Legend

an Imperial Navy Captain, Needa was one of Ozzel's closest advisors in the Imperial fleet. A veteran of the Clone Wars, Needa held the rank of Lieutenant Commander during the First Battle of Coruscant, when he commanded the Carrack-class cruiser Integrity. It was Needa who demanded the surrender of General Grievous, but he was unable to prevent the cyborg's escape. During the era of the New Order, Needa was promoted to the command of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Avenger, and was part of the fleet that attacked Hoth in order to destroy the Alliance's Echo Base.. Following Ozzel's inability to follow instructions at the Battle of Hoth, Needa was directed by Darth Vader to follow the Millenium Falcon into the Hoth asteroid belt. Needa's failure to capture the Falcon resulted in his execution at the hands of Vader.
