## Biography

### Early Career

**Tiaan Jerjerrod** was a Human male from the planet of Tinnel IV and came from an wealthy-family. In his youth he attended an engineering academy until the high grades earned him his job drafting plans for warehouses. Later on, Tiaan's plan for a Ord Mantell freight depot then drew the Corellian engineering corporation's attention and Jerjerrod was hired as an starship designer. Eventually his designs led him to serve in the Galactic Empire. Eventually, he had reached the rank of Rear-Admiral by the sixth-year of the Imperial reign and was a member of Imperial Joint Chiefs. He helped create the Death-Star and told himself it could provide defense by existing and would stop attack without being used.

### Imperial Service

#### Commander of the Death Star II

Eventually, Jerjerrod became one of the Empire's Moffs. Despite the destruction of the Death Star I, Emperor Palpatine ordered construction of an Death Star II above the Forest Moon of Endor. Moff Jerjerrod was assigned to supervise the difficult endeavor of completing this Battle-Station, and was given the cover title of Director of Imperial Energy Systems due to this project's secrecy. In order to fulfill his mandate Tiaan exhausted himself day after day slaving over the plans and filing endless paperwork. Tiaan notably made sure that all exhaust ports of this weapon were heavily armored thus fixing the fatal flaw in the original Death Star. However Tiaan faced a number of problems ranging from the budget cuts and supply chain breakdowns to the shortage of construction workers. Eventually the glaring lack of progress on Death Star prompted Darth Vader, dark enforcer of the emperor Palpatine, to travel to this station to rectify the situation. Upon learning that lord Vader's transport had touched down inside one of the Death Star's hangar bays, Jerjerrod ventured to the hangar to greet the Emperor's emissary as he disembarked from his shuttle.

Feeling secure enough in his position,[3] Jerjerrod planned to show Vader his detailed daily reports, hoping that the emissary might take his side and realize the Emperor was asking for the impossible.[6]

 However, after brushing aside Jerjerrod's formal greeting, Vader bluntly informed the commander of the purpose behind his impromptu visit—the Emperor had become displeased with the Death Star's slowing construction, and Vader would see to it that the station was completed on schedule. At first, Jerjerrod protested that the task was understaffed and nearly impossible given the circumstances, but when the Sith Lord announced that the Emperor was to personally oversee the station's completion, the Moff pledged himself and his crew to a renewed effort, heeding Vader's mocking warning that the Emperor would not tolerate failure.[5]
