**Brom Titus** was a cold, arrogant officer who held the rank of Admiral in the Imperial Navy. A few years prior to the Galactic Civil War, he held command of a prototype Interdictor cruiser that the Empire was testing in the Del Zennis system, using the gravity well projectors to extract ships out of hyperspace. Enemy forces were able to destroy the Imperial Interdictor by adjusting the gravity well projectors to pull in every starship nearby when activated, but Brom Titus was able to get away in a escape pod before the ship's destruction. Due to Titus's failure, he was demoted to Commander and stationed at the Reklam Station, a junk yard that destroyed old star ships.

Reklam Station was attacked by Ezra Bridger and his rebels team, who managed to steal several Y-Wing fighters from the station before it was destroyed. Later on, after the incident at Reklam Station, Brom was made the commanding officer of the *Marauder*, an *Arquitens*-Class command cruiser. He and his ship arrived at the Jalindi relay just as a rebel strike team, composed of Ezra, Chopper and Sabine Wren, were trying to hack into the relay for the benefit of the Rebel Alliance. In the course of the skirmish that followed, Titus was killed and his ship was destroyed when the notorious rebel extremist Saw Gerrera of the Partisans arrived and blew up the Jalindi relay.

## Biography

### Service to the Empire

#### Commanding an Interdictor Cruiser

**Brom Titus** was an Admiral in the Imperial Navy who held command of an experimental vessel called an Interdictor, a prototype starship with four gravity well projectors capable of pulling starships out of hyperspace. Titus and his ship stayed in the Del Zennis system, an Imperial testing zone, where he would intercept stray patrols. During test runs for the Imperial Interdictor, Titus captured Jun Sato and Ezra Bridger aboard their blockade runner while they searched for their patrol somewhere in the Del Zennis system. He informed Agent Kallus of ISB about his catch, and, despite Kallus's warnings not to underestimate the young Jedi, Titus remained confident that he could confine the child. However, Titus' arrogance would prove to be his downfall when rebels got into the ship disguised as troopers to free the prisoners. The rebels destroyed his prototype when the gravity projectors attracted every ship nearby, causing a destructive collision.

#### Demotion to the Rank Commander

Titus was able to get away in an escape pod before the ship's destruction, however, and was subsequently saved upon the arrival of Agent Kallus as well as reminded of his failure. Following his failure to protect the experimental Interdictor, Brom Titus was stripped of his rank of Admiral and demoted to Commander. He was reassigned to overseeing Reklam Station inside the gas planet of Yarma where old BTL-A4 Y-Wing assault starfighter/bombers were being dismantled. Commander Titus oversaw a workforce of Ugnaught laborers and dismantler droids. One of the laborers Terba tried to escape but was captured and ended up at the Imperial prison on Naraka. One of the Imperial dismantler droids spotted a rebel ship and alerted Commander Titus. In response to the breach, Titus's subordinate activated dismantler droids and sent them after the rebels. After losing contact with the droids and the *Phantom*, Titus contacted Governor Arihnda Pryce, who had earlier warned him about the rebels. Despite his efforts, the rebels managed to destroy the droids and infiltrate Reklam Station. They then convinced the Ugnaught workers to help them steal Y-Wings in return for freedom.

After one of the dismantler droids spotted the rebels, Titus activated the magnetic locks and sent a squad of troopers to eliminate them. While Rex defeated the last dismantler droid, Ezra defeated Titus' Imperial Stormtroopers and made his way up to the control room. By this stage, Brom Titus had established contact with Governor Pryce who ordered him to contain the rebels until reinforcements arrived. Shortly afterwards, Ezra stormed the command room and defeated Titus' guards. The two quickly recognized each other from their meeting aboard the Imperial Interdictor. Seeing a opportunity to regain his former status by capturing the rebels, Titus rejected Ezra's demand that he release the magnetic locks. He attempted to shoot the boy with his blaster but Ezra destroyed it with his Lightsaber. In an attempt to discourage the boy, Titus claimed that he had disabled the control unit and that the only to free the ship was to shut down all power to the station which would kill everyone aboard. However, Ezra was undaunted and disabled the power. With the Reklam Station powerless, Commander Titus ordered an evacuation of Reklam Station then ran off to try and escape himself.

#### Attack on the Jalindi Imperial Relay

Brom Titus one year before the Battle of Yavin held command of the *Arquitens*-Class cruiser *Marauder*, arrived at the planet Jalindi to visit the Imperial relay there. His arrival came just as the Spectres were undertaking a mission to hack into the relay so that the Rebel Alliance could know what the Empire was transmitting through the station. Ezra, Sabine Wren and Chopper were on the relay's dish when the *Marauder* arrived, and were forced to hide behind the dish's main antenna. When Chopper, on Sabine Wren's orders, attempted to tap into the relay's secondary comm system, Chopper instead sliced into the main communications channel, picking up everything being transmitted to the station, including a transmission sent from the *Marauder* to the relay. Sabine ordered Chopper to put the *Marauder* through to the relay so the Imperials wouldn't know anything was wrong, but Ezra had another idea, and attempted to impersonate the relay's commander over the comm. When Titus demanded to know who he was speaking to, Ezra claimed to be "Brom Titus".

Incredulous, Titus had the relay's dish tilted, causing Ezra and Sabine to roll into view of the *Marauder*'s bridge. When Titus saw Ezra waving at him through electrobinoculars, he was incensed, and ordered stormtroopers onto the dish. As Ezra and Sabine fought the troopers, Sabine attempting to plant detonators on the dish, the *Ghost* came in to pick them up. In response, Titus had his cruiser's two TIE/D Defenders launched, forcing the rebels vessel to retreat. As the *Ghost* played cat and mouse with the fighters in the mist and rock pillars below, another ship, a U-Wing belonging to the rebel extremist Saw Gerrera, arrived and blasted Brom Titus' cruiser, taking out its deflector shields. Before Titus could react, Gerrera dropped several proton bombs onto the relay's dish, inviting Ezra, Sabine and Chopper aboard his ship. Titus, failing to notice the proton bombs, ordered the *Marauder* to chase after the U-Wing vessel. By the time the cruiser was in position, the bombs detonated, creating an explosion which engulfed the cruiser and killed Commander Brom Titus.
