Roj Ohjon

"Similarly, the decision to seed the Outer Rim with Imperial probe droids, which eventually led to the discovery and destruction of the rebel base on Hoth, was pioneered by military intelligence and its success saw the architect, Major Roj Ohjon, promoted to colonel and reassigned to a new role on Coruscant."
―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

Roj Ohjon was a member of the Ubiqtorate, the military intelligence body of the Galactic Empire. During the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Ohjon was the architect of the Ubiqtorate-pioneered Project Swarm, in which the Empire dispatched large numbers of Imperial probe droids across the Outer Rim Territories in search of the Alliance's headquarters.[1]

After the project resulted in the discovery of Echo Base on the planet Hoth, which was then attacked and destroyed by the Empire[1] in 3 ABY,[2] Ohjon was promoted from major to colonel and reassigned to a new role that included a transfer to Coruscant, capital of the Empire. Ohjon's promotion and transfer order was stored in the "Imperial Ubiqtorate" section of the Imperial Archives and later cited by historian Beaumont Kin when[1] he[3] mentioned Ohjon in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[4]

Behind the scenes

Roj Ohjon was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1]

As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
