Tyrus Meori was a male human who held the rank of admiral within the Imperial Navy. His promotion to the rank of admiral came as a result of his successful battles at both Hargawi and Narrant Shoals. When the Mon Calamari initiated a mutiny, he took command of the blockade that surrounded the planet of Mon Cala. He instructed a fellow officer to eliminate any Mon Calamari ship attempting to breach the blockade, and in the event of a ship not breaking the blockade, to disable it before boarding and eliminating all resistance.
His downfall, however, stemmed from his misjudgment of the Mon Calamari. He commanded that a cruiser, which was rapidly approaching the blockade, be fired upon without confirming its identity or contents. A subordinate then identified the vessel as the Aurora Flare, which was transporting coaxium, a very unstable hyperfuel. Meori, in a state of panic, then commanded his crew to stop firing and perform maneuvers to avoid collision. Nevertheless, his instruction arrived too late, as the Aurora Flare collided with Meori's Star Destroyer, causing the coaxium to explode. Meori survived this event, but his flagship, the Aquilifer, and his professional life were both severely impacted.
