Legend

this Imperial Navy Captain was a member of the Kuat family, and was the commander of the Tyrannic during the early years of the New Republic. He maintained his command following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was part of the group picked by Moff Disra to begin his assault on the New Republic. Shortly after the revelation of the Bothan involvement in the Caamas Incident, Disra got Nalgol and three other Navy Captains together to introduce them to Thrawn, artfully portrayed by Flim. Although he didn't trust Disra, Nalgol accepted the command of an assault on the Bothan homeworld of Bothawui, in an attempt to further undermine the fragile position the New Republic was in at the time. Even with the reappearance of Thrawn, Nalgol questioned the necessity of the mission. Every vigilant, Nalgol shook Thrawn's hand after accepting his orders. This allowed him to use the specialized Kuat family crest ring to obtain a skin sample. The ring was designed to administer poison, but Nalgol hadn't used it in years. Disra, at Major Tierce's request, had taken great pains to alter Thrawn's records, so that any genetic analysis done by Nalgol would prove Flim to be the actual Thrawn. Like his comrades, including Captain Dorja, Nalgol was completely fooled by the performance and the subsequent confirmation of the false Thrawn's genetics. Arriving fully cloaked in the Bothawui system, Nalgol and his peers captured a comet in a masterful piece of coordination. The comet was brought into the cloaking devce's range, and the Tyrannic was hidden behind it. As the comet moved toward Bothawui, Nalgol was under orders to attack from behind the cloak, in an effort to draw the various alien forces amassed there into an all-out civil war.
