Legend

a Shistavanen scout, hiding from Imperial persecution on Tatooine. He was employed by the Empire as a scout, exploring the edges of known space in an effort to map out shipping routes for the Empire's growing mining operations. During one of his missions, he came across a group of dishomed colonists, who were actually members of the Alliance. He thought they were just settlers, and he offered his help in keeping them from starving. They tried to convert him to the beliefs of the Alliance, but he declined. He did, however, agree to keep their location a secret. The Empire, however, following up on his mission, discovered the settlers and interrogated them, learning of Lak Sivrak's ommission about their whereabouts. He was cut off from Imperial employment and chased off, persecuted and outlawed for helping the Alliance. Seeking shelter on a backwater world, Sivrak ended up on Tatooine, and was present in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke approach Han Solo for passage to the Alderaan system. While there, he met Dice Ibegon, a Florn Lamproid whose Force sensitivity connected with his own. In a strange relationship, the two joined the Alliance. Dice was never sure if Sivrak joined because of her or if he truly cared about the Alliance. Sivrak served as part of the ground force in the Battle of Hoth, but Dice did not survive the Imperial attack. Sivrak despaired, but Dice's Force-image visited him often, taking him back to the cantina and proving to him that, despite his love for her, the Alliance still needed his services. He was a veteran of the Battle of Hoth, where he served as an infantry gunner. Sivrak's growing competance with a starfighter got him his own X-Wing, and he flew in the Battle of Endor. Unfortunately, his ship was shot down, and he did not survive the crash. His Force-image was strong enough, though, that it joined those of Dice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker at the final celebration.
