers . Loor also took great delight in complicating otherwise simple cases , even to the point of letting the killer of Horn ' s father go free . After enduring years of abuse under Loor , Bastra , Wessiri , and Horn hatched a plot to escape Loor . After they managed to escape right under his nose , Loor left his post as liaison officer , vowing to track down the three former CorSec officers and have his revenge . He almost caught up with Corran Horn on the planet of Garqi – Corran Horn was posing as Eamon Yzalli , aide to Prefect Mosh Barris as one of the aliases created by Gil Bastra . Horn was involved in a plot to free a Duros prisoner by the name of Lai Nootka who had some valuable spare parts for Horn ' s X - wing . Horn was able to frame Mosh Barris for his " murder " and Loor was sent to investigate . Horn and Loor missed each other by a matter of hours . Three months after events on Garqi , Loor managed to track down and capture Gil Bastra , though Bastra had insisted that he had let Loor catch him on purpose , to keep pursuit off his friends . Loor then attempted to interrogate Bastra , but when he put Bastra in a bacta tank to cure him of a fatal disease , he failed to realize that Bastra had an allergy to bacta . Bastra died in the interrogation attempt , leaving Loor back where he started . It was at that time he was recalled to Coruscant by Ysanne Isard . Employment under Isard . After his recall to Coruscant , Loor met Ysanne Isard , Director of Imperial Intelligence . Isard then recruited Loor and ordered him to track down and destroy Rogue Squadron . The reasons for why Loor was chosen are unknown , though it is suspected that Isard knew of his vendetta against Corran Horn , who at the time was a member of Rogue Squadron . Working with Admiral Devlia , Loor managed to track down Rogue Squadron to their base on Talasea . Fortunately for Rogue Squadron , Devlia was skeptical and mistrusted Loor ' s abilities . He only sent a single squad of stormtroopers , who were easily dispatched by Rogue Squadron , but one of the squadron ' s pilots , Lujayne Forge , was killed in the attack . When the New Republic retaliated and attacked Devlia ' s headquarters on Vladet , Loor made his escape . He was then ordered to go to Borleias , which was a vital stepping stone for the New Republic to reach Coruscant . After his arrival , Loor met with General Evir Derricote . Loor warned Derricote about the inevitable New Republic attack , and also spied on Derricote . After Derricote managed to repel the first New Republic assault , Isard ordered Loor to bring Derricote back to Coruscant with him . Events on Coruscant . After the capture of Borleias by the New Republic , and the insertion of Rogue Squadron into Coruscant , Loor was again tasked with fighting off the legendary squadron , though this time , he was only supposed to delay them until Isard could unleash her lethal Krytos virus on the planet ' s nonhuman population and put pressure on the New Republic . To do this end , Loor enlisted the help of Zekka Thyne and Erisi Dlarit to spy on Rogue Squadron . Unfortunately for him , tough anti - espionage tactics employed by Wedge Antilles prevented him from stopping the New Republic ' s premature capture of Coruscant . As the New Republic closed in , Isard informed Loor that he was to lead the Palpatine Counter - Insurgency Front and perform guerrilla and terrorist attacks on the new government . While leading the PCF , Loor found himself working for Fliry Vorru , a former Corellian Moff . Vorru had Loor attack multiple targets , including a bacta storage facility and a school . Loor was not happy with any of this , and secretly plotted to overthrow Vorru and Isard . When he learned of a convoy that was going to deliver bacta to the New Republic , Loor took the chance . Using twelve X - wings he managed to obtain , Loor intended to steal the bacta for himself and blame the theft on Rogue Squadron . Unfortunately , Isard also knew of the convoy and tipped off Warlord Zsinj about it . Zsinj destroyed the entire convoy , including Loor ' s fake Rogue Squadron . With his plan in shambles , Loor was sure that Isard would discover his plans for betrayal . He sought sanctuary with the New Republic by offering to testify in Tycho Celchu ' s trial and divulging information about all Imperial activities on Coruscant . During his defection , he was codenamed " Behemoth . " Loor never got the chance to reap the rewards of his defection , however . Isard received word of a secret witness attending Celchu ' s trial . Thinking it was General Derricote , Isard sent Diric Wessiri , a sleeper agent and Wessiri ' s husband , to prevent him from testifying . As Loor was on his way to the courthouse , he was shot by Diric and died at the scene . Loor ' s legacy . As it turned out , even though Isard managed to keep him quiet , Loor got the last laugh . Before he died , Loor kept an encoded data card with him as a failsafe to prevent the New Republic from just killing him . When Horn discovered the card , he managed to decode the data . The datacard revealed every Imperial operation , terrorist cell , and safe house on Coruscant . With Loor ' s help , the New Republic went a long way into making Coruscant more secure for the future .
