Wieler Wieler was a Human male admiral who served in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars . In 22 BBY , Wieler and his battle group , including Wieler ' s flagship , the Star Destroyer " Resilient " , were paired with Jedi Generals Kit Fisto , Plo Koon , and Tauht . The task force was ordered to free the planet Khorm , in order to obtain the valuable agrocite mineral that was found there . After the initial Republic ground troops landed , the Separatist forces on Khorm used a weather - control station to create a storm that prevented the Republic from sending more reinforcements to the planet , leaving Wieler to set up a blockade of Khorm . Sometime later , a Separatist ship piloted by the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress broke through the blockade and was able to reach the surface , despite Wieler ' s attempts to stop it . Later , the Jedi were able to destroy the weather - control station , allowing Wieler to send in more reinforcements , which helped the Republic to win the battle . Biography . Wieler was a Human male who lived during the waning days of the Galactic Republic . During the Clone Wars , Wieler served in the Republic Navy as an admiral on his flagship , the " Venator " - class Star Destroyer " Resilient " . In 22 BBY , Wieler ' s fleet was dispatched to free the planet Khorm from Separatist control and secure the valuable agrocite mineral deposits found on the world . The Republic ground forces were led by Jedi Generals Plo Koon , Kit Fisto , and Tauht , while Wieler was in command of the Republic Navy task force in orbit above Khorm . The Separatists , however , had built a weather - control station , which created a storm in the atmosphere of Khorm , preventing the Republic from using air support . Nevertheless , the Republic ground forces were able to land , and the Jedi - led clone troopers soon captured an enemy agrocite processing facility . Meanwhile , the Separatist Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress arrived in orbit above Khorm in her starship , the " Trident " , to assist the Confederate ground forces . Wieler contacted Koon and ordered two V - 19 Torrent starfighters to prevent the " Trident " from making it to the planet . However , the storm opened for Ventress ' ship to pass but immediately closed when the Republic fighters went in , and both fighters were destroyed . Wieler contacted Koon via a hologram and told the Jedi Master that the storm had recovered to full strength and that the atmospheric distortion was close to the Jedi ' s primary objective : the main Separatist base . After a while , the Jedi were able to destroy the weather - control station , and Wieler immediately dispatched reinforcements to the planet , which rescued the Republic force from being routed . Although the Republic had taken severe losses , they were able to win the battle and secure the agrocite mines . Personality and traits . Wieler gave his Jedi officers a brief statement when Ventress broke his blockade , and the information about the atmospheric distortion was helpful for the ground forces . Although he tried his best , Wieler was unable to prevent Ventress from reaching the surface of Khorm . When the storm finally broke up , he quickly launched reinforcements , which arrived just in time to rescue the scattered Republic troops . Wieler had brown hair , brown eyes , and light skin . Behind the scenes . Wieler first appeared in the first two issues of the 2009 of the . " In Service of the Republic " was written by Henry Gilroy and Steven Melching , and illustrated by Scott Hepburn .
