Adre L'Mendi

Adre L'Mendi was an Imperial officer who served in the Galactic Empire during the Imperial Era. As part of the Imperial Navy, L'Mendi held the military rank of captain and commanded the Tenacious, an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. During the Liberation of Erso, Captain L'Mendi was notified of a Rebel Alliance starship over the planet Wobani. When the Tenacious arrived, it destroyed the Alliance corvette Vigilant and deployed TIE fighter reinforcements.

Red Flight attacked the tractor beam targeting array of the Tenacious allowing for the escape of all rebel forces. Captain L'Mendi's failure had devastating consequences for the Empire, as Jyn Erso's actions led to the Battle of Scarif which witnessed the theft of the Empire's Death Star plans. The theft allowed for the Rebel Alliance to destroy the Death Star and eliminate high-ranking members of the Imperial Military such as Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin and members of the Joint Chiefs.
