Legend

this man was the son of Ronnan Tyla Vedij and a native of Coruscant. Like his father, Dhas joined the Imperial Navy and had a distinguished career. After earning the rank of Captain, Dhas was promoted to serve aboard the frigate Far Orbit. He was second in command of the Far Orbit when Alderaan was destroyed, and had become disgruntled with the leadership of Captain Kenit. The destruction of the planet, and the propaganda that followed, further soured Vedij's loyalty to the Empire. The deaths of his parents in a so-called traffic accident added fuel to the fire. After Kenit ordered the destruction of the Silent Blades, losing an entire starfighter squadron - and Elon Vedij's life in the process - Dhas could no longer contain his hatred of Kenit and the Empire. Vedij and a group of followers (about two-thirds of the crew) staged a mutiny, and successfully wrested control of the frigate from Captain Kenit. They then became independent privateers, and allied themselves with the Alliance in order to obtain funding and strike back at the Empire. Vedij and his crew participated in a series of raids on Imperial installations in the Ringali Shell, during the Alliance's experiment in using pirates and privateers to assist in the Galactic Civil War.
