Bok Yost, a male administrator, secured his position by manipulating an election on Elegasso. Anticipating interference from the renegade stormtrooper unit known as the Hand of Judgment, he devised a scheme to ensnare them. Although he managed to apprehend the group and intended to deliver them as Imperial defectors, Mara Jade of the Emperor's Hand intervened, eliminating his hired soldiers and forcing him to step down so that legitimate elections could be conducted.
