Legend

this alien was the only member of his species to survive the Imperial destruction of his homeworld. A tall, muscular being with reddish skin and a large, triangular head and snakelike tendrils in place of hair, Stauz was a warrior who saw his family and neighbors destroyed, all so that Emperor Palpatine could make an example of them. Rather than allow his people to be completely erased, Stauz set out to exact revenge on the one being who he remembered from the Imperial assault: Darth Vader. Stauz executed Awarru Tark in battle, then had his unusual alien physiology surgically altered to resemble Tark's. He also had a force-field generator implantedin his own body, to provide an additional measure of protection. When Vader sent out the bounty on Han Solo and Leia Organa, Stauz answered the call as Tark. Rather than submit to Vader's commands, Stauz launched an attack on the Dark Lord, catching Vader off-guard and nearly defeating him aboard the Avenger. Unfortunately, Stauz was no match for the Force, and Vader's command of the situation allowed him to cleave Stauz's head from his body.
