Legend

this young Imperial soldier was stationed on Alashan, serving under Major Grau during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Ensign Lopaki graduated from the Imperial Academy shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Lopaki bristled at Grau's ability to accept from any quarter, and his anger with his commanding officer boiled over when Grau agreed to a truce between the Imperial forces on Alashan and the Alliance agents, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, who had also been stranded by Alashan's strange powers. Ensign Lopaki's true nature was revealed when they traveled to the Alliance's archaeological dig site, when an avalanche badly injured an Imperial stormtrooper. Rather than trying to save the man, Lopaki abandoned him an in effort to save his own life. He nearly captured Luke and Leia, but he was killed by the Sentinel creature that was dispatched to eliminate them.
