Xecr Nist

Xecr Nist was a human Dark Jedi in the service of the reborn Emperor Palpatine. Following the death of Sedriss, Nist was imbued by Palpatine with new Dark Jedi powers and named Imperial Executor for Operation Shadow Hand.

Nist led the defense of Byss alongside Tedryn Sha. In retaliation for the New Republic's assault, Nist led a squadron of Dark Jedi in Howlrunner starfighters, labeled Dark Side Squadron, in an attack on New Alderaan. The Dark Jedi attempted to capture the young Solo twins, and Nist almost succeeded in escaping with them in tow, but was stopped by Leia Organa-Solo's blaster.

The Executor managed to escape the Jedi on New Alderaan and took up operations in Bast Castle on Vjun. There he and his Dark Jedi acolytes were confronted by Luke Skywalker, Empatojayos Brand and Kam Solusar. After a lengthy lightsaber battle, Skywalker subdued Nist, ostensibly imprisoning him.
