Galak Fyyar

"I, Galak Fyyar the First, the genius who conceived of the Shadow Armor, will rule the galaxy with a Cortosis fist! Worlds will tremble, stars will shudder&mdash;" "Your shields will fall."

- Galak Fyyar and Kyle Katarn

Galak Fyyar was a military scientist serving Lord Hethrir's powerful 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 crystals 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.

Similar cortosis armor, equipped with a focusing Artusian crystal, was issued to the shadowtroopers, 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 killed the admiral before escaping the doomed ship and battling Desann on the surface. Fyyar's plot was completely foiled.
