In 18 BBY , Bergon , along with Imperial Security Bureau Commander Jordo and Major Rantu , assisted Governor Wilhuff Tarkin in military operations on Mon Cala . After Rantu ' s forces were eliminated , Bergon led the assault against Ackbar ' s forces , but was killed when her skybase was destroyed . Biography . Bergon was a human female that served as a colonel in the armed forces of the Galactic Empire . In 18 BBY , Bergon was present aboard the bridge of the Star Destroyer " Sovereign " in orbit of the planet Mon Cala with Commander Jordo , Major Rantu , and Governor Wilhuff Tarkin . Bergon questioned as too why they were planning a multi - stage complex assault when they could just use the XX - 9 ' s to bombard the planet , Tarkin responded that they were an Empire and the power of an Empire what was it controlled rather than what it destroyed , he also added that Mon Cala was a valuable world and that they would not destroy it . When the shuttle of Imperial ambassador Telvar was shot down , killing all aboard , Tarkin told a lieutenant to inform Bergon that she was to begin her phase of the operation . After the Battle of Dac City and overall Imperial assault of Mon Cala commenced , King of Mon Cala Lee - Char had fully evacuated his people from all surface cities , and subsequently deployed enormous ocean creatures which jumped above the ocean surface and crashed down near all Mon Cala surface cities , destroying them and all Imperial forces . Since Major Rantu was coordinating the invasion from a command center in Dac City , he was presumed lost . As a result , Tarkin informed Bergon that she was responsible for the next wave of the assault . Bergon accepted , and stated that she could deploy aerial landing platforms , that way Imperial Military forces would not be at risk of another devastating attack . She noted that conducting an underwater campaign from sky - bases would be difficult , but informed Tarkin that they would complete the objective . After deploying the sky - bases , Bergon coordinated from one in the northern hemisphere . After speaking with Tarkin , Bergon ascertained that Raddus was orchestrating resistance and consolidating his reefships in the polar regions of the southern hemisphere . Preferring not to divide her forces , she decided that she would eliminate Ackbar in the northern hemisphere . Tarkin warned her not to underestimate Raddus , but she remained confident that the enemy posed no threat . Before she could even finish her report to Tarkin , Ackbar ' s forces launched a surprise attack from underwater . Bergon scoffed at Ackbar for leading the attack personally and ordered an officer to scramble their TIE fighters , insisting that the attacking Mon Calamari wouldn ' t get anywhere near the base . As the TIEs moved to intercept , Ackbar ' s forces dove back below the surface , and drew closer to the sky - base until positioned directly underneath . Overwhelmed , the TIEs failed to prevent the attackers from launching clusters of missiles , which penetrated the deflector shield s . Bergon ordered her crew to shoot them down , but the sheer number of missiles proved to be too many for their targeting systems . Realizing her fate had been sealed , Bergon could only utter " no " as the sky - base erupted into flames , fractured , and crashed into the sea below , killing Bergon and her crew . Legacy . Following the death of Bergon , a lieutenant informed Tarkin on the situation and how the Mon Cala forces were able to destroy the sky - base . Annoyed that this was another military tactic not discovered by Commander Jordo and the ISB , Tarkin ordered that Jordo be given a set of stormtrooper armor and be sent to the surface personally . Tarkin then stated that he sought to escalate the war , as two more Star Destroyers arrived over the planet . Personality and traits . As a firmly militaristic but ultimately short - sighted tactician , Bergon firmly believed in overwhelming force as the simplest and most effective means of neutralizing any threats to the Empire ' s sovereignty . A bold and outspoken officer , she questioned Tarkin ' s plans during the pacification of Mon Cala . She preferred to command from behind the lines and not enter battle herself . When presented with the challenge of coordinating the next Imperial assault wave from sky - bases , she noted that it would prove difficult , although she felt confident that her forces would get the job done . She displayed her non - human prejudices by derisively referring to the Mon Calamari and Quarren as " finners " and suggested devastating Mon Cala by orbital bombardment . She greatly underestimated the Mon Calamari and Ackbar , who she dismissed as an " idiot " for leading his forces in battle personally . In the end she would perish for her arrogance when Ackbar ' s forces overwhelmed her own . Behind the scenes . Bergon made her debut in the canon 2018 comic " " , written by Charles Soule and pencilled by Giuseppe Camuncoli .
