Brom Titus Brom Titus was a human male who served as an admiral and later as a commander in the Galactic Empire ' s navy . A few years prior to the Battle of Yavin , Titus was in command of the Imperial Interdictor , an experimental Interdictor vessel that the Empire was testing in the Del Zennis system , using the ship ' s gravity well projector s to pull rebel ships out of hyperspace . Titus managed to capture the Phoenix Cell ' s Commander Jun Sato and Jedi - in - training Ezra Bridger , however they were rescued by Jedi Padawan Kanan Jarrus and Clone Captain Rex , who disguised themselves as stormtrooper s . The rebels destroyed the Interdictor by adjusting the gravity well projectors to pull in every ship nearby when activated , even the " Arquitens " - class command cruisers , however Titus got away in an escape pod before the ship ' s destruction . Following this failure , he was demoted to commander and placed in command of Reklam Station , which was later destroyed by Ezra , after the Phoenix Squadron stole several Y - wing starfighter s from the station . Later on , he was placed in command of the " Marauder " , an " Arquitens " - class command cruiser . Titus and his ship arrived at the Jalindi relay just as a rebel strike team , composed of Ezra , Chopper and Sabine Wren , were attempting to hack it . During the skirmish that followed , Titus was killed and his ship destroyed when Saw Gerrera and Edrio arrived and blew up the relay . Biography . The Imperial Interdictor debacle . Brom Titus was an Admiral in the Imperial Navy who commanded the Imperial Interdictor , an experimental starship equipped with four gravity well projector s capable of pulling starships out of hyperspace . Following Imperial protocol , Titus kept his warship in the Del Zennis system , which was classified as an Imperial test zone . On one occasion , Titus ' Imperial Interdictor intercepted a patrol from Phoenix Cell , which was part of a wider rebel network that resisted the Galactic Empire . In response , the squadron ' s leader , Commander Jun Sato , traveled on the CR90 corvette " Liberator " to investigate the disappearance of that rebel patrol . Sato was accompanied by the young Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger , who had been sent by Hera Syndulla to help Sato with his mission . Sensing Sato ' s ship , Titus ' Imperial Interdictor pulled the rebel corvette out of hyperspace . After disabling the ship ' s systems , the Interdictor pulled the " Liberator " into its ventral hangar bay , where the crew were captured by Titus ' stormtrooper s . Admiral Titus then ordered his stormtroopers to bring Commander Sato and Ezra to the Interdictor ' s command bridge . Sato tried to bluff his way out of trouble by claiming that he and his crew were from the Corporate Alliance , and lambasted the Admiral for illegally detaining them . Titus however , was not daunted by Sato ' s charade and put him in place by recognizing him as the commander of a growing rebel cell . Titus then turned his attention to Ezra , who claimed that he was Jabba the Hutt . Titus was incredulous of the boy ' s claims , and stated that , thanks to the chosen alias , he recognized him as none other than Ezra Bridger . Titus then ordered his men to take the prisoner s to secure holding cells . The Admiral then used a hologram to inform the Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus that he had captured Commander Sato and Bridger . Kallus , who had encountered Ezra on numerous occasions , warned Titus to lock him in a secure holding cell with triple guard . Despite Kallus ' warnings , Titus refused to believe that a young boy could pose a threat to the Imperial Navy . Unknown to Titus , the rebels Kanan Jarrus , Rex , and Chopper had infiltrated the Imperial Interdictor disguised as stormtroopers and an Imperial communications droid respectively . Meanwhile , Bridger managed to overpower his captors and lock them in his cell . Upon learning that Ezra had escaped , Admiral Titus ordered his crew to lock down all levels of the Imperial Interdictor and to secure the ship ' s hangar bays . He also gave his men permission to kill Bridger on sight , not wanting to prove that Agent Kallus was right about not underestimating him . The Admiral ' s problems were further complicated when he received word from his men that other attackers were impersonating security personnel , and that the rebels had also infiltrated the reactor core controlling the gravity well projectors . Despite their difficulties , Titus ' stormtroopers managed to capture one prisoner , whom the Admiral recognized as a clone trooper . He learned Rex ' s identity after having his number scanned . Admiral Titus had Rex brought to the command bridge , where he attempted to make a deal with the former Clone Captain . He praised Rex and his kind for bringing peace to the galaxy , and expressed disappointment that the former Clone