Background: Gilad Pellaeon was a male human officer who served as a captain in the naval forces of the Galactic Empire, commanding the Imperial Star Destroyer Harbinger as part of Grand Admiral Balanhai Savit’s Third Fleet. When Savit was exposed as a traitor who was stealing components from Project Stardust, Pellaeon sided with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Commodore Karyn Faro, and helped them arrest his superior.
After Savit was relieved of his duty, Pellaeon and the Harbinger were reassigned to assist Thrawn’s Seventh Fleet. Together with Thrawn, Pellaeon participated in the Imperial blockade of the planet Lothal until it was liberated by the rebel Spectres and their allies shortly before the Battle of Yavin. During the liberation, all Imperial starships present were destroyed by flocks of the space-faring purrgil, and Pellaeon’s communication with the Grand Admiral was quickly cut off.
Pellaeon survived the Galactic Civil War and was still in service to the Imperial remnants by 9 ABY, during which he was a member of the secret Shadow Council alongside other leaders and warlords such as Moff Gideon and Commandant Brendol Hux. As part of the council, Pellaeon stressed to his fellow members the importance Thrawn’s eventual return would play in the Empire’s resurgence, though he was faced with skepticism by Gideon.
