Legend

a native of OrulShai III, Nereus hoped to one day take over the Imperial governorship of Gyosha. However, due to a bureaucratic error, he was instead named Imperial governor in charge of the Bakura system. Despite a long series of protested and petitions, the error was never corrected and Nereus remained on Bakura. Fearing that he had angered a superior, Nereus ruled the system via the tenets of the Tarkin Doctrine, using the fear of reprisal to keep the locals in line. He also authored a report to Emperor Palpatine himself, detailing the need to completely subjugate the Outer Rim Territories, but there was never a response. An avid hunter, he collected the teeth of all the major predators he has beaten, including humans. Shortly after the Battle of Bakura, Nereus was killed when he attempted to execute Leia Organa. His shots were deflected by Luke Skywalker, and struck him in the chest.
