| 28 | |
| 29 | Born out of the Republic Navy, the Imperial Starfleet focuses on the superiority of capital ship firepower over all other considerations. Most Imperial ships have a dagger shape designed to strike fear into the hearts of those who see them. Starfighter squadrons are given little consideration by the rest of the navy, being viewed as disposable assets designed to overwhelm the enemy with numbers rather than technological superiority or skill. |

| 41 | -->--'''Nash Windrider''' |
| 42 | |
| 43 | A partially complete space station that served as the successor to the original Death Star. Similar to the first Death Star, this station was designed to terrorize planets and star systems. However, it also served another purpose which involved luring the Rebel Alliance into a battle which would annihilate them once and for all. |
| 44 | ---- |
| 45 | * AdaptationalNonsapience: In ''Legends'', IG-88A secretly uploaded his consciousness into the Death Star's central computer, becoming the weapon in the process, and intended to use it to instigate a droid rebellion, only to fail before he could start when the Death Star was destroyed. In canon, IG-88B made a similar attempt, but was thwarted by an astromech droid aboard the station. |
| 46 | * DeflectorShields: The new Death Star is protected by one, generated by a station on Endor. |
| 47 | * ObfuscatingDisability: It's designed to look not-quite finished, with massive gaps in the superstructure (and technically speaking, it isn't actually finished by the opening of ''Return of the Jedi''). As Luke, and then the Rebellion as a whole, learns, the second Death Star is ''fully armed and operational''. |
| 48 | * {{Retcon}}: ''Legends'' materials originally gave the second Death Star's diameter at 160km, before this was retconned to ''900km''. The new Canon sources have firmly set the diameter at 200km. |
| 49 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once the Endor Shield array is destroyed and the Emperor is killed, Imperial crewmen, guards, stormtroopers, officers, and pilots begin to flee the doomed Death Star. |
| 50 | * SerialEscalation: Although the Death Star was not complete, it was bigger and far more powerful than the original Death Star. |
| 51 | * TaughtByExperience: No easily overlooked and exploitable exhaust ports this time. Had it not been for the Ewoks, the Rebellion would've been unable to get in. |
| 52 | * WaveMotionGun: The Death Star II is armed with a cannon just as powerful as the first planet-destroyer, except this one only needs a few minutes to charge up and fire, though this could be from not charging to full power, as they are only shooting at ships. At full power, the superlaser would probably not just destroy any rebel ship, but punch straight through, keep on going, and possibly take out one of their own Star Destroyers behind them. |

| 64 | ->''"We shall double our efforts."'' |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Jerjerrod was the commanding officer of the second Death Star and a member of the Imperial Navy's Joint Chiefs. An architect and logistics officer, he was responsible for overseeing the construction of the second Death Star. |
| 67 | ---- |
| 68 | * ADayInTheLimelight: His ''Certain Point of View'' story, ''Any Work Worth Doing'', focuses on him and doubling his men's construction efforts of the Death Star II. |
| 69 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In the film, he's merely one of Vader's flunkies, not necessarily evil, but more concerned about doing his job and keeping his head. In the novelization, he's a sociopathic, self-important, arrogant, petty, sadistic bully who relishes the prospect of killing the Rebels. Whereas deleted scenes from the film have him hesitate when ordered to fire on Endor, in the book he shows no such qualms. |
| 70 | * AllThereInTheManual: His first name and homeworld were established in the reference guide ''Ultimate Star Wars''. |
| 71 | * BeleagueredBureaucrat: This is the most characterization he receives in the film, where he desperately tries to finish the Death Star II before the Emperor finds fault with him. |
| 72 | * BullyingADragon: Attempts this in a deleted scene, in which he smugly tells Vader that he may not enter the Emperor's Tower. However, once Vader begins to Force-choke him, Jerjerrod clarifies that it's the Emperor's command, to which the Sith Lord agrees to wait. |
| 73 | * TheCameo: He appears in a non-speaking role at a meeting of the Empire's Joint Chiefs during ''Tarkin''. |
| 74 | * CommandingCoolness: Referred to as "Commander" in the film, despite being credited as a "Moff". His actual rank, given in ''Tarkin'', is Rear Admiral, although it's possible he got promoted by the time of ''Return of the Jedi''. Him being referred to as Commander was due to him being in charge of the second Death Star. |
| 75 | * DisappointingPromotion: In ''Legends'', Jerjerrod is quite upset at becoming the commander of the second Death Star, knowing very well what exactly the job entitles him to do. Subverted in ''Canon'', as he is proud of his promotion, but is still worried about the construction process of the second Death Star. |
| 76 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In deleted scenes, the Emperor orders Jerjerrod to blow up the moon if the Rebels manage to destroy the shield generator. Jerjerrod tries to object, noting there are still several Imperial battalions on the moon, but is forced to comply when further ordered. Once the shield is deactivated, you can see that Jerjerrod is extremely hesitant to turn the station on the moon. |
| 77 | * NonPromotion: Moff to Commander of the second Death Star seems like a good one but in reality it means he's responsible for the destruction of the Rebel Alliance as well as all of the operations of the second Death Star, which would no doubt put any person under great stress. |
| 78 | * MiddleManagementMook: Moff Jerjerrod is in charge of completing Death Star II and completely beleaguered by the task, and thus forced to explain to Vader, his boss, why work has stalled. |
| 79 | * MookLieutenant: The commander of the second Death Star. He is responsible for its construction and directs it during battle. |
| 80 | * OhCrap: His reaction to learning the Emperor is personally coming to oversee the Death Star's construction progress, knowing that the Emperor does not tolerate failure or slow progress very well. |
| 81 | * PunchClockVillain: |
| 82 | ** He doesn't get any KickTheDog moments and just follows Vader and Palpatine's orders. This goes even further in the deleted scenes when Palpatine orders him to blow up Endor if the rebels manage to destroy the shield. He protests the decision since they have several forces on the moon, but reluctantly complies when ordered further. You can clearly see the regret on his face. |
| 83 | ** The new novelization for ''Return of the Jedi'', ''Beware the Power of the Dark Side'', expands on Jerjerrod's character. It reveals that he was an architect in civilian life and believed that the Death Star would merely serve as a deterrent against rebellion, never having to fire its weapon. |
| 84 | * PunctualityIsForPeasants: According to the novelization, he's a firm believer of this. |
| 85 | -->Great men never hurried (he was fond of saying); great men caused others to hurry. |
| 86 | * SoullessBedroom: At odds with the usual ostentatious nature of fellow high-ranking Imperials, Jerjerrod's quarters on the Death Star are sparse and contain only a plain bed and a drafting table to work at. |
| 87 | * VillainousBreakdown: In the 'Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' novelization, he retains much of his outward characterization in the deleted scenes, professional and concerned over the lives of his men, but near the end, when the Emperor's plan is going to hell and everything is blowing up in their faces, Jerjerrod drops whatever courteous pretense he may have had and sadistically revels in the prospect of annihilating Endor's moon and tearing down something so beautiful. |
| 88 | * VillainousVirtues: In the contemporary novelization of ''Return of the Jedi'', contrary to ''other'' qualities described here, a couple pages have Jerjerrod quietly brood that he'd been a patient, loyal, clever and hard Imperial officer, and now it's all coming down like this; it becomes clear that ''temperance'' is not reliable here as he orders the Death Star II to fire on Endor as "gratuitously, meanly" making a last destructive act. |

| 105 | |
| 106 | An admiral and member of the Empire's Joint Chiefs of the military, Motti commanded the Star Destroyer ''Steel Talon''. An ally of Grand Moff Tarkin, Motti was a technocrat from Seswenna who believed in using advanced military technology to dominate the galaxy. He demonstrated overwhelming pride in the first Death Star, on which he served as Head of Naval Operations. |
| 107 | ---- |
| 108 | * AdaptationalDumbass: In ''Legends'', Motti explicitly smarted up after being Force choked by Vader, realizing that both Vader and power of the Force were more dangerous than he had thought, and resolved to be more civil towards them in the future. In canon, not only he doesn't, but he also even goes further and writes a pompous incident report accusing Vader of trying to proselytize the staff, something that could have perfectly resulted in his death the next time he encountered Vader without Tarkin around. |
| 109 | * AgentScully: He doesn't believe in the power of the Force, even though he is clearly old enough to remember the Jedi Order. This ties into his belief that technological marvels such as the Death Star were the main source of power in the Empire, not an outdated mystical order. |
| 110 | * DoNotTauntCthulhu: Makes fun of a seven-foot-tall nightmare of a man who can strangle people with his mind, and gets just that inflicted upon him. |
| 111 | * DiggingYourselfDeeper: With absolutely no self-awareness, he writes up a long tirade in which he further criticises Vader for force-choking him and demands an apology. |
| 112 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: Schemes with Tarkin to use the Death Star to stage a coup against Palpatine. |
| 113 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His FlatEarthAtheist tendencies are the result of this. In the original backstory of the first film, the Clone Wars were at least forty years before the events of ''Star Wars'' and the Jedi were less common and more secretive. Additionally, the powers granted by the Force were more subtle without outward displays of power like Vader's Force choke being very rare, to the point where even people who knew the Jedi wouldn't necessarily believe the Force was real. After the release of the prequels, in whose new timeline Motti was actually alive to witness highly visible knights using flashy space magic all around the galaxy, he comes across more as a staunch skeptic, unconvinced that the source of the Jedi's individual powers, not matter how great those could be, might some day allow for something as decisive as destroying a planet. |
| 114 | * EvilBrit: {{Averted|Trope}} -- he's one of only a few named Imperial officers (except Thrawn, who's [[TokenNonhuman not human]]) yet seen in the movies and cartoons not to have a British accent. |
| 115 | * FlatEarthAtheist: He [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu mocks Darth Vader]] specifically for his "sad devotion to that ancient religion [the Jedi Order]", and calls the Force "sorcerer's ways", even although someone Motti's age should be well aware of the big role of Jedi knights, and presumably their superhuman feats, during the Clone Wars. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Vader decides to punish him for this]]. |
| 116 | * HateSink: He is introduced dismissing [[OnlySaneMan General Tagge's]] concerns about the threat of [[LaResistance the Rebel Alliance]] despite a major victory, declaring the Death Star the "ultimate power in the universe". When chastised by [[TheDragon Darth Vader]] for his arrogance, Motti proceeds [[TooDumbToLive to insult Vader and his adherence to the Force]], prompting Vader to strangle him from across the room with only [[BigBad Grand Moff Tarkin]] stopping him from killing Motti. Unbowed, Motti spends the rest of the film willingly complying with Tarkin's orders to commit genocide and his pronouncements are proven wrong when [[TheHero Luke Skywalker]] drops a proton torpedo into the Death Star's reactor, killing all onboard the Death Star including Motti. A figure portrayed as TriggerHappy and pompous by his actor and subsequent material, Admiral Motti stands as a reminder to those who doubt the power of the Force. |
| 117 | * HollywoodAtheist: Admiral Motti is the RecycledINSPACE equivalent of this, as far as expressed contempt for religion goes. He even [[TooDumbToLive openly ridicules Vader's belief in the Force, and gets (albeit temporarily) Force-choked for it]]. And this is particularly JustForFun/{{egregious}} because not even twenty years ago in the ''Star Wars'' canon timeline, thousands of Jedi served the Republic faithfully, and he would have definitely been alive to see it. |
| 118 | -->'''Darth Vader:''' [[LampshadeHanging I find your lack of faith disturbing.]] |
| 119 | * JerkassHasAPoint: The force ''doesn't'' help Vader locate the rebel base, nor retrieve the stolen plans. |
| 120 | * KarmicDeath: Like Tarkin, he had full confidence in the Death Star and dismissed the possibility of an attack posing any threat. He was standing on the overbridge with Tarkin when it was destroyed. |
| 121 | * NumberTwo: Serves as Tarkin's immediate subordinate in Death Star operations. For instance, Motti reports directly to Tarkin that the station is fully operational and then directly accepts the order to set course for Alderaan. |
| 122 | * RetroactiveIdiotBall: Insulting Vader and denying the existence of the Force was never the smartest move on his part, but it became increasingly baffling when more installments revealed how powerful the Force could be and how important Vader was within the Empire, with the next film showing Force-users performing incredible telekinetic feats and Vader casually crushing an admiral's windpipe with no consequences. Some expanded-universe material has patched this by suggesting that Vader wasn't ''so'' important at the time that he could get away with executing someone like Motti on the spot. |
| 123 | * SmugSnake: He clearly took the whole "be assertive at work, the higher ups like that" ''way'' too seriously. |
| 124 | ** In ''Tarkin'', he is mentioned to have an air of perpetual sarcasm. Special mention goes to this guy for snidely insulting the power of the Force in comparison to the Death Star's technological firepower. He gets strangled for his trouble. |
| 125 | ** Admiral Motti's ''"any attack made by the Rebels would be a useless gesture"'' remark comes across as fairly presumptuous in any context, but especially in light of what happened near the end of the movie. |
| 126 | *** ''Especially'' in light of the rebels' [[Film/{{Rogue One}} recent heavy victory just days ago.]] |
| 127 | * SomeOfMyBestFriendsAreX: In his incident report, he writes that he's not religiously prejudiced for criticising Vader's "ancient religion" because he commands troops of all different religious backgrounds. |
| 128 | * TooDumbToLive: Openly mocking and insulting Darth Vader results in him being Force-choked. Vader likely would have killed him for his idiocy had Tarkin not intervened. |
| 129 | * WeCanRuleTogether: Suggests to Tarkin that with the power of the Death Star, they were the ones truly in control of the Empire and could utilize the station to get rid of the Emperor. He offers to serve as Tarkin's second, and while the Grand Moff does not agree to the plan, neither does he report or arrest Motti. |

| 173 | An ambitious and talented officer who is among the first generation of new young officers entering the Imperial navy. After serving aboard Grand Moff Tarkin's Star Destroyer ''Executrix'', Sloane was assigned as the temporary captain of the ''Ultimatium'' while the regular captain served on a committee and given the task of assisting Count Denetrius Vidian on a mission to Gorse. Following the events at Gorse, Sloane rose through the ranks of the Empire, becoming an Admiral in command of the ''Vigilance''. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor, she attends a gathering of Imperials on Akiva to determine the future of the Empire, which was in fact a test set up by Gallius Rax to determine her worthiness. Passing his test, Sloane is promoted to Grand Admiral and becomes the public face of the Empire while Rax gives her directives that make her increasingly uncomfortable and suspicious of his motives and tactics. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * AcademicAthlete: At Prefsbelt Fleet Camp, she held a high class rank and was also a skilled (though never champion) boxer. |
| 176 | * AntiVillain: Sloane's always presented as the lesser evil in most of her appearances, in some cases just ALighterShadeOfBlack, in others downright heroic. She's one of the few high level officers who actually believes in the "greater good" philosophy of the Empire and while she isn't against some of the harsher treatments the Empire enacts, she draws the line at hurting civilians and innocents, at least when doing so has no benefit (she's perfectly willing to order her people to chase down survivors of Alderaan). |
| 177 | * ArchEnemy: Becomes one to Kanan Jarrus, going so far as to call him "My Hobby" during her appearance in ''[[Comicbook/StarWarsKanan Kanan]]''. |
| 178 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. She gets banged up a couple times in fights. |
| 179 | * BenevolentBoss: Shows a lot of concern for any competent officer under her command, forming a friendship with her longtime shuttle pilot Morna Kee and being very protective of her attaché Adea Rite. |
| 180 | * BlackBossLady: She's a dark-skinned woman who holds a rather prestigious rank in the Empire. |
| 181 | * BoxingBattler: She participated in Naval Corps Boxing, or NCB, as a cadet at Prefsbelt Fleet Camp, and was good at it despite never winning a championship. After becoming an officer, she maintained her skills in that area. |
| 182 | * BrokenPedestal: Towards her commander, Gallius Rax, post-Endor. The events of the ''Aftermath'' trilogy see Sloane go from loyal subordinate to Rax to [[spoiler:planning to kill him in the wake of the events on Chandrila and eventually succeeding during the Battle of Jakku]]. |
| 183 | * TheCameo: Appears in the short story "Orientation" as an officer cadet aboard a training cruiser. |
| 184 | * ConsummateProfessional: While Sloane is ambitious and wants to advance in the Imperial military, her primary concern is carrying out the Empire's will and enforcing its laws while acting composed and efficient. Thus, she gets rather frustrated by Count Vidian's ruthless and seemingly random actions, Chamas' constant gossiping, Deltic's obvious insanity, and her repeated interactions with Kanan, who enjoys trolling her immensely. |
| 185 | * DarkActionGirl: Despite her prestigious role as de facto leader of the Empire post-Endor, she isn't above getting in a scrap. See FourStarBadass. |

