Legend

this man was one of the small cadre' of Imperial officers who allied themselves with Grand Moff Trachta during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. A General in the Imperial armed forces, Skosef was assigned by Trachta to oversee the infiltration of special agents onto the shuttle which would have taken Emperor Palpatine to the first Death Star. The assassination attempt was actually a feint, designed to eliminate a large portion of Palpatine's personal detachment of stormtroopers. Trachta's specially-altered replacements would then be presented as a gift to Palpatine, allowing them to overtly infiltrate the Emperor's guard. Unfortunately for Skosef, his constant opposition to Trachta's plans led Trachta to set up a communications chain that linked Skosef to the explosion aboard the Mathayus that was supposed to assassinate Darth Vader. Skosef was arrested and later executed for his treachery.
