Legend

this gruff, Corellian man held the rank of General in the Grand Army of the Republic, during the height of the Clone Wars. General Khamar was dispatched to the planet Praesitlyn with a modest military force, to serve as the primary defensive force protecting the Intergalactic Communications Center. Many wondered why he as given such a relatively small force, given the importance of the communications center. Khamar himself thought the Republic's defense of Praesitlyn was severely lacking in strength, but he kept it to himself, even though he didn't understand it. These fears were realized with a huge Separatist assault force, led by Pors Tonith, attacked Praestilyn and captured the facility some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis. Despite several desparate stands against overwhelming odds, General Khamar and his forces stood their ground as the fighting began. However, because the Separatists had started jamming all communications, Khamar was unable to dispatch a message to Coruscant requesting reinforcement. His troops were quickly overrun, and even the appearance of Zozridor Slayke and his soldiers couldn't save them.
