Galvan, a Moff of the male persuasion, was in the service of the newly formed Sith Empire as they fought the Galactic Republic during the Cold War. As his retirement neared, Captain Lorant had become a favored officer of Galvan's; Lieutenant Pierce believed Lorant had the ability to influence Galvan to provide their squad with additional support.
Moff Galvan had a weakness for those who used charm to advance their careers. Pierce alluded to this, remarking that Galvan was "more interested in Twi'leks these days." However, this comment might have been a dig at Lorant, whom Pierce was pressuring to once again use seduction on Galvan, with the goal of securing more troops for a clandestine assault on the Bastion.
