Eg'ros Akala
this Caamasi was befriended by Leia Organa, several years before the Battle of Yavin. Leia first metEg'ros on Coruscant, when the Caamasi was being mistreated by a squad of Imperial stormtroopers. Leia bristled at the Empire's blatant xenophobia, but found herself powerless to say anything to Emperor Palpatine about it. Instead, her father Bail arranged to have Eg'ros set free from prison. Grateful to be set free, Eg'ros never forgot Leia's bravery and kindness.