Later he even offers to help her become the youngest Admiral in the fleet, [[spoiler:which tips Sloane off on the fact that he's lying to her since the idea of her being a Admiral under thirty is ridiculous]]. |
| 191 | ** At the end of ''Aftermath'', Sloane is revealed to be reporting to Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax, who appoints her as Grand Admiral and issues orders to the Empire with her as his mouthpiece. |
| 192 | * EnemyMine: At the end of ''Life Debt'', Sloane teams up with [[spoiler:Bentin Wexley to reach Jakku and get revenge on Rax. She later extends this alliance to Norra Wexley to reach the Observatory and stop Rax from destroying Jakku]]. |
| 193 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 194 | ** She may be ruthless and ambitious, but she's taken aback by Vidian's plan to destroy Cynda to mine the thorilide easier, although this will destabilize Gorse and put the population at risk. She's willing to go through with it if it does benefit the Empire, [[spoiler:and when she discovers that Vidian altered the tests to show the thorilide wouldn't be destroyed she calls off the destruction of the moon and orders Vidian arrested]]. She's also creeped out by Lieutenant Deltic, who's ''far'' too eager at the prospect of blowing up Cynda. |
| 195 | ** Sloane also finds herself becoming increasingly disgusted with Rax, who has her taking out Imperial officers who might oppose his plans to reorganize the Empire. She approves eliminating deserters or officers who make blatant power grabs, but is angered that Rax often takes out the crews of those officers who're blameless. When he arranges, in Sloane's name, for a Star Destroyer to be destroyed by the New Republic just to eliminate its captain for once attending the same academy as a potential rival, Sloane is infuriated and begins to set up potential plots against him. [[spoiler:She finally breaks with him completely after she realizes he allowed the prisoners from Kashyyyk to be rescued so their brainwashing could kick in and slaughter the New Republic leadership. Sloane finds no honor in his tactics and resolves to eliminate him before he can corrupt what remains of the Empire further]]. |
| 196 | ** Brendol Hux's [[AbusiveParent treatment]] of his young son Armitage also disgusts her and she makes a deal with the boy to protect him from his father. |
| 197 | * {{Expy}}: Currently shaping up to be one of Gilad Pellaeon, as she's a NobleDemon career naval officer who ordered the Imperial Navy's retreat from Endor and following a conference with several other Imperial warlords assumed overall command of Imperial forces in the wake of Palpatine's death. |
| 198 | * FourStarBadass: |
| 199 | ** Sloane gets hands-on with the violence a few times in ''Aftermath''. First, when she notices Jas watching the satrap's palace, Sloane immediately goes to the shuttle's weapons station and opens fire on her instead of ordering a stormtrooper to do it. Later, she personally leads a group of stormtroopers to [[spoiler:capture Norra, Jas, Sinjir, and Temmin in the sewers, and is the one who finishes off Mr. Bones when it tries to free them]]. Lastly, she effortlessly [[spoiler:kicks Pandion's ass, gutshots him with a blaster, and leaves him for dead in a exploding shuttle while she commandeers his Star Destroyer]]. |
| 200 | ** Sloane beats up and almost kills Norra Wexley in a fight in ''Life Debt''. |
| 201 | ** In the climax of ''Empire's End'' she has a brutal fistfight with [[spoiler:Gallius Rax]] and takes her share of lumps. |
| 202 | * TheHeavy: In the ''Aftermath'' trilogy, she serves as the most visible threat to the New Republic, to the point that they believe her to be the BigBad, while Rax hides in the shadows. |
| 203 | * JustFollowingOrders: She does not care what the Empire has done to its enemies, and simply keeps carrying out what she believes are it's orders no matter what happens. There are certain actions she won't take, but she never seems to show remorse for any of the more questionable actions she ''does'' undertake. |
| 204 | * KickTheDog: When the Imperials are evacuating Akiva, she refuses to allow the governor and his guards to come with them, even though there's room aboard the shuttle ''and'' the locals will likely kill them in revenge for the governor's pro-Imperial policies, simply because he's [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer of any use]] to Empire now that Akiva is falling to the Rebels. |
| 205 | * KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler:She personally kills Rax, and takes over the fleet to lead it into the Unknown Regions.]] |
| 206 | * KnightTemplar: She fully believes in the Empire and its mission to bring order to the galaxy. Even after the Emperor's death, she's determined to see the Empire restored and continue its mission. |
| 207 | * KnowWhenToFoldThem: As the ranking admiral at Endor following Piett's death, Sloane recognized the course of the battle as communications were lost with the Endor garrison and the Death Star. She recalled TIE Fighters and ordered a retreat to Annaj. |
| 208 | * LesbianJock: Bisexual, actually, but she otherwise fits. As a cadet, she competed in boxing, and still trains in the sport years later. |
| 209 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Possibly. Despite being one of the leaders of the Imperial Remnant, and the same one that includes Brendol Hux, she is conspicuously absent from [[spoiler:the Shadow Council meeting we see in ''The Mandalorian'', a meeting that Hux himself is a part of.]] |
| 210 | * OnlySaneWoman: Of the Imperials who gather on Akiva, Sloane is the only one who really tries to stay on task with finding a way to hold the Empire together while the others are more concerned with power plays, protecting their wealth, or offering non-solutions to the problems they face. |
| 211 | * PetTheDog: After capturing Wedge, she provides him medical treatment and apologizes for shooting him. Sloane is also disturbed by Tashu torturing Wedge. When she encounters him again on [[spoiler:Chandrila during the peace talks]], she's sad to see that his injuries continue to plague him. |
| 212 | * PragmaticVillainy: |
| 213 | ** She has no problem blowing up a damaged mining transport (along with its crew) since getting a replacement vessel is quicker than the repair time. But she sees no point in and is disgusted by Vidian's plan to destroy Cynda, [[spoiler:especially once his lies regarding the thorilide surviving are revealed. Sloane is angry that he would sacrifice thousands of lives for his own personal gain and the detriment of the Empire (although she's more pissed that he was planning to pin the blame for everything on her)]]. |
| 214 | ** In ''Aftermath'', she's infuriated when she sees stormtroopers shooting into a crowd of angry civilians and forces them to stop, knowing that such violence will only further weaken the Empire's image and encourage more rioters. |
| 215 | * PredecessorVillain: [[spoiler: By the time of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', as she helped found the First Order.]] |
| 216 | * PrimAndProperBun: Wears her hair in this style, which is fitting for a no-nonsense, pragmatic, and highly official Imperial officer. |
| 217 | * PuppetQueen: After the events of ''Aftermath'' she becomes the "official" leader of the Empire, though Rax is the one pulling her strings. She's fully aware of this, and spends ''Life Debt'' and ''Empire's End'' trying to wrest control back from Rax. [[spoiler:Ultimately she succeeds and becomes leader of the Imperial remnant that would later become the First Order.]] |
| 218 | * RankUp: |
| 219 | ** At the end of ''A New Dawn'', her temporary captaincy of ''Ultimatum'' is made permanent as a reward for her actions throughout the novel. |
| 220 | ** By the Battle of Endor, she's an Admiral. Gallius Rax promotes her to Grand Admiral after the Battle of Akiva. |
| 221 | * SurroundedByIdiots: In ''Aftermath'', the crew of the ''Vigilance'' aren't exactly the brightest in the Imperial navy, leaving Sloane very frustrated with their poor performance and panicking at non-threats. |
| 222 | * SympatheticPOV: Her POV contrasts nicely with Vidian's, showing two different kinds of Imperial: Sloane, who is a true believer in the Empire and avoids kicking the dog (most of the time, anyway), and Vidian, who uses the Empire to advance his own interests and KickTheDog all the time. This continues in ''Aftermath'', where she's shown to give medical treatment to captured Rebels and despises several other Imperials who are far worse than her. |
| 223 | * TranquilFury: Nonchalantly shoots her PoliticalOfficer when he smugly comments about how the Rebels are running away at the Battle of Endor. They're actually getting away from the Death Star, which is about to explode. |
| 224 | * UncertainDoom: She helps found the First Order, but by the time of ''The Force Awakens'', Snoke is indisputably in charge and Sloane is utterly nowhere to be seen. The novelisation of ''The Last Jedi'' makes it clear Sloane was alive when Snoke made his grab for power. |
| 225 | * UnwittingPawn: Notices that Gallius Rax is trying to mold her into one by leaving key details of his plans out. In turn, she plans to get rid of him and retake the Empire from his grip. |
| 226 | * VillainousRescue: |
| 227 | ** When she [[spoiler:orders the Stormtroopers to arrest Vidian and fires on his ship, this allows Kanan, Hera, and Zaluna the opportunity to escape from him and the ship, and also saves Gorse from destruction]]. |
| 228 | ** Turns out as a child, she ran away from home and nearly got herself in danger due to some thugs, but was saved by Imperial Stormtroopers. Thanks to this, she came to be a staunch believer in the Empire. |
| 229 | * VillainousValor: Has this in spades, but it really shows in ''Empire's End''. On the run from both the New Republic and Rax's forces with no one to help her but a formerly brainwashed rebel agent who despises her, Sloane survives on Jakku and comes close to uncovering Rax's plan and stopping him. [[spoiler:Later, while badly wounded, she fights Rax to the death and stays behind in the Observatory while letting Norra escape, risking her life to prevent the destruction of Jakku]]. |
| 230 | * WorthyOpponent: She has a lot of respect for Wedge Antilles. He, however, hates her and blames her for his injuries that kept him out of action for months. |
| 231 | * YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: She's a very influential Imperial leader who won some respect and appreciation from various Rebellion/New Republic figures, but that doesn't change the fact that she will not make any attempts to peacefully reintegrate the Empire into a new system which can clearly work, and instead focuses on trying to preserve a culture and government she knows is capable of irrational mass murder. |

| 283 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsThrawn Thrawn]]'' | ''Literature/ThrawnAlliances'' | ''Literature/ThrawnTreason'' |
| 284 | |
| 285 | The captain of the ''Chimaera'', having served under Thrawn ever since he was ranked as Commodore. Faro quickly becomes Thrawn's protégé and right-hand woman, as he recognizes her skills and quick ability to learn from his own tactics. |
| 286 | ---- |
| 287 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:Since she was re-assigned to the Eleventh Fleet on Thrawn's recommendation and sent to Coruscant for training, it is unknown whether she had the chance to do so since ''Rebels'' ends with the ''Chimaera'', the Seventh Fleet, and the Lothal blockade being snatched and hyperspace-jumped away by purrgils. It is also unknown if she would've had the same chances of surviving as Thrawn and Ezra did]]. Timothy Zahn refuses to clarify her status after the events of ''Rebels'', though has also stated that he has plans for her. |
| 288 | * AscendedExtra: Initially she only has a relatively minor role in ''Thrawn'', but the sequels ''Thrawn: Alliances'' and ''Thrawn: Treason'' expand her role by making her a major point-of-view character, and flesh out her relationship with Thrawn as protégée and mentor respectively. |
| 289 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Enough time spent around Thrawn, particularly as his protégé, will result in at least some of this, and Faro is no exception. [[spoiler: During the battle against Savit, Faro proves that she is capable of making the same deductions about their enemy as Thrawn himself, even with much less information, thus proving that Thrawn’s teachings have very much taken hold in her.]] |
| 290 | * DeadpanSnarker: She makes a lot of aside comments. |
| 291 | * DecompositeCharacter: For the Disney ''Star Wars'' continuity, both she and Eli Vanto take Gilad Pellaeon's role in the ''Legends'' continuity as Thrawn's protégé, though it is Faro who takes Pellaeon's role as the captain of Thrawn's flagship, the ''Chimaera''. |
| 292 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: She shares this role with Eli Vanto in ''Thrawn: Treason'', where she not only becomes a major point-of-view character, but also her growth as a military officer and her relationship with Thrawn as protégée and mentor respectively get much focus and development. |
| 293 | * DistaffCounterpart: To Gilad Pellaeon from ''Legends'', as the captain of Thrawn's flagship ''Chimaera'' who becomes Thrawn's protégé and second-in-command. |
| 294 | * TheDragon: She was Thrawn's first officer, meaning she was literally ranked as his second-in-command. Whenever Thrawn is absent or cannot directly command a battle, it is her duty to carry out his plans. |
| 295 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: When she is introduced as Thrawn's first officer on the ''Chimaera'' in ''Thrawn'', she is established as an honest officer who borders on insubordination and is not afraid to openly question her superiors, including Thrawn. Her role as an HonestAdvisor is appreciated by Thrawn, who recognizes her capabilities and decides to make her his protégée. |
| 296 | * HonestAdvisor: In addition to being Thrawn's first officer, she also serves as an advisor to question and point out the apparent flaws in Thrawn's plans, which is part of the reasons Thrawn values her a lot. |
| 297 | * PassedOverPromotion: At the start of ''Thrawn: Alliances'', she has been promoted to commodore and is promised to be given Task Force 231 to command, but when the events of ''Thrawn: Treason'' come around, she has still yet to receive any follow-up to command Task Force 231. It is revealed that Thrawn blocks her path to the task force [[spoiler:because he is trying to get her command of an entire fleet, not just a mere task force. Eventually Thrawn's request is approved and Faro is re-assigned to command the Eleventh Fleet.]] |
| 298 | * RankUp: She is introduced as a commander when Thrawn is assigned to command the ''Chimaera''. Later she is promoted to commodore shortly after the Battle of Atollon and promised her own task force to command. At the end of ''Thrawn: Treason'', [[spoiler:she is re-assigned to command the Eleventh Fleet, instead of a mere task force, on Thrawn's recommendation.]] |
| 299 | * TookALevelInBadass: After several years of serving as Thrawn's first officer, Faro has gained the skills to not only outthink her enemies, but even anticipate some of Thrawn's needs and requests. |
| 300 | * UndyingLoyalty: Like most of Thrawn's crew, she was wary of him at first before becoming utterly loyal with complete faith in his abilities. Faro even [[spoiler:files anonymous reports of Thrawn's activities, like interacting with the Chiss, to Grand Moff Tarkin's office, with the intention of stating they were sent or ordered by Thrawn himself, knowing that him failing to do so due to his political blindness could have gotten him charged with treason]]. |
| 301 | * TheWatson: Takes over this role to Thrawn from Eli in ''Thrawn: Alliances'' [[spoiler:after Eli joins the Chiss Ascendancy]], asking questions to further understand Thrawn's thinking. |
| 302 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Presumably, she's there in the background of ''Rebels'', even if her presence isn't explicitly stated onscreen. [[spoiler:At the end of ''Thrawn: Treason'', Faro is scheduled to depart via shuttle from the ''Chimaera'' upon its arrival at Lothal to assume command of the Eleventh Fleet, but it is unclear if she had the opportunity to do so before the Purrgils attacked]]. |

