At the end of the first campaign, it is revealed that Harkov is intending to defect to the Rebel Alliance , for an unspecified (though presumably large) sum of money. Throughout the first two campaigns, the player character discovers evidence of Imperial arms and equipment in the hands of pirates, and in the possession of both sides of the Sepan Civil War. Harkov has been reporting shortages of the same equipment, providing a link that he is illegally selling arms to the highest bidder (even enemies of the Empire ).

Aware that the Empire has discovered the evidence of his misdeeds, Harkov prepares a trap for the player character, Maarek Stele , and tries to set him up for treason. The Secret Order of the Emperor comes to his aid and begins searching for Harkov to prevent his escape.

MOHC, ROM

Rom Mohc is a Galactic Republic hero and a decorated officer in the Imperial Military .

As a soldier in the Clone Wars , Mohc fought with a passion for personal combat under the command of General Locus Geen . Mohc gained a reputation for fighting Battle Droids in hand-to-hand combat and developed a keen understanding of cybernetics. His ability to ascertain the weaknesses of various droid designs proved invaluable at the Battle Of Coruscant .

Mohc's bravery during the Clone Wars and loyalty put him on the fast track to success in Palpatine 's New Order . On many worlds, Mohc fought in Palpatine's name, earning three Imperial Medals Of Valor and the Distinguished Medal Of Imperial Honor . Mohc continued his obsession with droids, often pitting himself against various deadly droids. His eccentric task for combat culminated in a trophy room of battle droids that he had defeated, including a prototype IG97 , an ZQ Infantry Droid , and several Mark IX-XI Executioners .

As a .

When Mohc was promoted to the rank of General , he used the resources available to him to complete the technical designs and implementation plans for the Dark Troopers. He knew his creation would please the Emperor, but Palpatine was obsessed with the Death Star project. With the failure of the first Death Star at the Battle Of Yavin , Mohc seized the opportunity to pitch his program to Palpatine. Infuriated with Tarkin 's failure, Mohc received authorization to begin his program.

The Dark Trooper project was given billions of credits to support the research and development of Mohc's brainchild. Mohc established a mining facility on Gormas 16 to acquire the near-indestructible metal Phrik , a weapons research facility on Fest , a robotics construction facility on Anteevy and build the massive starship '' Arc Hammer '' to act as a construction and mobile launch base for the Dark Troopers. After testing the Phase II Dark Troopers on the rebels at Talay, the Rebel Alliance sent Kyle Katarn to investigate and put an end to the Dark Trooper project.

Mohc battled Katarn in single combat aboard ''Arc Hammer'' wearing the prototype of the Phase III Dark Trooper, which Mohc intended to use to complement his droids with Stormtroopers in exosuits. Despite his prowess, Katarn bested Mohc and destroyed ''Arc Hammer'', atomizing Mohc and his team.


MOTTI, ADMIRAL


Admiral Motti is one of the high ranking officers aboard the first Death Star . Extremely arrogant, he is one of many officers who were overconfident of the station's invulnerability, thinking that, even if the Rebels did obtain the complete Schematic s of the station, any assault will be completely futile. Motti does not even believe in the true power of The Force , thinking the Death Star to be far more powerful.

He dares to make his opinions known in front of Darth Vader during a meeting aboard the Death Star. Darth Vader personally changes his opinion by using a brief Force chokehold on him, releasing him only at the order of Grand Moff Tarkin .

In the ''Star Wars'' radio dramatization, Motti's role is expanded somewhat. The Admiral tries on two occasions to convince Grand Moff Tarkin that the ultimate power of the Death Star rests in his hands, not Vader's or the Emperor's. Tarkin could essentially share dominion of the galaxy, with Motti at his right hand, once the rebels are dealt with. It is not mentioned however, if Grand Moff Tarkin agreed with his second officer.

It is Motti who convinces Tarkin to stay on the Death Star during the rebels' attack from Yavin 4 , pointing out that were he to evacuate his source of power, he would be seen as weak in his efforts to rule the galaxy.

Both Motti and Tarkin are killed when the Death Star is destroyed during the Rebel attack in the Battle Of Yavin .

Early scripts of '''' shuffled the names of Admiral Motti and General Tagge . One draft describes Motti as being wounded and battle-scarred. He is curiously absent from the novelization of ''A New Hope'', and there it's General Tagge who's the victim of Vader's Telekinetic stranglehold, while Tagge's lines are given to a new officer named Romodi.

Colonel Xexus Shev was one of the Imperial officers who swore loyalty to Carnor Jax , following the death of Emperor Palpatine . Shev was in command of garrison stationed on Phaeda , but he was very corrupt and would often ignore illegal activity in exchange for bribes.

When he learned that Kir Kanos , sought by Carnor Jax as a traitor, had come to Phaeda to hide out from the Imperials, Shev leapt at the chance to get into Jax's good graces by capturing Kanos. However upon informing General Redd Wessel of Kanos' presence on Phaeda, Shev was ordered not to take any action against the former Imperial Royal Guardsman, lest he compromise Kanos' capture.

Nevertheless, when Shev was told by Tem Merkon that Kanos was with the Rebel faction that had dug in on Phaeda, Shev disregarded Jax's order to stand down and sent his entire army against the Rebels. Initially the battle went with Shev, until Kanos stepped in and singlehandedly turned back Shev's forces.

Sometime later, Shev met Carnor Jax as he disembarked from his shuttlecraft with General Wessel and Lt. Geff Blim. Shev's efforts to explain himself proved futile, and Jax removed the colonel from his command. He was then executed by Jax's Stormtroopers .
