Khypes

Khypes was a general in the Imperial Army of the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Cold War between the Empire and the Galactic Republic. Around 3645 BBY, Khypes was sent to the recently-discovered planet of Voss with a battle cruiser and several army divisions to conquer the world and its powerful Force-sensitive natives. Khypes arrived in the Voss system, but before the general could contact the Voss, Khypes's battle cruiser was overridden by the technology of the secretive Star Cabal and exploded, and the escort ships were destroyed only moments later. Khypes's death and the loss of the fleet astonished both the Empire and the Republic, who were unable to find the cause of the explosion, and the Empire declared Khypes to have been a rogue officer as they made diplomatic overtures to the Voss.
