Titus Klev was a Human male born on the planet Alsakan into privilege , his father being a high - ranking veteran of the Clone Wars and his mother being the wealthy heiress of a trading company . In his early years , Titus Klev was an active participant in the Sub - Adult Group , the largest branch of the Galactic Empire ' s Commission for the Preservation of the New Order . He was one of the first enrolled in the SAGroup ; while a member , he proved to be skilled in the competitive sport known as Wegsphere , in which two teams playing in a low gravity well attempted to place a ball into the opponent ' s goal . At age 13 , Klev was sent to a special training camp on the planet Ibanjji and , after saving an instructor from a pack of wild varns , was accepted into CompForce despite being four years underage . Though Klev volunteered for CompForce Assault , his parents arranged for him to go into Observation , where he became Chief Ideological Monitor . Wanting some excitement , he applied to enter the Imperial Naval Academy , though he was rejected once for insufficient grades . However , a fellow SAGroup member bent the rules to allow him in . As a result , Titus Klev became the 37th generation of Klevs to enter the Academy . While there , he was noted as being the kind of Human that was usually featured in Imperial propaganda , and he graduated first in his class . Klev never got the chance to serve aboard the Death Star II battlestation , but in the aftermath of the Imperial defeat at Endor , he was assigned to Battle Station Operations , serving aboard Dedicated Siege Platform s . Klev participated in the siege of Wann Tsir aboard such a platform , and during the battle he discovered a Rebel agent attempting to sabotage his vessel ' s shields . The discovery of the infiltrator earned Klev a commendation and a promotion , and his peers thought that he would eventually reach the rank of Moff . By the time of Palpatine ' s resurgence in 10 ABY , Klev had been promoted to general and was placed in charge of the World Devastator " Silencer - 7 " as he led the Imperial forces during the assault of Mon Calamari , reporting to Jedi Knight - turned - Imperial Supreme Commander Luke Skywalker . Over the course of the battle , Klev sent a wave of TIE / D automated starfighter s to attack the New Republic " Imperial II " - class Star Destroyer " Emancipator " and ordered the destruction of the Star Destroyer ' s escape pods as its crew attempted to flee the dying ship . Skywalker , however , had not truly defected to the Empire — he had remained loyal to the New Republic which he had served . As a result , he tasked his astromech droid , R2 - D2 , with transmitting the command to shut down the World Devastators through the master control computer on the Imperial throneworld of Byss . When the crew onboard the " Silencer - 7 " discovered this sabotage , Klev ordered that all systems be put on override ; however , the control signal prevented any such occurrence . Unable to operate , the superweapons plummeted into the oceans below . Klev was one of the casualties . Personality and traits . As an adolescent , Titus Klev was rather skilled , excelling in the sport of Wegsphere . His exceptional abilities , combined with his saving of an instructor from varns on Ibanjji , gained him access to CompForce though underage . His grades originally prevented him from entrance into the Naval Academy , but after he was admitted , he graduated at the top of his class . He was known to be a good commander , having knowledge in both ship - to - ship combat and planetary assault tactics . Klev ' s participation in the siege of Wann Tsir earned him respect in the eyes of his peers , and along with this respect came promotions . Many presumed that Klev would ultimately rise to the rank of Moff . A step on that path was the command of the " Silencer - 7 " during the battle of Mon Calamari . His tactics were ruthless against the New Republic opposition , and he went so far as to order the destruction of defenseless escape pods during the battle . During the attempted subjugation of the planet , he was overconfident , believing the armada of World Devastators to be unstoppable , and that the New Republic X - wings could do him no damage . In the end , however , his overconfidence proved to be fatally wrong . Behind the scenes . Titus Klev made his first appearance in the and issues of 1992 ' s " Dark Empire " comic book series , written by Tom Veitch and illustrated by Cam Kennedy . He was voiced by Nick Jameson in the 1994 audio adaptation of " Dark Empire " .
