Llon Banjeer Llon Banjeer was a Human male and Imperial admiral in command of one of the Empire ' s largest fleets following the Battle of Endor . In the aftermath of the Endor debacle in 4 ABY , Banjeer allied himself with Warlord Zsinj before leading an attack on the New Republic ' s Hast Shipyards . Years later , the admiral was one of the backers of former Royal Guard and aspiring Sith Lord Carnor Jax ' s plan to sabotage Emperor Palpatine ' s clones . Banjeer , as a representative of the Imperial Navy , served as a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council under both Jax and the wealthy but arrogant Burr Nolyds . The admiral used his power to establish his nephew as leader of Baramorra and all of the sector ' s bounty hunters . A Humanocentrist and Imperial traditionalist , Admiral Banjeer disliked serving alongside the various non - Humans present on the Council . Following the assassination of Nolyds by Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor , Banjeer was the first to suggest that the culprit was Royal Guard Kir Kanos . He also suggested that the head of the Council would always be a target , and it was for that reason that the Council elected the wealthy bureaucrat Xandel Carivus to succeed Nolyds , hoping that the assassin would strike again and kill the least - liked member of the ruling council . Banjeer supported Carivus ' s nomination , commenting that at least the nominee was Human . The admiral would ultimately become Nom Anor ' s second victim , though as with Nolyds ' s murder , the assassination was made to look like the handiwork of Kir Kanos . Biography . Llon Banjeer was a Human male serving as an admiral in the Galactic Empire , commanding one of the Imperial Navy ' s largest fleets in the years following Emperor Palpatine ' s first death at the Battle of Endor . In the aftermath of the Emperor ' s death , Banjeer became an ally of Grand Moff Zsinj , warlord of the Quelii Oversector . In 4 ABY , when Imperial agents discovered the location of the New Republic ' s Hast Shipyards , the admiral prepared a fleet to attack the facility . After obtaining several bulk cruiser s from the wealthy D ' Asta family fleet and converting them into TIE fighter carriers , Banjeer assaulted the shipyards , destroying or crippling over thirty New Republic vessels — many of which were to be used against Zsinj ' s forces . Around 11 ABY , Banjeer was one of the Imperial Military officers to become a member of the Imperial Interim Ruling Council , an Imperial governing body established following the defeat at Endor . While on the Council , Banjeer represented the interests of the Imperial Navy . Using the authority of his new position , Banjeer established his nephew as the leader of the temperate world Baramorra , and , in turn , the new leader of Baramorra used his uncle ' s connections to gain control of all the bounty hunters in the sector , allowing him to keep the population in line . Admiral Banjeer , among others on the Council , conspired with the aspiring Sith Lord and former Royal Guardsman Carnor Jax to have Palpatine ' s clones sabotaged by his physician , thus paving the way for Jax ' s ascension to Emperor . After the death of Carnor Jax on Yinchorr at the hands of fellow Royal Guard Kir Kanos , the arrogant aristocratic Burr Nolyds became head of the Council , and Banjeer continued to serve under him . At a meeting of the Interim Ruling Council in De - Purteen on Ord Cantrell , during which the state of the Empire was discussed , Council member Feena D ' Asta suggested that the Council sue for peace with the New Republic . Nolyds announced that such a deal would not be made ; Jax ' s plan had paved the way for the Council ' s control of the remnants of the Empire , and any attempt at negotiations would spell destruction for them . As Nolyds departed , he proclaimed that the deaths of Jax and Imperial Army General Redd Wessel , much like Palpatine ' s deaths , had benefited all of the Council members . Shortly thereafter , Nolyds was assassinated when a message disk planted by Yuuzhan Vong agent Nom Anor , stirring upon chaos in preparation for a galactic invasion by his people , self - destructed in his private chambers . The Council members suspected that the assassin had been one of their own , but Banjeer put forth the idea that Kir Kanos was the culprit , and that the head of the council would always be a target . It was for that reason that at a subsequent meeting of the council , Xandel Carivus , a wealthy bureaucrat and native of Ord Cantrell , was nominated by the Defel Prince Za — on the suggestion of the Myke former pirate Norym Kim — to succeed Nolyds as the leader of the Interim Ruling Council . Banjeer supported Carivus ' s nomination because , in accordance with his own Humanocentrist views , Carivus was a Human . The Council members did not realize that their new leader was a puppet of Nom Anor , and thus would not be assassinated as Nolyds had been . The same could not be said for Banjeer , however . While waiting for his dinner , the admiral was fatally stabbed by Nom Anor , who used a knife bearing the insignia of Kir Kanos . One of Banjeer ' s aides discovered the body while delivering the admiral ' s meal . To prevent any further losses , the stormtrooper guards were doubled and all personnel were put on full alert . At a following Council meeting , the councilor General Immodet accused the non - Human members of the Council of being behind the assassinations of Nolyds and Banjeer . Though the members in question denied any involvement , Admiral Jeratai , who also had a seat on the Council and a fleet of his own , concurred with Immodet ' s assessment of the situation . Feena D ' Asta accused Carivus of not taking precautions to prevent a further execution following Nolyds ' s death , and that his lax attitude had been responsible for Banjeer ' s death . Using the evidence gathered from both crime scenes , head of security Lieutenant Ganner incorrectly concluded that Kir Kanos was behind the murders , having discovered that the insignia on the holoprojector used to kill Nolyds and the symbol on the knife used to kill Banjeer matched Kanos ' s own Royal Guard crest . Carivus responded by ordering that Jeratai ' s and Banjeer ' s fleets be sent out to find and capture Kanos . Personality and traits . An Imperial traditionalist and a mild Humanocentrist , Banjeer disliked the presence of non - Humans on the Interim Ruling Council and was opposed to the thought of a non - Human becoming the leader of the Council , preferring someone like Xandel Carivus — whom the Council members despised — over a non - Human . Unlike his comrades , Banjeer was not so quick to accuse a member of the Interim Council of being behind Nolyds ' s assassination , believing that Kir Kanos was continuing his vendetta against all those who had sabotaged Palpatine ' s clones .
