Duron Veertag

Duron Veertag was a Human male who served as a major in the Alliance to Restore the Republic by 0 BBY. That year, after the Alliance destroyed the Galactic Empire's DS-1 Orbital Battle Station superweapon during the Battle of Yavin, Veertag was present during a ceremony honoring Luke Skywalker and other heroes of the battle. In 3 ABY, Veertag, by then a general, was stationed in the Alliance's Haven Base on the planet Arbra. Following a battle in which Commander Skywalker shot down Captain Shira Brie, Veertag joined Princess Leia Organa and General Carlist Rieekan in the Triad of Judgement presiding over Skywalker's trial. During the trial, evidence proving Brie's Imperial loyalties was retroactively discovered, and Skywalker was acquitted and reinstated as Commander. In 5 ABY, Veertag landed New Republic forces on the planet Milagro for a three-month conflict with the goal of overtaking the planet's manufacturing facilities. The battle resulted in an Imperial retreat and bombardment of the planet's surface to prevent the Republic forces from using Milagro's facilities.
