A commander of the First Order, who was a human, was on duty during their conflict against the Resistance. This officer was working in the main fire control area of the Command Center located on Starkiller Base when the Hosnian Cataclysm occurred. Following the obliteration of the Hosnian system, General Armitage Hux commanded that the superweapon be recharged; the officer then initiated the procedure to draw energy from a nearby star and subsequently informed Hux that the weapon's charging process had begun.
The role of the officer was played by an uncredited actor in the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, and the character's sole spoken line was delivered by Catherine Taber (also uncredited), who is most famous for providing the voice of Padmé Amidala in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
