Legend

this Imperial Navy Admiral was in command of the fleet sent by Sarn Shild to attack Nar Shaddaa. Prior to the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, the Hutt clas Desilijic had sent Han Solo to offer the Admiral a bribe. The bribe was in return for information about the impending attack, and for allowing the residents of Nar Shaddaa to win the battle without making it look like the Imperial fleet had given up. Greelanx took the bribe, providing the information and devising a battle plan that gave the residents of Nar Shaddaa a chance. Shortly before the battle, Greelnax received orders from someone in Excomm to lose the battle. He suddenly found himself able to accept the Hutts' bribe without compromising his position. However, the loss of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa was reported by Soontir Fel, and Greelanx came under the scrutiny of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Despite the orders from Excomm, Greelanx's acceptance of the Hutt's bribe was discovered. Within minutes of Greelanx's receiving payment from Han Solo, Vader arrived at his offices. The Dark Lord of the Sith executed Greelanx for accepting the bribes as Solo hid in an anteroom. Note that this character is referred to as Greenlanx in The Star Wars Essential Chronology.
