Aron Harcourt

Aron Harcourt was a disgraced former captain of the Imperial Navy, who served administratively on a remote outpost in 0 ABY. Harcourt was once renowned as a hero of the Galactic Empire, commanding the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Anya Karu - but the Anya Karu was destroyed by Rebel saboteurs by 3 BBY and he was forced to abandon ship, leaving it derelict on a desolate planet. He was blamed for the loss of the Anya Karu in the subsequent inquiry and removed from the command structure of the Imperial Navy. By 0 ABY, Harcourt decided to have a holographic recording of his late wife, Janelle, recovered from the Anya Karu, before the wreck was scuttled. Lacking the requisite finances, Harcourt nonetheless enlisted the bounty hunter Boba Fett to recover the hologram. Although the recording was retrieved and Harcourt was able to view it once more, his inability to pay the bounty hunter resulted in Fett terminating his life.
