Legend

this man was a holo-documentarian who became a noted alien-rights activist during the Stark Hyperspace Conflict, and spent many years researching the abuses of the Trade Federation. The name Havac was an alias used by Eru Matalis, who was a native of the planet Eriadu. Havac worked from a base on Asmeru during the period leading up to the Battle of Naboo. A confederate of Arwen Cohl, Havac had no stomach for violence, but excelled in treachery and deceit. Havac was also a member of the militant wing of the Nebula Front, and was one of Cohl's main contacts in the organization. In fact, Havac was the man who hired Cohl to steal the aurodium ingots from the Revenue. Havac, in turn, had been secretly working with Senator Palpatine to help ensure that the Nebula Front was able to obtain resources and support. It was believed that Havac was responsible for the assassination attempt on Chancellor Valorum, a year before the Battle of Naboo. He later employed Cohl again, this time to gather a team of mercenaries and assassins in an attempt to finish off Chancellor Valorum on Eriadu. A secondary plan, which later became the main focus of the mission, was to eliminate Nute Gunray and the Directorate of the Trade Federation. He was forced to kill Cohl and his first team, after learning that the Jedi Knights were tracking his movements. Havac then took control of the mercenaries himself, but was unprepared to discover that Cohl had survived. In another brief struggle, Cohl and Havac shot each other to death. In the wake of Havac's death, the Nebula Front disintegrated.
