Legend

this Imperial Moff who was placed in control of the planet Questal some three to four years before the Battle of Hoth, in an attempt to quell the population there. A ruggedly-handsome man with a muscular physique, Bandor worked his was up the ladder through bootlicking and treachery. He aspired to be Emperor Palpatine's rght-hand man, and it irked him that he couldn't control the Force. He served faithfully, and gladly assumed control of Questal. There were several factions, all of which were fighting over claims of the mineral Ardanium. The Emperor wanted to control the mining of ardanium, in an effort to bolster the construction of Super-class Star Destroyers, and Bandor was given control of the planet. He ruled with an iron fist, and installed several of the major criminals in positions of power. At the same time, Bandor was experimenting with the potential use of hurlothrumbic generators as weapons to use against the Alliance. The generator induced fear when activated, and this was translated by the locals has Bandor's use of the Dark Side. Bandor did nothing to dispute this, as it added to his power. He was apprehended by Alliance forces on the planet Questal before he could perfect the weapon.
