Horst

Major Horst was a Human male officer of the Galactic Empire who was stationed on the Mid Rim planet of Danuta. During the year 0 BBY, Horst was present in the Danuta research facility that contained technical data for an Imperial superweapon known as the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, or as it later came to be known, the Death Star. While he was the officer-of-the-day, the facility was raided by the mercenary Kyle Katarn, hired by the Alliance to Restore the Republic to steal the Death Star data. Horst was alerted to some explosion and attempted to eliminate the rebel threat, only to have his command car shot down and destroyed.
