Legend

this Imperial Grand Moff ruled the Outer Rim Territories following the death of Wilhuf Tarkin. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, Kaine found himself in a position to assume command of a large portion of the Empire. A gifted speaker, he was the mastermind behind the formation of the Pentastar Alignment, calling together the leaders of the Velcar Free Commerce Zone and making them see his vision and support it during a series of meetings which became known as the Pentastar Talks. He more or less ignored the call to arms of Grand Admiral Thrawn, waiting until his own forces were ready to attack the New Republic themselves. He formed the Alignment with the intent of gaining the support of corporations, and created a highly-organized force that maintained the ideals of the New Order, although with a slightly modified implmentation. During the runninf of Operation Shadow Hand, Moff Kaine was killed, and the Pentastar Alignment floundered.
