Legend

this being claimed to be the First Steward within the Geroon Remnant, during the years leading up to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Bearsh was part of a group which mit up with the Chiss expedition that was searching for the remains of the Outbound Flight Project near Crustai. He arrived at Crustai to tell the Chiss - as well as Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker - that the Geroon had come to honor the Jedi Knights who once freed the Geroon from slavery at the hands of the Vagaari. Bearsh was delighted when Aristocra Formbi agreed to provide the Geroon with star charts and other astronomical data, to give the Geroon a chance to locate a new world on which to settle. When the Chiss records failed to produce a suitable world, Bearsh asked Luke Skywalker to petition the New Republic for assistance. Later, when Outbound Flight was discovered on a planetoid in the Redoubt, Bearsh and three of his Gerron attendants were part of the team to make first contact. Only Estosh was left behind, ostensibly due to an injury. It was while aboard the remains of the ship that Mara Jade Skywalker realized Bearsh's earlier transmissions were recorded, and that his explanation of why the Geroons were on the mission was probably a lie. Mara never got a chance to tell the others, because Bearsh and his fellow Geroons set their own plans in motion. Releasing their wolvkils during a meeting with the Managing Council, Bearsh and his comrades quickly killed the Chiss warriors in their group, then forced Uliar, Dean Jinzler, Aristocra Formbi, and their people into a corner. Bearsh explained that they were all to be killed, with only the method to be determined. It was then that Uliar recognized that Bearsh and his companions were, in actuality, Vagaari. Bearsh, a General among the Vagaari, was acting on orders from Supreme Commander Estosh during the mission. The Vagaari had hidden some 300 soldiers aboard their ship, all in suspended animation so that their lifesigns were undetectable by sensors. When they reached the ships of Outbound Flight, they soldiers were reanimated and sent into battle. Bearsh himself tried to eliminate Luke and Mara, but their skills with the Force were more than Bearsh anticipated. As his pirates died in combat around him, Bearsh fled deeper into the ship, and eventually reached the D-Four Dreadnaught just before Estosh and his forces stole the ship. Unfortunately, Bearsh was leading the defense force aboard the Dreadnaught when Luke and Mara intercepted it on the way to the Brask Oto Command Station. Bearsh was shot and killed in the firefight.
