Legend

this corrupt Imperial Colonel was in command of the Imperial garrison on Phaeda in the years after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. In his youth, Shev cared little for the Empire, until he was implicated in a crime. He chose attending the Imperial Academy over being sent to the spice minesof Kessel, and remained in Imperial service ever since. A tall, bald man with a neatly trimmed goatee, he was too busy accepting bribes from the local smugglers to notice that the New Republic had set up a cell on his planet. He was in a bar with his officers when Kir Kanos arrived on Phaeda. When Kanos eliminated his officers and a squadron of stormtroopers, Shev set out to capture Kanos himself, in the hope of gaining favor with Carnor Jax. Jax's commander, General Wessel, learned of the incident from one of Shev's Lieutenants, and ordered Shev's forces to stand down so that Jax could personally take care of Kanos. Shev realized that his garrison would never stand up to an inspection, and realized that his only hope for remaining alive was to have Kanos in custody when Jax arrived. To this end, he paid Tem Merkon a hefty sum for the location of Kanos and Mirith Sinn's hideout. He then ordered a full assault on the hideout, but his forces were overwhelmed by Kanos' counterattack. When Jax arrived on Phaeda, he executed Shev for his betrayal.
