Rolf Treidum Rolf Treidum was a Human male who served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War . During his service while stationed in the Deep Core , Treidum encountered a young officer named Kentor Sarne and became one of his staunchest supporters . As a result , when Sarne was appointed as Moff of the Kathol sector , Treidum transferred to the Kathol Sector Imperial Fleet and commanded the CR90 corvette " Lialic II " . Following the death of Emperor Palpatine during the Battle of Endor — a battle that also claimed the life of Treidum ' s only son — Treidum served Moff Sarne as he withdrew the Kathol sector from the Galactic Empire and set himself up as a warlord . In 8 ABY , following the New Republic ' s liberation of the planet Kal ' Shebbol , Treidum and the " Lialic II " retreated with Sarne into the deep regions of the Kathol sector . However , when Sarne learned that the New Republic had dispatched the CR90 corvette " FarStar " to track him down , he ordered Treidum and the " Lialic II " to return to the Kathol Outback and delay the vessel as much as possible . Although Sarne wished the " FarStar " to locate him and call in a New Republic strike force , he wanted it to be on his own timetable , and at a place of his choosing . He planned to destroy the New Republic regional forces in one fell swoop , allowing him to reclaim the sector unopposed . As such , Treidum was ordered to only stall the vessel , and not destroy it . Renaming the " Lialic II " as the " Lance of Endor " , Treidum posed as a New Republic officer to stir up resentment for the New Republic and the " FarStar " by portraying the government as a totalitarian regime that wished to bring all planets under its dominion . Treidum fooled several governments with this ruse , including the Kathol Republic and the leaders of the planet Danoor . While Treidum did succeed in delaying the " FarStar " during its trip through the Kathol Outback , he was unable to enjoy his victory as he was killed during the Battle of Danoor , when the " Lialic II " was rammed by an Aing - Tii Sanhedrim ship . Biography . Imperial service . The Human male Rolf Treidum served with the Imperial Navy forces stationed in the Deep Core during the Galactic Civil War , and met an officer named Kentor Sarne during this period . Treidum was quick to ally himself with the ambitious young man , a move that would tie his future career to Sarne ' s . At some point , Treidum fathered a son , who would follow in his father ' s footsteps and join the Imperial Military . Kentor Sarne was appointed as Moff of the Kathol sector around 2 BBY , and Treidum was transferred to the Kathol Sector Imperial Fleet sometime after . Serving under Sarne , he commanded the Corellian Engineering Corporation CR90 corvette " Lialic II " , one of several such corvettes operating with Sarne ' s forces . In 4 ABY , the Alliance to Restore the Republic engaged Imperial forces over the forest moon of Endor . During the battle , which saw the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader , and the destruction of the second Death Star , Treidum ' s only son was killed . Treidum continued to serve with Sarne as the Moff quietly withdrew the Kathol sector from the Empire , setting himself up as a warlord by taking advantage of the confusion in the Imperial command structure following the death of the Emperor . In 8 ABY , the New Republic launched an assault on Sarne ' s capital of Kal ' Shebbol . During the fighting , Sarne was able to escape into the Kathol sector with the majority of his forces , including Treidum and the " Lialic II " . A new mission . Moff Sarne learned that the New Republic had sent a single ship after him , assigned to track him down and attempt to neutralize any threat he posed to the security of the region . Unfortunately for the New Republic , the ship they had tasked with the mission , the " FarStar " , had originally been part of Sarne ' s forces . Formerly known as the " Renegade " , the ship had been in the middle of an extensive series of modifications . One such modification allowed Sarne to track the vessel ' s location at all times . Although Sarne intended for the " FarStar " to follow him , and thus bring about a larger confrontation with New Republic forces at a place of his choosing , the Moff needed to ensure that the corvette kept to a timetable of his design . Sarne ' s plan was to completely crush the New Republic forces assigned to the Kathol sector , which in turn would allow him to regain control of his former holdings and reoccupy his capital , Kal ' Shebbol , unopposed . He could not allow the " FarStar " to discover his location too early , nor dissuade them enough to force them to abandon their mission through lack of success . As a result , Sarne ordered Treidum to detach the " Lialic II " from his forces , and return to the Kathol Outback . There , Treidum ' s orders were clear — delay the " FarStar " by any means necessary , deny the New Republic any potential allies by stirring up resentment against them , but under no circumstances was the corvette to be destroyed or crippled so that it could not complete its mission . If the " FarStar " was destroyed by means beyond Treidum ' s control , Sarne expected a full report proving the captain ' s innocence in the matter . Opposing the " FarStar " . Treidum devised a plan to accomplish both tasks at once . He renamed the " Lialic II " as the " Lance of Endor " , realizing the irony in associating the vessel ' s alias with the place where his son perished . Posing as an emissary of the New Republic , he approached several Outback planets . After welcoming them into the New Republic , he then made impossible demands of the local population . When they did not — or could not — comply , he attacked them with the " Lialic II " weapons . Treidum ' s plan worked , turning several neutral planets against the New Republic . Sarne ordered Treidum to delay the " FarStar " in the Kathol Republic , a small pocket empire centered in the Episol system . Treidum ' s reconnaissance of the union indicated that the Kathol Republic ' s navy was enough to threaten the " FarStar " . Arriving in the Episol system , Treidum demanded the annexation of all Kathol Republic worlds , a fifty percent tax on products and resources , the forced sterilization of all colonists , and the replacement of all elected officials with appointed New Republic representatives . After reporting his plan and his actions to Sarne , the Moff lured the " FarStar " to the system by intentionally broadcasting his response on a wide - beam transmission that he was sure that the New Republic ship would intercept . When the Kathol Republic refused to meet his demands , Treidum attacked two of the Republic ' s " Marauder " - class corvettes , destroying one , and damaging a second , the " Bravado III " . While preparing to engage another target , the " FarStar " arrived . Treidum withdrew the " Lialic II " from the system , leaving the " FarStar " to deal with the rest of the Kathol Republic Navy . The New Republic corvette surrendered rather than provoke a confrontation , and the vessel was impounded by the Kathol Republic , and her crew taken for trial on the moon of Dayark , the capital of the Republic . Despite being confused over why the Kathol Republic considered the New Republic vessel to be a threat , Captain Kaiya Adrimetrum , commander of the " FarStar " , managed to convince the Kathol Republic Senatorial Council of their innocence , and exposed a plot to overthrow the elected leadership of the Kathol Republic by one of their own senators . Grateful to the crew of the " FarStar " , the ship was allowed on its way armed with the information that another corvette was posing as a New Republic vessel , and with the Kathol Republic as a new ally . A short time after the " Lialic II " mission to Episol , Captain Treidum , acting on the orders of Moff Sarne , ordered a " Gamma " - class assault shuttle to a specific set of co - ordinates to rendezvous with the Qektoth Confederation . The Confederation was a militant order of scientists and idealists who believed in the purity of organic technology . Sarne had entered into an agreement with them to gain some of their bioweapons in exchange for ships and their crews . The " Gamma " - class assault shuttle was subsequently used by the Confederation as a testing ground for their biochemical agent . Final gambit . Treidum kept to his mission , visiting the planet Danoor on the edge of the Kathol Rift , demanding the complete surrender of the colony , annual tribute equal to half the planet ' s gross income , and ten percent of the population to be used as slaves in the name of the New Republic . While on the planet , he secretly contacted one of the Minister s on Danoor , Waric Nane . Nane ' s political views were in line with those of Sarne ' s , and Treidum decided that he could use Nane as an ally in his mission against the " FarStar " . He told him of his true identity and informed him of the benefits of joining with Moff Sarne ' s Empire . Nane , a proponent of a totalitarian regime , agreed to consider his offer . Treidum provided the Minister with a strange trapezoid device that could be used to contact him in case of an emergency . However , Treidum requested that , if the New Republic should ever turn up at Danoor , then Nane would activate the device and let Treidum know immediately . He was then to find a way to keep them on the planet until Treidum could return . A week after Treidum had made his demands and left Danoor , the device was activated , alerting him that the " FarStar " had arrived in the system . The " Lialic II " , along with an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer , returned to the planet . Finding the " FarStar " in orbit , Treidum ordered his ships to attack . Although badly outclassed , the " FarStar " was joined by starfighters from the Danoor Resistance in defending the planet . During the subsequent battle , the Star Destroyer utilized a new weapon , known as a devastator torpedo , which obliterated a ten kilometer area of the planet and caused the Danoor Resistance fighters to disengage from the battle . However , the arrival of the mysterious Aing - Tii swung the battle in the New Republic ' s favor . They had been called by a message beamed into the Kathol Rift by the " FarStar " on behalf of the Danoor Resistance , who were their allies . The Aing - Tii Sanhedrim ship charged straight for the " Lialic II " , ramming the ship and completely destroying the corvette with the loss of all hands , including Captain Treidum . With the battle down to the " FarStar " against the Star Destroyer , the " FarStar " own fighter complement managed to strike the torpedo ' s launcher , causing a chain reaction explosion that destroyed the vessel . Despite losing his life , Treidum had succeeded in his mission , delaying the " FarStar " long enough for Moff Sarne to prepare his forces for their arrival . Personality and traits . Treidum was considered to be a talented and loyal Imperial officer who believed that the end result justified the means by which it was achieved . He was able to present an affable front when it was needed , but it was only to gain an advantage over his enemies . Pragmatic and practical , Treidum was able to use government factions to his advantage in his mission to harass the " FarStar " , such as siding with Minister Waric Nane of Danoor and offering Imperial aid to his policies in exchange for delaying the New Republic vessel as much as possible . Tactically competent , Treidum was able to successfully engage two " Marauder " - class corvettes in battle with the " Lialic II " , and was the theater commander during the Battle of Danoor despite the presence of an " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer , a vessel that had tactical superiority over his own corvette . In his early sixties by the time of his death in 8 ABY , he had dark hair that was only just beginning to go gray . Skills and abilities . Treidum was trained in the use of blaster pistols , and was also skilled in melee combat , the use of grenades , and missile weapons . Able to pilot both capital ships and space transports , Treidum specialized in Corellian corvettes . He was also able to use the weapons on capital ships — with a particular focus on concussion missiles — and was knowledgeable about their shield systems . Treidum could assist in the repair of capital ships and their weapon systems , and had training in sensor systems and astrogation . He was well versed in Imperial law enforcement procedures and security systems , and displayed a understanding of alien species , languages , other cultures , bureaucracy , business , and planetary systems . Treidum could drive repulsorlift vehicles , and repair them if the need arose . He also had some skill in programming and repairing both computers and droids . Treidum also had experience in demolitions and first aid . Equipment . Treidum favored an Imperial Munitions heavy blaster pistol as his personal weapon , and also carried a comlink and datapad . He generally wore an Imperial officer ' s uniform , but he had a New Republic uniform to don when he needed to convince the inhabitants of the Kathol Outback that he was representing the New Republic . Behind the scenes . Rolf Treidum was created for the supplement " The Kathol Outback " by West End Games for use with " " . Treidum served as the major Imperial antagonist for the crew of the " FarStar " in several adventures , although he wasn ' t encountered directly until the final scenario , " Galaxy ' s Edge " , in which he met his end .
