Legend

this man was a native of the planet Humbarine, where he served in the planetary navy during the height of the Clone Wars. He believed in the Old Republic, and joined the navy to keep his homeworld free from Separatist control. However, he soon came to doubt the Republic's ability to protect itself, after his requests for additional military resources were ignored. This allowed General Grievous to sweep in and attack Humbarine while it was virtually defenseless, and Oicunn's family was killed in the attack. For his own part in the defense of Humbarine, Oicunn found himself transferred to the Home Fleet defending Coruscant itself. Senator Bana Breemu hailed him as a hero, despite the loss of Humbarine to the Separatists. During the first Battle of Coruscant, Oicunn was given command of the Mas Ramdar, and went into battle with the knowledge that he could exact a measure of revenge against Grievous during the fighting. His valor and success in the space battle over Coruscant earned Oicunn further promotion and a place in the newly established navy of the Galactic Empire, commanding one of the warships that protected the construction site of the first Death Star. Oicunn continued to rise through the ranks, eventually earning the rank of Admiral. He also served as a genetic template for some of the stormtroopers of the Imperial army.
