Gunham held the rank of Commander and served as the Imperial Pilot Coordinator within the Imperial Navy.
In the year 1 ABY, Gunham's assignment placed him at the Bestine capital city located on the planet Tatooine. His primary duty involved managing the enlistment of new pilots as part of Admiral Veckon's ambitious initiative to expand the pilot corps. He also occasionally handled the paperwork for pilots requesting to leave their positions, though he typically gave them a scolding beforehand.
The character of Commander Gunham appears as a Non-Player Character in the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG. Within the game, players have the option to engage in conversation with him to formally resign from service within the Imperial Starfleet.
