Freylon

Freylon was a commodore in the navy of the Galactic Empire who served as the commanding officer of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Steadfast. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, he was killed when the Steadfast was ambushed by a small Rebel Alliance fleet at the Battle of Ponolapo. Following the battle, Commodore Scaanos replaced Freylon as the commanding officer of the Steadfast, infuriating Captain Enric Pryde, who believed he should have received the command instead.
==Biography==
Freylon was a commodore in the navy of the Galactic Empire who served as the commanding officer of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Steadfast. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, the Steadfast was escorting an Imperial convoy when it was ambushed at the Battle of Ponolapo by a small Rebel Alliance fleet. Due to the Empire's recent conflict with the criminal organization Crimson Dawn, the Steadfast did not have its usual accompaniment of several Gozanti or Arquitens light cruisers, which allowed the rebels to destroy most of the convoy and damage the Steadfast, killing Freylon. 
Following Freylon's death, Commodore Scaanos replaced him as the commanding officer of the Steadfast and an obituary was created for him and stored in the "Imperial Navy" section of the Imperial Archives. Captain Enric Pryde, the longest-serving crewmember of the Steadfast, was infuriated that Scaanos had received the command instead of him. The day after the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY,The events of "The Steadfast Soldier" take place the day after the Battle of Endor, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 4 ABY. As Timelines also dates the events of Shattered Empire 1, which also take place the day after the battle, to the same year, "The Steadfast Soldier" must also take place in 4 ABY. while thinking about his dislike of Scaanos, Pryde mentally recalled Freylon's death. In 35 ABY, the historian Beaumont Kin referenced both Freylon's obituary and a file on the Battle of Ponolapo that was stored in the "Military Operations" section of the Rebel Alliance Archives when heStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary mentioned Freylon in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.
