"'Asteroid mover?' Is that what they call it? 'World Killer' is more like it! Ah, those Jedi, so lacking in ambition."
―Andal Sait[3]

Andal Sait was a male Human who served as captain in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. In 1 ABY, he commanded the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Blackguard. He went rogue and attempted to sell his command to Black Sun in the Bright Jewel system, while declaring himself to be a Grand Admiral.

Biography

He showed interest in obtaining the Codex of Tython, an ancient Jedi holocron discovered by the agents of the Rebel Alliance. Looking to complete the Codex, a Rebel agent smuggled himself aboard the Blackguard, trying to obtain Sait's piece of the holocron. However, the fragment was secretly stolen from Sait by Adrick, an ambitious Imperial officer. The Rebel got into a firefight with Adrick and Sait, during which Sait escaped and Adrick was forced to hand over the fragment, before departing the Star Destroyer in a shuttle.[4]

The holocron was reassembled and taken to Dantooine, however an ISB agent managed to recover it from Rebel hands. He contacted Sait, showing him the plans for a massive device that moved asteroids, stored in the holocron. Such device could crush a starship with its power or be used to bombard a planet with asteroids. Sait became interested by such a superweapon and asked the agent to deliver the holocron to him, along with the focusing crystal needed for the weapon. This allowed the Imperial engineers to install the superweapon aboard the Blackguard.[3]

Later, Sait organized a ceremony to present various officers and dignitaries his newest acquisition—a CY-M Prototype battle droid—recovered by his troops on Mustafar. Unknown to all the guests, a group of undercover slicers aboard the Star Destroyer altered the programming of the droid. The CY-M, armed with a large vibro-ax, jumped into the crowd and started swinging its weapon in a deadly move. However, the droid was soon pushed into a nearby airlock, which was immediately opened into space.[3]

Andal Sait was killed during the Retaking of the Blackguard.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
