Bertroff Hissa

"...to my fellow grand moffs, and to the grand admirals, other officers, stormtroopers, bounty hunters, slavelords, and slaves, I bid you all Dark Greetings!"

- Grand Moff Bertroff Hissa

Bertroff Hissa was an important Imperial leader following the Battle of Endor, serving as a Grand Moff. Hissa was of alien origin, which made him one of the few exceptions to the Empire's anti-alien policies along with Grand Admiral Thrawn. Hissa's species was a humanoid and signified by pointed teeth.

Biography
Bertroff Hissa discovered Trioculus and realized the three-eyed Kessel slavelord could pass as the Emperor's alleged son Triclops, who the Grand Moffs deemed unfit to rule. Though Trioculus was named Emperor, his role was more that of a figurehead and Hissa seemed to be the one who was actually in control.

Following Trioculus' imprisonment in carbonite by Zorba the Hutt, Hissa was forced into working with the false Prophets of the Dark Side. He accompanied High Prophet Jedgar to Duro, where he lost his arms and legs in a industrial mishap. Confined to a hoverchair and his arms replaced with mechanical ones, he boldly declared that he and his fellow Moffs would fight against the Prophets and return themselves to power.

To that end, he and the other Moffs, onboard the Imperial Moffship, captured Zorba the Hutt's spaceship Zorba's Express, finding the carbonite block of Trioculus inside. Upon discovering that Leia Organa was also a prisoner of Jabba, he was ordered by Trioculus to perform a wedding ceremony between himself and Leia. Unforunately, while this was happening, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Ken broke onto the Moffship, replaced Leia with the Project Decoy Human Replica Droid made in her likeness, and escaped.

The droid killed Trioculus, who with his dying breath warned Hissa about reprisals from Kadann for his loyalty to him. Soon afterward, he and the other Moffs were captured by the Supreme Prophet and put to trial. Hissa was the only one to proclaim his innocence, and was granted the harshest punishment of the group.

Before his execution could be carried out, Kadann made his move to take over the Lost City of the Jedi on Yavin 4. Hissa was used to test whether or not the data, provided to Kadann by Triclops, was accurate. Hissa was chained to his hoverchair and sent down into the city by the turbolift car on the surface.

Unfortunately, the tube led to a recently opened underground lava flow, into which Hissa was deposited and killed instantly.
