Unidentified radio officer

A radio officer served the Galactic Empire on the planet Metalorn during the year 0 ABY. Alongside Governor Corwyth, the radio officer oversaw the hunt for Princess Leia Organa when she infiltrated the planet in the name of the Rebel Alliance. Using a tracking device implemented in a blaster rifle Organa stole, the officer followed the princess' movements through one of Metalorn's factories.

The hunt ultimately proved fruitless as Organa managed to use the Empire's weapons detection system against them by placing the stolen gun in an ore conveyor to throw off her pursuers. Corwyth tried to blame the failure in capturing Organa on the security system, but when the officer tried to reason that the system itself worked as intended, Corwyth throttled the officer by the collar.
