Bentilais san Sk'ar

"Your fliers against our star destroyers? That won't be a fight. It will be a massacre!"

- Sk'ar

General Sk'ar was a huge, gray-skinned, jagged-jawed, hulking alien of an unknown species, serving in the Imperial Army. He was known to possess a rare Personal Energy Shield.

Biography


Sk'ar was commander of the strike force on Shiva IV, shortly after the Battle of Hoth. His mission on Shiva IV was to conquer the planet, using subterfuge and the aid of local fifth-column forces in preparation for an all-out attack. He would then set up a nominally independent puppet state and recruit the stronger residents as soldiers for the Galactic Empire.

Sk'ar's plans were halted by the interventiobn of the Rebel Alliance, specifically Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca. He fought Calrissian and was killed by Chewbacca while trying to escape Shiva IV.
