Legend

this man was the only surviving member of the royal family of Velmor, which was led by King Lorac. He fled his homeworld as a youth, hiding from Imperial persecution on a jungle planet where he crash-landed during his flight. His beloved, Loren, was killed in the crash, leaving Denid alone but for his former advisor, Jedidiah. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were dispatched to rescue Denid and return him to the Alliance, in the hopes that his story would serve as a rallying cry for the rebellion on Velmor. During their attempt to obtain the throne, Denid fell in love with Leia, especially after she agreed to portray Loren when they arrived back on Velmor. In the ensuing intrigue, Denid found himself the only surviving member of the royalty, after Anod was shot by Traal and Zelor was defeated by Luke. He assumed the throne which was rightfully his, and agreed to throw off the yoke of Imperial control and join the Alliance. Leia respectfully refused his marriage proposal, and Denid agreed that the Alliance needed her more than he did.
