Legend

this tall, gaunt man was a former Imperial General who retired from active duty and became Governor of the Sil'Lume System. Noticeable by his silvery hair and ice-blue, piercing eyes, Parnell strove to bring the vast array of miners and prospectors in the Sil'Lume Asteroid Belt under Imperial control during the height of the New Order. To that end, he established a huge prison complex on Tol Ado, and tried to capture and execute Erling Tredway, who had been fomenting peaceful dissention among the miners. Although he succeeded in capturing Erling after destroying much of the facilities on 24 Tredway and killing Erling's mother, Parnell was unable to get any information from him before Luke Skywalker rescued Erling. They escaped only when Erling assumed the identity of Darth Vader - using a mock-up of Vader's armor found in Parnell's quarters - and ordered Parnell to provide him with a shuttle.
