A naval officer , he was captain of the MC140 " Scythe " - class main battle cruiser " Indomitable " during the Sith – Imperial War of 127 – 130 ABY . The " Indomitable " served as the flagship of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet , under the command of Admiral Gar Stazi . During the final engagement of the Sith – Imperial War — the Battle of Caamas in 130 ABY — Stazi took elements of the Core Fleet and began a resistance against the combined forces of the Fel Empire and the One Sith rather than surrender . Yorub accompanied the admiral into self - imposed exile . Over the course of the next seven years , Yorub served Stazi as an aide and confidante while the Core Fleet continued to embody the ideals of the Galactic Alliance . In 137 ABY , Yorub and Stazi planned the theft of the " Imperious " , the prototype vessel of the new " Imperious " - class Star Destroyer line , being constructed at the shipyards orbiting the planet Dac . During the subsequent engagement , the " Indomitable " suffered crippling damage and Yorub was injured . Although Stazi was prepared to sacrifice himself in a suicide attack — by crashing the " Indomitable " into the shipyards — Yorub knew that the Alliance could not survive without the Duros admiral . He ordered Lieutenant Jhoram Bey , commander of the elite Rogue Squadron , to evacuate the admiral from the " Indomitable " , which the Weequay achieved by striking Stazi and rendering him unconscious . With Stazi clear of the " Indomitable " , Yorub guided the vessel into the shipyards , sacrificing his own life by triggering an explosion that destroyed the ship and a third of the docks . Biography . Serving the Galactic Alliance . Jaius Yorub was a male Sullustan career officer serving in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force during the years leading up to the Sith – Imperial War . Yorub achieved the rank of captain , and commanded the MC140 " Scythe " - class main battle cruiser " Indomitable " , the flagship of Duros Admiral Gar Stazi . The " Indomitable " was part of the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet , the military formation tasked with protecting the capital planet of Coruscant and the surrounding Core Worlds . The Battle of Caamas . Yorub served throughout the Sith – Imperial War — a conflict fought between the Galactic Alliance and the combined forces of the Fel Empire and One Sith — acting as an aide to Admiral Stazi as well as commanding his flagship . He was present at a meeting of the Galactic Alliance ' s Triumvirate in 130 ABY when Rear Admiral Piers Petan revealed a plan to strike at a secret meeting between Emperor Roan Fel and delegations from the Chiss Ascendancy and the Hapes Consortium near the planet Caamas . Petan ' s battle plan called for a major strike at the meeting , including using the Core Fleet as part of the assault force , a move that would strip Coruscant ' s defenses . Although Admiral Stazi believed that the information had been fed to them , and that it was a trap , the Triumvirate approved Petan ' s plan . As the meeting broke up , Stazi and Yorub made preparations to keep a " back door " open at Caamas , by using hyperspace routes known only to spacers . During the subsequent Battle of Caamas , Stazi ' s fears were proved right as the Alliance forces were engaged by an Imperial fleet under the command of Grand Admiral Morlish Veed . At the same time , the Sith feinted at Coruscant , holding the forces of the Jedi Order and stopping them from reinforcing the Alliance fleet at Caamas . Captain Yorub reported this news to Admiral Stazi shortly before Rear Admiral Petan broadcast to the fleet that he had agreed to terms of surrender with Grand Admiral Veed , and that the Alliance forces were to stand down . Yorub expressed the opinion that all was lost , and that the Empire would be installed on the capital inside a day . Stazi , however , refused to surrender , and broadcast to all Alliance forces that any unit wishing to join him in continuing to resist the Sith and the Empire was to form up with the " Indomitable " . Yorub noted that some Alliance ships and fighters were joining with them ; Stazi ordered him to use the " Indomitable " to cover those vessels that had suffered heavy damage . Yorub complied , and also patched through a hologram of Admiral Nict , commander of the " Pride of Corellia " . Stazi informed his fellow officer that he intended to use hyperlanes known to spacers to escape Caamas . As the fleet