The Supreme Strategist held a position of great importance within the government of Mandalore. Serving as a high-ranking officer, this individual, whose species remains unidentified, oversaw a Venator-class Star Destroyer. Prior to the significant Battle of Yavin, Tyber Zann's newly formed organization successfully executed an act of piracy in orbit above Mandalore, specifically by kidnapping the Supreme Strategist. The Strategist was then brought into the Consortium's control, after the destruction of the five advance squadrons of V-wing starfighters and the incapacitation or annihilation of all accompanying escort ships.
