Legend

this Imperial Navy Commander was stationed at Bakura after he refused to destroy a Talz village on Alzoc III. While on Bakura, he was the commanding officer aboard the Dominant. Thanas had been assigned to monitor the mining operations on Alzoc III, and discovered that the native Talz worked harder if they were fed more food. He arranged his budgets, and nearly tripled the output of the operation. When a new commanding officer reduced the food allotments to the Talz, the Talz leader protested. The new commander ordered Thanas to wipe out the village, and he refused. While on Bakura, he began questioning his belief in the Emperor's New Order. After the attack by the Ssi-ruuk and the Alliance's offer of aid, Thanas only became more disturbed by the New Order's ideal. When the battle was over, he gave up his Imperial commission and joined the Alliance. He remained on Bakura, helping Gaerial Captison restore the planet's government. Their relationship blossomed, and they were married eight years after the Ssi-ruuk invasion. Their marriage produced a single daughter, Malinza, before Thanas was diagnosed with Knowt's disease. The disease took his life when Malinza was three, following Gaerial's unsuccessful bid for re-election as Prime Minister.
