Merile Yurrion was a male Human who served the re-emerging Sith Empire as a Moff. He oversaw the Arkanis sector during the period known as the Cold War.
Yurrion was of the opinion that the desert planet of Tatooine could be transformed into a defense against both the Galactic Republic and the Outer Rim's criminal organizations. Because he lacked sufficient soldiers from the Imperial Military, he needed to enlist the aid of Mandalorian groups residing on Tatooine. To further his aims, Moff Yurrion enlisted Imperial agents who had concluded their own independent operations on Tatooine.
