Ormeddon was an individual who served as a Grand General in the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire during the Imperial Era. By 10 BBY, the criminal Tobias Beckett and his gang operated in the Berullian theater of operations, which caused three Imperial advisors to persuade Galactic Emperor Palpatine into dispatching Ormeddon to the Berullian Checkpoint as part of a ploy by the gang to gain his security clearances. Beckett's gang stole Ormeddon's shuttle, and the crew infiltrated the Colonies location known as Foundry and successfully stole experimental deflector shield generator technology. By the time Ormeddon realized his shuttle was missing, Beckett and his team were already negotiating with thieves from the Crymorah Syndicate.

Biography[]

Ormeddon was an individual who came to serve the Galactic Empire during the Imperial Era, eventually rising to the rank of Grand General^[1] in the Imperial Army.^[2] By 10 BBY,^[3] Ormeddon was based out of a^[1] Colonies^[4] location named Foundry, which held experimental deflector shield generator technology and maintained a personal docking bay.^[1]

Tivoche Bilure, who was known as "Midnight" and served as a bartender at the Lodge on the Mid Rim planet Vandor, documented stories he heard into a book. The first Midnight heard of the criminal Tobias Beckett and his gang was when he and his crew launched an operation at the Berullian Checkpoint where they stole Imperial supply ships for several weeks. The disruption in logistics caused three different Imperial advisors to persuade Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine to take action by dispatching Ormeddon to deal with the matter. Beckett's operation was meant to force Ormeddon away from his security, where he was vulnerable. At the checkpoint, Beckett and his team disguised themselves as maintenance workers and stole Ormeddon's shuttle fifteen minutes into Ormeddon's inspection.^[1]

Beckett and his gang jumped to Foundry, used Ormeddon's clearance codes to land in his personal docking bay, and stole the experimental shield generator technology. By the time Ormeddon completed his inspection and began inquiring about the location of his shuttle, Beckett and his team were already in another part of the galaxy in negotiations to arrange a deal with thieves who worked for the Crymorah Syndicate.

Legacy[]

Midnight later wrote the story in his book^[1] sometime between 10 BBY and 3 ABY.^[5] In 35 ABY,^[6] the historian and Resistance paramilitary member Beaumont Kin mentioned Ormeddon in^[7] his^[8] book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire. The book included a citation to Imperial Archives, Section: Imperial Army Personnel, File: Grand General Ormeddon—Service Record.^[7]

Personality and traits[]

As an Imperial officer, Ormeddon reached the highest military rank in the Imperial Army; Grand General. Ormeddon's rise position was contrasted by Beaumont Kin to Levinous, a Grand General who Kin believed as completely attributable to his political connections to Grand Vizier Mas Amedda. Ormeddon was often dispatch by the Emperor himself and the military to the undermining of Imperial supply lines, and was considered by Kin to be a problem solver.^[7]

Equipment[]

As a grand general in the Imperial Armed Forces, Ormeddon made use of a shuttle for travel.^[1]
