He unhesitatingly accepted orders from his superiors and enjoyed watching his enemies die . During the Great Hyperspace War , when " Harbinger " was on a mission to acquire Lignan ore in the Phaegon system , it was ambushed by the Jedi Master Relin Druur . The ship attempted to enter hyperspace , but its hyperdrive and bridge had been heavily damaged , causing it to misjump and travel over 5 , 000 years into the future to 41 . 5 ABY . Llerd was promoted to colonel by " Harbinger " captain , the Sith Lord Saes Rrogon , and he oversaw both the reparations of the warship ' s instrumentation and the pursuit of an enemy freighter by " Blade " - class starfighters . When Rrogon discovered that Druur , who had traveled in time with them , had again boarded " Harbinger " , Llerd hunted for the Jedi from the warship ' s secondary bridge . He was killed when Druur used the dark side of the Force to destroy the dreadnaught . Biography . Mission to Phaegon III . The Human male Llerd was a lieutenant on the bridge night - watch crew of the Sith dreadnaught " Harbinger " in the year 5000 BBY . The dreadnaught served in the Sith invasion fleet of Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow ' s Sith Empire , and in that year , the Empire was fighting the Great Hyperspace War against the Galactic Republic . Sadow dispatched " Harbinger " and its sister ship , " Omen " , to the Phaegon system to obtain Lignan , a rare ore powerful in the dark side of the Force , hoping to use the ore to bolster his forces at the upcoming Battle of Kirrek . Llerd was off - duty while the two warships bombarded the largest moon of the planet Phaegon III and exposed the Lignan beneath its crust . During the bombardment , " Harbinger " was boarded by the Republic - affiliated Jedi Master Relin Druur , who aimed to prevent the ship from delivering its Lignan cargo to the Sith fleet . The Jedi damaged " Harbinger " hyperdrive with explosives , and his Padawan , Drev Hassin , crashed his Infiltrator starfighter into the warship ' s bridge seconds before it attempted to flee into hyperspace . The compounded damage caused " Harbinger " to misjump , failing to fully enter a hyperspace tunnel and traveling through time to the year 41 . 5 ABY . Away from the bridge , Saes Rrogon — one of Sadow ' s Sith Lords and the ship ' s captain — was able to use the Force to pull the ship back into realspace in an unfamiliar system , and he ordered all members of the bridge night - watch crew to the secondary bridge . Unaware of " Harbinger " new temporal location , Llerd arrived at the bridge and , noticing that the ship ' s instrumentation was down , ordered a full stop . He alerted his crew when Rrogon arrived on the bridge , and he was promoted to colonel on the spot by the captain , replacing the former colonel who had died with the rest of the regular bridge crew . Llerd was also named the acting executive officer , and he was tasked with both overseeing repairs of the instrumentation and scanning surrounding space in an effort to determine their location . After further consideration , Rrogon instructed him to order security to perform a room - by - room sweep of the ship in a search for Druur . Llerd began his assigned repair work , and " Harbinger " systems slowly came back online . When the scanners became operational , they revealed the presence of a nearby disk - like freighter and one of " Harbinger " escape pods , and Llerd was ordered to fire on the freighter by Rrogon , who suspected that Druur was rendezvousing with other Jedi . " Harbinger " weapons systems were still offline , however , and Llerd was consequently ordered to deploy two squadrons of " Blade " - class starfighters to attack the freighter . Destruction of " Harbinger " . The freighter , named " Junker " , fled into the rings of the system ' s gas giant , and Llerd relayed an order of Rrogon ' s to the Blade pilots to pursue . The ship ' s science droid , 8L6 , then informed Rrogon of the time travel that had occurred , and , wanting his crew to remain ignorant and thus focused on their objective , Rrogon ordered Llerd not to monitor or scan any local subspace channels . Llerd was eager to see " Junker " destroyed , and when it jettisoned its cargo into an asteroid , the resulting explosion caused him to believe that the Blade starfighters had succeeded . Rrogon shared his belief and ordered the colonel to put " Harbinger " into orbit around the gas giant ' s frozen moon . Llerd was also told not to plot a course to Primus Goluud , where he believed Sadow ' s fleet would still be , should the hyperdrive be fixed . The captain then retreated to his quarters , content that the Jedi had been killed . Several hours later , however , " Junker " appeared in realspace beneath " Harbinger " and penetrated its deflector shields , entering the warship ' s landing bay . Cautious of potential explosives aboard the freighter , Llerd dispatched all available security to the bay and isolated the area . He then commed Rrogon , who sensed that Druur was aboard " Junker " and had infiltrated " Harbinger " . Llerd attempted to locate the Jedi but found only a trail of bodies . Rrogon commed him back and revealed that Druur was in the ship ' s cargo bay , and Llerd prepared to call security but was halted by the captain — Rrogon would face the Jedi alone . Llerd acquiesced and evacuated all personnel from the cargo bay . Rrogon then engaged Druur in a duel of lightsabers and Force powers , but he was killed by the Jedi , who , having fallen to the dark side , drew in power from the Lignan in the cargo bay and used the Force to consume the ship in flames , killing Llerd and everyone else on board . Personality and traits . Llerd was a barrel - chested , round - faced man who served Naga Sadow ' s Sith fleet as a lieutenant . He was respectful to his superior officers and unhesitatingly accepted orders , even if they perplexed him or placed others ' lives in danger . When he ordered Blade starfighters to pursue " Junker " , he was eager to see his quarry die , and his face became flush when he believed that they had been killed . While observing Saes Rrogon tap a bleeding finger against a jaw horn , Llerd watched his captain as if hypnotized but regained his composure when Rrogon began to speak . Behind the scenes . Llerd was created by author Paul S . Kemp for his 2010 novel , " Crosscurrent " . The book has been Llerd ' s only appearance to date .
