Transe Decar was a Human male minister on the planet of Zaloriis during the rule of the Galactic Empire. Circa late 2 ABY to early 3 ABY, during the Galactic Civil War, Decar decided to lead Zaloriis to defect from the Empire to the growing Rebellion against it. One of Decar's first rebellious actions was deliberately ignoring Zaloriis's monthly tribute to the Empire, which attracted the attention of the Sith Lord Darth Vader, who saw Decar's actions as a vague clue to the Alliance Fleet's location, and went to Zaloriis to investigate. Upon his arrival, Decar ambushed Vader and revealed his defection to the Rebellion. Vader, however, was unfazed by the announcement and used the Force to strangle Decar. Vader and his troops then fought and destroyed the Rebel presence on Zaloriis.
