Walex Blissex

Walex Blissex was a doctor and engineer of starship design, and later a general of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, esteemed and respected throughout the galaxy. His designs ranged from mammoth warships to minuscule starfighters, and his clients ranged from pan-galactic governments to insurrectionist rebellion movements. Working for such shipyards as Kuat Systems Engineering and Rendili StarDrive, Blissex created mainstays of the Grand Army of the Republic, such as the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, and the Victory-class Star Destroyer. Blissex himself was not at ease with creating craft that could and would be used as killing machines, but he consoled himself with the fact that they were being used to police the galaxy and keep others from harm. Unable to use a computer properly, Blissex relied on assistants and his daughter, Lira. When Supreme Chancellor Palpatine made his grab for unlimited power in 19 BBY, Blissex rejected his New Order and quietly became a founding member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Lira, however, had other ideas, and essentially took her father's role in the Galactic Empire. Despite this, she was not as talented as her father, and when the Galactic Civil War broke out twenty years later, the domestic dispute between Blissex and Lira became intertwined with galactic affairs. The two would tangle throughout the war, with Lira consistently trying to trap or murder her father. 
== Personality ==
Walex Blissex tended to see issues in black and white, and apart from his refusal to comply with Palpatine's new regime, he would generally abide by the law. He was particularly disappointed to see his creations, such as the Victory-class Star Destroyer, turned into a symbol of terror by the Empire. Despite this, Blissex was proud of his creations. At heart, Blissex was a pacifist and idealist, which put him at odds with his daughter on several occasions. He chose not to speak out publicly against the reforms of 19 BBY; rather, he chose to act, which was considerably more dangerous.
Blissex faithfully served the Alliance, but he had one weakness: his daughter. The nonreciprocating love he had for her allowed Lira to lure him into a variety of traps and use him as leverage. Blissex was always hurt deeply by Lira's machinations, and even though she had attempted to kill him, he was still crestfallen at the prospect of her death on the Subjugator. When she resurfaced shortly afterwards on Cloud City, he was not surprised, but rather disappointed that she was still trying to outwit and destroy her father in the name of the Empire.
