Idel

Canon Linked from 11 articles

Idel was a human male who served as a commodore in the Imperial Navy and commanded his own Imperial-class Star Destroyer. Around 0 ABY, they led a trio of Imperial Star Destroyers to recapture Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine's luxury pleasure craft, the Imperialis, after it was stolen from Orbital Shipyard CC-24 in the Castell system. Idel destroyed the shipyard and then attempted to use gravity mines to capture the Imperialis.

When that failed, they offered a million-credit reward to whomever brought them the Imperialis, causing the other two Star Destroyers—commanded by Captains Conro and Shan—to try and use their vessels' tractor beams to capture the yacht. The smuggler Lando Calrissian, who was piloting the Imperialis, maneuvered the yacht so that the two Star Destroyers collided, allowing the Imperialis to escape. Realizing they had failed the Emperor, Idel shot themself in the head.
