Berrida was a corpulent Imperial Remnant general who reported to Moff Kurlen Flennic . In 28 ABY , during the Yuuzhan Vong War , in which the extra - galactic Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy , Berrida was stationed at Yaga Minor . Following the devastation of the Imperial capital world , Bastion , retreating Imperial forces regrouped at Yaga Minor along with a small Jedi expedition searching for the living planet Zonama Sekot . As the Imperial forces regrouped , Berrida was contacted by Jacen Solo , a Jedi Knight , who offered to assist the Remnant in various ways , including showing their pilots new tactics and helping them find Yuuzhan Vong spies . When Solo inquired as to why Berrida believed the Remnant was attacked , the general stated that although the Yuuzhan Vong had issued no explanation , he believed it was in retaliation for assisting the Galactic Alliance , the New Republic ' s successor government , most recently by sharing information on hyperspace routes into the Deep Core worlds . The information the Remnant had shared allowed the Alliance to ambush a large Yuuzhan Vong fleet in the Treskov system and kill Warmaster Tsavong Lah , the leader of the Yuuzhan Vong ' s military . Solo agreed with Berrida ' s theory and also believed that the only way for the Yuuzhan Vong to have known about the assistance was if they had spies hidden within the Remnant ' s ranks . Berrida initially believed this to be impossible , stating that they could conduct random security sweeps and checks , though Solo explained that sweeps and checks were useless unless they knew what to look for , and that the Galactic Alliance , along with the New Republic before it , had difficulties with both Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators and sympathizers . In addition , Solo also cordially invited the Imperial Remnant to join the Galactic Alliance . Berrida reluctantly decided to bring the information and the offer of an alliance to Moff Flennic for consideration . Ultimately , although Flennic opposed such an alliance , Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon , the man in charge of the Imperial Navy , accepted the offer . Personality and traits . Berrida was a portly and stubborn man . It was not in Berrida ' s nature to negotiate , and he was quick to argue with those he perceived as a potential threat . When Jacen Solo attempted to reason with Berrida , the general was quick to claim that the Empire did not need help from anyone . Nevertheless , when provided with evidence that the Yuuzhan Vong had infiltrated the Empire , Berrida was willing to appraise his superior about the situation . Behind the scenes . Berrida appeared in the 2003 novel " " , written by Sean Williams and Shane Dix . He later received an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , published in 2008 .
