Malka

Malka was an Imperial officer enlisted at the rank of Sergeant. He was stationed at an outpost on the planet, Golrath and reported directly to Lt. Mils Giel.

Biography
In 3 ABY, a Rebel Alliance operation led by Princess Leia sabotaged Golrath Station, causing the reactor core of the facility to overload and explode. Malka and Lt. Giel boarded an Imperial troop transport shuttle and escaped from the devastation. Their ship suffered minor damage from the blast however, and they were forced to crash-land on the nearby planet known as Beheboth.

Stranded on the arid world, Malka loyally assisted Lt. Giel in a plan to enslave the powerful Tirrith entities that lived on the planet. They worked alongside a Quarren scientist and engineered a condenser unit that could contain the Tirrith creatures. They invested five years worth of their lives into the plan – a scheme that ultimately failed.

Although their dreams of revenge had died, they both managed to eventually escape from the desert terrain of Beheboth, but with the destruction of the Galactic Empire, their military careers came to an end.

Personality
Sgt. Malka was fiercely loyal to Mils Giel. After Giel was reduced in rank by Darth Vader, Sgt. Malka continued to address him as Admiral. During his stay on Beheboth, Malka developed a secondary hobby – writing. He chronicled the affairs of his superior officer and recorded everything onto a datapad. Malka hoped to one day publish Giel’s memoirs as a holonovel.
