Boaz

"You filthy coward! May you rot in―"

- Boaz's last words

Boaz was a member of the Stormtrooper Corps during the Galactic Civil War. Not long after the Battle of Yavin, he was part of a team sent to recover the stolen experimental starship known as the Staraker, which they followed to the Alashan system. A superlaser fired from the surface forced the Staraker to crash land on Alashan, and also destroyed the Imperial vessel. Boaz and several others were able to survive by getting away in an escape pod, which crashed on Alashan.

The team met with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on the surface of Alashan and decided to work together to investigate the source of the superlaser. Boaz broke his leg in an avalanche caused by the superlaser firing at a nearby mountain, and was killed when Ensign Kyril Lopaki refused to come to his aid in order to save himself.

Behind the scenes
Boaz appeared in the second part of the Unholy Alliance comic series, The Word for World is Death, which was published in April 1980.
