A commissioned officer of the Human male variety served within the New Republic Army. His assignment placed him at the New Republic base on the planet Altyr V, circa 10 ABY. This officer collaborated with the commander of the base and was present when the base was attacked by two Imperial weapons systems that were disguised as asteroids. Communications were received by the officer from the long range outpost situated on Delta 3, relaying that a sizable Imperial fleet was en route to Altyr V, projected to arrive within a three-hour timeframe following the asteroid assault. Ultimately, the Jedi Kyle Katarn succeeded in destroying the Imperial weapons, thereby enabling the base personnel to evacuate prior to the main Imperial fleet's arrival.
Sometime before 10 ABY, this male Human officer joined the ranks of the New Republic Army and found himself stationed at a New Republic installation on the Outer Rim world of Altyr V. He frequently worked alongside the base's commander, primarily operating from the base's central hub, commonly referred to as Ops. His duties involved working at computer terminals and maintaining contact with a distant outpost located on Delta 3. During the campaign orchestrated by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine in 10 ABY, two Imperial orbital ion cannons, cleverly disguised as asteroids, were deployed to Altyr V. Their mission: to suppress the New Republic base and prevent its personnel from escaping as a larger Imperial fleet advanced towards Altyr V.
However, the fleet's trajectory took it past Delta 3, and the listening post promptly alerted the officer to the impending attack, estimating a three hour window for evacuation. Subsequently, the officer utilized the base's intercom system to summon two visiting Jedi to Ops. These Jedi were none other than former Rebel agent Kyle Katarn and former Imperial operative and Emperor's Hand Mara Jade, who had agreed to be stationed at the base. Katarn's assignment also served as an opportunity to mentor Jade in the ways of the Jedi, as she had recently aligned herself with the New Republic.
Upon the Jedi's arrival at Ops, the officer and the base's commander briefed them on the situation, seeking their input. When the officer's sensors detected preliminary ground troops landing outside the base's perimeter, Katarn conceived a plan to commandeer an Imperial landing craft and utilize it to infiltrate and destroy the asteroid cannons from within. Katarn departed shortly thereafter, leaving Jade, the commander, and the officer in Ops. As Katarn reached a hangar, Imperial stormtroopers breached Ops through a wall, overwhelming New Republic resistance. The commander urgently requested Katarn to return to Ops before he and Jade temporarily repelled the stormtroopers and departed. The officer, however, remained in Ops.
When Katarn eventually returned, the stormtroopers renewed their assault on Ops, only to be defeated with the Jedi's assistance. The officer encountered Katarn on the second level of Ops, offering no information on the whereabouts of Jade or the commander. Instead, he advised Katarn to locate the base's communications center and use it to jam Imperial sensors and radars, concealing Katarn's intent to steal a ship and target the asteroids. Katarn was unable to reach the communications center, but Jade had already arrived and initiated the jamming. Ultimately, Katarn's mission proved successful, and the base was evacuated before the Imperial fleet's arrival.
This officer possessed considerable skill in computer operations and demonstrated proficiency in managing communication networks. During combat situations, he maintained a composed and pragmatic demeanor, promptly providing assistance to Kyle Katarn upon the Jedi's return to Ops. He had brown [hair](/article/hair-legends], blue eyes, and fair skin.
His attire consisted of the standard uniform for New Republic officers, featuring a tan jacket, white trousers, black boots, and a white cap. He was also armed with a blaster pistol that discharged green laser bolts. His command insignia displayed five red pips.
The officer made his debut, unnamed, in the 1998 video game Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Referred to as Rebel Officers in the game's manual, all officers were voiced by either Steve Blum or Roger Jackson, though the game never clarifies which of them voiced the officer in this article.
The officer's insignia shows five pips, which in previous media has distinguished either to belong to those with the rank of General or Captain, though the game never clarifies the officer's rank in dialogue.
