A security officer of human descent was employed by the Pijali monarchy during the time of the Republic Era. This royal guard, under the command of Captain Deren of the Pijali military, was stationed at the Pijali palace on the planet Pijal, located in the Inner Rim. Specifically, the guard's post was in the Grand Hall, a location used to monitor the increasingly frequent and violent attacks attributed to the Opposition performance troupe. In the year 40 BBY, the guard observed, via a viewscreen, the destruction of a Czerka Corporation factory on Pijal's moon. Unbeknownst to the guard, this attack was secretly orchestrated by blackguards who were loyal to princess Fanry, the [crown](/article/crown] princess of Pijal.
The human swiftly proceeded to the palace's throne room and informed Rael Averross, the [Lord](/article/lord] Regent of Pijal, about the bombing, falsely attributing it to the Opposition. The guard's report led Averross, Fanry, and their accompanying courtiers to the Grand Hall to review recordings of the explosion. Several days later, the blackguards' involvement in the incident reported by the guard was revealed to the public on Pijal, following Fanry's coronation speech in which she denounced Czerka and claimed responsibility for the attack.
This guard character is featured in Master & Apprentice, a 2019 novel penned by Claudia Gray.
