Siward Cass

Canon Legends version → Linked from 20 articles

Siward Cass was a human male bureaucrat and military officer who served as a major and later chief under the Galactic Empire, the successor state of the Galactic Republic. By the early stages of the Galactic Civil War, Cass was stationed on the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station, the Empire's planet-killing superweapon, serving as an aide to the station's commander, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.

Around this time, Cass attended a meeting of the Joint Chiefs, in which various high-ranking military officers debated the purported threat that the Alliance to Restore the Republic posed. Shortly thereafter, the captive Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan lied and told Tarkin that the rebel's hidden base was on Dantooine. When it was discovered that, while there had been a base on Dantooine, it had been deserted for some time, Cass delivered the news to Tarkin.
