Legend

this Imperial Major was placed in command of the garrison on Hargeeva for two reasons: his loyalty and adherence to the New Order, and his knowledge of geology. He was a lifetime officer who hated individuality and variety. A short, stocky man, Pedrin was a fintess fanatic and was always meticulously groomed, further indications of his obsessive/compulsive personality. In his early career with the Imperial military, Pedrin served as the commander of an AT-AT platoon before he was chosen for the position on Hargeeva. He made sure that the Alliance didn't get a foothold in Arginall City, and was known to have kidnapped the relatives of suspected Alliance sympathizers and sent them to labor camps. However, he was unable to catch his greatest opponent, Stevan Makintay, nor could he break Ketrian Altronel and make her reveal the location of Eyrie Base. He was scheduled to be demoted when Makintay captured him on Hargeeva, but the capture was part of Pedrin's master plan to redeem himself. He had placed a tracking device in his arm, which allowed his forces to track his location. His plan succeeded, but Pedrin himself was imprisoned on an Alliance penal colony.
