Ennix Devian

Ennix Devian was a human male who proclaimed himself as the Supreme Commander of the Restored Empire, a splinter faction of the Galactic Empire, in 13 ABY. Devian served the Empire during the early days of the Galactic Civil War as the Emperor Palpatine's personal assassin, being trained by the Sith Lord Darth Vader himself. However the Galactic Empire would fall, and Devian intended to restore it by destroying the Imperial Remnant, who were currently losing its conflict with the New Republic, and took over the Kaarenth Dissension as the Restored Empire and amassed a military comprised of renegade Imperial officers and soldiers, including the forces of General Vota, along with discarded hardware of the Galactic Republic that was discovered on the planetoid RZ7-6113-23, where Devian made his base. Devian planned to bring about the destruction of both the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic with the use of the volatile substance zinethium, plotting a large scale terrorist attack on the galactic capital of Coruscant to coerce the two sides into obliterating each other.

In order to plant the zinethium on Coruscant, Devian offered the former Emperor's Royal Guard, Kir Kanos, the chance to join the Restored Empire. Kanos's conflicting sense of honor, which was a foil to Devian's often extreme tactics, prevented him from taking up his invitation. Devian foresaw this and allowed Kanos to escape; knowing he would go to the galactic capital to warn the New Republic, Devian planted the zinethium in the shuttle Kanos stole beforehand. The attack failed with the intervention of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker of the New Jedi Order, and Republic forces discovered Devian's base on RZ7-6113-23. Abandoning the planetoid, Devian was forced into accelerating his plan by sabotaging peace talks between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant, which resulted in the death of Feena D'Asta, the daughter of the wealthy Imperial affiliated Baron, Ragez D'Asta. Framing the attack on the New Republic, Devian launched a massive attack on the Imperial capital Orinda, which was left undefended in the wake of a retaliatory strike against the Republic on Coruscant. When the Imperial fleet commanded by Gilad Pellaeon regrouped at Orinda, Devian captured the admiral and attempted to force him into a surrender. However, Devian's plan collapsed when the fleets of the D'Asta family arrived to reinforce their Imperial allies; the Baron was enlightened to Devian's involvement in his daughter's murder by Kir Kanos. In the resulting chaos, Devian fought Kir Kanos in one-on-one combat and fell to the Royal Guardsman's blade.
