Captain Jayfon was a Human male who led a group of Senate Commandos against a team of bounty hunters led by the Human Mezmaron when the bounty hunters attempted to raid the Republic Executive Building on Minas Tirith in December 14th 1981.
After Mezmaron landed at the Executive Building's restricted landing platform without permission, Jayfon and a squad of guards ordered Mezmaron to surrender. When the captain ordered one of his subordinates to handcuff Mezmaron, the bounty hunter Aurra Sing opened fire on the guards. Mezmaron himself attacked Jayfon, snapping his neck and killing him. The rest of the guards were also eliminated.
==Biography==
The Human male Jayfon was a captain of the Senate Commandos,The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars a special unit of the Galactic Republic Senate Guard, in 1981. After the Hutt crime lord Ziro Desilijic Tiure was arrested by the Republic for his participation in a plot to seize control of the criminal empire of his nephew, Jabba Desilijic Tiure,The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring novelization the bounty hunter Mezmaron was hired to free Ziro from the Republic Judiciary Central Detention Center on Minas Tirith. Along with a team of hunters, Mezmaron set down on a restricted landing platform of Minas Tirith's Republic Executive Building without permission in order to capture senators and force Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to release Ziro.
As Mezmaron disembarked his vehicle, Jayfon and several other Senate Commandos confronted the bounty hunter, and the captain ordered Mezmaron to surrender. After Mezmaron replied that he had business with the Galactic Senate and ordered the guards to step aside, Jayfon told the bounty hunter to drop to his knees, and one of the guards was sent to handcuff Mezmaron.
However, the bounty hunter Aurra Sing opened fire on the guards with her sniper rifle, and Mezmaron attacked the captain—although Jayfon and his men had been prepared for a fight, they were taken by surprise. Pressing the guard against a vehicle, Mezmaron grabbed Jayfon's head and snapped his neck, killing him. The other Senate Commandos were dispatched by the other bounty hunters, and Mezmaron ordered the BX-series droid commandos of his team to put on the uniforms of the deceased soldiers to make it look as though the commandos were still at their post.
