Also, when Starkiller wanted information on an individual, PROXY would turn into that person and access databases to confirm his or her identity.Įliminating the surviving Jedi Rahm Kota He could also present messages: he would turn holographically into the sender, and the sender would relay the message. PROXY was equipped with advanced hologram technology that, when coupled with its built-in servos, would allow him to change appearance and adopt a wide range of disguises. Despite their friendship, PROXY was programmed by Vader with a prime directive to kill his master, further adding to his training. PROXY was a prototype holodroid who served as a companion and long time friend of Starkiller and traveled with him on the Rogue Shadow. The Dark Lord handpicked enlisted Imperials to pilot the Rogue Shadow, though he usually executed each of them within only a handful of missions. To aid him in his task, Vader had provided Starkiller with two tools: a holodroid named PROXY, and a starship, the Rogue Shadow. Among the young man's targets were spies, thieves, and even high-ranking traitors to Imperial rule. During their meetings, Vader would inspire Galen with his Sith destiny to help Vader defeat and overthrow the Emperor.Įventually, Vader dispatched Starkiller on assassination missions against adversaries of both Vader and the Empire. In time, he was given a home on the incomplete Executor battleship, which was being constructed by droids only, thus maintaining certain aspects of the super star destroyer, like Starkiller and his abode, known of by Darth Vader alone. Throughout his training, Galen did not know his true name, but was referred to only by the codename Vader had given him: "Starkiller." Starkiller's existence was kept secret from the rest of the Galactic Empire, including the Dark Lord's master, Emperor Palpatine. Singed repeatedly by his master's lightsaber blade, he bore scars from his multiple mock duels. During the brutal training regimen, Galen was pushed to his limits and, on several occasions, thought he was on the brink of death, which he determined served to strengthen him in the dark side of the Force. Conversely, Galen's master would never debate or enter into deep discussion with the boy. The pair frequently sparred with their lightsabers, or even with their powers. The Dark Lord was never kind or encouraging towards his charge, and Marek had to endure constant punishment and rigorous exercise. The boy was not guided every step of the way by his new master instead, he was allowed to find his own way, with Vader offering scant advice and instruction. Now in Vader's custody, the young Galen was taught the ways of the Force by the Dark Lord personally. He then brought the young Marek with him off Kashyyyk and trained him to become his secret apprentice. Vader quickly summoned his saber from the infant's grasp and deflected their blasts, killing them so there would be no witnesses of the boys existence. Mistakenly thinking that the child intended to attack Vader with his own weapon, he directed his men to kill him. After killing his father, the Stormtrooper commander leading the assault arrived. Vader could sense potential in the boy to become the most powerful Force user in the galaxy. He turned in defense only to discover a young boy holding his lightsaber. As Vader was about to deal the finishing blow to Kento, his lightsaber was pulled from his hand. Using the force, he found Kento, who met him with fierce resistance, though Vader proved stronger. Not long after the onset of the Great Jedi Purge, amid an Imperial attack on Kashyyyk, Darth Vader landed on the planet in a shuttle on his own mission to hunt a rogue Jedi. His mother had been killed while defending Kashyyyk from Trandoshan slavers. While Galen was watched over by the Wookiees, it is not clear whether he was born on Kashyyyk or if he was born before his parents arrived there and travelled there with them. Galen Marek was the son of Kento and Mallie, who had traveled the galaxy in search of safe haven until they met the fiercely loyal Wookiees of Kashyyyk.
