Ytavarg Aleema, originating from Keedad as a Keed, served within Alliance Intelligence as a Foster Agent for the Rebel forces. Renowned throughout the galaxy as a shockball superstar, he guided the Shad Furies to an impressive five championship victories in the Royal Imperial Shockball League, triumphing over more than eighty elite galactic teams.
His affiliation with the Alliance started when he tried to stop an assault by seven Human Furies supporters on Ap Kormar, a non-Human center for the Quent Assassins. It was discovered that a remote Moff orchestrated the attack, suspecting Kormar of being a Rebel supporter. Using only his shockball and scoop, Aleema eliminated the seven attackers, but Ji, the Furies coach, used political influence to allow him to return to shockball after a warning and a short suspension.
After delving into the Rebel cause, Aleema concluded that the most effective way to oppose the Empire was by financing it. Vigorously seeking merchandising and sponsorship deals, he secretly channeled half of his income to the Alliance. His sprawling estate in the foothills near Shad on Melinz functioned as a secure refuge for fleeing Rebel agents.
