"He was meant to root out the Rebels. His sacrifice will only inspire them."―Darth SidiousGalen Marek, codenamed Starkiller, was a Force-sensitive Human male taken on by the Sith Lord Darth Vader as his secret apprentice and personal assassin during the reign of the Galactic Empire. The son of two Jedi Knights, Kento and Mallie Marek, Galen was born on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk in the aftermath of the Clone Wars. Following his mother's death, Kashyyyk was invaded by the Imperial Military. As a target of the Great Jedi Purge, Kento was confronted and slain in a lightsaber duel by the Dark Lord of the Sith, who discovered the fugitive Jedi's son in the process. Gauging the orphan's raw strength in the Force, Vader abducted and ultimately raised Galen to embrace the dark side of the Force. However, he eventually found the good with Master Rahm Kota and turned to Vader as well as the Emperor. This led Galen to assist in the formation of the Rebel Alliance and sacrifice himself for the good of the Rebel Alliance.
His DNA was later used by both the Galactic Empire and The Organization to create two notable clones of himself. They were known as Subject 1138 and Subject 1243 - the former being used by the Empire and the latter by The Organization. Both held the codename of Starkiller, the latter being 'Lord Starkiller'.
