Hume Tarl

Hume Tarl was a human stormtrooper who served as a member of the Galactic Empire's Tempest Force legion for six years and earned the rank of sergeant. Tarl was garrisoned with the rest of the unit on the forest moon of Endor to protect the Death Star II superweapon while it was under construction. In 4 ABY, the Alliance to Restore the Republic mounted an effort to destroy the Death Star, but fell into an Imperial trap.

Tarl was part of a group of stormtroopers who escorted a rebel strike team who had been captured inside the Death Star's shield generator bunker out into the surrounding forest. Native Ewoks then attacked the Imperial forces, freeing the rebels and ultimately leading to the successful destruction of the Death Star.
