Mirkovig Hirken

Mirkovig Hirken was a Human male who served as the warden and administrator of the highly secretive Corporate Sector prison known as Stars' End. Hirken grew up in an old, prestigious family on Alsakan, and after an upper-crust upbringing, he utilized his family connections to earn a high-paying job in the Corporate Sector Authority. There, Hirken steadily rose through the ranks to become Viceprex of Corporate Security, and by 2 BBY, he took over an experimental prison project that would become Stars' End, where inmates were held in suspended animation.

Hirken threw himself entirely into Stars' End, filling it with a handpicked list of criminals, undesirables and personal enemies. However, the prisoners' disappearances led to investigations from family members and loved ones—before long, a group that included infamous Corellian smuggler Han Solo had uncovered the location and purpose of Stars' End. Solo led an infiltration of the prison that turned into a full-fledged prison break, in the process causing a massive power plant explosion that blasted Stars' End clear into space. Hirken desperately tried to bargain with Solo for help escaping the doomed prison, only to be shot and killed by his scorned wife, Neera.
