The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"The Empire seems to think that leader of the Death Watch would make a good candidate for a Prime Clone for a new batch of stormtroopers."
―Commander D'krn[2]

A Human male was the Overlord of the Death Watch remnant during the Galactic Civil War. They were based inside the Death Watch bunker on the forest moon of Endor, virtually hidden from the rest of the galaxy.

Biography

"You'll need to find the Death Watch hideout on Endor. It can be located in the northwestern part of the planet. We need for you to find their leader and bring a sample of his blood back to us."
―Commander D'krn, to an Imperial operative[2]

This Death Watch Overlord was in command of Death Watch Wraiths, Ghosts, Bloodguards, and Black Sun mercenaries dispatched within the bunker.[2]

Sometime in 1 ABY,[1] he was killed by a group of individuals working for Commander D'krn, who wished to obtain a vial of his blood for possible usage in cloning a new batch of stormtroopers.[2]

Behind the scenes

This Death Watch Overlord appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Though his appearance was always obscured by his armor, using an in-game text command revealed him to be a Human male.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
