Inos Fonada, an Imperial officer of male gender, held the rank of Admiral. Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin kept Fonada under surveillance, placing an informant within the admiral's chain of command.
After Tarkin's death, [Sandrex Olotho](article/sandrex_olotho], the spy, took on the role of Fonada's primary intelligence source. Following the Battle of Endor, Fonada rose to become a warlord in command of a fleet situated in the Outer Rim Territories. He initiated a series of guerilla attacks aimed at disrupting the shipping operations of the New Republic. In the months leading up to the Thrawn crisis, Fonada's fleet, largely comprised of salvaged Imperial ships, abruptly left their outposts in the Vatha sector and vanished along the Corellian Trade Spine, an event that was subsequently reported to the New Republic. The reasons behind this disappearance remained unknown to the New Republic until some months after the Thrawn crisis, when they encountered the forces of the resurrected Emperor.
