Hindane Darcc

An ambitious Human male, Hindane Darcc was an Imperial officer, captain, governor, and later Moff. Around 19 BBY, the Imperial served under the command of Moff Wilhuff Tarkin aboard his flagship Executrix. After his assignment aboard the Star Destroyer, Darcc was transferred to the forest planet of Kashyyyk. There, he rose through the ranks of Imperial rule, eventually becoming governor of the planet.

After Emperor Palpatine perished during the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, resulting in the Empire's subsequent disarray, Darcc used the vast Imperial resources at hand on Kashyyyk, as well as his position as planetary governor, to proclaim himself Moff of the Mytaranor sector. Ruling from Kashyyyk inside his Palace, Darcc formed alliances with the Trandoshan slaver Pekt and the traitorous Wookiee Weebacca in an effort to rid the planet Kashyyyk of its native sentient species, the arboreal Wookiees.

Moff Darcc's rule over Kashyyyk worried Wookiee chieftain Attichitcuk, who contacted his son, Chewbacca, in an effort to petition the burgeoning New Republic. Chewbacca, together with Han Solo, responded personally after the New Republic proved unable to assist. Once made aware of Darcc's intentions, Chewbacca formed an army, joining several Wookiee villages, in an effort to liberate the planet. Though Darcc tried to defeat the growing resistance, the Wookiees forced the Moff to flee the planet with Pekt and take refuge within a fortress on the Avatar Orbital Platform above Kashyyyk. Pursuing the Moff and bolstered by a collection of New Republic forces, Chewbacca's army overwhelmed the Imperial defenses, killing Darcc and destroying the orbital station.