Captain was working with the rebellion . The Admiral then offered to grant Rex immunity and reinstatement at an Imperial training academy if he convinced his rebel compatriots to surrender . However , Rex refused to make any deals with the Empire . In response , Titus ordered two of his stormtroopers to hold down the prisoner while an Imperial interrogation droid torture d the Clone veteran . After a brief moment of respite , Titus ordered the torture droid to have a second go at Rex . Before it could do anything , Kanan , who had infiltrated the bridge disguised as a stormtrooper , destroyed the interrogator droid with his blaster . Instead of standing his ground , the Admiral ordered his stormtroopers to deal with the intruders before fleeing into a separate chamber . After taking out Titus ' men , Kanan freed Rex and the two rebels fled the Imperial Interdictor in an escape pod . They then rejoined their rebel comrades , who had fled aboard Commander Sato ' s corvette . In response to the prisoners ' escape , Titus ordered his crew to power up the Imperial Interdictor ' s gravity well projectors . On the verge of victory , the gravity well projectors malfunctioned , having been sabotaged by Chopper , causing the Interdictor ' s escort " Arquitens " - class command cruisers to crash into the Interdictor . Titus ' warship was destroyed in the ensuing explosion , but the Admiral managed to escape in an escape pod . Meanwhile , the rebels fled into hyperspace . Shortly later , Agent Kallus arrived in a " Sentinel " - class landing craft accompanied by several Imperial Star Destroyers . When the Admiral contacted Kallus via hologram to inform him of his predicament , a smug Kallus asked him if he had had any problems with Ezra . In response , Titus nodded in embarrassment . Reklam Station . Following his failure to protect the Interdictor , Titus was stripped of his rank of Admiral and demoted to Commander . He was then reassigned to Reklam Station , a scrapyard in the atmosphere of the gas planet of Yarma where old BTL - A4 Y - wing assault starfighter / bomber s were being dismantled . Commander Titus oversaw a workforce of Ugnaught laborers and DTS - series Dismantler Droid s . One of the Ugnaught laborers , Terba , tried to escape but was captured and ended up at the Imperial prison on Naraka . There , Terba met the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka , who informed the Phoenix rebels about the Y - wings at Reklam Station . Seeking to obtain starfighter s , the rebels dispatched a team led by Ezra Bridger to spy on the base . Upon discovering that the Y - wings were being actively scrapped , Ezra decided to change the mission objective and recover the fighters . One of the Imperial dismantler droids spotted the rebels ' ship , the " Phantom " , and alerted Commander Titus . In response to the perimeter breach , Titus ' subordinate officer activated the dismantler droids and sent them after the rebel ship . After losing contact with the dismantler droids and the " Phantom " , Titus contacted Governor Arihnda Pryce , who had earlier warned him about the rebels . Despite his efforts , the rebels managed to destroy the dismantler droids and infiltrate Reklam Station . They then convinced the local Ugnaught work force to help them steal the fighters in return for their freedom . When the conveyor belt system shut down , Titus contacted Laborer 429 and threatened to throw him off the station if he did not restart the machine . After one of the Imperial dismantler droids spotted the rebels , Titus activated the magnetic locks on the Y - wings and sent a squad of stormtroopers to eliminate them . While Rex defeated the last dismantler droid , Ezra defeated Titus ' stormtroopers and made his way up to the control room . By this stage , Titus had established contact with Governor Pryce , who ordered him to contain the rebels until reinforcements arrived . Shortly afterwards , Ezra stormed the command room and defeated Titus ' guards . The two quickly recognized each other from their earlier encounter aboard the Imperial Interdictor . Seeing a chance to regain his former status by capturing the rebels , Titus rejected Ezra ' s demand that he release the magnetic locks . He attempted to shoot the boy with his blaster , but Ezra destroyed it with his lightsaber . In an attempt to discourage Ezra , Titus claimed that he had disabled the control unit and that the only to free the ship was to shut down all power to the station , which would kill everyone aboard . However , Ezra was undaunted and disabled the power . With Reklam Station powerless , Titus ordered an evacuation of the station , then ran off to try and escape himself . " Chimaera " . Titus was later seen on board the " Chimaera " being escorted away from the office of Grand Admiral Thrawn by a pair of stormtroopers , along with Captain s Brunson and Slavin . The three had been interviewed by the Grand Admiral