―Umak Leth, on World Devastators[3]

Umak Leth was an Imperial engineer.

Biography

During the Great Jedi Purge, Leth designed the Universal Energy Cage to hold and transfer Jedi captives.[4] He also developed the "resonator" devices, weapons which were used to torture and subjugate the Marasan people.[5] After the Battle of Yavin discredited Bevel Lemelisk, Leth was given the position of Master of Imperial Projects for his creation of an advanced model of molecular furnace.[6]

Years later he designed the Galaxy Gun for the reborn Emperor Palpatine,[2] as well as the World Devastators,[6] SD-10 battle droids, and Shadow Droids.[7] In addition, he presented the cloned Emperor with the XR-85, allowing the tank droids to finally be fully realized.[4] He was killed when Palpatine's flagship Eclipse II fell out of hyperspace and collided with the Galaxy Gun.[1]