| 309 | !!!'''Homeworld:''' Lysatra |
| 310 | |
| 311 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''Literature/{{Thrawn}}'' | ''Literature/ThrawnTreason'' |
| 312 | |
| 313 | A young man from Lysatra, a world that had established contact with the Chiss in the past for trade. When his class from the Imperial Academy on Myomar took a briefing aboard the ''Strikefast'', the crew had an encounter with an exiled Chiss named Mitth'raw'nuruodo the same day. Due to Eli's connection through Lystran-Chiss relations, he became Thrawn's most trusted aide. As the Chiss officer made his ascension through Imperial ranks, he began to school his aide in the arts of combat and leadership, as well as the secrets of obtaining victory. |
| 314 | ---- |
| 315 | * AlmightyJanitor: Was in this position for a long time as Thrawn's personal aide, being held at the rank of Ensign for many years due to the spitefulness of high level officials in the Imperial hierarchy, while developing experience, leadership skills, and tactical knowledge that could rival many fleet admirals. Eventually he gets promoted to a rank that reflects his accomplishments. |
| 316 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: The ''Thrawn'' comic depicts him as having tan skin, darker than that of Deenlark or Parck. |
| 317 | * AmbiguousSituation: The epilogue of ''Thrawn'' takes place at an unknown time after the events of the book, so it is unknown when [[spoiler:he left to join the Chiss Ascendancy.]] |
| 318 | * AudienceSurrogate: For the events of ''Thrawn''. Similar to Pellaeon in ''Legends'', he is there as TheWatson to Thrawn's Sherlock, only knowing as much as we do and asking questions to further understand Thrawn's thinking. |
| 319 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Not to the same degree as Thrawn, but close enough that most folks who don't know Thrawn well enough can't easily spot the differences. It turns out Thrawn himself cultivated this ability in Eli after learning just how adept he was at spotting logistical patterns. |
| 320 | * CommonalityConnection: His people having been trade partners with the Chiss in the past, as well as preservation of their ''lingua franca'' into the present despite having cut ties with each other gains Thrawn's attention when the two first meet. |
| 321 | * TheCynic: He is perfectly aware that being an Outer Rim hick or an alien from the Unknown Regions is the worst thing in the galaxy to be when you want to work for the Empire in a position of leadership. Knowing this allows him to guide Thrawn away from any actual career-killing incidents. |
| 322 | * DecompositeCharacter: For the Disney ''Star Wars'' continuity, both he and Karyn Faro take Gilad Pellaeon's role in the ''Legends'' continuity as Thrawn's protégé, though Pellaeon's role as the captain of Thrawn's flagship, the ''Chimaera'', is given to Faro instead. |
| 323 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: He serves as the main point-of-view character in ''Thrawn'', where his own growth as a military officer and his relationship with Thrawn, the protagonist also get a lot of focus and development. He is absent in ''Thrawn: Alliances'' [[spoiler:due to him joining the Chiss Ascendancy]], but he returns in ''Thrawn: Treason'', with his role [[spoiler:as a human officer in the Chiss military]] gets elaborated, and he shares the role of deuteragonist with Karyn Faro. |
| 324 | * {{Expy}}: He's based on Gilad Pellaeon, as a fellow naval officer who serves as Thrawn's right-hand man while being subtly groomed for command, with Zahn admitting he couldn't use Pellaeon himself for the role because for most of the time frame covered by the novel Pellaeon far outranked Thrawn and that would have forced a far different character dynamic between the two. As a young man who tutors Thrawn in Basic while becoming possibly his best human friend, Eli also draws inspiration from Jorj Car'das. |
| 325 | * HonestAdvisor: One reason Thrawn values him so much. Without breaking chain of command, Eli has his moments of being blunt with shades of deadpan snark with Thrawn. |
| 326 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: In the beginning he wants nothing more than to return to his fully plotted path to a perfectly mediocre position on a line ship as a supply officer. It takes a long time for him to fully embrace the path that Thrawn steers him onto. |
| 327 | * NaiveNewcomer: Having recently graduated and become an ensign (which is one of the junior ranks in the navy), he does let his inexperience, curiosity, and irritation overrule his professionalism a bit. |
| 328 | * PassedOverPromotion: Despite being a capable officer in his own right, he has stuck with being an ensign for many years due to his promotions being actively blocked by the anti-alien Moff Ghadi, who is not pleased with Eli for turning down his offer for promotion to defend Thrawn. It takes Ghadi being removed from power for Eli to get promoted to lieutenent commander shortly afterwards. |
| 329 | * PutOnABus: The reason why he doesn't show up in ''Rebels'' and ''Thrawn: Alliances'' is because [[spoiler:he left to join the Chiss Ascendancy in the Unknown Regions.]] Though he [[TheBusCameBack returns]] in ''Thrawn: Treason''. |
| 330 | * RankUp: Starts ''Thrawn'' as a cadet, then graduates and becomes an ensign (the lowest rank in the Imperial Navy), which his career stalls out at for years due to pissing off powerful Imperial officials who wanted to get rid of Thrawn. After those officials are removed from power, he is promoted several ranks from ensign to lieutenant commander, and then a commander by the time of ''Rebels'' Season 3. |
| 331 | * TheResenter: He was this toward Thrawn at first. Thrawn's insistence on Eli being his aide killed any chance of Eli persuing his chosen career path and stuck him with LimitedAdvancementOpportunities and then his career got blackballed by a racist politician because Eli defied him for Thrawn's sake. Meanwhile, Thrawn's career took off like a rocket ship and he gained promotions left and right. This trope gradually faded because Eli came to appreciate how Thrawn genuinely deserved to be fast tracked to command and Eli getting bumped up to a rank he deserved certainly didn't hurt. |
| 332 | * ShipTease: With the Chiss navigator Vah'nya. They have become close during Eli's time in serving on the ''Steadfast'' and both seem interested in each other, but by the end of ''Thrawn: Treason'' neither has acted upon it yet. |
| 333 | * SouthernFriedGenius: The audiobook gives Eli a pronounced drawl to denote his Wild Space roots. Those from the Core Worlds look down their nose at what they consider a deep-space hick when in reality Eli is intelligent and capable in his own right. Enough that Thrawn takes him under his wing. |
| 334 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Out of the three main characters in ''Thrawn'', he's the nicest one (or as nice as an Imperial officer that wants to ascend the ranks can be) and has no sinister ulterior motives, or he's at least just a man simply serving the Imperial military because he believes it's a force of good, similar to Ciena and Yularen. When he signed up, all he wanted was to organize logistics from a base somewhere. |
| 335 | * VillainousFriendship: It was a rocky start on his side with Thrawn, but the Grand Admiral implies in his journal entry he leaves for Eli that yes, he does see his former aide as his friend, and presumably, Eli would admit the same. Eli also gets along fairly well with Pryce and Yularen, [[spoiler:although his opinion of Pryce sours after her actions on Batonn resulted in massive civilian and Imperial casualties]]. |

| 350 | |
| 351 | An Imperial TIE Interceptor pilot, based around the Skystrike Flight Academy. He was subsequently transferred the ''Chimaera'' and given command of the experimental TIE Defender squadron. |
| 352 | ---- |
| 353 | * AcePilot: A requirement to be given command of a TIE Interceptor Squadron, and he goes on to prove it in his introductory episode by delivering a brutal beatdown to a Rebel fighter squadron and transport. This skill is why Thrawn chose him for the TIE Defender project. |
| 354 | * AscendedExtra: As the test pilot for the TIE Defender, he starts to appear more in Season 4 as the plot starts to focus more on stopping Thrawn's production of the TIE Defenders on Lothal and waging war on Lothal. |
| 355 | * BossInMookClothing: As the first TIE Defender pilot. He destroys most of Gold Squadron in a CurbStompBattle, forcing Ezra and Vander to come up with a way to get him off their back. The duo lead him into the heat of a baby star, but even then, he still manages to fly away (though he is forced out of the fight). |
| 356 | * TheCaptain: Held the rank of Captain. |
| 357 | * DisasterDominoes: [[spoiler:Hera tricks him into a situation where his fighter's shields are taken offline, whereupon she causes this by shooting two of his Defender's wings off, causing him to crash into and take out a cruiser, which promptly shears off the bridge superstructure of a Star Destroyer.]] |
| 358 | * DrillSergeantNasty: He is rather hard on the cadets he is instructing, as befitting an instructor at the Empire's equivalent of Top Gun. |
| 359 | * EliteMooks: Him and the rest of his Squadron serve as this for Governor Pryce and Grand Admiral Thrawn. |
| 360 | * {{Expy}}: Has a mustache and flies a TIE Interceptor decked out in red stripes, much like Colonel Soontir Fel. |
| 361 | * {{Hypocrite}}: In his first appearance, he berates Wedge and a disguised Sabine for disobeying orders, telling them that pilots must obey orders ''without question''. He dies when he ignores Thrawn's orders in the field. |
| 362 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 363 | ** Vult, for vulture. |
| 364 | ** His last name is one letter away from Skerrit, as in actor Tom Skerrit, who played in ''Film/TopGun''. |
| 365 | * MidSeasonUpgrade: He trades his TIE Interceptor in for a TIE Defender. |
| 366 | * MookLieutenant: While a formidable pilot he is only the commanding officer of a TIE Interceptor Squadron and stands significantly lower in the chain of command compared to the likes of Pyrce, Thrawn, or even Kallus. |
| 367 | * ShoutOut: His appearance and name is one to ''Film/TopGun'' actor Tom Skerrit. And maybe one of the pilots from the fanmade ''WebAnimation/TIEFighter'' animation. |
| 368 | * UnfriendlyFire: [[spoiler:While dogfighting the X-Wings over Lothal, he tails Hera and refuses to fall back when Thrawn has the ''Chimaera'' fire at Hera, as the Grand Admiral is well aware that Skerris is playing into Hera's trap and may get other Imperials killed. Of course, Thrawn is right, and although Skerris isn't ''killed'' by the friendly fire, his shields are taken down, allowing Hera to shoot off two of his Defender's wings and send him careening into an Imperial cruiser.]] |
| 369 | * VillainHasAPoint: |
| 370 | ** He and Commandant Relik point out to Wedge and "Ria" that hesitating in combat because you're feeling particularly merciful won't be reciprocated by the enemy, as standard in rules of engagement. |
| 371 | ** He also tells Wedge and Ria that that the rebels will use any ships and any means necessary to undermine their authority, and insubordination will get them killed. This point is proven rather prudent in "Zero Hour", [[spoiler:when Admiral Konstantine disobeys Grand Admiral Thrawn's orders to stay put and attempts to capture Commander Sato, only for Sato to ram ''Phoenix Home'' into the Interdictor, and Thrawn makes note of that]]. |
| 372 | ** And as shown in the ColdOpening, while shooting down the Rebel transport is seen as ruthless even when he is pleading for mercy and claiming to be unarmed, often times in real life scenarios, they could easily be lying, and said transport was from the Rebel military, so the Imperials had all the right to fire on them. |

There's no indication that he has some sort of honor code or standards he obligates himself to and seems to have no problem following Thrawn's orders (and seems to relish in it), whereas in ''Legends'', he was trying to keep his people safe and ended up [[spoiler:killing Thrawn]] when he found out the Empire wasn't going to keep their promise to not hurt his people. [[spoiler:He's killed while trying to kill the rebels under Thrawn's orders, but we're not given a chance to see him question Thrawn at any time.]] |
| 391 | * AdaptationalWimp: In ''Legends,'' he was a master of the StealthHiBye using his own skills, but here he just uses a cloaking projector. |
| 392 | * BadassNormal: He can hold his own in a fist fight against Ezra, however briefly, but he can easily take on a Jedi Knight and his electrostaff can parry a lightsaber. |
| 393 | * CanonImmigrant: He's originally from ''Legends'', and his presence may have some serious implications on the plot if it follows what originally happened to Thrawn in ''Legends''... [[spoiler:Except it didn't.]] |
| 394 | * CombatPragmatist: He knows he can't take on Zeb alone, much less Zeb and Sabine together, so he uses a cloaking device to make himself invisible and knocks Sabine's helmet off so she can't track his heat signature. Of course, that does little to affect Sabine's ability to fight him while cloaked. |
| 395 | -->'''Sabine:''' I am '''''not''''' in the mood to fight fair. |
| 396 | -->'''Rukh:''' Neither am I. |
| 397 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Zeb traps him in Lothal's shield generator as it's being activated, resulting in Rukh being electrocuted to death. The cruel part comes from the fact that he doesn't die instantly and his screams can be heard for a few seconds before eventually going silent.]] |
| 398 | * DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:He dies nearly an entire decade earlier in the canon than he did in ''Legends''.]] |
| 399 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Rukh never actually dies this way but the number of times Rukh is momentarily defeated by seemingly falling to his doom, only to save himself at the last minute is almost comical. |
| 400 | * TheDragon: Rukh serves as both Thrawn's bodyguard and enforcer. |
| 401 | * EvilCounterpart: His choice of weapon, fighting style, and even appearance to some extent resembles Zeb. [[spoiler:They fight at least twice, and Zeb is the one that winds up killing him.]] |
| 402 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He's Thrawn's personal assassin and his voice is a very deep and sinister growl. |
| 403 | * GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: Zeb traps Rukh's leg in the electrical conduits of a shield generator right as it's turning on, and the last we see is the electricity rushing towards Rukh with an expression of [[OhCrap complete and utter panic on his face.]] We don't get to see what happens to him, but considering how Zeb flinches away in disgust (and we can still hear ''Rukh screaming'' for several seconds afterwards), [[TakeOurWordForIt it cannot have been pretty.]]]] |
| 404 | * HumiliationConga: After nearly being beaten to death by Zeb, Sabine spray-paints him to look ridiculous and sends him back to the Empire on a speeder bike. |
| 405 | * ItIsDehumanizing: With the exception of Thrawn, everyone else views Rukh as a monster, referring to him as an "it". Zeb goes so far as to compare him to a baby rancor. |
| 406 | * MeaningfulName: A rook is a chess piece. Thrawn is TheChessmaster, and Rukh is his loyal bodyguard, after all. |
| 407 | * MysteriousPast: In his debut in ''Rebels'', everything about him outside of being Thrawn's loyal assassin is currently unknown. Even his role in ''Thrawn: Alliances'' reveals nothing about his origins aside from the fact that his cloaking device is Chiss technology. |
| 408 | * MythologyGag: |
| 409 | ** Thrawn uses his name as an override code for his personal sentry droids, which he's certain to trust it will work but ultimately ''fails'' at one point when [[spoiler:Kallus]] makes an attempt on his life through them, almost like how Rukh was Thrawn's personal bodyguard, who the Grand Admiral trusted with his life... |
| 410 | ** In ''Thrawn: Alliances'', he has a habit of eavesdropping on conversations while cloaked, like he did in ''Legends''. |
| 411 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: A lot of Imperial troops can't stand him, as he'll sometimes get up close and check them for scents without their consent. He also has a habit of [[HeWasRightThereAllAlong listening in on conversations while his cloaking device was active]]. |
| 412 | * NotHisSled: In ''Legends'', he's the one to [[spoiler:kill Thrawn after learning of one of the Grand Admiral's dark secrets]]. In ''Rebels'', [[spoiler:he gets killed by Zeb before the thought of betrayal could cross his mind]]. |
| 413 | * TheNoseKnows: His first scene has him easily finding the rebels by picking up the smell of a Lasat (Zeb), and his sense of smell is highlighted in nearly every other appearance. |
| 414 | * OhCrap: [[spoiler:He gets a huge one seconds before he's electrocuted to death by being caught in Lothal's planetary shield generator.]] |
| 415 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: He's noticeably smaller than adult humans, not even taller than the teenage Ezra, but he proves himself a powerful and deadly opponent nonetheless. His kicks are enough to [[spoiler:stagger Zeb]], whose at least twice as big as he is. |
| 416 | * PrimalStance: He uses his knuckles to help him run faster. |
| 417 | * RunningGag: The amount of times that Rukh gets [[DisneyVillainDeath thrown off a cliff]] but survives by [[WallCrawl grabbing onto the wall]] would make a rather unsafe drinking game. He eventually [[spoiler: gets killed when Zeb catches wise to this, and traps his leg in the wiring of a massive shield generator right as Rukh [[OhCrap realizes it's turning on]].]] |
| 418 | * RunningOnAllFours: The gorilla type thanks to his longer arms and shorter legs making it more viable. |
| 419 | * TheUnpronounceable: Downplayed in that it is from a human language, but the "kh" sound is difficult for English speakers. Even in-universe, Pryce struggles with it. |
| 420 | * WallCrawl: He's capable of doing this, which is lucky for him given the number of times he's had to stop himself from falling to his death. |