as part of his investigation into the identity of a rebel spy in the local Imperial ranks . The group was passed by Lieutenant Yogar Lyste and Agent Kallus . The former referred to the trio as officers of the Lothal Sector ' s Command staff . The Jalindi relay . In 1 BBY , Titus , by now in command of the " Arquitens " - class cruiser " Marauder " , arrived at the planet Jalindi to visit the Imperial relay there . His arrival came just as the Spectres were undertaking a mission to hack into the relay so that the Rebel Alliance could know what the Empire was transmitting through the station . Ezra , Sabine Wren and Chopper were on the relay ' s dish when the " Marauder " arrived , and were forced to hide behind the dish ' s main antenna . When Chopper , on Sabine ' s orders , attempted to tap into the relay ' s secondary comm system , he instead sliced into the main communications channel , picking up everything being transmitted to the station , including a transmission sent from the " Marauder " to the relay . Titus was requesting docking clearance from the outpost . Sabine ordered Chopper to put the " Marauder " through to the relay so the Imperials wouldn ' t know anything was wrong , but Ezra had another idea , and attempted to impersonate the relay ' s commander over the comm . Affecting an accent , he claimed that the " Marauder " had not been expected until the following rotation , and that their early arrival was causing difficulties . Ezra finished off by asking the ship to come back the next day . When Titus demanded to know who he was speaking to , Ezra claimed that he was " Commander Brom Titus " . Incredulous , Titus had the relay ' s dish tilted , causing Ezra and Sabine to slide into view of the " Marauder " bridge . When Titus saw Ezra waving at him through electrobinoculars , he was incensed , and ordered stormtroopers onto the dish . As Ezra and Sabine fought the troopers , Sabine attempting to plant detonators on the dish , the " Ghost " came in to pick them up . In response , Titus had his cruiser ' s two TIE / D Defender s launched , forcing the rebel vessel to retreat . As the " Ghost " played cat and mouse with the fighters in the mist and rock pillars below , another rebel ship , a U - wing belonging to Saw Gerrera ' s extremist Partisans , arrived and blasted Titus ' cruiser , taking out its deflector shield s . Before Titus could react , Gerrera dropped several proton bomb s onto the relay ' s dish , inviting Ezra , Sabine and Chopper aboard his ship . Titus , failing to notice the proton bombs , ordered the " Marauder " to chase after the U - Wing . By the time the cruiser was in position , the bombs detonated , creating an explosion which engulfed the cruiser and killed Titus . Personality and traits . Admiral Brom Titus was a cold and arrogant Imperial Navy officer who took pride in his experimental Imperial Interdictor and desired to use it to combat the growing rebellion . While Titus was not fooled by his rebel captives Commander Sato and Ezra Bridger ' s charades , he underestimated the young Bridger and refused to believe that the teenager could pose a threat to the entire Imperial Navy . Titus was also sadistic and willing to torture the former Clone Captain Rex to death for spurning his offer of rejoining the Empire . Due to his failure to stop the Lothal rebels and Rex from destroying the Imperial Interdictor , Titus was demoted to Commander and was reassigned to managing the Imperial junkyard at Reklam Station . He was tasked with overseeing a workforce consisting of Ugnaught laborers . Based on his conversation with Laborer 429 , Titus appeared to be able to understand the Ugnaught language . Titus appeared to be a harsh boss and threatened to throw 429 off of Reklam Station if he did not repair the malfunction . Ever since the incident on the experimental Interdictor , Titus wished to regain his former rank and sought vengeance against Ezra . Titus was visibly enraged when Ezra impersonated him at the Jalindi relay and sought to destroy the young rebel . However , Titus was ambushed and killed by Saw Gerrera , the leader of the extremist Partisans . Skills and abilities . Despite being a high - ranking Imperial Military officer , Brom Titus appeared to have no combat skills . When he was ambushed by the Jedi Kanan , who had come to rescue his comrade Rex , Titus did not stand his ground and instead fled to another chamber while ordering his men to kill the intruders . On another occasion , he attempted to repel Ezra with his blaster but the young Jedi destroyed his weapon with his lightsaber and knocked him to the ground . Behind the scenes . Brom Titus first appeared in the seventh episode of the second season of " Star Wars Rebels " , " Stealth Strike , " and was voiced by Derek Partridge . He later reappeared in the third season ' s premiere episode " " , as well as in the fourth season episode " In the Name of the Rebellion " .
