Abal Karda

Abal Karda was a Human male who served as a colonel in the Imperial Army's Lightning Battalion. A well-respected soldier by his troops, Karda earned recognition for his service in the grueling Icarii Campaign on Vestar, which ultimately resulted in the extermination of the entire species save for their prophetess leader, Selestrine. After Selestrine attempted to kill herself with a deadly bioagent, Karda made use of the Icarii capacity for regeneration and decapitated her, saving her head from any harm while still keeping her technically alive. Karda hoped to use Selestrine's predictive abilities to advance his military career.

The rest of Karda's military career proved short-lived, however, as his commanding officer, General Nim was accidentally killed by the colonel while trying to retrieve Selestrine's head. Karda fled from Vestar, eluding agents of Supreme Commander Darth Vader, who summarily dispatched the bounty hunter Boba Fett to apprehend and kill Karda. Now a deserter and a fugitive under the alias of "Mixxim", Karda took lengths to disguise himself from the authorities, and, utilizing Selestrine's predictions, was able to elude them for a time, taking refuge with the Ancient Order of Pessimists on the volcanic world of Maryx Minor. Karda did not remain hidden for long though, as the bounty hunter descended on the Order's hermitage, killing the former colonel after a brief shootout.