| 430 | |
| 431 | A commander in the Seventh Fleet who often reports directly to Thrawn. |
| 432 | ---- |
| 433 | * BearerOfBadNews: Most of what he has to report to the Grand Admiral is never good, such as informing him of a rebel ship that escaped the blockade of Atollon [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E19ZeroHour during an attack on the rebel base]]. Luckily for him, Thrawn is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure. |
| 434 | * NoodleIncident: Was assigned to work with Grand Moff Tarkin after the Battle of Atollon to search for escapees while Thrawn was on a mission with Vader in ''Literature/ThrawnAlliances''. No explanation has been given on what happened during this period. |
| 435 | * ReusedCharacterDesign: His character design was utilized three times for three unrelated Imperial officers, including Captain Wells, an officer under Captain Slavin. |
| 436 | * UncertainDoom: While it is likely he was aboard the ''Chimaera'' at the time of the purrgil attack, it is unknown whether he survived it. |
| 437 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Woldar is never seen or mentioned again after he informs Thrawn of the rebels breaking through the blockade of Lothal, nor is he confirmed to have been in the purrgil attack. |

| 446 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''Literature/ThrawnTreason'' |
| 447 | |
| 448 | Commander of the Star Destroyer ''Firedrake'' and the Third Fleet. Savit hails from a wealthy and influential family well known for its patronage of the arts, particularly music. |
| 449 | ---- |
| 450 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He dislikes the politicking done in the Empire, but his influential family and allies helped him get his position and Savit stopped being a solo performer and switched to composing music after hearing that Palpatine preferred operas. |
| 451 | * OverrankedSoldier: Although he does have some military skill, Savit, like many of his fellow Grand Admirals, gained his position through political influence garnered by his family's influence among Coruscant's elite through their music. |
| 452 | * UncertainDoom: At the end of ''Thrawn: Treason'', Savit is [[spoiler:on his way to Coruscant to face an official inquiry into allegations of treason. However, the two primary witnesses will become unavailable to testify - Assistant Director Ronan is forced to take refugee with the Chiss after Darth Vader becomes involved with Project Stardust, as he would be unable to hide his disdain for the Emperor from the Sith Lord, while Thrawn will vanish along with most of his fleet due to Ezra Bridger and the Purrgils. This leaves it possible for Savit to perhaps beat the inquiry]]. |
| 453 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: While he holds a healthy respect for Thrawn and supports the TIE Defender project, he believes that his fellow Grand Admiral's abilities are exaggerated. [[spoiler:Savit also discounts the skills of Commodore Faro, believing he can easily defeat her, but Thrawn's protégé not only has instructions from the Grand Admiral to aide her, but has learned much from her superior and adds her own tactics to the plan that leads to Savit's arrest]]. |
| 454 | * VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:While stealing and hijacking transports of supplies meant for the Death Star's construction would be considered treason in the eyes of the Empire, he is correct that the Death Star will be a huge waste of resources once it's destroyed, something that happens at the end of ''Film/ANewHope'']]. |
| 455 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When he realizes that Thrawn perfectly predicted every move he would make and left instructions with Commodore Faro on how to counter them while Thrawn confronted him on the bridge of the ''Firedrake'', Savit loses all of his composure and attempts to shoot Thrawn, failing only thanks to the intervention of Ronan and Agent Dayga.]] |
| 456 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He is extremely loyal to the Empire and will do anything to ensure it remains secure from all threats. [[spoiler:He regards the Death Star as one of those threats, being a huge resource sink that he is convinced will be destroyed eventually and render all the work put into it worthless, so Savit begins to hijack and steal transports meant for the battle station so that not all the supplies being directed to the project will go to waste]]. |
| 457 | * WickedCultured: Composes operas, which he also conducts and plays instruments in. He was once a solo artist, but switched to composing operas after learning of the then Chancellor Palpatine's fondness for them. |

| 469 | ->''"It's time for something better. Something new. An Empire worthy of the galaxy it will rule."'' |
| 470 | |
| 471 | A mysterious and respected Fleet Admiral of the Imperial Navy whom Rae Sloane has served under. Following the Battle of Akiva, he rules what is left of the Empire from behind the scenes, ordering the formation of the Shadow Council and eventually taking on the title of Counselor to the Empire. |
| 472 | ---- |
| 473 | * BadassCape: In ''Empire's End'', he wears a blood-red cape with his admiral's uniform. |
| 474 | * BadassLongRobe: In addition to his Admiral's uniform he also wears a floor-length blood-red robe. |
| 475 | * BigBad: Of the ''Aftermath'' trilogy, establishing control over the majority of the remaining Imperial forces and ruthlessly eliminating opposition to his leadership and new vision for the Empire. |
| 476 | * BornIntoSlavery: [[spoiler:He started life as a slave on Jakku]]. |
| 477 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Ultimately, he's done in by Sloane during their climatic battle on Jakku.]] |
| 478 | * TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:He orchestrated the events of ''Aftermath'', all to purge the weak from the remaining Imperial leadership.]] |
| 479 | * ContemplativeBoss: About half the time Sloane comes to report to him, his back is turned to the door, hands clasped behind his back, as he listens to classical music. |
| 480 | * TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:He corrupted other orphans on Jakku to do his bidding and he also corrupts Sloane, though she was already a ruthless Imperial officer, and Armitage Hux.]] |
| 481 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: ''Life Debt'' reveals that Rax was [[spoiler:an orphan living on Jakku, where he spent most of his childhood in slavery. In an attempt to escape the planet, he stowed away on a ship. Unfortunately, said ship, the Imperialis, was Palpatine's private yacht]]. |
| 482 | * DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: Rax wants a more efficient, more streamlined, more ''ruthless'' Empire and he doesn't care about what methods he has to use to make it happen or who he has to destroy in the process. |
| 483 | * DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Feeds information to the New Republic to further his above plans. |
| 484 | * DragonAscendant: He was one of Palpatine's best military officers [[spoiler:in addition to being his personal agent on Jakku. Now, he's the de facto commander of the Imperial Remnant]]. |
| 485 | * EarthShatteringKaboom: [[spoiler:Rax tries to blow up Jakku to destroy most of the Imperial Remnant (except for his loyal followers) and New Republic militaries. Luckily, Norra and Sloane manage to prevent it.]] |
| 486 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Described as pale in complexion with black hair and dark eyes that seem to suck in all light. |
| 487 | * EvilMentor: To Rae Sloane. Then a little later, he serves as one for [[spoiler:Armitage Hux]]. |
| 488 | * EvilOrphan: Well, he ''is'' an orphan, and just looking at all the tropes associated with him should tell you that Rax isn't a nice man. |
| 489 | * {{Expy}}: The author, Chuck Wendig, refers to him as a "[[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy mysterious Thrawn-like figure]]". Though given his backstory, [[spoiler:affinity for the Dark Side, and connection to Palpatine, he also bares a resemblance to Nial Declann]]. |
| 490 | * FakingTheDead: Sloane informs the other Imperials that he's dead, but he appears at the end of ''Aftermath'' alive and well. He eventually emerges from the shadows to take direct control. |
| 491 | * FourStarBadass: As an Imperial Fleet Admiral, this is a given. |
| 492 | * TheGeneralissimo: In fact, if not name. He was one of the Imperial Navy's highest ranking officers at the time of the Battle of Endor. [[spoiler:Six months after Endor he has seized control over most of what is left of the Empire.]] |
| 493 | * GracefulLoser: Despite all the crap he put Sloane through, he lets her take over leadership of the Empire's remains so they can flee to the Unknown Regions and reform as the First Order so they can get their revenge on the New Republic 30 years later. |
| 494 | * JustTheFirstCitizen: Rax has a tendency towards taking titles that avoid overtly displaying just how much power he wields. He refers to himself as an "adviser" to Sloane, despite the fact he is her commanding officer, and towards the end of ''Life Debt'' [[spoiler:he takes the title of Counselor to the Empire, even though some of his more die-hard supporters are calling him Emperor Rax]]. |
| 495 | * KickTheDog: This might just be Rax's favorite past-time given how often he does it. To give a couple of examples, he orchestrates the destruction of one Imperial Star Destroyer and most of its crew by the New Republic Navy just so he can get rid of the warship's commanding officer. [[spoiler:He also kills his fellow orphans on Jakku to keep the Observatory a secret]]. |
| 496 | * KickTheSonOfABitch: But Rax also takes it upon himself to start cleaning the Imperial house post-Endor, ordering the deaths of several corrupt and brutal high-ranking Imperials. |
| 497 | * TheManBehindTheMan: He serves as Sloane's commanding officer, though few people realize it and most think he is dead. |
| 498 | * ManchurianAgent: Rax ordered the use of the same sleeper technology that was used on the clones for Order 66 on [[spoiler: several prisoners rescued by Han and Norra's team in an attempt to decapitate the New Republic leadership. It fails to kill Mon Mothma and Leia, though several other high-ranking politicians and military officers are killed]]. |
| 499 | * ManipulativeBastard: And a first class one at that. Even Sloane knows he's manipulating her, and though she has major reservations about Rax's goals and methods, even she can't help but dance to his tune. |
| 500 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His flagship is called the ''Ravager''. |
| 501 | * NoNameGiven: He's never referred to by name, only his title, in ''Aftermath''. Averted in ''Life Debt'', where his real name is revealed fairly quickly. |
| 502 | * NonActionBigBad: Rax is a schemer and a military strategist, not a front-line soldier. He spends most of his time on-board his flagship, the Super Star Destroyer ''Ravager''. [[spoiler:Though he proves to be a rather skilled fighter when Sloane, Brentin, and Norra confront him, which he attributes to his rough upbringing on Jakku]]. |
| 503 | * ObliquelyObfuscatedOccupation: Most of his peers in the Empire wonder what Rax's job was. He just suddenly appeared one day as a high-ranking officer whom was trusted by Palpatine with a long list of accomplishments that other officers were skeptical of. |
| 504 | * PostFinalBoss: He's the most prominent of Palpatine's supporters to outlive him, is the final major foe of the Imperial Era, and [[spoiler:has a major hand in founding the First Order]]. |
| 505 | * TheRival: He has a rivalry going on with Grand General Kenner Loring over who should control the Empire post-Endor. [[spoiler:By the end of ''Life Debt'' Rax is very much the top dog in the Imperial Hierarchy]]. |
| 506 | * RousingSpeech: Delivers an impressive speech at the start of the Battle of Jakku in ''Empire's End''. |
| 507 | * StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler:Being an orphan slave on Jakku made sure Rax had a hard life, but it was a chance meeting with Palpatine when Rax stowed away on the ''Imperialis'' that started him down a dark path]]. |
| 508 | * ShadowDictator: [[spoiler:By the end of ''Life Debt'', Rax has seized control of most of the Imperial Remnant, but continues to remain in the shadows while making people like Sloane the public face of the Empire.]] |
| 509 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Probably his most defining character trait, though given his background and who he was mentored by, it's not hard to see why he holds to this philosophy. |
| 510 | * StartMyOwn: [[spoiler:His goal is to destroy the old Empire, then retreat into the Unknown Regions with a band of loyal followers to start a new one free of the weaknesses he saw in its previous incarnation.]] |
| 511 | * TheStrategist: One of the Empire's best, too. He proves frighteningly competent at getting what he wants. |
| 512 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Rax is in charge of Palpatine's contingency plan. Not only did Palpatine want to destroy the Rebellion and other civilians in the event he dies by having Rax lead the Imperial Remnant in his place, but to also destroy the ''Empire'' itself, because he wanted the Galaxy all to himself and no one else. Had Rax succeeded, it's possible that he would've taken at least half or two-thirds of the Galaxy down with him. This was touched upon in ''ComicBook/ShatteredEmpire''.]] |
| 513 | * UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:He's still faithfully carrying out Palpatine's plans. Everything Rax has done since Endor has been in accordance with Palpatine's contingency plan in case he died at Endor, even using his last breath to make sure his killer, Sloane, carried on the Emperor's legacy.]] |
| 514 | * TheUnfettered: Rax will do anything to win and dominate, there is no tactic or strategy for him that is too cruel or under-handed. [[spoiler:He even orchestrates an attack under the cover of peace talks]]. |
| 515 | * VisionaryVillain: Rax intends to ''reform'' the Empire into something more efficient, more capable, more effective in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. [[spoiler:By ''Life Debt'', it's clear that he's one of the central driving forces, if not ''the'' central one, behind the creation of the First Order]]. |
| 516 | -->'''Rax:''' This is how it must be. The Empire became this ... ugly, inelegant machine. Crude and inefficient. We needed to be broken into pieces. We needed to get rid of those who want to see that old machine churning ineluctably forward. It's time for something better. Something new. An Empire worthy of the galaxy it will rule. |
| 517 | * VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Rax rarely appears in the flesh and spends most of the time contacting his subordinates and proxies via hologram. Sloane even describes him as "if she is meeting the hologram of a dead man made to pass as real". |
| 518 | * WalkingSpoiler: Reading about his character bio spoils what happened to the Empire after Endor and how the First Order came to be. |
| 519 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Rax convinced other orphans on Jakku to do his bidding, then killed them to keep what he was doing for Palpatine a secret.]] |
| 520 | * WickedCultured: A dangerous leader in the Empire, and also appreciative of classical music. |
| 521 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:He tries to do this to most of the Empire, under Palpatine's orders, on the logic that an Empire that failed to safeguard its Emperor isn't worthy of continued existence]]. |

