Biography:
The Galactic Empire came to the planet of
Kashyyyk to find a Jedi refuge being protected by the Wookiees. Darth Vader
himself led the attack and easily cut down the Wookiees in his path. Vader
found the Jedi (Kento Marek) in a hut being protected by a group of Wookiees. Vader killed
the Wookiees and brought down the hut. Darth Vader and the Jedi fought, and
eventually, Vader won. He then sensed a more powerful Force user nearby,
assuming it to be the Jedi's master. After the Jedi would not reveal the
location of his master, Vader was about to deliver the killing blow when his
Lightsaber was snatched from his hand with the Force by a young Galen Marek
- the Jedi's son. Vader killed the Jedi, and then confronted the child. When
Imperial troops arrived, they saw the child and the commander ordered he be
executed. Vader used the Force to take his Lightsaber back, and killed the
Imperials.
Darth Vader would train Galen as his personal
assassin. Galen went by the codename "Starkiller." He carried out many
assassinations on Imperial officers and senators who became too rebellious.
Always with the command "leave no witnesses," and was ordered to kill
Imperials and non-Imperials alike who might have seen him, in order to hide
him from Emperor Palpatine. He flew these missions aboard his ship the
Rogue Shadow. He had had many pilots in the past, and all of them had
been killed during the missions.
Galen had one friend throughout his life,
PROXY. A holo droid who assisted in Galen's training. PROXY is also
programmed to kill Galen if given the chance. He has failed every time, but
continues to try.
Then, finally, Galen was given a Jedi to
hunt: General Rahm Kota. Kota had attacked an Imperial TIE Factory above Nar
Shaddaa with a group of his personal militia. He was given a new pilot:
Captain Juno Eclipse, former leader of Black Squadron. She had equipped the
Rogue Shadow with advanced scanning technology, capable of scanning a
ship within a planetary system.
Kota planned to destroy the space station,
but also wanted to draw Darth Vader out to defeat him. After battle with Kota's militia and Imperial
personnel, Galen finds Kota in the station's command center. Kota was
surprised, and somewhat insulted, that Vader sent "a boy" to defeat him.
Galen eventually gained the upper hand in the duel, and the two got into a
Saber lock. Kota told Galen that he didn't sense Vader in his future and, to
his disbelief, sensed himself. While Kota was distracted by the vision he
saw for Galen, he pushed Kota's Lightsaber down on him, making the blade hit
Kota's eyes. Galen then used the Force to hurl Kota out of the space station
and into Nar Shaddaa's upper atmosphere. Galen then took Kota's Lightsaber
and was retrieved by Juno in the Rogue Shadow.
Galen returned Kota's Lightsaber to his
master, Darth Vader, aboard the under-construction Super Star Destroyer
Executer. He was then tasked with hunting another Jedi on the garbage
planet, Raxus Prime.
