Sulamar

"After my days of working with the great crime lord Xizor, I should have learned to double-check pretentious stories from my underlings."

- Durga

Sulamar was a Human male officer in the Imperial Army. Little is known about his early career, but he resurfaced as an aide to Durga the Hutt during the Darksaber Project. He styled himself "General" Sulamar, and was constantly boasting of his many conquests, such as the "Massacre of Mendicat," the "Rout of Rustabar," and the "Subjugation of Sinton." He also called himself the "Scourge of Celdaru."

Sulamar was a sallow-faced man with gray eyes. He wore an impeccable military uniform that was kept obsessively crisp and shiny. Yet Bevel Lemelisk thought to himself that Sulamar looked more like a boy trying to dress up as a man, suggesting that his braggadocio was cover for an inner weakness.

This impression was reinforced by Sulamar's negligible contribution to the Darksaber Project. He would often give orders in a loud voice, only to be immediately countermanded by Durga; given the job of locating computer cores for the Darksaber, the best his vaunted connections could come up with were a set of old, dangerously outmodeled ones.

When General Crix Madine was captured on board the Darksaber, he revealed that Sulamar was in fact a junior grade technician who was constantly transferred from one post to the next because of his incompetence. For example, the "Massacre of Mendicat" had occurred when Sulamar incorrectly programmed the orbital coordinates of an Imperial mining station, causing it to fall into the sun. This suggests what the true nature of his other "military" accomplishments was, though nothing else is known about them. It is not even certain that he ever held any officer's rank. Given the high and sometimes brutal standards in the Imperial military, it can only be guessed how Sulamar managed to avoid being decommissioned, or executed.

When a New Republic fleet arrived to destroy the Darksaber, Sulamar piloted the vessel through the Hoth asteroid belt, but was killed when an asteroid collided with the vessel.
