The heavyset man named Berrida functioned as a general within the Imperial Remnant, and it's said he answered directly to Moff Kurlen Flennic. Following the devastating surprise attack by the Yuuzhan Vong on the Imperial capital planet of Bastion during the Yuuzhan Vong War in 28 ABY, Berrida was approached by Jedi Knight Jacen Solo, who proposed providing assistance to the Remnant. Solo's proposals included aiding the Remnant in identifying Yuuzhan Vong spies, instructing their pilots in novel combat strategies, and extending an invitation for the Remnant to join the Galactic Alliance. Hesitantly, Berrida resolved to present the offer of assistance and the invitation to ally to Moff Flennic.
Berrida, a stout general in the Imperial Remnant, reported to Moff Kurlen Flennic. In the year 28 ABY, during the Yuuzhan Vong War, when the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, Berrida found himself stationed at Yaga Minor. After the destruction of the Imperial capital world, Bastion, retreating Imperial forces, along with a small Jedi team searching for the living planet Zonama Sekot, gathered at Yaga Minor.
While Imperial forces regrouped, Jacen Solo, a Jedi Knight, contacted Berrida, offering to help the Remnant in several ways. These included teaching their pilots new combat techniques and helping them to uncover Yuuzhan Vong spies. When Solo questioned Berrida about why he thought the Remnant was attacked, the general said that even though the Yuuzhan Vong had not given a reason, he believed it was revenge for helping the Galactic Alliance, the New Republic's replacement, most recently by sharing information about hyperspace routes into the Deep Core systems. The information provided by the Remnant enabled the Alliance to ambush a large Yuuzhan Vong fleet in the Treskov system and eliminate Warmaster Tsavong Lah, the Yuuzhan Vong's military leader.
Solo concurred with Berrida's theory and also suggested that the Yuuzhan Vong could only have known about the assistance if they had spies within the Remnant. Berrida initially dismissed this as impossible, saying that they could do random security sweeps and checks, but Solo explained that sweeps and checks were useless unless they knew what to look for, and that both the Galactic Alliance and the New Republic before it had struggled with Yuuzhan Vong infiltrators and sympathizers. Furthermore, Solo extended a friendly invitation for the Imperial Remnant to join the Galactic Alliance. Berrida reluctantly chose to take the information and the alliance offer to Moff Flennic for his consideration. In the end, even though Flennic was against such an alliance, Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, the head of the Imperial Navy, accepted the proposal.
Berrida possessed a stout build and a stubborn disposition. Negotiation was not Berrida's strength, and he was quick to argue with those he considered a potential threat. When Jacen Solo tried to reason with Berrida, the general quickly stated that the Empire did not need help from anyone. However, when presented with evidence that the Yuuzhan Vong had infiltrated the Empire, Berrida was willing to inform his superior about the situation.
Berrida made an appearance in the 2003 novel The New Jedi Order: Force Heretic I: Remnant, authored by Sean Williams and Shane Dix.
