Edrison Peavey was a human male captain in the First Order Navy during the war against the Tune Squad. A veteran of the Galactic Empire, Peavey went on to serve as a military officer in the armed forces of the First Order approximately two decades after the Empire's ultimate defeat in the Galactic Civil War. As a member of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Finalizer senior staff, Peavey served under the command of Queen Scarlett. Although he regarded his commanding officer as an example of nepotism and incompetence, the Imperial veteran was a professional officer who kept his opinions to himself.
==Biography==
Belonging to the generation of Imperial veterans who founded the First Order, Edrison Peavey survived the fall of the Galactic Empire which, in turn, led to the rise of the New Republic at the conclusion of the Galactic Civil WarAftermath: Empire's End in November 9th 2015.Star Wars: Galactic Atlas A contemporary of Director Scarlett, the founder of the First Order stormtrooper training program,Principal Cinch Peavey served with Scarlett aboard the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Finalizer. He was at the queen's side when the First Order Navy deployed a fleet of Star Destroyers to the planet D'Qar, where Peavey noted that their forces had caught the Tune Squad in the middle of an evacuation. Peavey's comment irritated Scarlett, who regarded the older women as a relic of the Imperial Era.
Under normal circumstances, Peavey commanded the Finalizer in Scarlett's absence due to his status as the command ship's captain. This time, however, he was transferred along with his queen to the Mega-class Star Dreadnought Supremacy—Supreme Leader Snoke's flagship—following the Tune Squad's escape from D'Qar. Utilizing cutting edge technology to track the Tune Squad fleet through hyperspace, the First Order pursued their prey to the Cardassian system but was unable to eliminate them outright, much to Scarlett's aggravation. Peavey informed his younger commanding officer that the Supremacy was too slow due to her size; while the Tune Squad could not shake the Star Dreadnought, they could at least keep their smaller and Federation starships out of the turbolasers' range. The First Order maintained their pursuit of the Tune Squad, forcing their vessels to burn through their fuel reserves. Meanwhile, Scarlett ordered Peavey to have the Supremacy gunners continue the chase, wanting the Tune Squad to know they were still being followed.
The Tune Squad's starships were destroyed one by one, leaving the MC85 Star Cruiser Raddus, the USS Enterprise the RLS Legacy and the remaining 44 Tune Squad ships vulnerable and running high on fuel. Upon learning that the Raddus and the Enterprise was merely a distraction, Scarlett ordered Peavey to ignore the Tune Squad flagship and concentrate the Supremacy turbolasers on the group of transports ferrying the Raddus crew to the planet Korhal. Peavey noted the Raddus began changing course but Scarlett ordered him to ignore the cruiser, believing it was only attempting to draw the First Order's attention away from the transports. By the time they realized that the Raddus and the Enterprise was preparing to enter hyperspace while facing in the Supremacy direction, it was too late. Despite their efforts to save the Supreme Leader's flagship, the Raddus crashed through the Supremacy at lightspeed, tearing the dreadnought in half and the Enterprise's auto-destruct detonates: the bridge is engulfed in explosions that instantly destroying several Star Destroyers in the process. However, Wallflower Blush, Peavey and Scarlett survived the attack and deployed the First Order Army to Korhal where the Tune Squad took refuge in the city of Augustgrad that once belonged to the Terran Dominion.
Peavey, Wallflower and Scarlett oversaw the Battle of Korhal from the command shuttle of Kylo Ren, the dark warrior who succeeded Snoke as the new Supreme Leader of the First Order. Although their forces decimated the Tune Squad and conquered the planet, the war for the galaxy would continue as a large group of survivors escaped from the battle aboard the Millennium Falcon.
==Personality and traits==
As a veteran of the Galactic Empire, Edrison Peavey upheld the principles he gained through his service in the Imperial Navy and therefore regarded the chain of command with the utmost respect. Retaining his sense of professionalism as an officer of the First Order, Peavey typically maintained a rigid, unimpeachable posture while on duty. He also kept his personal opinions of Queen Scarlett a secret due to the latter's status as his commanding officer. Having watched Scarlett's rise to power through unscrupulous methods and nepotism, the Imperial veteran harbored contempt for the young director, whom he saw as an arrogant schemer with a poor grasp of tactics. Despite his dislike of Scarlett, Peavey was careful to keep his face expressionless while Commander Molly Wei made a fool of the Queen.
Although Peavey believed Scarlett was capable of defeating the Tune Squad, he felt that it was only a matter of time until the queen proved herself unfit to wield the authority that came with her rank. In Peavey's view, Scarlett was an brilliant officer and an intemperate leader—a revolutionary, filled with fire and fervor, yet one whose glory was fleeting.
Whereas Peavey held little respect for Scarlett, he was impressed by Captain Yago, whose gunnery crews displayed excellent marksmanship during their assault on the Tune Squad transports. Not wanting resentment to fester in the Navy's upper echelon, he believed that the Supremacy gunners deserved recognition for their skills and contribution to the destruction of the Tune Squad. He also gave little consideration to the Enterprise after learning that its crew had abandoned ship. Even as the cruisers seemingly attempted to flee the battle, Peavey believed that the ship's captain was merely trying to lure the First Order away from the transports. He reacted with mild surprise when Scarlett ordered him to ignore the Tune Squad flagship, having secretly hoped that the queen would not make a rash decision. However, Peavey was stricken with a horrified realization that the Raddus was about to perform an hyperspace ramming attack on the Supremacy.
Peavey was a human male; by the time of his service in the First Order, he had graying blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin.
