Legend

one of the key designers of the original Victory-class Star Destroyer, he was an Engineer for the Old Republic. Blissex was the lead designed on the team which developed the Delta-7 Aethersprite for the Jedi Knights, shortly before the onset of the Clone Wars. He later improved upon this design when he developed the Alpha-3 Nimbus fighter, which became known as the V-Wing. He went into hiding when the New Order was initiated by Emperor Palpatine, not wanting to be judged by his support of the Republic. However, when the Alliance began making headway in its battle against the Empire, Blissex re-emerged. His daughter, Lira Wessex, laid a trap for him by having her husband send an all-systems message, requesting that Blissex come to see his "dying daughter." Lira and enn Wessex had dispatched the Star Destroyer Subjugator to intercept Blissex at Kwenn space station. Although the Alliance fought against the idea, Blissex opted to visit ihis daughter, taking a small group of Alliance agents with him for support. When the plot against him was revealed, Blissex and the agents were thrown into the shpi's brig. Shortly afterward, the Subjugator was attacked by Task Force Starfall Alliance starships which were unaware of Blissex's presence. The Alliance agents fought to escape from the brig and get free of the Subjugator before it exploded. They managed to survive, with Blissex's knowledge of the Victory-class ships and the Alliance agents' resourcefulness. He later provided his full resources to the Alliance, and was given the honorary rank of General for his contributions. He worked with Jan Dodonna to develop the A-Wing starfighter, shortly before the Battle of Endor.
