Legend

this Imperial officer served as a Colonel in the armed forces, serving Admiral Giel during the years following the Battle of Yavin. In this capacity, Malka was able to escape with Giel from their damaged starship, only to be stranded on the planet Beheboth. There, Malka maintained a daily journal of their experiences, hoping that Giel might one day return to power. If he did, Malka might be able to parlay his journals into a series of best-selling holonovels, thereby earning himself a huge fortune in book and movie deals. In these journals, Malka documented virutally every aspect of Giel's plans, including the creation of speciallized globes that could contain a small collection of Tirrith. These globes were later used as weapons, releasing specially-modified Tirrith to destroy certain outposts. Giel planned to use these Tirrith to destroy the Alliance, in an effort to regain his position of power. When Darial Anglethorn discovered their plans, they tried to escape. Darial got off a shot at Giel, who shoved Malka in front of the blast. Malka later died of his injuries, as Giel took their ship and fled. However, parts of Malka's journals were eventually recovered by Luke Skywalker, who took them back to the leaders of the Alliance as a warning of Giel's actions.
