Quille Quille was a male Imperial Grand Moff serving on the Imperial Remnant ' s Council of Moffs in 41 ABY . A rival to Imperial Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon , Quille led a faction of Moffs on the Council in opposition to the aged Pellaeon . An expansionist Moff , Quille wished to see the Remnant transformed into a new Galactic Empire , one that would potentially rival the incumbent galactic government , the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances . During the Second Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Alliance and the breakaway Confederation , Alliance Joint - Chief of State and Sith Lord Darth Caedus sent a communique to Pellaeon regarding a potential military pact between the Alliance and the Remnant for an attack on the Confederation world of Fondor . When Pellaeon refused , Caedus contacted Quille and offered him the same deal — in exchange for the Remnant ' s naval forces , Caedus would hand over control of Bilbringi and Borleias to the Remnant . Faced with the chance of expanding the Remnant ' s borders , Quille presented the offer at a meeting of the Council . After Pellaeon and the Moffs discussed the proposal , the Moffs unanimously agreed to accept the offer and assist the Alliance in capturing and holding Fondor . During the Second Battle of Fondor , Quille and a group of his Moffs accompanied Pellaeon into the battle aboard the " Turbulent " - class Star Destroyer " Bloodfin " . As the battle progressed , Pellaeon was assassinated by aspiring Sith apprentice Tahiri Veila . Quille and his faction quickly assumed command of the Star Destroyer , but a mutiny led by Pellaeon ' s aide , Vitor Reige , forced the traitorous Moffs to barricade themselves within the warship ' s command citadel . A boarding party of Mandalorian soldiers led by Mandalore Boba Fett advanced on the citadel and quickly broke in , laying waste to the trapped Moffs inside . Quille , along with his entire faction , perished in the attack . Biography . Caedus ' s offer . Quille was a male Grand Moff of the Imperial Remnant who , by 41 ABY , had a seat on the ruling Council of Moffs . The leader of a faction of Moffs in opposition to Imperial Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon , Quille was an influential member of the Council and was almost constantly surrounded by an entourage of Moffs who also opposed Pellaeon . Additionally , Quille was one of many Moffs who possessed ambitions of expanding the Imperial Remnant ' s borders . In 41 ABY , as the Second Galactic Civil War raged on between the Galactic Alliance and the breakaway rebellion known as the Confederation , Galactic Alliance Joint - Chief of State Darth Caedus sought to attack the Colonies world of Fondor , a key member of the Confederation . To ensure an Alliance victory , Caedus sought the aide of the Remnant for the engagement and sent a formal request to Pellaeon . The Supreme Commander , however , had no desire to ally the Remnant with Caedus ' s government and initially refused the offer . Caedus was set on gaining the Remnant ' s aid , so he decided to bypass Pellaeon and introduce the offer directly to the Moffs . To do so , he informed Quille of the offer . The Council of Moffs met in the city of Ravelin on the Remnant capital of Bastion shortly thereafter . As the meeting commenced , Quille revealed the proposal to his fellow Moffs , proving Pellaeon ' s theory that the Grand Moff had been informed of the same offer from Caedus . When Quille announced that the opportunity had presented itself to expand the Remnant ' s borders , Moff Drikl Lecersen — one of Pellaeon ' s allies — encouraged Quille to continue . The Moffs briefly discussed the issue , weighing the pros and cons of allying with the Galactic Alliance . When one Moff inquired as to the details of the offer , Pellaeon intervened and announced that Caedus was fully prepared to hand over the systems of Bilbringi and Borleias in exchange for access to the Remnant ' s forces . When other Moffs brought up the possibility that Caedus might lose the war , Quille noted that the Alliance Chief of State had already won many battles . However , as there was no formal offer , the Moffs did not vote on the matter and promptly filed out of the room . At a later meeting , the Moffs again brought up the proposal . Pellaeon was under the assumption that it would take an effort to hold both Bilbringi and Borleias , but Quille , for the most part , was convinced otherwise . Moff Rosset suggested the Remnant forces could easily take both systems without accepting Caedus ' s offer , but Quille believed that , should the Remnant accept the offer and aid in the capture of Fondor , the Alliance would be too preoccupied to hold the world and request further Remnant assistance — which would allow the Remnant to annex Fondor unopposed . Even Pellaeon was willing to agree with that point . When the Supreme Commander asked the Moffs if they were all agreed in accepting