Delurin Delurin was a tall , powerfully built Human male . He was a Moff . Biography . During his time as an Imperial Moff , Delurin oversaw the construction of the prototype " Dragon " - class heavy cruiser , the " Galaxy Dragon " , and was in command of it during its final test run . The ship left the Imperial - controlled Kuat Drive Yards assembly line in the remote Karavis system and headed straight for the planet , Miko . As soon as the ship exited hyperspace , Delurin watched as the prototype ship crushed Miko ' s inhabitants . The Mikoan s had refused to bow to Emperor Palpatine ' s will , and so they were made an example of . Then , the report of Emperor Palpatine ' s death came over the comm system . The signal was weak , its images broken and choppy , but the words came through loud and clear . " This is Captain Pellaeon , commanding officer of the Star Destroyer " Chimaera " , " the static - streaked holo image proclaimed with a shaky voice . " The Emperor is dead . The remnants of the Imperial fleet is retreating from the Endor system . The Rebellion has won this battle , but it has not won the war . " The message ended , informing all Imperial forces to regroup at a secure installation in the Core Worlds . Delurin , however , did not listen to the order . With the Emperor dead , he decided it was time for a new leader to step forward and grasp the reins of the Empire . Delurin decided that the leader should be he , and that his flagship would be the Dragon cruiser rumbling beneath his feet ; his flagship , the " Galaxy Dragon " . Delurin immediately proclaimed himself Warlord of Wild Space , a title he made for himself , and set out immediately for the Svekk system . Once there , he conquered the planet Bormter with little problem . The planet would provide him with everything he needed to establish a power base and supply point for his ship and crew . The Bormterran s became the source for Delurin ' s special Dragon trooper s . These troopers were extremely loyal to Warlord Delurin , and were eager to fulfill his will in any way possible . He was known to have created ornate armor both for himself and for his Dragon Troopers , in order to inspire fear in any who saw them . Warlord Delurin was in constant conflict with the remains of the Galactic Empire as often as he was with the forces of the New Republic . Though he hated the Republic with passion ( he still referred to them as the Rebellion , a characteristic he shared with many Imperials ) , he also believed he was destined to be ruler of the Empire , and so any Imperials who disagreed were marked as enemies . Although he would try to eliminate any of his enemies , he was not usually stupid enough to attack a stronger enemy head on , preferring to mark them for future elimination . He was content for some time to simply rule the frontier systems of Wild Space , though he always had his eyes on the Emperor ' s vacant throne on Coruscant . Under the command of Delurin , the " Galaxy Dragon " was known to have attacked a New Republic diplomatic ship . He caused the ship to crash land on a strange planet in the uncharted regions of Wild Space , where Delurin and his men followed them . Fortunately for the diplomat , a team of Rebels located and rescued him before the Dragon Troopers managed to capture them . After this , the diplomat headed toward the planet Miko , to arrange for the Mikoans to join the Republic . Delurin came on board the Dragon to put an end to this , but a joint Mikoan / Republic force managed to repel the Dragon and his Dragon Troopers from the planet . Delurin was also known to have ordered the Dragon to attack the pleasure cruiser " Wendiri Nightstar " , and demanded that all occupants surrender and place the vessel under his command . However , upon trying to board he was repelled by a group of passengers who managed to hold back his Dragon Troopers long enough for the " Nightstar " to get her hyperdrive engines operational again , and managed to flee into hyperspace .
