Mod Terrik

"Someone was in the pod. The tracks go off in this direction."

- Mod Terrik

Mod Terrik was an Imperial officer of the Desert Sands sandtrooper unit. Fearless and highly motivated, Terrik was willing to sacrifice as many troops as he felt necessary in order to achieve his objectives. He was a master tactician and was known for the deaths of hundreds of rebels.

Biography
When he was assigned to Tatooine in search of missing droids C-3PO and R2-D2, Terrik was in charge of the Desert Sands Zeta Squadron. He ordered and supervised attacks on a Jawa sandcrawler. Following the tracks of sandcrawler, they soon moved to the Lars Homestead, where they found the droids were. His troops captured Owen Lars and Beru Whitesun, and Darth Vader himself ordered them to execute them. They carried out this order and left shortly before Luke Skywalker arrived at the Lars homestead.

Later, Terrik and his men turned up at Docking Bay 94 to engage Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. There, amid the crossfire, Terrik was shot in the back and killed by one of his own troopers, Davin Felth, even though Felth did it secretly.

Behind the scenes
It is unknown if Mod was of any relation to the Corellian Booster Terrik.
