The Star Fortress over Balmorra was one of many dozens, if not hundreds of Star Fortresses deployed by Emperor Arcann of the Eternal Empire to watch for possible uprisings on worlds subjugated during the Eternal Empire conquest. It was commanded by Exarch Malforia, known for her ruthless ferocity and the fixation on Zakuulan Old God Tyth. However, her infamy proved to be her undoing, as the replicator droids of the Shroud destroyed the Star Fortress and took Malforia prisoner to study her fanaticism.
