Biography . This admiral served in the New Republic Defense Force during the early years of the New Republic . In 8 ABY , he was placed in command of the task force assigned to liberate Kal ' Shebbol . The planet was the capital of the Kathol sector , which was ruled by Moff Kentor Sarne , an Imperial officer who had formed his own empire following the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor four years previously . Rumors had reached the New Republic that he was in possession of exotic weaponry , and it had been concluded that Sarne ' s regime had to be eliminated . While a commando raid executed by Page ' s Commandos was conducted on the planet ' s surface to disable the planetary defense shield , the admiral led his forces into battle against Moff Sarne ' s forces . Following the successful deactivation of the defense shield , the admiral pressed his advantage and completed the liberation of Kal ' Shebbol . Sarne , however , managed to escape with the majority of his forces into the depths of the Kathol sector . With the New Republic in control of the planet , the admiral was contacted by Lieutenant Judder Page , the commander of the commando team that had deactivated the shields . He relayed information to the admiral that the rumors over Sarne ' s possession of exotic technology were true and requested resources to track Sarne down and neutralize him . The admiral , however , had to deny his request as he could not spare any ships . He had also been ordered to leave Kal ' Shebbol in three days ' time to rendezvous with Sarin Virgilio ' s forces in the Minos Cluster before heading to the Bozhnee sector to help Admiral Ackbar box in another rogue Imperial that was terrorizing the region . However , he agreed to provide some personnel for such a mission if Page could find the ship . Page did manage to find a ship — a CR90 corvette that Sarne had been heavily modifying for his own purposes , which they named the " FarStar " . The admiral , keeping his promise , authorized the transfer of personnel and even a squadron of starfighters to support the mission . However , Page was still forced to use civilians from Kal ' Shebbol to fulfill the crew requirements of the vessel . Three days after the liberation of Kal ' Shebbol , the admiral led his force to the Minos Cluster to hook up with Virgilio ' s forces as per his orders . Personality and traits . A loyal New Republic officer , this admiral was a competent commander and combat officer . He kept his word , transferring personnel and supplies from his task force to support the " FarStar " mission after promising to do so if Page could supply a ship for the mission . While he understood Page ' s need to go after Moff Sarne , he was dismissive of the claims that the warlord possessed exotic technology , writing it off as nonsense or deliberate misinformation . Behind the scenes . This admiral was briefly featured in the short story " The Saga Begins " , written by Timothy Zahn and published in " The DarkStryder Campaign " by West End Games . The admiral is never seen , but does have a conversation with Lieutenant Judder Page during the story by communicator .