| 540 | |
| 541 | ->''"We are receiving a signal from the tracker. They will not be able to outrun us for long."'' |
| 542 | |
| 543 | An admiral and commander of the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Relentless'', the personal vessel of the Grand Inquisitor. He oversees the blockade of Lothal during the hunt for the ''Ghost'' and commands several military operations against the growing Rebel network. |
| 544 | ---- |
| 545 | * SeventiesHair: Sports rather long sideburns like many of the Imperial officers in ''A New Hope'', although the addition of Konstantine's PornStache takes this trope even further than any of them. |
| 546 | * AlliterativeName: '''K'''assius '''K'''onstantine. |
| 547 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Thrawn. And it would appear that Thrawn knows it, and Konstantine is envious of it to some degree. |
| 548 | * AscendedExtra: Becomes a part of the main cast of Imperials from the second season of ''Rebels'' onwards. |
| 549 | * BadBoss: He reassures his tractor beam officer that he knows it was not his fault that he caught Darth Vader's TIE in the tractor beam instead of the ''Ghost''. [[BaitAndSwitch Then he notes that Vader will not know that.]] |
| 550 | * BlatantLies: In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E06IronSquadron "Iron Squadron"]], when [[BigDamnHeroes Sato and the rest of Phoenix Squadron show up]] to help the ''Ghost'' crew retrieve Mart, he orders his men to contact Thrawn for reinforcements. When his cruiser gets demolished and the rebels leave, Thrawn just so happens to show up right then and there. Konstantine claims that he was trying to contact him about the mission's initial success... but Thrawn sees through it like glass and doesn't hesitate to explain that he was a pawn in his WoundedGazelleGambit, meaning that he didn't care if Konstantine won anyway. |
| 551 | * ButtMonkey: Not PlayedForLaughs. |
| 552 | ** In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsStepsIntoShadow "Steps Into Shadow"]], Pryce shows clear disdain for his lack of successes (Kallus at least has justifications and a number of successes) by mocking him in a private meeting with Tarkin (who appears to agree) and later in his face, and he is caught off guard by Thrawn being a ''Grand'' Admiral, as well as his tactics. |
| 553 | ** Continues in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E06IronSquadron "Iron Squadron"]], where Thrawn uses him in a WoundedGazelleGambit to learn if Sato is willing to go back for family or not, no matter if Konstantine wins or loses. Thrawn has Konstantine leave with only a light cruiser, two transports, and some [=TIEs=], which is practically considered going into battle naked and bare when their [[TheDreaded opponents]] are the ''Ghost'' crew, Phoenix Squadron, and the Iron Squadron crew. When Konstantine questions it, Thrawn asks if he's too chicken to do it, and after the rebels escape, Thrawn makes it clear he knew Konstantine failed and always knew despite what he may claim what happened. |
| 554 | * CoDragons: With Kallus to Thrawn in season 3. |
| 555 | * DoesNotLikeMagic: He dislikes working with Inquisitors, dismissing them as "mystics". He doesn't share the same opinion about Darth Vader, but that might just be because he's justifiably terrified of him. |
| 556 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He's more than a little creeped out by the Inquisitors. |
| 557 | * GloryHound: In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E19ZeroHour "Zero Hour"]], he chafes against Thrawn's orders to keep his Interdictor cruiser at the back. [[spoiler:This leads directly to his death, as Commander Sato lures him out by pretending to make a run for it and then rams his carrier into Konstantine's Interdictor.]] |
| 558 | * GreenEyedMonster: He's clearly jealous of Thrawn's rank and influence, which is a major factor in [[spoiler:his death, as he's resentful of Thrawn's orders to stay at the back with his Interdictor, and thus when Commander Sato's ship appears to be making a run for it, he takes the bait.]] |
| 559 | * HateSink: Not only is he incompetent and a GloryHound, but his screw-ups lead to [[NiceJobFixingItVillain his more competent superiors' plans failing and letting the rebels get away]]. In addition, when he became an AscendedExtra starting in Season 2, it at least seemed that he had a VillainousFriendship with Kallus... then later, after Kallus has a HeelRealization but still wants to see if there's any good in the Empire, Konstantine never acknowledges his return beyond what is basically a "Hi", meaning that the admiral isn't actually that concerned about Kallus and never seemed to have considered him a "friend". |
| 560 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He has a TIE Bomber discreetly plant a magno-mine on the Iron Squadron's freighter after Mart loses. The rebels find out, though, and have R3 and Chopper stick it on one of Mart's cargo so he can do his explosives trick again, badly damaging Konstantine's light cruiser and making him look bad in front of Thrawn when he shows up right after. |
| 561 | * {{Hypocrite}}: After practically doing a SpitTake when Thrawn sends him ''under''equipped to apprehend the rebels over Mykapo, Konstantine then sees the Iron Squadron alone and says that Thrawn ''over''estimated the rebels... but Phoenix Squadron and the ''Ghost'' end up coming back and causing a real dogfight. |
| 562 | * InformedAttribute: Tarkin says Konstantine has one of the best fleets in the Navy and is considered one of the best Admirals, but he's hardly done anything successful as far as capturing the rebels goes. This is probably an InvokedTrope to show how incompetent Konstantine really is -- that the problem isn't the fleet, but Konstantine himself. |
| 563 | * KickTheDog: |
| 564 | ** Pins (or at least intended to; we have no idea if Vader bothered to find out or anything) the blame of catching Vader's TIE instead of the ''Ghost'' on his subordinate. |
| 565 | ** Apparently never noticed that Kallus went MIA/KIA for a day or two or never cared in the first place, nor does he show concern about his well-being. |
| 566 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Konstantine disobeys Grand Admiral Thrawn because he's tired of being a part of his "games" and wanted the glory of taking Commander Sato himself. This bites Konstantine in the ass.]] |
| 567 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 568 | ** Cassius means [[IncompetenceInc "empty,]] [[ItsAllAboutMe vain"]] in ancient Roman. |
| 569 | ** Constantine means [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "constant"]] or "steadfast", the latter often being used to describe loyalty. Konstantine is loyal to the Empire. Alternatively, if you put the meanings of both his first and last name together, it basically means he's constantly useless/selfish. |
| 570 | ** It's worth mentioning that the last king of UsefulNotes/{{Greece}}, Constantine II, rose to power after a military junta turned Greece into a dictatorship (though he might as well have been considered a puppet king, because he didn't have any loyal military personnel to depend on and the restless civilian populace believed him to be incompetent). This led to a counter-coup and the abolition of the monarchy, forming the Third Hellenic Republic (otherwise known as modern day Greece). Sounds a bit familiar... |
| 571 | ** Historically, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_XI_Palaiologos Constantine XI Palaiologos]] was the last Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, and by extension, the last Emperor of the Roman Empire. |
| 572 | %%* TheMillstone |
| 573 | * MookLieutenant: The Grand Inquisitor's, and later Agent Kallus', senior-most subordinate. However, he's proven to be a credible threat on his own without the Grand Inquisitor and Kallus involved (provided he's not facing off against Hera's piloting skills or other Imperials are sabotaging him). |
| 574 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: |
| 575 | ** Making it seem like he and Kallus had a VillainousFriendship, then later not showing concern for him, ends up causing further doubt in Kallus' faith in the Empire. |
| 576 | ** Disobeying Thrawn's orders to stay put in his Interdictor because the Grand Admiral knows that the rebels are relying on someone on the enemy team making a dumb move results in said Interdictor getting destroyed with Konstantine on board and allows Ezra to call for [[TheCavalry reinforcements]]. |
| 577 | * OhCrap: |
| 578 | ** Gets a look of utter horror on his face when told that Darth Vader's TIE was caught by their tractor beam, not the ''Ghost''. |
| 579 | ** When Thrawn calls him up after the rebels escape Mykapo, since that was under his supervision. |
| 580 | ** And then when he realizes that [[spoiler:Sato is about to ram the ''Phoenix Home'' into his Interdictor]], [[LaserGuidedKarma which happens after he disobeys Thrawn's orders to stay put]]. |
| 581 | * PetTheDog: In "Academy Cadets", despite their failure in apprehending the crew, he still commends the cadets in their efforts and will specifically send a recommendation to Imvur for Jeken's leadership. |
| 582 | * PornStache: To go along with his distinctive sideburns. |
| 583 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: While he dislikes all the Inquisitors, Konstantine seems to have a particular dislike of the Fifth Brother. Unsurprising, since it is the Fifth Brother's fault that he was called away from an operation that had a very good chance of finally killing the ''Ghost'' crew. |
| 584 | * TooDumbToLive: Thrawn orders him to hold his position during the assault on the Rebel base at Atollon, but Konstantine disobeys to intercept Commander Sato's ship in order to claim the glory and because he resents Thrawn ordering him around, not realising that Sato [[ActionBomb was baiting him to do just that]], leading to Konstantine not only dying but losing an entire ship in the process. |
| 585 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: |
| 586 | ** When he shows up on the scene over Mykapo, he only sees the Iron Squadron's lone ship, and sneers that Thrawn overestimated the rebels. But Konstantine isn't underestimating Iron Squadron, [[SubvertedTrope as he actually does manage to defeat Mart]]; he's underestimating Thrawn. |
| 587 | ** If he had complied with Thrawn's orders in the season finale, then the Imperials could have ''[[TheBadGuyWins won decisively]]''. |
| 588 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Konstantine dies attempting to flee Commander Sato in pure terror like the DirtyCoward he is the moment the rebel commander changes course]]. |
| 589 | * VillainousFriendship: Seemingly at first with Kallus, but the ending of [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E15TheHonorableOnes "The Honorable Ones"]] reveals that this is actually ''averted''. While they both are against the Inquisitors (he even freely rants to Kallus about the Fifth Brother at one point) and are CoDragons after the ''Ghost'' crew, he shows no concern when an injured Kallus returns from a mission after being practically pronounced [=KIA=] by the Empire roughly a day ago. He might not have even known he was ''gone''. It seems that [[NotSoAboveItAll Kallus really]] ''[[NotSoAboveItAll did]]'' [[NotSoAboveItAll think they were friends]], considering he looks let down after Konstantine simply greets him as if nothing happened. |
| 590 | * XtremeKoolLetterz: In another ''Star Wars'' tradition, he has a normal name, Cassius Constantine, that's been jazzed up with fancy spelling to make it look more exotic. |

| 610 | An Admiral in the Imperial Navy and the commander of an experimental Interdictor cruiser and its escorts operating in the Del Zennis system. |
| 611 | ---- |
| 612 | * AffablyEvil: He shows a degree of reverence for the person Rex was before deserting the Empire, even referring to him by his actual name. Once Rex makes it clear that he's not going back to the Empire, Titus gets serious and drops any kindness he showed earlier. |
| 613 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:His next major role after "Steps Into Shadow" is when his ship gets shot down by rebels in "In the Name of the Rebellion".]] |
| 614 | * BenevolentBoss: From what we see of him so far, though he's not without temper and arrogance, he's not a complete douche towards his men. Namely, he tells them to evacuate when [[spoiler:Reklam Station begins to fall]] before he himself gets out of dodge, and his lieutenant in "Stealth Strike" does seem to reciprocate this respect towards him (notice that he waits for Titus to get up after he trips while escaping the nearby Interdictor explosion). |
| 615 | * ButtMonkey: Titus has his ship or command center destroyed in ''[[OncePerEpisode every episode]] [[RunningGag he appears in]]'', the last time [[spoiler:[[KilledOffForReal with him on board.]]]] |
| 616 | * TheCameo: Appears briefly in "Through Imperial Eyes" with Slavin and Brunson coming from a meeting with Thrawn. |
| 617 | * DeadpanSnarker: Engages in SnarkToSnarkCombat with Ezra when he tries pulling the "My name is Jabba the Hutt" card again. Titus comments that he's [[Film/ANewHope rather]] [[MemeticMutation short]] for a Hutt before revealing that he's well aware of his previous attempts at the trick, thanks to Kallus. |
| 618 | * DirtyCoward: When [[BigDamnHeroes Kanan]] shows up to save Rex and knocks out every other trooper in the room, he stumbles back to the other room. Although in his defense, there's not much he can do when he's outmatched by a Jedi. |
| 619 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He has trouble understanding why Rex would turn his back on the Empire, and is surprised when Rex turns down his offer to have the clone trooper reinstated into the Imperial military in exchange for giving up his friends. |
| 620 | * EvilIsPetty: Disregards Kallus' orders to triple guard Ezra, which results in him escaping and running around in the Interdictor. He panics and puts out orders to shoot to kill him on sight, because he doesn't want to admit Kallus was right. |
| 621 | * GoingDownWithTheShip: {{Inverted}} twice, as he's the only confirmed Imperial survivor of both the Interdictor and Reklam Station. [[spoiler:PlayedStraight the [[RuleOfThree third time]] with the light cruiser.]] |
| 622 | * InkSuitActor: He looks a bit like his voice actor, Derek Partridge. |
| 623 | * InterserviceRivalry: He has a low opinion of the [[StateSec Imperial Secu]][[SecretPolice rity Bureau]] and he specifically gives the kill order on Ezra Bridger mainly because [[EvilIsPetty he doesn't want to admit Agent Kallus was right to be so cautious]]. |
| 624 | * MookLieutenant: As with all Imperial Admirals. |
| 625 | * PetTheDog: After it turns out Ezra is perfectly fine with committing a SadisticChoice to [[spoiler:let Reklam Station fall, risking both Imperial and ally lives if they don't escape in time]], [[BenevolentBoss Titus gets on the intercom to tell everyone to evacuate ASAP before running off]]. |
| 626 | * PunnyName: His name sounds very similar to the word "Bronchitis". |
| 627 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: Losing an experimental, new model Interdictor cruiser to a small group of rebels he had already ''captured'' is not something the Imperial High Command approves of. He is subsequently demoted to Commander and put in charge of a military junkyard responsible for recycling old Clone Wars-era equipment. And then ''that'' gets destroyed. |
| 628 | * SmugSnake: He is pretty damn arrogant and tends to seriously underestimate the Rebels, especially Ezra. His win-loss ratio is definitely nothing to brag about. |
| 629 | * ToThePain: He tells Rex that his death will be excruciating and that he's an ExpendableClone. |
| 630 | * {{Tuckerization}}: His first name is derived from Scott Bromley, a producer on Rebels Recon and ''The Star Wars Show'' |
| 631 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: The key reason for his defeat with the Interdictor is due to underestimating Ezra's abilities and not sending enough guards to keep him captured. |
| 632 | * VillainHasAPoint: While telling Rex that he ''helped'' put the New Order into place is condescending, Brom IS correct, given that the Clones' true purpose was to eradicate the Jedi and help Palpatine's Empire become a reality, as we've seen in "[[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Revenge of the Sith]]", the final season of "[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]", and other media taking place around the end of the Clone Wars. |
| 633 | * WouldHurtAChild: Despite initially dismissing Ezra Bridger as a mere child to Agent Kallus, the moment Ezra escapes from his flagship's brig he issues a kill-on-sight order for Ezra, if only because he doesn't want to admit his mistake to Kallus. |