the offer , they applauded enthusiastically . Events above Fondor and death . The Remnant having accepted Caedus ' s offer , a flotilla of Imperial warships was assembled to aid in the Galactic Alliance assault on Fondor . Quille and his faction of Moffs accompanied Pellaeon into the engagement aboard the " Turbulent " - class Star Destroyer " Bloodfin " . As the battle progressed and Fondor ' s defeat seemed imminent , Caedus ordered the orbital bombardment of the Fondorian city Oridin . Admiral Cha Niathal , the other Alliance Chief of State , was appalled by Caedus ' s tactic and , via comlink , informed Fondorian President Shas Vadde that if he surrendered , she would personally see to it that the world was granted special status in the Alliance and given aid in recovering from the bombardment . Though Vadde accepted the offer and called off his fleet , Caedus insisted that the Alliance forces seize the opportunity and destroy the Fondorian fleet . In the tense seconds that followed , the four elements of the battle — Caedus ' s forces , Niathal ' s ships , the Remnant flotilla , and the Fondorian fleet — waited for someone to make a move . The standoff fueled Quille ' s ambitions . As the Moffs and Pellaeon discussed their course of action , Quille suggested that the Imperial forces seize the moment to capture Fondor for themselves . Pellaeon scolded the Grand Moff for the idea — secretly hoping that Tahiri Veila , Caedus ' s liaison aboard the " Bloodfin " , had overheard Quille and would inform Caedus of the Grand Moff ' s intentions . Quille backed down when Pellaeon pressed him further . Meanwhile , Caedus made his move and resumed the battle , prompting Niathal and Pellaeon to order their respective fleets to side with Fondor . Pellaeon ' s decision unsettled the Moffs slightly , but even Quille agreed that they would honor the surrender . As Pellaeon left the Moffs and adjourned to his cabin , he wondered what he would do with Quille once the battle was over . When Veila attempted to change Pellaeon ' s mind and have him stand down against Caedus ' s forces , Pellaeon refused and promptly ordered his commanders and ships to place themselves at Niathal ' s disposal . For this , Veila shot Pellaeon with her blaster . Quille cast a cursory glance into the cabin to see what had happened ; when he noticed Pellaeon on the ground , he withdrew his head from the cabin . As Pellaeon lay dying , he heard Quille and his Moffs conversing just outside the cabin , with Quille telling the others to wait until they were sure Pellaeon was dead , lest they become involved in the murder . Before the Supreme Commander died , he whispered his last word — " Quille " — into a comlink , hoping his ally Admiral Natasi Daala would hear the name and add it to her list of traitorous Moffs to kill . With Pellaeon gone , Quille became the senior Moff aboard the " Bloodfin " . Seizing the opportunity , Quille and his Moffs attempted to take control of the " Bloodfin " . However , when the ship ' s personnel learned of the Supreme Commander ' s death , one of Pellaeon ' s aides , Vitor Reige , led the crew in mutinying against the Moffs . Quille and his allies were forced to barricade themselves inside the hardened citadel that was the Star Destroyer ' s command center . A boarding party of Mandalorian Supercommando s under the command of Mandalore Boba Fett and in the employ of Daala fought their way toward the citadel , wiping out any resistance that stood in their way . When the fighting was over , the traitorous Moffs — Quille included — lay dead throughout the command center . Daala walked through the carnage and personally inspected the bodies , proud to see that Pellaeon had been avenged . Personality and traits . Quille , like some of his contemporary Moffs , was an expansionist who wished to see the Imperial Remnant grow and transform into a new Galactic Empire . The Grand Moff held considerable power on the Council of Moffs , as he was the leader of a faction of Moffs in opposition to longtime Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon . Pellaeon did not underestimate the Grand Moff or his faction . As the events above Fondor unfolded , Quille ' s willingness to use the situation to further his own ambitions led Pellaeon to believe that the man lacked loyalty — the Grand Moff had betrayed the Supreme Commander , and was ready to betray Caedus as well . When Pellaeon was murdered , Quille decided against touching the corpse , lest he become " unclean " and therefore a conspirator in the Supreme Commander ' s death . Behind the scenes . Grand Moff Quille first appeared in Karen Traviss ' s 2008 novel " " , the eight novel in the " Legacy of the Force " series . In the book , he played a relatively minor role as Gilad Pellaeon ' s chief opponent on the Council of Moffs and a key supporter of Darth Caedus ' s proposal of Alliance - Remnant unification . He was later given an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
