Tiaan Jerjerrod

Tiaan Jerjerrod was a human male bureaucrat and military officer who served as a Rear Admiral and Moff under the Galactic Empire, the successor state of the Galactic Republic, during the Galactic Civil War. Initially an architect and starship designer, Jerjerrod was eventually granted the rank of Moff. He was made station commander of the DS-2 Death Star II Mobile Battle Station, partly owing to his previous work on the first Death Star.

Tasked with overseeing the battle station's difficult final stages of construction, Jerjerrod faced the wrath of both the Sith Lord Darth Vader and his master, Emperor Sheev Palpatine, when the construction effort fell behind schedule. Despite warnings from Vader that the Emperor would not tolerate any further setbacks, the Emperor paid little attention to Jerjerrod when he visited the Death Star, though he did authorize the Commander to operate the station's superlaser against the starships of the Rebel fleet when the Alliance to Restore the Republic launched its attack on the Death Star—a battle that culminated in the station's destruction and the death of all its occupants, including Jerjerrod.
