Michael Unther was an officer in the Imperial Navy, a veteran of twenty years of front-line service who became a respected Academy instructor after his retirement from active duty.
Biography
Born to privileged parents, Unther was enrolled in a military career in order to curb his rebellious streak. After the Academy, he used family connections to get himself assigned to a Strike-class medium cruiser, but after distinguishing himself for bravery, he was promoted to command the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Victory.[1]
When his father was accused of treason, Captain Unther's reputation as a loyal hero of the Empire protected him from the scandal, and he rose to be an Admiral, subsequently promoted to Rear Admiral on stepping down from active service.[1]
By the time of his retirement, Admiral Unther was considered one of the Galactic Empire's leading Planetary assault tactics experts, and he subsequently became a noted Academy instructor, touring training facilities across the Empire, of which the Duluur sector Academy was typical.[1]
Personality and traits
Unther looked and acted like a copybook Imperial commander—big, balding, and heavy-jowled, a staunch and steadfast supporter of the New Order; few guessed that he had harbored profound private reservations about the regime ever since his father's disappearance.[1]
