Galak Fyyar Galak Fyyar was a military scientist that served Lord Hethrir ' s Empire Reborn faction of the Imperial Remnant , several years after the defeat of Emperor Palpatine . Biography . After the height of the Galactic Civil War , Galak Fyyar left his previous position as a scientist in the Maw system to become an officer . As an ambitious officer , Fyyar rose to the rank of Admiral and had aspirations of galactic conquest , but his dependence on technology and his overconfidence were the keys to his eventual downfall . He also held the title of " Chancellor " , though its significance is unclear . After the fall of the Empire , Fyyar fell in with former Procurator of Justice Hethrir and his Empire Reborn faction . Fyyar became one of Hethrir ' s top lieutenants . He worked closely with Desann , another of Hethrir ' s lieutenants , to develop methods of infusing non - Force - sensitives with the Force . The pair carried out their experiments on Kejim until the outpost was destroyed by Kyle Katarn . Desann and Fyyar managed to turn this to their advantage , tracking Katarn to the Valley of the Jedi . There , the pair put their research to use . Artusian crystal s focused the Valley ' s power into minimally Force - sensitive recruits , creating the dark Jedi order of Reborn . Fyyar also created a cortosis - based armor , resistant to lightsabers . Fyyar himself had a special powered armor suit equipped with a rocket launcher , a shield generator , and a heavy repeater . Lighter cortosis armor , equipped with a focusing Artusian crystal , was issued to the shadowtrooper s , who served as the elite dark side troops of the Empire Reborn . With the success of their program , Desann and Fyyar initiated an assault on the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 . Fyyar ' s ship , " Doomgiver " , departed from his headquarters at the secret Cairn Installation and arrived over Yavin 4 , where it deployed landing forces . Unknown to Fyyar , Katarn had infiltrated his operations . The New Republic saboteur contacted Rogue Squadron , which attacked the " Doomgiver " upon its exit from hyperspace . Fyyar , in his battle suit , managed to surprise Katarn as he was in the process of destroying the ship ' s shield generator . Fyyar was too slow , however , and Katarn took out the generator with a lightsaber throw . Enraged , Fyyar attacked Katarn , but even his shielded cortosis armor proved no match for Katarn , who fought and struck the admiral down with his lightsaber . The suit malfunctioned and exploded , vaporizing Fyyar . Behind the scenes . Galak Fyyar was voiced by Steven Jay Blum . During combat , Galak ' s shield generator can be disabled by destroying his armor ' s antenna with weapon fire . There are three ways to defeat Galak in his Cortosis armor , after the shield is brought down . The first one is to use force speed and your lightsaber combined to deliver extra fast strikes while his shield is recovering . Since force speed slows down the action and speeds you up , it will take a seemingly long time for his shield to regenerate , and you can deliver strikes much faster . The second way is to pummel him with force lightning . His armor seems to be highly vulnerable to that attack . This is also effective against his shield . The third way is to use saber throw on him . This will only work when the shield is down because if the player tries to hit the shield with saber throw , the saber will just go inside the shield , and the player will lose control of it on entry . The rank plaque on Galak ' s uniform has a different layout than most others . Rather than consisting of two rows ( the top row being four red bars and the bottom row being four blue bars ) , the plaque contains a single row of eight bars , alternating between red and blue bars every two bars . This might be a custom rank plaque . According to " The Essential Guide to Warfare " , Galak Fyyar would have been a Rear Admiral .
