Pollus Maksim

Pollus Maksim was a human moff of the Galactic Empire who governed the planet Kuat's sector by 0 ABY. At some point, he wrote a foreword for the KDY Corporate Folder brochure welcoming investors to Kuat Drive Yards. In 5 ABY, the nascent New Republic led a a weeks-long assault on the Kuat Drive Yards against the forces commanded by Maksim and the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Dark Omen.

During the extended struggle, Imperial forces began to falter and the remaining Star Destroyers tried to flee Kuat by breaking the New Republic's blockade of it. Maksim opted to remain behind as the vessels made the attempt, unwilling to risk his life. Not long after the attempt's failure, Maksim and the guild head of Kuat Drive Yards surrendered to New Republic's Commodore Kyrsta Agate and Admiral Gial Ackbar.
