Burque

Burque was a human who served as a captain in the Imperial Navy by 14 BBY. He commanded the Venator-class Star Destroyer Electrum while it was on loan from a deepdock at the planet Ryloth to an Imperial facility named Sentinel Base.

When Sentinel Base received a fake call for aid from the space outpost Rampart Station, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin realized it was a trick and ordered Burque to take the Electrum to the edge of Sentinel Base's star system instead of sending it to Rampart. This allowed the Electrum to quickly return when a warship controlled by a rebel cell attacked Sentinel Base; however, Burque was not able to disable the rebel ship before it fled.
