Anj Zavor

Colonel Anj Zavor was a human who served in Fleet Command for the Alliance to Restore the Republic. He provided a report to Commander Mon Mothma on the militarization of Mon Calamari city-ships in the Telaris cometary cloud and the capture of a Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier that had occurred in 3 BBY. Zavor then became liaison between Admiral Raddus, head of the Alliance Fleet, and the rebels based in the Great Temple on the moon Yavin 4.

In 1 BBY, he attended a meeting in the temple where Alliance High Command discussed the possibility of stealing the plans to the Imperial Death Star superweapon but ultimately decided against it. After a rogue squad of rebels set out to steal the plans anyway, Raddus led a fleet to support them. Zavor then kept a line of communication open between Yavin 4 and Raddus during the ensuing Battle of Scarif. Raddus perished during the battle, but the successful acquisition of the plans allowed the Alliance to destroy the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin, after which Zavor attended an award ceremony for the victors.
