Biography
The Human male Kale Roshuir became an officer in the Imperial Army during the Imperial era and, in the months following the Rebel Alliance's shock victory over Imperial forces at the Battle of Yavin, held the rank of captain and was stationed at the Imperial base on Kalist VI in the Deep Core. Following the Empire's victory over rebel forces on Jabiim approximately seven months after the Battle of Yavin, many Imperial survivors were transferred to Kalist VI and placed under Roshuir's command. Soon after their arrival, Roshuir interrupted a fight between one of the new arrivals, Lieutenant Janek Sunber, and Lieutenant Clynn, an officer whose poor disciplinary record was well known to Roshuir. The captain gave both men a double shift supervising prisoners working in the Imperial labor colony as punishment.

Later that day, Roshuir was summoned to the base's operations center by its commanding officer, General Noils. The Imperial tanker Nuna's Twins had recently arrived at Kalist VI under attack from Rebel starfighters and Noils wanted Roshuir to plan a counterattack. The tanker's commander, Captain Harran, briefed the group on the recent attack, informing them that the Nuna's Twins had first encountered their pursuers in the Thila system. Roshuir had heard rumors some time ago of a Rebel base in the system and Noils instructed him to determine if it was to be used as a staging ground for a new offensive. Lieutenant Deena Shan, a science officer aboard the Nuna's Twins, informed Roshuir that she had been part of a geographic survey of the Thila system during her Imperial training and offered to assist him in pinpointing the Rebel base's location. Roshuir agreed and the two began work in the base's cartography section.

Roshuir and Shan soon located the likely location of the Rebel base on the planet Thila and Roshuir was chosen to lead a significant proportion of Kalist Base's stormtroopers in an attack on the facility the next day. The Imperial captain was impressed by Shan's intelligence and the two spent the night together in Roshuir's quarters. The next morning, as Roshuir prepared to leave for Thila, Shan voiced her misgivings that he may be walking into a Rebel trap, but the captain dismissed her concerns. As Roshuir's troops prepared to depart, Clynn informed him that Sunber had turned a blaster on him during a disagreement over disciplining a prisoner. Though Sunber tried to explain that he had prevented Clynn from raping the prisoner, Roshuir ordered him to remain on Kalist VI pending a full inquiry upon his return.

It was an ambush and Roshuir's troops were wiped out, though he managed to survive. He returned to Kalist VI and confronted Deena, but was incapacitated by one of the rebels who had infiltrated the base and was unable to prevent them from completing their mission.

Later, he was tasked with capturing Luke Skywalker by using Luke's old friend Janek Sunber&mdash;now an Imperial officer&mdash;as bait. Roshuir and his stormtroopers had Luke and Deena Shan pinned down aboard a space station in an Imperial junkyard, giving Janek the opportunity to take the pair. He was surprised when Janek took no action, allowing them all to escape.
