An officer of the Imperial Navy, who was a male human, held the rank of captain and was in command of the Liberator. The Liberator was a Venator-class Star Destroyer. This grey-haired, short, and bearded captain was in charge of the Liberator in 14 BBY when it was sent to Nam Chorios. The Star Destroyer was positioned in orbit around the planet because it was suspected that the world would be the next target of the rebel group that had hijacked Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's personal corvette. Before the Moff departed on a shuttle, the captain had a conversation with Tarkin while aboard the Star Destroyer. Since the rebel group was not targeting Nam Chorios, the Liberator and its crew were dispatched to Ord Cestus.
James Luceno's 2014 novel, Tarkin, featured the captain's sole appearance.