He personally leads the interception and capture of the [[PlayerCharacter smuggler captain]], before bringing them deeper into Vader's Castle. |
| 667 | ---- |
| 668 | * AffablyEvil: Warns you not to tempt Vader's wrath, but he makes it clear that, regardless, he still expects you to inevitably fail whatever task his Sith superior gives you, [[FalseReassurance but at least he promises you a merciful death afterwords.]] Fortunately, since you're [[PlayerCharacter the player]], you prove him wrong. |

| 671 | * TheDragon: Karius is the second highest ranked Imperial in ''VideoGame/VaderImmortal'', outranked only by the titular dark lord. |
| 672 | * HollywoodCyborg: His right arm is entirety mechanical, and the left side of his mug is covered by a metal respirator and mask. |

| 690 | An Imperial officer who successfully implemented the new chain code system, and is now responsible for overseeing the integration of conscripts and enlisted personnel with the clone troopers on Kamino. |
| 691 | ---- |
| 692 | * EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:He ends up (involuntarily) allying with the Bad Batch for the final story arc of the series.]] |
| 693 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Emperor Palpatine throws him under the bus before the entire Senate, destroying Rampart's career and credibility forever. Given everything else Rampart's done, though, it's hard to feel sorry for him.]] |
| 694 | * BadBoss: Not atypical behavior for an Imperial officer but Rampart stands out for his superficial affability, contrasted by cold ruthlessness. Regardless of competence or potential worth, Rampart will dispose of his underlings the moment he deems they're no longer useful or they inconvenience his own ambitions, as was the case with Captain Wilco. |
| 695 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Rampart ends the first season of ''The Bad Batch'' with most of his goals accomplished, including the destruction of the Kaminoan cloning facilities, recruiting chief Kaminoan scientists to his cause, and beginning the process of phasing out the clones in favor of human recruits.]] |
| 696 | * BeardOfSorrow: [[spoiler:He grows one in the Imperial prison labor camp on Erebus, which is retained by the time he helps them in finding Tantiss.]] |
| 697 | * BigBad: Of ''The Bad Batch''. Appointed by Tarkin to oversee the transition from clones to conscripted recruits and as the one whom [[TheDragon Crosshair]] answers to, Rampart is the main Imperial antagonist whose influence causes most of the problems Clone Force 99 has to deal with. [[spoiler:Ultimately {{subverted}}, as he is exposed and arrested for the destruction of Tipoca City half-way through Season 2, making him nothing more than a BigBadWannabe DiscOneFinalBoss]]. |
| 698 | * BigBadEnsemble: For a time, Lama Su caused his own share of problems for Clone Force 99 by sending bounty hunters to retrieve Omega and undermine Rampart's efforts to ensure the continued use of the Clone Army within the burgeoning Empire, but Rampart seemingly eventually won out and became the sole BigBad in "War-Mantle" after canceling Kamino's cloning contracts and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dealing with]] Lama Su. [[spoiler:However, he ultimately proved to be nothing more than a BigBadWannabe DiscOneFinalBoss, as he gets exposed and arrested for the destruction of Tipoca City halfway through Season 2.]] |
| 699 | * BigBadWannabe: He causes the Bad Batch no small amount of problems and is a ruthless piece of work, but Rampart is just another replaceable cog in the Imperial machine. [[spoiler:Once his involvement in the destruction of Tipoca City is brought to light, Palpatine throws him under the bus and he's unceremoniously imprisoned, without a final confrontation with Clone Force 99. By the time they ''finally'' meet him in person, he's at ''their'' mercy]] |
| 700 | * BoringYetPractical: Rampart's chain code system isn't terribly flashy, but it seriously hinders the ability of any anti-Imperial dissidents to travel freely throughout the galaxy without being tracked. |
| 701 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:After being PutOnThePrisonBus midway through season 2, he returns in season 3 so the Batch could get him to reveal the location of Tantiss.]] |
| 702 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:What he winds up being, come the midpoint of the second season. After doing the leg work of destroying Tipoca City and ushering in the Defense Recruitment Bill, Palpatine makes him TheScapegoat when the truth comes to light, and takes all of the credit for his work by pushing forward the Stormtrooper program.]] |
| 703 | * DissonantSerenity: His only visible reaction to [[spoiler:carrying out Tarkin's orders to bombard ''all'' of Kamino's cities, effectively wiping out all settlements on the planet,]] is to smile very slightly. |
| 704 | * DramaticIrony: |
| 705 | ** Rampart is convinced that Stormtroopers will form an army far superior to the clones that preceded them. As any ''Star Wars'' fan familiar with [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy their level of accuracy]] knows, they prove to be anything but, due to their wildly inconsistent training regiments. |
| 706 | ** In another rather twisted example, Edmon [[spoiler:did get his way with the stormtroopers replacing the clone troopers…but was ultimately the scapegoat to justify the former’s existence.]] |
| 707 | * EnemyMine: In Season 3, [[spoiler:after being rescued by the Bad Batch, he offers them a way to Tantiss, which is infiltrating Imperial Station 003, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork though his alliance with them is shaky at best]]. He did everything he could, only for them to find out the only way is to get there themselves. Because they’re his only ride to safety, he has to see their mission through.]] |
| 708 | * FantasticRacism: Edmon dislikes Clones and [[YouAreNumber6 refers to them by their numbers, rather than names]], but doesn't openly antagonize them, since he still treats them like normal soldiers. [[spoiler:By the time Clone Force 99 breaks him out of the Imperial labor camp on Erebus and need his help to find Tantiss, he openly snarls about his hatred of them.]] |
| 709 | * FascistButInefficient: Rampart ends up an examination of this trope; he’s very good and quick at implementing much of the bureaucracy and military restructuring that the Empire uses to oppress and rob the populace of the Galaxy, enough that if his strategies were correctly targeted and conceived, he’d be a NoNonsenseNemesis… but because the goal is oppression and personal control rather than efficiency, our heroes frequently escape him, he wastes numerous resources and he eventually, inevitably, begins regularly partaking in lethal infighting and murder to try and solve problems and save face where less violent and paranoid actions would suffice. |
| 710 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Once Tarkin promotes him, Rampart's affable facade is peeled away to reveal a cold, ruthless piece of work who cares little for the lives of those under his command. |
| 711 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 712 | ** [[spoiler:When seen for the first time since ''Truth and Consequences", he is transferred as a prisoner in a [=HCVw=] A9 turbo tank on Erebus, the same type of tank he once commanded on Ryloth]]. |
| 713 | ** Despite being the usual smug Imperial who exhibits the arrogance and tendency to underestimate the Empire's enemies, when he's working with Clone Force 99, the same group of enemies he antagonized throughout Season 1, he's the OnlySaneMan during the squad's mission to infiltrate Imperial Station 003. |
| 714 | * NominalHero: In Season 3, [[spoiler:he ends up working with the Bad Batch to rescue the Clone prisoners on Tantiss. He's not doing this because of any sense of moral righteousness, but because the Batch have strongarmed him into helping and they're his only hope of escaping the Empire.]] |
| 715 | * NotSoStoic: All emotionless and cold in most scenes, he loses his composure during his VillainousBreakdown. Season 3 has him start showing more emotion, as well. |
| 716 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: He kicks Lama Su and the rest of the Kaminoans pretty hard by canceling all of their contracts and conscripting a select few scientists to serve the Empire while discarding those he has no use for. Even the Kaminoans he does keep know they're likely living on borrowed time before they, too, are discarded. Considering the Kaminoans treat their clones like property and are happy to discard any they deem defective, it's hard to feel sorry for them. |
| 717 | * PetTheDog: |
| 718 | ** Despite leaving Crosshair for dead, he allows him to return to the Imperial Army and pairs him up with Cody and other Clones to help the Empire bring peace and prosperity for the people who like Palpatine while punishing enemies who want the old corrupt Republic back or "freedom" from a system they don't want any part of. These actions seem even more magnanimous on his part when one considers that Crosshair's survival might imply by extension that the rest of the Bad Batch was also capable of surviving his orbital bombardment of Tipoca City (as they indeed did), a scenario that he does not want other Imperials to entertain whatsoever, though it is also possible that he had no opportunity to completely cover his tracks by eliminating Crosshair before others knew of his survival once he was discovered. For all the difference it would make, Crosshair would age out of his service sooner or later, and decides Crosshair will need to be supervised from now on. |
| 719 | ** Despite telling Lama Su that he has no use for politicians, he just places him in Imperial custody on Coruscant, as revealed near the end of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS2E11Metamorphosis Metamorphosis]]", thus sparing him from the bombardment of Tipoca City. |
| 720 | * PunchClockVillain: Subverted. Rampart initially appears to be less of the school of [[CardCarryingVillain mustache-twirling Imperial villains]] and more of the school of [[ObliviouslyEvil Imperials who genuinely think that the Empire is making a positive difference]]. By the time he frames Cham Syndulla for the attempted assassination of Orn Free Taa, of which he was responsible for, Rampart is revealed to be just as vile and ruthless as any other Imperial officer. |
| 721 | * RankUp: After Crosshair and the Elite Squad pass their field test by killing a band of refugees and resistance fighters under Saw Gerrera, Rampart is promoted to Admiral by Tarkin and appointed to oversee the transition from clones to human recruits. |
| 722 | * SmugSnake: While not quite as overt as other Imperial officers, Rampart still exhibits the arrogance and tendency to underestimate his enemies. To his credit, when does finally recognize a threat, he works toward eliminating it as quickly and as ruthlessly as possible. |
| 723 | * TheScapegoat: [[spoiler:Once his involvement in the destruction of Kamino and genocide of the Kaminoans is publicly revealed, Palpatine quickly swoops in to salvage the situation and pins Rampart as a rogue agent and a traitor, throwing him under the bus and using his "treachery" to [[XanatosGambit push forward with the Stormtrooper program]] by using him as a justifying factor in the Empire's need for a new army.]] |
| 724 | * TheSocialExpert: Created the right incentives to get people to sign up for the Empire's new chain code system, has quickly and effectively navigated the local politics of Ryloth to strengthen Imperial control there, and overall displays very good social skills, which does not go unnoticed by Bail Organa. |
| 725 | -->'''Bail Organa:''' [[LampshadeHanging Rampart is skilled at saying all the right things. Especially when he doesn't want anyone looking deeper.]] |
| 726 | * TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: When being given a captain's uniform to wear during the infiltration of Imperial Station 003, Rampart complains that he was a Vice Admiral, though Clone Force 99 blatantly tells him he was demoted. |
| 727 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He initially doesn't think much of Clone Force 99, seeing them as a small band of renegades who are a secondary issue at best. It's only when they inflict a major blow on his operations on Ryloth that he realizes how dangerous they are and immediately dispatches Crosshair, who he'd kept on a tight leash until then, to actively hunt them down. |
| 728 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: A very minor one when he is exposed for destroying Tipoca City and then accused of being a traitor by the Emperor himself. Rampart can only collapse and lean on his podium in shock as he realizes he's been made the fall guy for Tarkin and Palpatine. A more straight example as he's being arrested, as he desperately attempts to protest that he was following orders, and [[SuddenlyShouting raises his voice for the very first time.]]]] |
| 729 | * VisionaryVillain: He is the driving force behind Project War-Mantle, with the goal of replacing clones with conscripted recruits whose belief in the Empire is not programed, but driven by fanatical patriotism. |
| 730 | * WeHaveReserves: He dismisses the loss of ES-01 as a risk of the job, not even bothering to ask what happened to him. |
| 731 | * YouHaveFailedMe: He kills Captain Wilco for not falsifying an official report that Clone Force 99 survived the orbital bombardment of Tipoca City on Kamino and disrupted his operations on Serenno. |
| 732 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: |
| 733 | ** Inflicts this on Lama Su and the entirety of Kamino. Once the Empire is well on its way in phasing out the clones, Rampart sees no reason to maintain relations with the Kaminoans and cancels all of their contracts, and later recruits any and all scientists that may be of use to the Empire... and disposing of those who aren't. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed Lama Su is still alive by the time of "[[Recap/StarWarsTheBadBatchS2E11Metamorphosis Metamorphosis]]", though.]] |
| 734 | --->'''Rampart''': A scientist, I have use for. A politician, I do ''not''. [[DeadlyEuphemism I'm afraid your services are no longer needed.]] |
| 735 | ** Somewhat appropriately, he later ends up on the receiving end of a non-fatal version of this same trope when [[spoiler:Palpatine uses him as a convenient scapegoat for Kamino, paints him as a traitor and rogue agent, and takes personal credit and control of the Stormtrooper project.]] |

| 754 | * {{Jerkass}}: He is highly contemptuous of Han and finds his efforts to rescue another cadet against orders to be worthy of condemning instead of praised for saving them. |
| 755 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He only has a short appearance in the ''Solo'' novelization, but his guilty verdict in Han's trial and assigning him to Mimban would result in Han meeting Chewbacca, and ultimately the downfall of the Empire. |
| 756 | * WeHaveReserves: Believes in this, and thus that Han's effort to rescue another cadet to be pointless since the Empire can just train more. |

| 814 | |
| 815 | The commander of the Star Destroyer ''Tarkin's Will'', Zahra is tasked by the Emperor and Darth Vader with hunting down elements of the Rebel fleet following the Battle of Hoth. She is a former protégé of Wilhuff Tarkin and seeks revenge for his death against Princess Leia. |
| 816 | ---- |
| 817 | * ArcVillain: She is the primary Imperial antagonist of issues #1-24 of the 2020 relaunch of the ''Star Wars'' comic series. |
| 818 | * AvengingTheVillain: Zahra vows to kill Leia, holding her responsible for the destruction of the Death Star and the death of her mentor Tarkin. |
| 819 | * BigNo: Lets one out as the ''Falcon'' destroys one of the ships maintaining her blockade, allowing most of Rebel fleet division four to escape her trap along with Leia Organa. |
| 820 | * ContrivedCoincidence: Zahra just so happens to leave the Death Star to carry out a personal mission, moments before the space station is destroyed. |
| 821 | * DarkActionGirl: As befits a disciple of Tarkin, Zahra is more than comfortable with getting up close-and-personal with her enemies to slaughter them, and proved her worthiness to Tarkin by surviving on the Carrion Plateau of his homeworld. She primarily uses a red vibrosword in combat in conjunction with a blaster. |
| 822 | * TheHeavy: With Darth Vader busy dealing with the fallout from his confrontation with Luke and Crimson Dawn, Zahra's Hunter Fleet replaces Death Squadron in the assignment to hunt down and destroy the Rebel fleet. |
| 823 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Takes manual control of a turbolaser battery to destroy a fleeing X-Wing that the regular gunners could not hit with their assisted targeting programs. |
| 824 | * ItsPersonal: Vader mentions that he is aware of Zahra holding a personal grudge against Princess Leia, the person she holds responsible for the death of her mentor, Wilhuff Tarkin. Upon seeing the ''Millennium Falcon'' during a battle, Zahra orders an entire [=TIE=] squadron plus all available turbolasers to focus on destroying it based on Leia having been reported aboard recently, which a subordinate notes is excessive. |
| 825 | * MoralMyopia: Zahra holds a grudge against the Rebel Alliance for the destruction of the Death Star and murdering countless of Imperial personnel including her mentor, Tarkin, ignoring that the Death Star is a planet killing space station and had already destroyed Alderaan and every single living being on it. |
| 826 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: After her failure to kill the real Burnium Ro, Tarkin believed he made a mistake in picking her as his protégé and reassigned her to non-essential duties. Zahra believed it was meant to be temporary and that she could earn her way back into his good graces, but his death made the order stick. She spent three years commanding a minor mining facility on Kessel before Vader gave her the Hunter Fleet. |
| 827 | * TheStrategist: She was handpicked by Tarkin to be his protégé due to her tactical talents. During her hunt for the Rebel fleet, she puts those talents on display by successfully destroying several divisions and luring the Rebels into numerous traps. When she gets outgambited into an ambush with only her Star Destroyer against almost the entire Rebel fleet, Zahra still manages to destroy numerous ships through clever tactics and is only stopped by a Pathfinder team infiltrating and destroying the power core of ''Tarkin's Will''. |
| 828 | * TemptingFate: Like Tarkin, Zahra believed that the Rebels had little chance in destroying the Death Star. Just a few panels after she made this comment, the Death Star is destroyed. Fortunately for Zahra, she just so happened to leave the Death Star minutes before its destruction. [[spoiler:This history is repeated as she views her victory against the Rebel fleet certain, only for it to be undone moments later by Pathfinder's destroying her Star Destroyer's power core. Unlike Tarkin she gives the order to evacuate in time]]. |
| 829 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:After ''Tarkin's Will'' is destroyed, Zahra has a final confrontation with Leia in a cave on Panisia, where she is stuck to a wall by the spit of a massive creature whose children she killed. She is left begging for Leia to free her as the Princess walks away and leaves Zahra to be eaten by the approaching monster, but her actual death is never shown and her last words are swearing that she will escape.]] |

