Legend

this near-human was the child of human and Keed parents. He was known among the Keed as a great lettranin player, and was recruited to play shockball by Ger Plortor. Ytavarg emerged as one of the galaxy's most famous shockball players, during the height of the New Order. A member of the Shad Furies, Aleema earned a great deal of credit from a lucrative contract. After a match against the Quent Assassins, which the Assassins won 21-20, Ytavarg tried to rescue Ap Kormar from being beaten by some Furies fans. They killed Kormar before Aleema could intervene, claiming that they were making an example of Kormar to warn other Alliance sympathizers against taking action. In anger, Aleema used his shockball equipment to kill all seven of the attackers, an action which earned him a short suspension from league play. However, Aleema was determined to extinguish the xenophobia embraced by the Empire, and found himself trying to join the Alliance. After making contact with an Alliance agent, Aleema offered whatever services he could, either physical or financial. He had established a mansion on the planet of Melinz, which he secretly used as a safehouse for Alliance agents. Aleema himself was a foster agent, and secretly funneled a large portion of his income to the Alliance. He maintained a very public presence, providing endorsements and merchandising rights in order to earn more credits, which he later funneled to the Alliance.
