TokaDies-SandBlasted

Admiral Toka is killed during the attack on Tak Base.

Toka was an admiral in the Rebel Alliance Fleet during the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire.[1] In 0 ABY,[2] Toka was stationed at Tak Base, a Rebel installation on the planet Talay, when Imperial General Rom Mohc tested his new Dark Trooper Project by launching dark troopers in a devastating assault against the base.[1]

As the Imperial attack rained down, Toka ordered Rebel Captain Bok to flee Talay aboard the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Grey Damsel using escape coordinates provided to them by the Alliance. Soon thereafter, Toka sent out a distress signal to anyone who might receive it but was immediately killed by blasterfire.[1] Five days after Toka's death, Alliance leader Mon Mothma showed the admiral's distress signal to mercenary Kyle Katarn in preparation for his follow-up investigatory mission to Talay.[3]

"But we can't abandon you here, Admiral Toka!"
"Launch now or perish! Use the escape coordinates the Alliance gave us. Flee!"

During the Imperial massacre of the Rebellion's Tak Base, Admiral Toka demonstrated his selflessness by ordering his friend and fellow Mon Calamari Captain Bok to escape Talay and warn the Alliance of the Empire's new threat rather than risk trying to rescue Toka. The admiral volunteered to stay behind and transmit a distress signal, even though doing so meant abandoning himself to his fate. As a Mon Calamari, Toka had orange skin and yellow eyes.[1]

Equipment

Admiral Toka wore the Mon Cal uniform jerkin[1][4] during his service at Tak Base.[1]
