Legend

this Imperial officer served aboard the Interrogator under the command of Captain Nolaan. Vharing was the latest in a long line of males in his family to attend the Imperial Academy, graduating in the top two percent of his class and receiving a posting as a communications officer aboard a Victory-class Star Destroyer. A close friend and trusted advisor, Vharing was a student of Nolaan, who was grooming the young man for his own command. When Nolaan transferred to command of the Interrogator, he brought Vharing along with him. This was both a boon and a bane for Vharing. When Nolaan was executed by High Inquisitor Tremayne for a minor error, Vharing was quickly promoted in his place. At the time, Vharing was the youngest person ever promoted to Captain and command of a ship. Tremayne kept a sharp eye on Vharing, for he had proclaimed that and of Nolaan's advisors would also be executed. Vharing remained in command of the Interrogator until a senior Lieutenant Leeds inadvertently ordered the bombing of a settlement on Qlothos while Vharing slept. The planet was virtually undefended, and sixty civilians were killed in the raid. Among them was a high-ranking engineer from Kuat Drive Yards and his family, who were on vacation at the time. Tremayne executed Vharing for this mistake, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with it. Vharing's disembodied spirit roamed the ship for several minutes before realizing it was truly dead.
