Staff Sergeant Rothax served within the ranks of the Galactic Marines of the Galactic Empire.
In the year 1 ABY, Staff Sergeant Rothax found himself posted at the Talus Imperial Outpost, where his duties included providing weapons and armor as rewards to Imperial personnel demonstrating exceptional combat prowess.
Speculation arose that he bestowed upon an unidentified Imperial a sword that bore a striking resemblance to, or may have actually been, the legendary Sword of Ajunta Pall.
Rothax exists as a Non-Player Character (NPC) within the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. His introduction to the game occurred via Game Update 10, coinciding with the implementation of new Player versus Player battlegrounds. He functions by providing a selection of armaments and protective gear to Imperial-aligned players who consistently engage in battlefield combat.
