* TokenCompetentMinion: A downplayed example. Daine Jir is one of the few Imperial officers under Darth Vader's command that is respected by the Sith Lord. Jir serves as an HonestAdvisor to Vader and is allowed to speak his mind about Vader's actions. Jir is also the only one to point out to Vader that holding Leia Organa could end up generating sympathy for the Rebellion and his prediction that Leia would not betray the Rebellion under torture proves true. The Empire might have won the war if they had more people like Jir on their side.

* TheConsigliere: The combination of being a relatively junior officer and ''absolute fearlessness'' when speaking with Vader earns his respect. He's by no means any more intelligent or competent than Vader, but he is loyal, respectful, and honest, and as long as everything he says to Vader comes from that, Vader will listen.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/canonhaus_sw.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Human

->'''Portrayed by:''' Stephan Buchanan
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack The Final Order]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''

The second-in-command of the ''Ultimatum'' under Commodore Rae Sloane. He held command of the Star Destroyer during the Battle of Hoth due to Sloane being away on assignment.
----
* HeelRealization: He has come to realize that the Empire is corrupt and unworthy of serving after filing a nonsense report about the destruction of Alderaan refugee ships that stated they were Neimodian traders trying to erase records of the Emperor's gambling debts and that Darth Vader was a starship. When no one contacted him about it he knew that it hadn't even been read and was likely just stuck in a vault somewhere, which means that Imperial leaders can literally do whatever they wish and get away with it without any worry of oversight. Canonhaus is terrified of what more decades of Imperial rule will do to the galaxy and believes it won't be a place worth living in.
* JustFollowingOrders: How he rationalized the destruction of a Alderaanian refugee convoy to himself, but that excuse eventually was not enough for him to avoid the guilt he felt.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: The identity of the Imperial captain whose ship was destroyed during their holoconference call with Darth Vader was one of the longest running questions in a franchise that typically gives a name and backstory to even the most minor characters. He was finally identified in ''Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack''.
* OldSoldier: He has been in the navy for thirty years, first serving as a midshipman in the Republic.
* ShellShockedVeteran: He suffers from vivid flashbacks to his time on Haruun Kal and the horrors he saw there helping put down a resurrection against the Empire. Participating in the destruction of a convoy of Alderaanian refugees made his trauma worse.

The ''Ultimatum'''s second-in-command during the mission to Gorse.

Sloane realizes that she needs to be wary of him in the future since he looked distinctly unhappy about her getting the promotion instead of him.]]

->'''Appearances:''' ''Literature/ANewDawn'' | ''[[Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack Lord Vader Will See You Now]]''

The chief planetary science officer of the ''Ultimatum''.
----
* ForScience: She suggests blowing up Cynda even it doesn't make mining the thorilide easier, just to find out what the effect on Gorse and its population would be.
* LackOfEmpathy: She obviously does not even factor in the fact that people are living on Gorse and what would happen to them into her calculations of what would happen if Cynda was destroyed.
* MadScientist: She is clearly unhinged, to the point that the other Imperials on the ''Ultimatum'' are creeped out by her.
* SoleSurvivor: Thanks to being on a mission with Sloane at the time, Deltic is not present when teh ''Ultimatum'' is destroyed in the Hoth system's astroid field and is thus the only crewmember who lives.
