Cilas Veckon served as an officer within the Imperial Navy during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
Early in the conflict known as the Galactic Civil War, Admiral Cilas Veckon held the position of Chief within the Imperial Navy's Recruitment office. As the war with the Rebel Alliance escalated following the Battle of Yavin, Admiral Veckon spearheaded a large-scale initiative to recruit pilots for the Imperial Starfighter Corps. His department identified proficient spacers across the galaxy and dispatched compelling recruitment communications to potential candidates. Furthermore, Veckon stationed Commanders Gunham, Zhanks and Landau on Tatooine, Corellia and Naboo respectively, to supervise intensive recruitment efforts. This recruitment drive reached its peak in 1 ABY, leading to a fresh cohort of pilots enlisting in Black Epsilon, Storm Squadron, and the Imperial Inquisition's squadron.
The character of Cilas Veckon was referenced in Star Wars Galaxies, a video game from 2003 that was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game. This game was developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts. It was eventually shut down on December 15, 2011. Admiral Cilas Veckon was featured in an in-game electronic mail message sent to players to announce the release of the expansion pack Jump to Lightspeed on October 27, 2004.
