- "This isn't your station. Let me see some identification."
- ―The officer, to Tala Durith
A human male with the military rank of captain served as a terminal officer in the Galactic Empire's Imperial Army and was stationed on Fortress Inquisitorius on the ocean moon Nur. He was on duty while the Imperial officer Tala Durith went to a terminal and secretly helped the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrate the fortress. The terminal officer noticed that Durith should not have been at that terminal and asked her for identification, leading her away. However, once the pair were out of sight of the rest of the room, Durith killed the other officer and returned to her terminal.
Biography[]
- "What happened?"
"I had some company." - ―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Durith
During the time of the Galactic Empire, the human male served as an Imperial terminal officer[2] by the year 9 BBY[1] with the military rank of captain.[3] He operated in a terminal room of Fortress Inquisitorius, the headquarters of the Empire's Jedi-hunting group, the Inquisitorius, on the ocean moon of Nur in the[2] Outer Rim's[4] Mustafar system. One day that year, the officer was patrolling the room when the Captain Tala Durith consulted a terminal, secretly helping the fugitive Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi infiltrate the fortress through an underwater entry point.[2]
The terminal officer consulted the computer terminals behind Durith until he realized that she did not belong on the terminal that she was operating. The officer confronted her, asking for some identification and leading her to an area behind some terminals. Once they were out of sight of the rest of the room, Durith attacked the terminal officer, kicking him and twisting his neck, killing the man. The treacherous officer then returned to her terminal to speak with Kenobi again, citing that she had some company.[2]

Pablo Hidalgo (@pabl0hidalgo) on Twitter (June 4, 2022): "@peacemakervitus There's basically two eras for Imperial badges - pre-Death Star destruction and post. So Andor and Kenobi follow the Rogue One 'single row' model." (backup link). Due to this, this individual's rank insignia plaque is consistent with its respective rank insignia and branch in the live-action production chart here, and as such must be that military rank and in that branch.
