Berrus

Berrus was a captain in service to the Galactic Empire in 0 BBY. He was dispatched by Emperor Palpatine to assist Starkiller—the Emperor's newest Sith apprentice—during a mission to search for the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, whom the Rebel Alliance had tasked with safeguarding the stolen plans for the Empire's new planet-destroying superweapon, the Death Star. Starkiller's hunt for the droids led him to the Outer Rim world of Tatooine. As the apprentice commenced his mission, Berrus contacted him at various times, offering the apprentice advice on completing his mission. The apprentice ultimately fulfilled his assignment—with little help from the captain—when he located the two droids in the city of Mos Eisley and placed a tracking device on the starship aboard which they escaped.
