Legend

an elderly Imperial Navy Captain under Grand Admiral Thrawn, he was the commander of the Relentless. He came from a family of starship commanders from the planet Coruscant, being the seventh in a long line of naval officers. He was granted command of the Relentless prior to the Battle of Endor, although his cautious style of command has often been questioned by other Captains. He was with Pellaeon following the Battle of Endor, and although he agreed with the decision to retreat, he did not approve of Pellaeon's assumption of command. Dorja's lack of initiative at the Battle of Endor meant that he was relegated to a secondary position in Grand Admiral Thrawn's Navy, and this rankled even more. Dorja stayed on, though, in hopes that he could one day assume command of the fleet and return the New Order to its rightful position in the galaxy. Dorja survived the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the series of defeats the Empire suffered to the New Republic, and was one of the thirteen Captains who remained in control of their Star Destroyers ten years later. He was then called upon by Moff Disra to intercept Admiral Pellaeon at Morishim, but Dorja was not given the specifics of the mission. At the same briefing, Dorja was stunned to see Thrawn join the discussion. Masterfully portrayed by the con artist Flim, Thrawn seemed resurrected, and Dorja was completely fooled by the performance. He agreed to go to Morishim and intercept an Imperial courier, which turned out to be Colonel Vermel's ship en route to extend a peace treaty to Garm Bel Iblis.
