Legend

this man served as a Lieutenant in the armed forces of the Old Republic, and was one of the many fighter pilots who saw combat during the Clone Wars. Lieutenant H'Arman and his wingmate, Ensign Pleth Strom, were part of the team that was dispatched to Praesitlyn, under the command of General Khamar, to protect the Intergalactic Communications Center. However, when the Separatists finally launched their assault on the planet, the Republic's forces were unprepared for the sheer size of their army. H'Arman was shot down early in the battle, and would have died if his crash hadn't been observed by Odie Subu. For any number of reasons, Erk found himself deeply attracted to Odie, and they found that they were also good team in the field. Erk even found himself referring to Odie as the "best wingmate a fighter jock ever had." They were briefly assigned to a listening post established by the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia, but were overrun by battle droids when the Separatists launched their attack. They were buried beneath the rubble for several days before being discovered by a scout force led by Grudo. The team was subdued after Grudo was mistakenly shot by Odie, and later died of his wounds, but they kept on working. Erk agreed to fly a transport alongside Anakin Skywalker, during a daring mission to rescue the hostages at the communications center. In the chaos that ensued, Erk managed to lift off when the surviving hostages had been loaded aboard his ship. Skywalker's craft had been destroyed, and he was reluctant to leave the rest of the team behind, especially Odie. However, the safety of the hostages was paramount, and he lifted off to escape. The rest of the team managed to locate Skywalker and capture Pors Tonith, and returned to the Republic's main base. When Anakin returned from the final mop-up, Odie surprised both Anakin and Erk by asking the young Padawan to marry them. Anakin agreed, and united them in marriage shortly afterward.
