Grand Moff Dureya held a prestigious position within the Galactic Empire as a high-level Regional Governor.
Those under his command, such as Lieutenant Davith Sconn, frequently observed his displays of short-tempered conduct. A particularly infamous instance occurred when Gra Ploven, a planet located within his priority sector, did not fulfill its required quota for the Imperial war machine. In response, Dureya commanded the Star Destroyer Forger to inflict punishment upon the indigenous Ploven population. This was achieved by bombarding the planet's oceans, resulting in the generation of scalding vapors that caused the deaths of two hundred thousand of the aquatic inhabitants across three seaside settlements.
Despite the Empire's initiation of legal proceedings in response to this brutal action, it was Lieutenant Sconn, the executive officer of the Forger, who faced the consequences, instead of the Grand Moff who issued the directive.
