Legend

this male was the youngest of the group aliens which accompanied Bearsh aboard the Chaf Envoy, during the mission to search for the remains of the Outblund Flight Project, some twenty-two years after the Battle of Yavin. When Luke Skywalker agreed to help the Geroon Remnant locate a suitable new homeworld in the Outer Rim, Estosh couldn't contain his excitement. Later, Estosh met with Dean Jinzler to talk about Outbound Flight, just before someone tried to sabotage the drive system aboard the Chaf Envoy. A short time later, Estosh was found shot and injured, having been hit in the back with a blast from a charric weapon. Although he was in great pain, Estosh survived the attack, only to have Bearsh order him to remain behind when the ship actually reached Outbound Flight's location. This order seemed unusual, since Estosh's injuries were not severe, but Mara Jade Skywalker later realized that Bearsh had been lying about the true nature of the Geroons' mission to Outbound Flight. Estosh and his companions were later revealed to be, not Geroon, but Vagaari, when Director Uliar recognized their language when Bearsh captured him and held him prisoner. Lake and Mara also began to question Estosh's injury, and came to believe that it had been inflicted by his fellow Vagaari. In reality, Estosh was the Supreme Commander of the Vagaari, and this injury was a cover story so that he could remain behind and free more than 300 Vagaari from hibernation aboard their starship. He then led the attacks on both the Chaf Envoy and the Outbound Flight, revealing in a message to Luke and Mara that the Vagaari were on a mission of revenge against the Chiss. The Vagaari planned to steal one of the Outbound Flight Dreadnaughts and restore it to working condition, then use it as a base from which to strike at the Chiss. Estosh and his forces managed to flee the planetoid with the D-Four Dreadnaught, and headed for the Brask Oto Command Station. He had anticipated a possible attack en route, as Luke and Mara discovered when they managed to reach D-Four about an hour before Brask Oto. However, any ease with which they reached the bridge was nullified when Estosh sent a functional droideka after the Jedi. It was the droidekas that the Vagaari were after, in an effort build an army that they could use against the Chiss. When Luke and Mara defeated the droideka, Estosh was forced to unleash a deadly, corrosive poison in the Dreadnaught's bridge, hoping to kill the Jedi even as he himself died. However, Mara managed to vent the bridge by cutting a hole in a transparisteel viewport, but not before all the Vagaari on the bridge died from the poison.
