"Captain, Kijimi is in range."
"Fire."

―Milon Lenwith and Chesille Sabrond^[3]

Chesille Sabrond was a human who was born on the planet Exegol. She served as a captain in the Sith Eternal's fleet, the Final Order, and helmed the Xyston-class Star Destroyer Derriphan. In 35 ABY, the Derriphan was the first Star Destroyer selected to leave Exegol, following orders from Allegiant General Enric Pryde of the First Order to destroy the planet Kijimi.

Biography

Early life

Chesille Sabrond was born on the Unknown Regions planet Exegol^[1] in 5 ABY^[2] and raised by the members of the Sith Eternal cult, training her entire life in preparation for the launching of the Final Order being built on her homeworld. During her ascension among the ranks, she killed three individuals, sabotaged two others, and barely slept for over twenty years.^[4] She eventually was made captain of the Xyston-class Star Destroyer Derriphan within the fleet.^[1] In 35 ABY,^[3] the leader of the Sith Eternal, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, made contact with the First Order and granted them use of the Sith fleet's resources in their war against the Resistance.^[1]

Destruction of Kijimi

"Contact Imperial Command. Tell them the planet Kijimi is no more. Then set a course for our return to Exegol."

―Chesille Sabrond^[4]

Sabrond gives the order to fire on Kijimi.

With First Order Allegiant General Enric Pryde now in control of the fleet, the Derriphan was the first of the Sith Eternal's Xyston-class Star Destroyers launched from Exegol.^[1] Under orders from Pryde, they traveled to the planet Kijimi, which had recently harbored members of the Resistance, in order to make an example of the First Order's new might after their garrison had been evacuated with Protocol 13. As the Derriphan approached its target, Lieutenant Milon Lenwith informed Sabrond on the Star Destroyer's bridge that they were within range. The Sith Eternal officer immediately gave the order to fire the warship's axial superlaser, which destroyed the entirety of Kijimi. Soon after this display of power, the Derriphan was sent back to Exegol, in where it battled against the Resistance in the Battle of Exegol.^[5]

Battle of Exegol and death

Fleet technician: "Captain, we have Resistance craft incoming."

Chesille Sabrond: "Allegiant General…"

Enric Pryde: "Use ion cannons!"

―Sabrond is ordered to deploy ion cannons by Pryde^[5]

Sabrond remained on the Derriphan when the Resistance's air team and landing team arrived from Ajan Kloss. As a fleet technician informed her the Resistance' arrival, she was given orders from Pryde to fire ion cannons at the Resistance. Eventually, the Resistance managed to get the upper hand with reinforcements,^[5] the Citizens' Fleet.^[6]^[7] The Resistance then battled the Sith Star Destroyers, destroying the superlasers to bring down the warships.^[5] The Derriphan was eventually defeated and destroyed by the Resistance and the galaxy fleet, killing Sabrond.^[4]

Personality and traits

Like all children raised by the Sith Eternal cultists, Sabrond was raised to revere the power of the dark side of the Force despite not being able to use it. They were also taught the brutal "truth" of existence that might for might's sake is the ultimate end.^[1] Sabrond did not even value living things, as seen commanding fire towards Kijimi with utter coldness and inwardly feeling delight at the sight of the planet's destruction that made her wish to yell her triumph, although she suppressed such emotions in front of her crew due to such an act being unprofessional.^[5]^[4] Sabrond was an ambitious individual that sought the recognition of Darth Sidious and Allegiant General Enric Pryde, who she admired.^[8] Taught by the Sith Eternal to believe that the galaxy was theirs by cosmic right, Sabrond was confident that she could stand out among the Final Order’s hundreds of captains, but Pryde thought of her as a mediocre captain that lacked any true potential, her Star Destroyer having been meant to be expendable cannon fodder.^[4]

Sabrond was a human who stood 1.62 meters (5 foot, 4 inches) and had light skin, brown hair, and brown eyes.^[1]

Equipment

Sabrond wore a black and red Sith Eternal officer's uniform which included a black kepi hat with a Sith Eternal crest, black gloves and a black belt with a silver Imperial-style buckle containing an officer's disc.^[1]
