Need an Imperial Officer

Can someone name an Imperial Officer who would be about the same age as Obi-Wan Kenobi in ANH? Not Tarkin.

I need to fill a slot in a fic...

 

Gilad Pellaeon. He's actually a very nice guy, very honorable and dignified. Although he has no problem being ruthless when the situation demands it. He's one of those characters that is easy to cheer for, no matter what side they fight for.



From the unnofficial encyclopedia...
Pellaeon, Gilad - elderly Imperial Navy Captain in command of the Chimaera, Pellaeon took the remnants of the Imperial fleet and retreated from the Battle of Endor. He had no desire to lead the Empire, but he felt it was his duty to keep the Imperial fleet together. Thus, when Grand Admiral Thrawn emerged from the Unknown Regions to take control of the Empire, Pellaeon was more than willing to turn the fleet over to Thrawn, despite Thrawn's obviously alien background. He served Thrawn well, respecting the alien's uncanny insights while providing tactical assistance when necessary. Following the death of Thrawn at the hands of his own bodyguard, Rukh, Pellaeon took Thrawn's remaining ships and fled to the Core Systems, where he came in contact with High Admiral Teradoc. The two marshalled a large fleet of Victory-class Star Destroyers, and rivaled Harrsk for leadership of the Imperial forces for a number of years. When Daala showed up and tried to combine the strengths of the feuding warlords, Pellaeon sided with Daala, who only wanted to restore the Empire. The two of them arranged a summit of all the warlords on Tsoss Station, but were forced to poison them all when they failed to cooperate. Pellaeon became Daala's first officer, and was placed in command of the remaining seventeen Imperial-class Star Destroyers. He was to be the primary attack for that assaulted the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. His attack was perfect, slipping into the system before the Jedi knew it. However, his Imperial conditioning failed to prepare him for the power of the Force. The Jedi, under the focus of Dorsk 81, used the Force to physically fling the entire Star Destroyer fleet out of the Yavin System, knocking out navigations and hyperdrives. Pelleaon was able to recover all his ships, as well as Admiral Daala's escape pod, before leaving to the system. After Daala's rescue, she resigned her command, and turned control of the Imperial fleet over to him. While he did not want to rule the Empire, this was the Battle of Endor all over again. He took the fleet back to the Core Systems to regroup. Pellaeon assumed the position of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Navy, and worked against all odds to rebuild the fleet. He spent several years trying to overcome the problems with the cloaking device, and eventually tested the Computer Combat Predictor. However, its inability to truly aid in a cloaked fight was the last straw in the back of the dwindling Imperial animal. He suggested to Moff Disra that the Imperial remnants should negotiate a surrender with the New Republic some ten years after Thrawn's death, hoping to obtain amnesty rather than execution. Although the majority of the Moffs were in agreement with the plan, Disra's own machinations kept him from wholeheartedly agreeing. Pellaeon began his attempts to contact the Republic by sending Colonel Vermel to meet with Garm Bel Iblis, but Disra captured Vermel before his message was fully delivered. Pellaeon, meanwhile, waited for Bel Iblis as Pesitiin, where Disra sent Zothip and the Cavrilhu Pirates to ambush him. Pellaeon's forces dispatched the pirates, but continued to wait for Bel Iblis. However, Bel Iblis was on a mission to Yaga Minor, so it was Ghent who actually received the truncated message from Vermel. He brought the message to Leia Organa-Solo, who agreed to meet with Pellaeon. Their initial talks were tentative but promising, and both agreed to return to their sides and meet at a later date. Meantime, Pellaeon and Commander Dreyf discovered Disra's plans, and began to press the matter with the Moff. Pellaeon eventually won out over the renegade Moff Disra, and soon signed a peace treaty with the New Republic. He assumed command of what became known as the Imperial Remnant, and maintained a distanced r

 

Admiral Ozzel looked to be about the same age, too. And Bevel Lemelisk (before he was cloned).

 

I love Palleaon! He was the baddie who I actually cheered for!

 

My personal fave was poor, beleaguered Jerjerrod, but Pellaeon or Ozzel will work quite nicely. More likely Ozzel; Pellaeon always seemed TOO nice to be a bad guy!

Thanks, guys!

 

There's also Wulf Yularen, the white jaceted admiral at the Death Star breifing, he had that thick white mustache and he looked about Alec G and Peter C age. I don't know to much about his back ground though, I only remember his name because he was in one of the Wanted by Craken sections of a West end game book.

 

Or you could create a new officer who fits the story you want to tell, if none of the established or EU characters does what you need him to. With a military as big as the Empire's, there are probably so many upper-ranking military officers that you can't swing a stick without hitting one.

 

well, you could be in a cave on tatooine, even then there wouldn't be any officers to hit there.
