From boredom to danger . A Human male and military serviceman , Erk H ' Arman was present on Praesitlyn in 22 BBY , some four weeks after the Battle of Geonosis , where he served as a pilot for the indigenous defense forces under General Khamar alongside fellow pilot Pleth Strom . Bored of service on the planet , H ' Arman was understandably excited when an enemy landing force comprised of myriad transports and escorted by hundreds of droid tri - fighters appeared in the skies over one of Praesitlyn ' s larger continents . He and Strom attacked the force ; however , their control ship was shot down and the two pilots were unable to make any headway against the tri - fighters , who quickly overwhelmed Strom and H ' Arman . With Strom dead and his own craft disabled , H ' Arman was able to effect a crash landing . Meeting Odie . H ' Arman ' s useless craft was detected by Odie Subu , a reconnaissance trooper attached to the overland segment of the Praesitlyn Defense Force under Khamar and Major Makx Maganinny . Having survived recent combat with several CIS mercenaries , Subu was shaken when H ' Arman leveled his blaster at her , but the two quickly formed a bond and set off on Subu ' s speeder bike to find shelter amid the mounting chaos on Praesitlyn . Finding a cave with water , the two spent two days in the area recovering from the intense conditions of the desert . With no food , H ' Arman and Subu were forced to travel on foot after a fault rendered Subu ' s speeder inoperable . Stranded in the desert with seemingly no salvation at hand , H ' Arman experienced vivid hallucinations and witnessed an avian creature , a sight concocted by his heat - addled mind , attacking Odie . Drawing his blaster , H ' Arman fired off a single shot . Service with the Sons and Daughters . That shot proved to be the only factor in their survival . Omin L ' Loxx , a soldier serving with the Sons and Daughters of Freedom , a pro - Republic splinter force under the leadership of the renegade Zozridor Slayke , saw the shot and found the two soldiers . Informed of the Defense Force ' s fall and the Sons ' mission to obliterate the CIS forces by L ' Loxx , H ' Arman readily joined the patriotic freelancers and piloted a speeder bike to the nearest Sons and Daughters - aligned outpost , called Izable , encountering a Gamorrean soldier on the way . His worth proven , H ' Arman and Subu were assigned to protect the facility by the Bothan soldier D ' Nore at a gunwell . Demonstrating his knowledge of the E - Web heavy repeating blaster , H ' Arman helped Subu man the gunwell and assisted in the defense of the outpost against a legion of battle droids . However , when a convoy of droid tanks rolled towards the outpost , H ' Arman was unable to heed the warnings of the frantic Subu , and was caught in the collapse of the bunker as a defensive counter - mine effort launched by the Sons thwarted the tanks ' advance . Trapped in the wreckage of the facility , H ' Arman and Subu exchanged personal information and fell in love . Engineering an escape with a vibroknuckler , the two emerged from the base as a Republic counterattack against the CIS forces was underway . Subu fired impulsively on an approaching figure , believing it to be an enemy . That figure proved to be Grudo , a Rodian mercenary employed by the Republic to assist in the fighting . With that disturbing event past , H ' Arman and Subu were taken to the Republic encampment . It was there that H ' Arman , shocked to his stomach by the hardships encountered by the clone troopers onplanet , realized the true extent of the battle for Praesitlyn , and so he and Subu endeavored to assist the Republic by any means necessary . They later witnessed the terrifying results of an enemy attempt to subvert communications among the Republic forces . Into the heart of battle . H ' Arman was later assigned to pilot a transport vessel into the embattled Intergalactic Communications Center , which had fallen into the hands of the CIS . Parting with Subu reluctantly , he and the recon trooper would reunite alive and well following the battle ' s conclusion . H ' Arman and Subu would be married by Anakin Skywalker , a Jedi leading the assault alongside formerly disgraced Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon . Personality and traits . A hardened soldier desiring an action - packed career , Erk H ' Arman would get more than he bargained for when thrust into the heat of battle against an overwhelming enemy force . Though somewhat brash , H ' Arman also possessed a softer side , and would willingly cooperate with any soldier whom he deemed to be fighting for the same cause . Although a catastrophic mistake during battle nearly killed himself and Odie Subu , Subu would see enough of H ' Arman ' s positive traits to consider him a love interest . Behind the scenes .
