Legend

this Imperial Moff was in command of Kathol Sector during the height of Emperor Palpatine's New Order. He had been a young Navy officer when Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and became a loyal Imperial officer and a member of the Imperial Survey Corps. During the advent of the New Order, he claimed to have been the sole survivor of a navigational mishap in Kathol Sector. The accident took the life of the entire crew, and only Sarne survived. It was during this time that Sarne discovered the existence of DarkStryder, and made a deal with the creature to provide it with hyperdrive technology in exchange for its own technology. Upon returning to Coruscant, Sarne was reassigned to a posting as the Captain of the Renegade as part of the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet, but eventually made his way back to Kathol Sector with a fleet of ships, including the Renegade. He established a base of power on Kal'Shebbol, and continued to exploit DarkStryder's technology while keeping the bio-engineered creature stranded on Kathol. Sarne most wanted to re-establish the launch gates of the ancient Kathol, which he planned to use in conquering the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor, Sarne was flushed from Kal'Shebbol by New Republic strike teams, and he fled the sector capital and hid in the Marcol Void. He took with him as much firepower as possible, including a sizable portion of his fleet, and hoped to refit the warships before the Republic could get much of a hold on the sector. He began negotiations with the Qektoth Confederation, trading several starships and their crews for certain biochemical weapons technology. After the crew of the FarStar began tracking him down, Sarne maneuvered them into position to be the bait in an elaborate trap to capture the New Republic and further utilize the DarkStryder technology. Unfortunately for Sarne, he underestimated the desires of the native races of Kathol to free the Precursors from the Lifewell and defeat DarkStryder. He tried to protect himself by hiding in DarkStryder's fortress, but was unable to defeat the crew of the FarStar and their companions. He tried to flee Kathol and reach the Bastion, but the Republic forces were tipped off to Sarne's escape and managed to shoot down the shuttle. Sarne was killed in the explosion.