prepared to jump , Yorub reported that the " Pride of Corellia " had taken a fatal hit and had been destroyed . Stazi noted that there would be time to mourn later , and ordered the fleet to jump into hyperspace . Resisting the Sith . Following the Battle of Caamas , Admiral Stazi continued to resist the Sith Empire with the forces available to him . Yorub remained in command of the " Indomitable " , and served as Stazi ' s advisor and confidante . In 137 ABY , Yorub attended a meeting between Stazi and Monia Gahan , a Mon Calamari member of Rogue Squadron — the Galactic Alliance ' s elite starfighter squadron — and niece of former Galactic Alliance Triumvir Gial Gahan . Stazi intended to capture the " Imperious " , the first vessel of the new " Imperious " - class Star Destroyer line being built in the shipyards around the water world of Dac , the homeworld of the Mon Calamari and Quarren races . Stazi had dispatched Gahan to convince her uncle to aid them in their effort . Stazi wanted the vessel to increase his force ' s military capability , as well as deny its use to the Sith Empire . Gahan informed Stazi and Yorub that her uncle would aid them , giving them the security codes to the planetary and shipyard defense networks . When Yorub asked about her uncle ' s intentions after the Alliance completed their mission , Gahan told the two officers that he intended to stay behind and take the blame for the incident himself . After dismissing Gahan , Stazi asked Yorub his opinion on the entire mission . The Sullustan told him it sounded a lot like the previous incident at Caamas , to which the Duros admiral agreed . They both felt that the " Imperious " had been used as bait in a trap , one set by Imperial Admiral Dru Valan , who had failed to stop Stazi ' s retreat from the Battle of Caamas and who carried a personal grudge . Yorub voiced his concerns , and told Stazi that they should not risk their forces as they were all that remained of the Galactic Alliance . The admiral , however , refused to consider that option , feeling that , for the Alliance to survive at all , they needed the " Imperious " to make military strikes or risk becoming another pirate fleet . Despite this , he noted that if one knew where a trap lay , then it was possible to make it work for you , rather than against you . Battle of Dac . Stazi laid out his plan for capturing the " Imperious " ; Gial Gahan would deactivate the planetary and shipyard defenses , while Galactic Alliance Core Fleet Commando s stormed the Star Destroyer and subdued its crew . Once the capture was completed , Stazi intended to jump in with elements of the Core Fleet to secure the prize and escort it to safety . However , he also expected Admiral Valan to anticipate his tactics , and to counter them accordingly by retaking control of both the defense network and the " Imperious " . In response , Stazi placed Monia Gahan on the Mon Calamari Shipyards with remote access to the defense networks , ready to bring them under Alliance control at the proper time . Hondo Karr — a former Imperial stormtrooper with the 407th who defected following the Battle of Borosk — led a second force of commandos disguised as Imperial troopers onto the " Imperious " , posing as the units intending to take back the Star Destroyer from the Alliance assault force . With all of his pieces in place , Stazi led the Core Fleet to Dac . Yorub commanded the " Indomitable " from his side , was present on the bridge as the ship reverted from hyperspace , and listened as Admiral Valan called for Stazi ' s surrender , believing that he had trapped the Alliance fleet between his own Outer Rim Third Fleet and the shipyard defenses . Stazi ordered the Core Fleet to attack the Imperial fleet , with the " Indomitable " leading the charge . Admiral Valan ordered the shipyard defenses to target Stazi ' s fleet , unaware that the Alliance had regained control of them . The combined fire from the Core Fleet and the shipyards heavily damaged several vessels in the Imperial formation . Yorub monitored the battle as it unfolded , relaying the information to Stazi that Karr ' s team had regained control of the " Imperious " , and that their own shields were failing . Stazi ' s response was to order the " Imperious " to make for the rendezvous point , and to take the " Indomitable " and the fleet behind the shipyards , using them as a shield between Valan ' s fleet and their own . Yorub complied with both orders . Taking cover behind the docks , Stazi ordered Yorub to relay instructions to the fleet to move around Dac , using the planet as a shield before jumping to hyperspace while they remained in position with the " Indomitable " to cover the withdrawal . Admiral Valan , believing that Stazi ' s death would signal a death knell for the Alliance , ordered his forces to fire " through " the docks to strike at the " Indomitable " . The vessel took several crippling hits along its forward blade , and an explosion on the bridge injured Yorub , throwing him backwards off the command pedestal . Stazi came to Yorub ' s aid , intending to get the Sullustan some help before enacting the last part of his battle plan . He intended to detonate the " Indomitable " in the heart of the shipyards , crippling warship production ; to this end , he ordered the crew to turn over all command and control functions to the bridge , and then abandon ship . However , Rogue Squadron leader Jhoram Bey had returned to the vessel after losing communication with the Admiral . Stazi intended to remain on the " Indomitable " to the end , and sacrifice himself . He ordered Bey to evacuate Yorub in his CF9 Crossfire starfighter . Yorub , however , refused to go , believing that Stazi — as a symbol of the Alliance — needed to remain alive to lead their forces . He believed that Stazi held the Alliance together , that others would rally to him , and that his death would shake the Core Fleet to its foundations . Yorub intended to take the " Indomitable " in , but Stazi still refused , believing that the task should fall to him as the commanding officer , and not taking the idea of himself being a symbol as important . Yorub turned to Bey , and ordered him to " do his duty ; " Bey complied , punching the admiral and knocking him unconscious . As Bey evacuated Stazi in his starfighter , Yorub took control of the " Indomitable " . Broadcasting his resolve and commitment to the Galactic Alliance , Yorub crashed the vessel into the shipyards . The resulting explosion destroyed the ship and killed Yorub , but the Alliance force was able to withdraw with the " Imperious " . Legacy . Yorub ' s sacrifice resulted in a third of the Mon Calamari Shipyards being destroyed , with a further quarter heavily damaged . Admiral Stazi estimated that it would take several years for the Empire to recover its productivity at the docks . Stazi ' s survival was of paramount importance to the Galactic Alliance , as the Duros had become seen as the heart of the movement . Yorub ' s death meant that Stazi needed a replacement for his second - in - command , promoting Jhoram Bey to the post , partially as a punishment for striking a superior officer . The successful capture of the " Imperious " , along with the successful rescue of Alliance personnel by Imperial Knight s Sigel Dare and Treis Sinde from detention centers on Dac in the aftermath of the battle , was instrumental in setting the foundations of an alliance between the Core Fleet and Emperor Roan Fel ' s Empire - in - exile . Yorub ' s sacrifice did have a negative impact , however ; Darth Krayt took note of the Mon Calamari ' s assistance in the theft of the " Imperious " . Although Gial Gahan protested that he acted alone , Krayt punished the entire Mon Calamari race by initiating an extermination program against them for their collaboration . Personality and traits . Jaius Yorub had black hair and eyes , and was a being dedicated to the ideals of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances . During the Sith – Imperial War , he served with diligence , and accompanied Admiral Stazi into self - imposed exile following the Battle of Caamas to preserve a remnant of the Galactic Alliance . Yorub and Stazi had a close working relationship to the point of being on first name terms with each other despite their rank difference . Yorub served as Stazi ' s chief advisor , and used his cautious nature to counter the Duros admiral ' s bold behavior . He knew that Stazi was more than just the leader of the Galactic Alliance ; he was also its heart , and a symbol that others rallied to . He feared that the loss of Stazi would doom the remnants of the Alliance . To this end , he sacrificed his own life to preserve Stazi ' s , even when offered the chance of rescue , knowing that the Alliance would survive without him . Skills and abilities . Yorub was a competent and effective commander , fully versed in combat tactics and strategies and how best to apply them to any given situation .
