Legend

this daughter of Imperial Governor Torlock was secretly plotting with Torlock's most trusted advisor, Admiral Droon, to execute her father and take control of the planet Corulag. Torlock suspected that the Alliance was a great threat, and had human replica droids created of himself and Frija. When Torlock learned that Frija and Droon had told Darth Vader that he was a traitor to the Empire, Torlock fled Corulag and activated the droids. The droid Torlock was captured by Droon and Frija and imprisoned, but their plan to execute Torlock was still in motion. Vader had sent Jix to execute Torlock, but he instead encountered the droid Frija. She was about to be destroyed by Droon's agents, but Jix rescued her and learned of the plots. Jix was eventually captured by Droon, but not before meeting the droid Torlock. Droon and Frija attempted to remove both of them by feeding them to the dragon snakes that live in the caves of Corulag, but they escaped and returned to confront Droon. In the midst of the struggle, Droon shot and killed the real Frija before being captured by Jix. Jix then took Droon and the two human replica droids to Coruscant. He allowed the droids to take a shuttle and flee Coruscant, and they decided to hide out on Hoth. The droid Frija encountered Luke Skywalker when he was forced to land on the planet shortly after leaving the planet Aridus. The droid Torlock tried to kill Luke, but Frija's droid intervened, taking a blaster bolt meant for Luke. Frija was mortally wounded. Luke retailiated, slicing the father in two with his lightsaber. It was then that Luke discovered she and her father were droids. The droid Frija was unable to remain active as a result of the damage from the blaster bolt, and expired before Luke could save her. Luke then returned to the Alliance with the location of the planet.
