Legend

an Imperial Admiral in command of the Guardian, Drommel was a native of the planet Oplovis. Drommel learned about command and control from Grand Moff Tarkin himself, and quickly rose through the ranks of the Imperial Navy. He and his ship were on station at Coruscant during the Battle of Endor, and when word of Emperor Palpatine's reached the capital world, Drommel took his fleet and fled to his home system. He tried to establish his own empire following the death of Palpatine, waging a short but effective campaign against New Republic safeworlds with the assistance of Captain Dor Reder. Drommel's forces were defeated by the New Republic in the Battle of Tantive V, but Drommel escaped with the Guardian. However, he was unprepared for the assault of Cryle Cavv and Sienn Sconn, who managed to defeat the Imperials and take control of the Guardian. Drommel was shot and killed by Colonel Niovi during the assault, after seeing that Drommel no longer had the interests of the Empire at the forefront of his motivations.
