==Biography==
Drelishav was an individual who served as governor of the Recopi system for the Galactic Empire. As part of the Empire's effort to remove any remaining positive perceptions about the Jedi following the Order's destruction in 19 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines the governor worked with the Imperial Security Bureau to create an implied threat of overt brutality toward Imperial citizens of any age that showed sympathy toward the Jedi. The governor saw this as the easiest way to deal with the fact that some younger children still liked to play with fake lightsabers—the weapon of the Jedi—in the street.
Drelishav's actions resulted in toy lightsabers and fake Jedi apparel, as well as anything that could be construed as such, being secretly destroyed in many homes, leaving the children to forget the Jedi altogether as they were stripped of the chance to imitate them and quickly educated about the dangers they posed while at school. In 35 ABY, the historian Beaumont Kin mentioned Drelishav in hisStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.
