Legend

this Imperial Moff controlled the planet Otunia, and survived the upheavel following the Battle of Endor. Every bit as combative and abusive as his name implied, Harsh was said to have been an Imperial supporter even as a youth. One story told of his beating a bully senseless with a tock, after the bully crushed a Star Destroyer model Harsh had been playing with. After graduating with honors from the Imperial Academy, Harsh was taken in by an influential Imperial Senator, where he learned a great deal about politics. Harsh eventually earned the command of the Star Destroyer Cauldron, and was dispatched to eliminate the rebel threat on Chabosh. Harsh himself led the stormtroopers into battle against the Alliance forces, but he sustained terrible damage to his legs. Rather than accept cybernetic replacements, Harsh willed himself to heal without surgical assistance. His recovery only added fuel to his growing legend, and he was personally named Moff of the Bosph Sector by Emperor Palpatine.
