Legend

this acquaintence of Kirtan Loor once ridiculed Loor for using skirtopanol on an Alliance captive, even though the prisoner was known to have used lotiramine. Bastra was a member of the Corellian Security agency at the time, and was in charge of assigning Imperial Intelligence agents to Loor and other operatives. Bastra's low opinion of Loor led him to assign the worst agents to assist Loor, a fact that was not lost upon Loor. Before that, Bastra was a business partner with Corran Horn's father. He worked with Corran, Iella and Diric Wessiri, and a number of other Alliance supporters. When he needed to hide them from Imperial eyes, Bastra and Corran Horn created false identification records for a group of smugglers. Then, in a staged confrontation, Bastra accused Horn of killing the smugglers in cold blood. Thus, they all managed to flee Imperial control. When Bastra defected, he led Loor on a merry goosechase across the galaxy, feeding Loor enough clues to keep him on Bastra's trail. This suited Bastra fine, because it drew Loor away from the locations of the others in his group. When Loor finally captured Bastra, he savagely interrogated him but got no information. Bastra finally died under the strain of the interrogation.
