Kirtan Loor

Kirtan Loor was a former CorSec Imperial Liaison to Corran Horn, and an Imperial Intelligence Agent who played a very large role in the events surrounding the capture of Coruscant by the New Republic.

Background
Kirtan Loor was quite possibly one of Rogue Squadron's greatest enemies. He has continually fought against them, and has come quite close to destroying the famed fighter squadron on several occasions. Loor's physical description describes him as a much taller and younger Grand Moff Tarkin, and he also has a 100% memory retention rate. Both of these traits made Loor very arrogant, and made him feel superior above others.

Early Career
The earliest details of Kirtan Loor show that he was once an Imperial Liaison Officer to CorSec. The officers he was assigned to were none other than Gil Bastra, Iella Wessiri, and Corran Horn. Loor was not interested in the internal affairs of CorSec, and even less in its officers. Loor also took great delight in complicating otherwise simple cases, even to the point of letting Corran's father's killer go free.

After enduring years of abuse under Loor, Gil, Iella, and Corran hatched a plot to escape Loor. After they managed to escape right under his nose, Loor then joined Imperial Intelligence and vowed to track down the three former CorSec officers and have his revenge.

Two years later, Loor managed to track down and capture Gil Bastra, though Gil had insisted that he had let Loor catch him on purpose, to keep pursuit off his friends. Loor then attempted to interrogate Gil, but when he put Gil in a bacta tank to cure him of a fatal disease, he failed to realize that Gil had an allergy to bacta. Gil died in the interrogation attempt, leaving Loor back where he started. It was at that time he was recalled to Coruscant by Ysanne Isard.

Employment under Isard
After his recall to Coruscant, Loor met Ysanne Isard, Director of Imperial Intelligence. Isard then recruited Loor and ordered him to track down and destroy Rogue Squadron. Reasons for why Loor was chosen are unknown, though it is suspected that Isard knew of his vendetta against Corran Horn, who at the time was a member of Rogue Squadron.

Working with Admiral Devlia, Loor managed to track down Rogue Sqadron to their base on Talasea. Fortunately, for Rogue Squadron, Devlia was skeptical and mistrusted Loor's abilities. He only sent a single squad of stormtroopers, who were easily dispatched by Rogue Squadron. When the New Republic retaliated and attacked Devlia's headquarters on Vladet, Loor made his escape. He was then ordered to go to Borleas, which was a vital steppng stone for the New Republic to reach Coruscant.

After his arrival, Loor met with General Evir Derricote. Loor warned Derricote about the inevitable New Republic attack, and also spied on Derricote. After Derricote managed to repel the first New Republic assault, Isard ordered Loor to bring Derricote back to Coruscant with him.

Events on Coruscant
After the capture of Borleias by the New Republic, and the insertion of Rogue Squadron into Coruscant, Loor was again tasked with fighting off the legendary squadron, though this time, he was only supposed to delay them until Isard could unleash her lethal Krytos virus on the planet's nonhuman population and put pressure on the New Republic. To do this, Loor enlisted the help of Zekka Thyne and Erisi Dlarit to spy on Rogue Squadron. Unfortunately for him, tough anti-espionage tactics employed by Wedge Antilles prevented him from stopping the New Republic's premature capture of Coruscant.

As the New Republic closed in, Isard informed Loor that he was to lead the Palpatine Counterinsurgency Front and perform guerrilla and terrorist attacks on the new government. While leading the PCF, Loor found himself working for Fliry Vorru, a former Corellian Moff. Vorru had Loor attack multiple targets, including a bacta storage facility and a school.

Loor was not happy with any of this, and secretly plotted to overthrow Vorru and Isard. When he learned of a convoy that was going to deliver bacta to the New Republic, Loor took the chance. Using twelve X-Wings he managed to obtain, Loor intended to steal the bacta for himself and blame the theft on Rogue Squadron. Unfortunately, Isard also knew of the convoy and tipped Warlord Zsinj about it. Zsinj destroyed the entire convoy, including Loor's fake Rogue Squadron.

With his plan in shambles, Loor was sure that Isard would discover his plans for betrayal. He sought sanctuary with the New Republic by offering to testify in Tycho Celchu's trial and divulging information about all Imperial activity on Coruscant. Loor never got the chance to reap the rewards of defection, however. Isard received word of a secret witness attending Tycho's trial. Thinking it was General Derricote, Isard sent Diric Wessiri, a sleeper agent and Iella's husband, to prevent him from testifying. As Loor was on his way to the courthouse, he was assassinated by Diric and died at the scene.

Loor's Legacy
As it turned out, even though Isard managed to keep him quiet, Loor got the last laugh. Before he died, Loor kept an encoded data card with him as a failsafe to prevent the New Republic from just killing him. When Corran discovered the card, he managed to decode the data. The datacard revealed every Imperial operation, terrorist cell, and safehouse on Coruscant. With Loor's help, the New Republic went a long way into making Coruscant more secure for the future.
