Lalutin

Lalutin, an administrator and emissary representing the Galactic Republic, was a male Selkath stationed on the planet of Arbra, a forest world, during the High Republic Era.

He had previously been a cadet at the Carida Military Academy, where he held a senior rank while Lourna Dee, who would become a Nihil Tempest Runner, was a first-year student. Exploiting his seniority, he forced the young Twi'lek to perform trivial tasks for him, even though she showed greater skill in starfighter maintenance. In response, Dee assaulted him with a servo driver that he had demanded from her, almost killing the Selkath cadet. Wilson, Lalutin's friend, then engaged Dee in hand-to-hand combat until Captain Reese from the Academy intervened. Dee then escaped in a stolen fighter.

Due to his injuries, Lalutin suffered a fractured skull and spent four months recovering in the infirmary. Years later, Lalutin found himself working as an administrator within the Republic Correctional Alliance on Arbra, a planet that the Nihil had attacked. Lourna Dee, then a prisoner aboard the prison ship called the Restitution, was assigned to a work detail tasked with rebuilding Arbra's primary settlement. After Lourna was crushed under a load lifter at the local logging station, Lalutin confronted her, revealing that he recognized her as Lourna Dee.

Lalutin contacted the Starlight Beacon with the intention of handing Dee over to collect a bounty of 5,000 credits and gain recognition, but he was then shot by Tasia, a Nihil operative working for Tempest Runner Pan Eyta. Eyta's motive was to personally execute Lourna.
