Legend

once regarded as a promising politician, this Imperial Governor was in control of the planet Kintoni during the early years of the New Republic. He was targeted for removal by the Republic, who dispatched Crix Madine and a team of troopers to capture him. Barkale's capture was interrupted by the appearance of Mara Jade on Kintoni, who had been trying to evade Ysanne Isard. Jade knew of Barkale from a meeting with Emperor Palpatine, who had been questioning the increasing loss of credits from Kintoni, losses which Barkale had written off to rebel raids. Jade discovered that Barkale had been warehousing credits, artworks, and other valuable items for some ten years, and reporting them stolen by the Alliance. Since she was still a member of the Imperial order, Jade executed Barkale as a traitor to the New Order, but allowed Madine to recover Barkale's warehouse as a way to fund the New Republic.
