**Karbin** was a Mon Calamari who was a Commander serving in the Clone Wars. Towards the end of the war, Karbin's ship was damaged, which caused Karbin to be critically injured with his receiving considerable and high untreatable injuries. He spent the next eighteen years of his life following the ship incident on life support, and then the final two of those years his time was spent being enhanced with a cybernetic body inspired by that of late General Grievous. He was remade into a fierce and very formidable warrior who would be fitted into his life-sustaining suit similar to Grievous's design, allowing him to wield several Lightsabers at once. Doctor Cylo remade Commander Karbin with the purpose of being one of many potential replacements for the Sith-Lord, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine's Apprentice and his chief enforcer, a position that Karbin set his sights on.

### Cylo Test Subject

#### Remaking of Karbin

Commander **Karbin** participated in the conflict known as the Clone Wars until his ship was lost towards the end of the war, which resulted in him receiving considerable injuries that were considered to be untreatable. Commander Karbin then spent the following eighteen years on life support in a medical center, and during the last two of those years of during which Karbin was given a cybernetic body inspired by that of late General of the Separatist Alliance, Grievous, by Doctor Cylo. His body of cybernetic design has two cybernetic arms which can split to reveal another pair, giving him four arms. Karbin can wield up to four Lightsabers at a single time, just as his predecessor General Grievous had before him during the Clone Wars.

#### Karbin's Deployment

Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader discovered Cylo's research base and discovered Karbin and Cylo's other potential replacements for Vader. Vader was prevented from killing Cylo when the Emperor intervened. Cylo then had Karbin and the others battle Vader to demonstrate their abilities to the Emperor. Grand General Cassio Tagge assigned Karbin to track down the rebel pilot who destroyed the Death Star. While Vader was assigned another mission, he was personally pursuing the pilot for his own reason: the pilot was in fact his son Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker was on the planet Vrogas Vas. However, Commander Karbin planned an ambush to eliminate Vader.

Vader crashed on Vrogas Vas and fought rebel forces there. In the middle of the battle, the rebel leader Leia Organa sent a squadron of bombers to eliminate Vader, however they were shot down by Commander Karbin's forces as he landed on Vrogas Vas. While forces under Commander Karbin attacked the rebels, Karbin then dueled Vader, believing that with four Lightsabers against Vader's one, he would be victorious. Using the Force, Vader got the upper hand on Karbin and severed one of his arms. Eventually, Darth Vader lured Karbin onto a natural bridge made of rock and had his minion Doctor Aphra crash her ship, the *Ark Angel*, into him. Karbin barely survived the impact, and was killed shortly after by Vader. In his last moments, he realized that Vader had a personal reason for pursuing Luke, but never knew what it was.
