Legend

this man was the Director of the New Republic Intelligence agency during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Prior to heading up the NRI, he had been an Admiral with the Republic's Fourth Fleet. He was distinguished by pale blue eyes and pronounced widow's peak, although many wondered how the frail-looking man could command such power and respect. Scaur and his forces worked in concert with the Chiss, Hapans and Bothans, gathering a wealth of information about Yuuzhan Vong culture and physiology under the auspices of the Alpha Red operation. Scaur was more than angry when Cal Omas and the leaders of the New Republic chose not to emply the Alpha Red virus, based on the concerns of the Jedi Knights. He harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Jedi, but continued to work toward what he believed were the best interests of the galaxy. Years later, Scaur was placed in charge of organizing the missions to destroy the yammosks on Caluula and Toong'L, just prior to the anticipated Yuuzhan Vong attack on Mon Calamari. His posting as organizer was secondary to his true mission, which was to deploy a new strain of the Alpha Red virus at Caluula. When the virus worked too well, killing not only the Yuuzhan Vong and their biotechnology but also flitnats and winged-stars, the Alpha Red project was once again put on hold. With the surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong at Coruscant shortly afterward, Dif Scaur was quietly forced to resign his position by Cal Omas.
