Legend

this Imperial Colonel threw in his lot with Prince-Admiral Krennel, after Krennel defected from Imperial service after the Battle of Endor. Lorrir served as a Lieutenant as part of the 181st Imperial Fighter Group which was garrisoned at Brentaal IV, shortly before it was taken by the New Republic. Later, Lorrir was re-assigned to a post on the Reckoning, and was assigned to train Krennel's fighter pilots. Lorrir was a supporter of Lon Isoto, and firmly believed that Soontir Fel had betrayed the Empire at Brentaal instead of Isoto. Lorrir himself was a mediocre pilot, as demonstrated when Antar Roat's Requiem Squadron trained with Lorri's forces prior to Krennel's planned assault on Coruscant. Lorrir was placed in command of the Requiem ships, which were ordered to fly on his orders. When Krennel sounded a battle alarm, Roat - who was actually Wedge Antilles, and was on Ciutric to bring down the planet's shields to allow the New Republic to defeat the Prince-Admiral - knocked Lorrir cold and took his uniform. This allowed him to delay the launch of Requiem's fighters, giving them a chance to avoid the major battle while trying to knock out the planet's defenses. Lorrir was tapped by the clone of Ysanne Isard to pilot a shuttle away from Ciutric, in an effort make Rogue Squadron believe she was in it. Mimicking the scheme the real Isard used to escape Thyferra, the clone sent relayed communications through the shuttle's comm systems while Lorrir fled the planet. However, Wedge recognized Lorrir's tendency to side-slip his ship to avoid being hit by enemy fire and destroyed the shuttle. Lorrir was killed when it plowed into the Daplona River and disintegrated.
