- "Found in an unpublished memoir entitled Hero of the Empire written by an anonymous Imperial commander that was located within the records captured at Yaga Minor."
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
An individual was a commander in the military of the Galactic Empire. They anonymously authored an unpublished memoir titled Hero of the Empire, which included an account of an argument over starfighter tactics from a meeting shortly before the Battle of Endor[1] in 4 ABY.[2] One officer, who the historian Beaumont Kin assumed was Vice Admiral Corf Ferno, began an explanation of how Grand Admiral Thrawn had coordinated the fighters and fleet at the Battle of Atollon[1] in 2 BBY.[2] He was then shouted down by another officer, who threatened to allow their ship to indulge in friendly fire if they had to listen to another lecture about "that ludicrous alien". Their memoir was later found in records captured from [1] the world[3] Yaga Minor.[1] In 35 ABY,[4] Kin mentioned the commander when[1] he[5] cited their memoir in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Imperial commander was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. 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.