| 858 | Ciena grew up in the rural valleys of her homeworld in a culture that valued loyalty and honor above all else. She and her best friend and love Thane Kyrell join the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, where they graduate at the top of their class as pilots. From there, their lives take two very different paths as Ciena stays in the growingly tyrannical Empire while Thane defects to the Rebellion. |
| 859 | ---- |
| 860 | * AdaptationalVillainy: A very minor and Zigzagged example. In the manga adaptation of Lost Stars after learning Thane joined the Rebellion Ciena vows to kill him but can't bring herself to do it when she finally confronts him for joining the Rebels. In the book Ciena is merely dumbfounded by Thane joining the Rebels. |
| 861 | * AcePilot: She is one of the best [=TIE=] pilots to ever graduate from the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, and after becoming a commander and officer aboard the ''Executor'' she is still sent on missions due to her skills. |
| 862 | * BreakTheCutie: By the Battle of Endor, she is a jaded cynic and her early idealism is completely destroyed. |
| 863 | * TheCaptain: Of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor'', which she is given command of following the Battle of Endor. [[spoiler:She ends up crashing into Jakku during the battle above that world in order to prevent its capture by the New Republic]]. |
| 864 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Ciena and Thane. They meet when they're little ship-nerd 8-year-olds. They fall in love about a decade later. |
| 865 | * DeathSeeker: Even she isn't sure if she becomes one, [[spoiler:telling Thane she does not know if she is glad he saved her life during the Battle of Jakku, which led to her being in the custody of the New Republic]]. |
| 866 | * EmptyShell: After realizing the true nature of the Empire and the fact that her code of honor means she could never desert it, Ciena simply begins going through the motions, doing her duty but hoping that something will come along to end her service. |
| 867 | * FateWorseThanDeath: She starts to consider Imperial service this as well as a IronicHell due to how evil they've become. Her code of honor prevents her from ever stopping serving it. |
| 868 | * TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: It is implied by her reaction on first meeting Darth Vader, as well as her reaction when she sees the Emperor, that Ciena is on the lowest rung of Force sensitivity, similar to [[Characters/StarWarsOuterRimTerritories Kaeden Larte]] -- she can feel the Force around its users, but has no chance of being able to use it herself. This further adds to the irony of her situation. |
| 869 | * FriendlyEnemy: What Ciena and Thane morph into, both being on opposite sides of the Civil War. |
| 870 | * GoingDownWithTheShip: [[spoiler:Tries to crash her Star Destroyer into Jakku's surface after a Rebel team breaks in and sabotages the self-destruct mechanism while everyone else escapes so as to prevent the Rebels from capturing her ship. This also doubles as a suicide attempt as she's now a [[BreakTheCutie broken]], EmptyShell over serving the Empire, having witnessed the extent of its atrocities. Thane, who was among the team that broke into her ship, knocks her out and takes her back with him out of the doomed ship.]] |
| 871 | * HeelRealization: After having already started to become uneasy with the Empire, Ciena begins to understand how truly evil it is when her mother is framed by an Imperial official for corruption to cover up his own illicit doings and she gets a promotion for claiming to agree with her mother's sentence. Her realization that the Empire is not what she thought it was is cemented upon seeing the second Death Star. |
| 872 | * HonorBeforeReason: The valley culture of Jelucan places a massive emphasis on never violating an oath, even if it may be morally wrong not to do so. This belief is ingrained into Ciena, so even after she realizes the Empire is evil she continues to serve it as best she can, even though she is utterly miserable doing so. |
| 873 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She has a major case of this regarding the Imperial higher-ups. She always thinks the best of them and their motivations, even when it becomes abundantly obvious most of them are only out for themselves or sadistic bullies. Ciena even thinks that Tarkin is an admirable man who could become her mentor. |
| 874 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She unwittingly becomes this as she continually focuses on her loyalty to the Empire while becoming disgusted with Nash for doing the same. Ciena's own rationalizations about why to continue to serve the Empire despite it personally destroying her life are much like from Nash's. |
| 875 | * ImprobableAge: Given command of a Star Destroyer at only twenty-five, which she realizes is a total joke since it means the Empire is simply that desperate for competent officers in the wake of losing so many at the Battle of Endor and in the months afterwards during the Empire's rapid disintegration while she was recuperating. |
| 876 | * InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler:Tries to crash her Star Destroyer into Jakku's surface while remaining on it, with one of the reasons behind her action being to escape the Empire which she is bound to by duty and honor but is not happy over serving, now fully aware of its true evil nature. Thane knocks her out and carries her out of the doomed ship, thwarting her suicide attempt.]] |
| 877 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: A highly competent and well-regarded Imperial officer who... saves civilians, watches out for her damaged wingmates, covers up for fellow officers' mistakes or weaknesses, and takes time to reassure her scared subordinates that things will be fine. |
| 878 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Ciena swore an oath when she joined the Imperial Navy and she continues to abide by it long after she loses faith in the Empire as a nation. |
| 879 | * MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: Ciena's twin sister Wynnet died mere hours after birth, so she keeps a traditional Jelucan bracelet as a way of sharing her experiences with her, thus allowing her sister to live on through her. When the bracelet is destroyed by Imperial medics after Endor, this proves to be the last straw for Ciena, who had already become disillusioned with the Empire at this point. |
| 880 | * OddFriendship: With Thane due to their different and opposed cultures. The fact that it grows into a romance that continues even after Thane joins the Rebellion only increases how odd it is. |
| 881 | * RankUp: She is promoted several times throughout her career. The first is from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander alongside a transfer from the ''Devastator'' to the ''Executor'', due to the need for new competent officers in the wake of the Death Star's destruction. Ciena's next promotion to Commander occurs shortly before the Battle of Endor after several years of exemplary service and passing a loyalty test. Lastly, she is promoted in the wake of Endor to captain and given command of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''. |
| 882 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Among her friends who stay in the Empire after Alderaan's destruction, she is the only one who is not an Imperial fanatic and attempts to do good, which includes rescuing civilians without orders. |
| 883 | * UndyingLoyalty: To the Empire, even after understanding its true nature due to her culture demanding that she honor the oath of loyalty she swore. |
| 884 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Acknowledges the Empire can be harsh and cruel sometimes, but justifies it by its creation of order. She rationalizes the destruction of Alderaan as a failed effort to stop the Rebellion before all-out war could erupt, but later realizes that is wrong and that there is no excuse for the Empire's actions. |
| 885 | * WideEyedIdealist: She cannot see the Empire for what it really is for a long time, even after the destruction of Alderaan. |

Seitaron could not stand the thought of allowing thousands of Imperials to die avoidable deaths just to satisfy Verge's twisted sense of loyalty, so he shot him, ordered the two loyal witnesses to go to the bridge and order the crew to withdraw from Sullust, and then allowed Chalis to escape so blame would fall on her for Verge's death]]. |

| 1008 | * AttackAttackAttack: His go-to strategy, which by the time Titan Squadron runs into him has cost him his entire fleet of Star Destroyers save for his own ship. |
| 1009 | * BadBoss: When Titan Squadron first arrives over Desevro, they hide amongst the wreckage of most of Amos' fleet, which was destroyed due to him continuously goading attacks from the New Republic he clearly couldn't handle. This ends up getting the man himself killed when he refuses to retreat and his ship, the ''Tormentor'', is destroyed. |

| 1053 | |
| 1054 | An orphan from the streets of Coruscant, Terisa found salvation in the Imperial Navy as a way to bring order and structure to her life and the galaxy. After her mentor Linden Javes defected while saving a group of Alderaanian refugees, Terisa was reassigned to backwater sectors of the Empire as punishment, but clawed her way into command of the ISD ''Overseer'' in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor under the direction of Grand Admiral Sloane. |
| 1055 | ---- |
| 1056 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: She's convinced that the Alderaanian refugees that Helix Squadron is sent after in the prologue aren't as innocent as the Rebellion claims because [[AssociationFallacy they've chosen to hide in a place where thieves and smugglers frequent]]. |
| 1057 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: She was a TIE pilot under Javes’ command and learned from him. At the beginning of the game, when Javes expresses uncertainty about attacking Alderaanian refugees, Kerrill reminds him that he taught her that the idea that their targets are innocent civilians was merely rebel propaganda, something that Javes clearly regrets teaching her (especially since the Empire's reason for why Alderaan was destroyed was ''also'' propaganda). By time of the main story, they’re leaders of archenemy squadrons. |
| 1058 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She grew up as a starving orphan on the streets of Coruscant and she joined the Empire to escape her life. |
| 1059 | ** As Javes explains she was saved by Imperial welfare services and then inducted into the military. For her the Empire brought her from the most desperate poverty to captaining a major ship of the line. 'She'll do anything to defend it.' |
| 1060 | * EtTuBrute: Her reaction to Javes defecting, and she quickly attempts to kill him. |
| 1061 | * TheHeavy: The leader of the imperial forces investigating Project Starhawk, though she reports directly to Grand Admiral Sloane. |
| 1062 | * ItsPersonal: Invoked. Sloane puts her in charge of the investigation on Project Starhawk because the head of it is her former mentor, Javes, so Kerrill would be familiar with his tactics and eager to take him out. |
| 1063 | * TheMentor: Javes was her squadron leader and taught her to be loyal to the Empire. Possibly counts as ParentalSubstitute, given Kerrill grew up as an orphan and Javes is much older than her. |
| 1064 | * MilitaryMaverick: She backstabs her superior officer Colonel Gralm after he commandeers her ship and Titan Squadron to defend his munitions depot from Rebel raiders, stealing Baradium munitions to use against the Nadiri shipyards. She gets away with it, mostly because Gralm was an AssholeVictim and she was technically following Vice Admiral Sloane's mission orders, though the Admiral warns her not to pull a stunt like that again. |
| 1065 | * AMotherToHerMen: It's unclear whether she is this or simply engages in PragmaticVillainy, but compared to other Imperials, she takes care of her TIE pilots, possibly because she started her career as one. The penultimate mission where [[spoiler:you fly into the Starhawk's bowels and have to escape the reactor explosion under her personal guidance]] stands out considering other Imperials would have probably left you to figure things out on your own or just die with your mission accomplished. Of course the Empire is also fighting the war on an at best even footing at this point, so its WeHaveReserves tactics are no longer viable and Terisa is only quicker to realize this than most. |
| 1066 | ** Played straight in the short Story Promotion video 'Hunted'. She sends a search and rescue mission to find Varko Grey on Var-Shaa after having to abandon him when the Overseer jumped to lightspeed to prevent its destruction showing that for Kerrill NoOneGetsLeftBehind. |
| 1067 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: After Javes' defection, she was reassigned to protecting fuel shipments in the Meram sector from pirates and scoundrels, a reassignment that she considered a disgrace and the end of her career if it weren't for Sloane putting her in charge of uncovering Project Starhawk. |
| 1068 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Her squadron leader and mentor was Javes before he defected to the rebellion. |
| 1069 | * YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: She professionally refers to Javes as "sir", "captain", and "Javes", but when Javes's betrayal is revealed, they call each other by their first names. |

That said, he's still an unapologetic member of the evil Galactic Empire, and frequently expresses his desire to see the rebels wiped out once and for all. |

| 1102 | The commander of Titan Squadron, an elite TIE unit assigned to the ''Overseer''. Formerly a police officer on his homeworld of Parkella, Varko fought against corruption and injustice in the system. He eventually joined the Empire to help impose order on what he viewed as a choatic galaxy, rising through the ranks to establish himself as a famed Imperial ace. |

| 1104 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He's the protagonist of the ''Hunted'' cinematic short, which takes place shortly before the events of ''Squadrons''. |
| 1105 | * AFatherToHisMen: Unlike many Imperial officers he cares deeply for the pilots under his command. During the Battle of Var-Shaa he ignored order to retreat and ended up briefly stranded by trying to save one of his pilots and was devastated when they died. Even when Titan Three is given command of operations instead of him, Varko is simply proud of the skill and leadership qualities they are showing rather than jealous or defensive of his position. |
| 1106 | * HiddenDepths: He displays a remarkable talent for inspiring and comforting those under his command, and he expresses a desire to leave the military and retire to a quiet, peaceful backwater one day. |
| 1107 | * IveComeTooFar: Although he has serious reservations about many of the Empire's actions and express extreme discomfort with attacking civilians and a medical frigate to draw New Republic forces into a trap, Varko has seen far too many of his comrades and pilots under his command die in the name of establishing order to ever consider turning away from the Empire. |
| 1108 | * JackOfAllStats: Flies a standard TIE Fighter most often during the events of Squadrons, the most balanced and flexible of the Imperial fighters. |
| 1109 | * TheLeader: He's in charge of Titan Squadron, though in gameplay Titan-3 is the one calling the shots unless the mission explicitly calls for Grey to take the lead. |
| 1110 | * MightMakesRight: Believes the Empire's power means that it and their soldiers have complete control over deciding who gets to live and die in its efforts to bring order to the galaxy. |
| 1111 | * PetTheDog: If Titan-3 chooses to prioritize military targets over civilian ones, Grey expresses a bit of relief at not having to attack civilians, hiding it behind a veneer of focusing on the actual threats on the battlefield and maintaining sight of the mission's objectives. He'll also occasionally come to the player's rescue if they get overwhelmed. |
| 1112 | * StraightGay: He has a husband, Emory. |
| 1113 | * TokenGoodTeammate: While he's a loyal soldier of the Empire, Grey tries to keep some form of standards in battle, as he keeps the more bloodthirsty members of the team (Shen and Vonreg) in-check, and he visibly hesitates against attacking civilian targets. He also mentions that he has no intention of attaining power, wanting only to retire peacefully once the war is over, regardless of how it ends. |

| 1126 | ---- |
| 1127 | * AmbitionIsEvil: She sees Titan Squadron's mission as a way to gain favor and influence with the surviving Imperial leadership, specifically Admiral Sloane, who she wants to become an aide too. Rella believes that having Sloane's ear would be the best way to restore the Senate and save the Empire. |
| 1128 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She openly desires the restoration of the Imperial Senate, a relic of the Galactic Republic's devotion to democracy, but derides the Galactic Republic and the New Republic as "ten thousand squabbling voices" and seems to take a dim view of democracy as a concept. It's clear that she values the senate more as a way for wealthy elites like her family to advance their power and status than a way for the people to have a voice in government. |
| 1129 | * PragmaticVillainy: She wants to restore the Imperial Senate, not out of any idealistic desire for democracy, but because the feels the Senate as a body would have been more capable of exercising authority in the absence of the Emperor than the Moffs (who have largely split into dozens of warring sub-factions). Though the fact her parents were senators (and thus would get a share of this power if her plans came to fruition) probably had a hand in the idea. |
| 1130 | * PetTheDog: If Titan-3 takes too much damage in battle, she'll come to their aid with supplies and repair modules. |
| 1131 | * TokenGoodTeammate: For a given value of "good". She disapproves of the Empire's transition to complete autocracy and would like to see the Imperial Senate restored. Of course, this is tempered by the fact that she comes from a wealthy family of career politicians who lost their status when the Senate was dissolved, adding a layer of aristocratic selfishness to that desire. |

| 1160 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: She believes anyone who defects to the New Republic or deserts deserves death. |
| 1161 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Most of Titan Squadron is composed of professionals who see the war with the New Republic as business and treat it as such, occasionally demonstrating moral limits, like Grey openly hesitating to fire on civilians and Rella disapproving of the Empire's absolute, military-dominated autocracy. And then there's Vonreg, who revels in wholesale slaughter of ''anyone'' affiliated with the New Republic, delighting in shooting down civilian transports and attacking fleeing targets. |

