Marik, Joha
this pirate was an acquaintence of Urias Xhaxin. Xhaxin tried to convince Marik to join the growing number of pirates who were being contracted by the Alliance to ambush Imperial convoys and steal supplies for the war effort. Marik refused, citing that the Alliance was a group of illegal operatives who were disrupting the balance of the galaxy. Xhaxin, realizing that Marik would turn on him at some point, arranged for Marik to be captured by the Empire. After the Empire squeezed information on Xhaxin's movements from him, Marik was executed.
