Cygnus Anton

Cygnus Anton was an avian who served the Galactic Empire as a Chief Regional Auditor and was associated with the Crimson Dawn criminal syndicate. Between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, Anton visited the planet Calior. A hologram of the avian that appeared to be Anton accompanied their forces—Imperial stormtroopers and Crimson Dawn guards—on the ground while the Chief Regional Auditor stayed aboard one of their All Terrain Scout Transport "AT-STs." The avian demanded that the people of Calior give the southern water works to the Empire and, if Calior's people desired continued access to the facility, a monthly tax of five thousand credits.

As Anton finished speaking, a group of warriors known as the Revengers, which sought to eliminate Crimson Dawn, attacked the avian's forces. The Chief Regional Auditor commanded their forces to charge; however, Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader—who was on a quest to kill all Crimson Dawn members in the Empire's service—destroyed Anton's AT-ST with his TIE Advanced, killing the avian.
