Hija

Canon Legends version → Linked from 15 articles

Hija was a human male who served as the chief gunnery officer of the Galactic Empire's Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Devastator. In the year 1 BBY, he was onboard the Devastator following the Battle of Scarif when it pursued the fleeing CR90 corvette Tantive IV, a Rebel Alliance vessel carrying stolen plans to the Imperial Death Star superweapon. After the Star Destroyer caught up with the corvette and stormtroopers successfully boarded the Alliance vessel, Hija was manning one of the Devastator's guns and noted an escape pod that had launched from the corvette, but was ordered not to shoot at it by gunnery captain Bolvan. The pod was carrying two Rebel droids carrying the plans, and in order to cover up his mistake, Bolvan later put through an order that required Hija to take part in an inspection of the Devastator's weapons, keeping him out of the way so he could not be questioned.
