Jylia Shale

Jylia Shale was a high ranking officer and legendary strategist in the Galactic Empire's army, holding the position of general. Several months after the Battle of Endor, Shale attended a secret summit on Akiva called by Admiral Rae Sloane. Shale held the opinion that the Empire would not be able to win and that they should surrender to the New Republic in order to survive. The New Republic attacked the Star Destroyers above Akiva and as a result, she was captured along with Yupe Tashu. Shale was a cooperative prisoner, but this resulted in her being targeted as a traitor by Gallius Rax, who had the treacherous Senate Guard Windom Traducier murder her in her quarters.
