Tanner

Tanner was an Imperial soldier stationed aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Vector. In 1 BBY, the Vector crew was exposed to a deadly virus, which killed the afflicted and subsequently reanimated them as zombies. Immune to the disease, Tanner and twenty-nine others sought shelter from the undead in a Sentinel-class landing craft docked within the Star Destroyer's hangar, eventually resorting to cannibalism to stay alive. During their tenth week inside the shuttle, they attempted to kill—and eat—Jareth Sartoris, an officer from the Imperial prison barge Purge, who was fleeing from the horde of undead, before brokering a deal with him for escape. Sartoris disabled a tractor beam that had been preventing the shuttle from fleeing as part of the arrangement, directing three fellow Purge survivors to the awaiting shuttle before he died. Tanner greeted the trio as they prepared to depart, but before the shuttle could get very far, he was killed by a zombie who had managed to board the craft.
