Paltr Carvin

Paltr Carvin was a human male who held the rank of General in the military of the Galactic Empire and Tribune of the Imperial Ruling Council in 5 ABY. Carvin and the council seized control after Interim Emperor Sate Pestage was accused of treason and fled Coruscant. Working with Director of Imperial Intelligence Ysanne Isard, Carvin put out a warrant for Pestage's arrest, and as a result the former Grand Vizier was captured on Ciutric IV.

Carvin appointed Admiral Delak Krennel to retrieve Pestage and bring him back to Coruscant, but the ensuing evacuation of Ciutric prevented that. Pestage had been rescued by New Republic agents, but the agents themselves had been forced to stay on the planet due to the presence of the Interdictor Star Destroyer Binder. Krennel initially failed to take control of the situation, however, turning it into a fiasco. Meanwhile, Isard had Carvin's closest colleagues assassinated, before having the general himself arrested. As control over the Empire was wrested from his grasp, Carvin was taken to the Lusankya prison facility, where he was to be reconditioned to serve Isard loyally.
