Legend

this man was easily distinguished by the cybernetic replacements he used for arms, because he made no pretense to disguise them. Sollaine chose not to have them covered with synthetic skin, making his appearance that much more fearsome. During the height of the New Order, Sollaine was in command of the Imperial Security Bureau, and was appointed by Emperor Palpatine himself to ferret out the location of Alliance spies who had infiltrated Imperial service. Sollaine was recommended for the work by Darth Vader, shortly before construction was completed on the Executor. In reality, Vader simply wanted Sollaine out of the way, and Sollaine never forgave the Dark Lord. Sollaine tried to intercept Rivoche Tarkin on Corulag, shortly before the Battle of Hoth, ignoring the list of suspected Alliance agents provided by Vader. When Vader learned of Sollaine's execution of Captain Nevik, the Dark Lord intercepted Sollaine at Corulag and executed him with a clean swipe of his lightsaber.
