Terpfen

Terpfen was a Mon Calamari ship mechanic, who served as the personal mechanic of Admiral Ackbar.

Biography


Terpfen had been brainwashed by Imperial forces on Carida, forced to live life as a sleeper agent. He managed to sabotage Admiral Ackbar's personal B-wing shuttle, which caused the craft to crash, nearly killing the admiral and his passenger, Leia Organa Solo.

It was during a rescue mission to Anoth that Ackbar learned of Terpfen's betrayal. Yet, Terpfen finally overcame the implants in his brain, helping save young Anakin Solo and killing Ambassador Furgan. Ridden with guilt, he tried to send his MT-AT walker over a cliff. Quick action by Ackbar prevented him from taking his life, who said his punishment would be to live.

The admiral convinced Terpfen that he still had much service he could do for the New Republic and the galaxy. Terpfen agreed, deciding to return to Mon Calamari to help oversee the rebuilding efforts reparing damage inflicted by rogue admiral Daala.