He mentions that the cold makes his cybernetics ache and has fought the Rebellion for much of his life, indicating that he's one of the more senior pilots. |

Why he didn't have them replaced with fresh armor isn't explained, especially given that the Empire still has the resources to do so at this point in the timeline. |

| 1269 | |
| 1270 | An officer in command of the ''Defiance'', a flight-training ship for both the Galactic Republic and Imperial Navy. |
| 1271 | ---- |
| 1272 | * BadassBoast: He makes one to Vader after assisting a cadet with plotting a course for Hyperspace. |
| 1273 | --> '''Baylo''': They don't learn right away, but they learn. I get results. You can tell your Emperor that. |
| 1274 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In ''Literature/StarWarsTheLivingForce'', he laments how inefficient the Republic bureaucracy is and is hopeful for the day where he can serve in a formal Navy with set mission parameters, better funding, and better discipline. He gets all of that with the rise of the Galactic Empire, a totalitarian system which horrifies and disgusts him so much that he tries to assassinate Darth Vader and the Emperor. |
| 1275 | * CoolOldGuy: The man was in his 70s, but had been training cadets aboard the ''Defiance'' for nearly five decades. If that's not enough, the man had the courage to speak out against both Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, verbally denouncing the Empire as a dishonorable force of destruction under the command of a tyrant. |
| 1276 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Shows no fear upon learning his plot to kill the Emperor and Vader has failed, and instead continues to rail against Palpatine until Vader kills him. |
| 1277 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Averted. Palpatine wanted to keep Baylo alive and force him to watch his beloved Navy be turned into something he hated and have the ''Defiance'' be melted down into cafeteria trays. In fact, he wanted to use Baylo, a man who was willing to kill his own students for a cause, for his own ambitions. But that plan ended when Vader killed him without the Emperor's say so. The ''Defiance'' is later renamed the ''Obedience'' as a final jab toward Baylo as well as a not-so-subtle hint toward Vader to learn his place. |
| 1278 | * HandicappedBadass: Baylo suffered from constant back-pain due to an injury he received in the past, but never showed any signs of slowing down or letting his pain get between his duties. |
| 1279 | * KilledMidSentence: Vader kills him in the middle of his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech against the Emperor. |

| 1281 | * OldSoldier: Served the Republic for nearly fifty years, and claims to be even older than Palpatine. |
| 1282 | * TheRemnant: Baylo still remains loyal to the Galactic Republic, rather than the government that succeeded it. |
| 1283 | * ShutUpHannibal: When Palpatine tried to explain to him how the Senate voted for the Republic to be made into the empire, Baylo cuts him off entirely, stating that the Senate dissolved its pact with the people the very moment it allowed a tyrant to take over. |
| 1284 | * ShutUpKirk: When Baylo compares the Emperor's officers to mindless droids, Vader (who is a cyborg himself) immediately Force chokes the man to death. |

| 1343 | |
| 1344 | A human male from Alderaan, Nash is roommates with Thane Kyrell and Ved Foslo at the Imperial Academy on Coruscant. After graduating, he is assigned to the ''Devastator'' alongside Ciena Ree. |
| 1345 | ---- |
| 1346 | * AcePilot: Although not as skilled as Thane or Ciena, Nash still graduated near the top of their class at the academy. |
| 1347 | * BerserkButton: Mentioning Alderaan puts him on edge, but implying that its destruction was unnecessary infuriates him. |
| 1348 | * BlackAndWhiteInsanity: After the destruction of Alderaan, he becomes a fascist who "concludes" that said event was a moral sacrifice to ensure all opposition is destroyed. He's also happy that another Death Star was built so that the Empire can use it repeatedly until no one dares to challenge them again. |
| 1349 | * ComicBookFantasyCasting: The author imagined him being played by Tom Mison. |
| 1350 | * CorruptTheCutie: Started out as a nice easygoing idealist who was transformed by the Empire into a brutal fascist. |
| 1351 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Nash believes that his close friend and secret crush Ciena is a loyal, willing Imperial officer like him, never realizing she hates serving them but feels she has no choice. He also never figures out she's in love with Thane, even after she goes out of her way to save him during a dogfight. May be a case of SelectiveObliviousness given his feelings for her and his hatred of Thane. |
| 1352 | * ImportantHaircut: He used to wear his hair in several long braids. After Alderaan's destruction, he cuts them off. |
| 1353 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Combined with SanitySlippage: no one actually expects him to remain loyal to the Empire but he contorts his brain into a pretzel to make not only Alderaan's destruction justified but a moral sacrifice for the greater good. It makes him a terrifyingly loyal Imperial. |
| 1354 | * KnightTemplar: In order to cope with the destruction of his homeworld, Nash becomes an Imperial fanatic. He is even glad the Empire built another Death Star, claiming they should uses it again and again until no one would ever dare to challenge the Empire's authority. |
| 1355 | * LukeNounverber: One of many ''Star Wars'' characters who are named in such a manner. |
| 1356 | * PragmaticVillainy: He finds Dalven Kyrell's attitude annoying, but doesn't do anything bad to him since killing/hurting him would land Nash in trouble. |
| 1357 | * RankUp: Like Ciena, Nash is promoted and assigned to the ''Executor'' several months after the destruction of the Death Star. He is later promoted again to Commander in the aftermath of Endor and placed in charge of the fighters aboard Ciena's Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''. |
| 1358 | * {{Revenge}}: After learning Thane is not dead and instead with the Rebellion, Nash wants nothing more than to kill him painfully. He swears vengeance upon the Rebellion [[spoiler:after he thinks Ciena died crashing her Star Destroyer on Jakku]], even waiting with the remants of Grand Moff Randd's fleet for the [[{{Foreshadowing}} day of revenge upon the New Republic]] for destroying the Empire and replacing it with their own illegitimate peace. |
| 1359 | -->'''Nash:''' Ciena... I promise I won't let your death be for nothing... I, Nash Windrider, will keep fighting in your place. We're holding our breath right now, but we'll regain our power one day... and when we do, this galaxy will belong to the Empire once again! |
| 1360 | * StalkerWithACrush: While his feelings for Ciena are not stalkerish at first, as time goes on he seems to become more and more obsessed with her, even managing to end up as flight coordinator on the ''Inflictor'' when it is assigned to her, with him happily noting it means they will get to see each other everyday from then on. Ciena, who by that point despises the Empire, is both creeped out by and grateful for his feelings, since they are the only thing preventing Nash from realizing she no longer believes in the Empire and turning her over to the [[StateSec ISB]]. |
| 1361 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He believes that once the Empire wins, the galaxy will know an era of peace and order unlike any other, and the Empire is thus justified in doing whatever it has to in order to crush opposition. |
| 1362 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Mourned Thane's death for years, but within seconds of learning he was alive and with the Rebellion, Nash attempts to kill him in furious rage. He later decides that Thane was clearly a master deceiver who was never truly friends with anybody at the academy and probably lied about his family and past. |
| 1363 | * WideEyedIdealist: At first; he believed that one day the Empire would provide all of its citizens the high standard of living that could be found on Alderaan. After his homeworld's destruction, Nash trades his idealism for fanaticism. |

| 1379 | * BigBrotherBully: Following his father's example, he always bullied Thane. |
| 1380 | * DeskJockey: While at the Royal Imperial Academy, Thane runs into him and discovers that he's only an ensign relegated to a desk job, which isn't what he'd claimed in the messages he sent home. |
| 1381 | * HateSink: He doesn't have a single redeeming quality about himself. Even Nash, who is his superior by the time of the Battle of Jakku, finds his pompous attitude annoying (and he's also aware that Dalven is not fond of Ciena). |
| 1382 | * ParentalFavoritism: His father favored him over Thane... despite Thane being TheAce that gets into the Royal Imperial Academy ''on his own accord'' rather than ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections and becomes a high-ranking TIE pilot, while Dalven is stuck as a DeskJockey with below-average skills after graduating with poor grades from the Royal Imperial Academy.

After the loss of Endor and the fallout of Operation Cinder, Soran tried to live a new life in hiding as a common laborer Devon Lhent, on the run from the New Republic and partisans that wanted to see him tried for his crimes against the Galaxy in service to the Empire. |
| 1469 | ---- |
| 1470 | * TheAce: One of the best pilots in the galaxy, resourceful commander and skilled fighter. |
| 1471 | * AFatherToHisMen: He cares very little for the Empire's goals and focuses just on the survival of his pilots and the avenging of their losses. This gets portrayed somewhat more negatively than usual though, often taking him to MoralMyopia lengths and the people he's so keen to protect are mostly war criminals who [[IgnoredEpiphany took part in Operation Cinder and think nothing of it]]. |
| 1472 | * ArcVillain: Takes over as the main antagonist of the ''Alphabet Squadron'' series following Nuress' death in the first book. |
| 1473 | * MoralMyopia: Shadow Wing carried out Operation Cinder, remained loyal to the Empire and for the most part unrepentant afterwards and hunted down and slaughtered Wyl and Chass's fellow pilots through multiple star systems, yet when Alphabet Squadron dares to take the fight to Shadow Wing (killing some, damaging their infrastructure and humiliating the group in general) he supports a vendetta against Hera Syndulla without a hint of introspection and festers this feeling among his men. |
| 1474 | * RankUp: After his command over Shadow Wing is restored, the squadron commanders all agree that Soran should be promoted to Colonel from Major. |
| 1475 | * RedBaron: Soran is known for his kill count and extraordinary flying skill. Unlike most TIE Aces, he's also known for watching out for his copilots in combat, rather than focusing on his own life and limbs. |
| 1476 | * SkewedPriorities: Deep down, he doesn't really regret the war crimes of Operation Cinder as much as he resents the Emperor forcing that burden upon its pilots. |
| 1477 | * TakingTheHeat: He recorded a holographic message to be broadcast [[DeadManWriting in the event of his death]], taking responsibility for all of Shadow Wing's war crimes and lies, claiming he [[ForcedIntoEvil forced them to obey his orders]], hoping that they won't be tried by the New Republic on the grounds they [[JustFollowingOrders willingly took part]]. |
| 1478 | * ThatManIsDead: Soran tries to move on from the Empire and live an honest life, running from his participation in war crimes under the name Decon Lhent. |
| 1479 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: He does his damndest to live a good and honest life- he helps Yrica go AWOL after Cinder, he deserts the Empire to stop participating in planetary genocides, he even helps stops a young human supremacist from carrying out a terror attack aboard his new home ship. The New Republic and anti-Imperial elements won't let him live in peace, so he opts to return to Shadow Wing and take up command again. |

| 1489 | ---- |
| 1490 | * DareToBeBadass: He originally turned down command of Squadron 5, believing he was not leadership material and because of the rumors surrounding him. Major Keize challenged him to move past that and stated he saw in Broosh a commitment to the mission and his fellow pilots, tasking him with keeping them alive. |
| 1491 | * ProperlyParanoid: Keeps his own set of backdoor codes built into his Interceptor in case a higher-ranking officer ever turns traitor and attempts to lock him out of it. This proves a wise precaution when Admiral Gratloe tries to turn warlord and captures Squadron 5. |
| 1492 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: He has no apparent qualms about serving the Empire in the aftermath of events like Alderaan and Operation Cinder, and speaks scoldingly towards Kreize for his attempt to provide an "honorable" alternative and OptOut. |

| 1575 | * IRegretNothing: She openly states that she sees nothing morally wrong with Operation Cinder and feels far more regret about a broken promise to her father and twin sister about working at the family business. |
| 1576 | * KickTheDog: Very fond of this, first when seemingly opening up to Wyl and sharing a story about the history of the Oridol Cluster, only to end by stating that he and all his squadmates will die there. While a "guest" of the Children of the Empty Sun a little girl attempts to give her a carved statue. In response, Seedia whispers something to the girl that makes her run away crying. |

| 1596 | * ArmoredCoffins: The pilots go into combat without deflector shields or even ejector seats. They even nickname the [=TIEs=] suicide sleds to reflect this. |
| 1597 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: Like Stormtroopers, both men and women can serve as TIE pilots. |
| 1598 | * EvilWearsBlack: In contrast to the white-armored Stormtroopers. |
| 1599 | * FragileSpeedster: Although unshielded and unarmored, TIE fighters are quite nimble, and more than capable of outrunning their Rebel counterparts (except the A-Wing) in straight-line acceleration. |
| 1600 | * InterServiceRivalry: The Army and Navy have their own respective TIE Fighter units, so naturally there's a lot of animosity between the two (Navy pilots tend to get all the glory, even though Army pilots have more skill). After the Battle of Yavin, all Army and Navy squadrons are merged. |

| 1603 | * SamusIsAGirl: Female pilots are only indicated by their voices. |
| 1604 | * SpaceFighter: The Sienar Fleet Systems TIE Fighter does not have hyperdrive, shields, heavy armaments, or even life support. It is built to be fast and cheap, able to smash enemy ships through sheer numbers. |
| 1605 | * StukaScream: The very distinctive sound produced by the twin ion engine definitely counts. |
| 1606 | * SuicideAttack: At Endor, a number of fighters that are not visibly damaged can be seen deliberately flying into Rebel ships. |
| 1607 | * WeHaveReserves: An embodiment of this principle in the Imperial Navy. The Empire emphasizes quantity over quality for their starfighter corps, using large squadrons of expendable fighters and pilots to overwhelm enemy ships. However, after the destruction of the Death Star, the Empire begins to put more emphasis on the quality of their fighters, upgrading squadrons to the improved TIE Interceptor and using better training. Their performance at Endor is a lot better. |
