Legend

this man served the Empire as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Admiral Quist was in command of the Star Destroyer Conqueror, that served as Darth Vader's flagship shortly after the Battle of Yavin, after Vader returned to the Empire and began searching for Luke Skywalker. When the Millennium Falcon re-appeared at Yavin 4, to begin assisting the Alliance with locating a suitable planet for its new base, Vader ordered Admiral Quist to capture the freighter. Han Solo, however, avoided capture by flying into a nearby asteroid field. Quist ordered that the Imperial pursuit be cut off when most of his TIE Fighters were destroyed by asteroids. Unfortunately, Vader was not pleased with Quist's inability to capture the ship, and used the Force to choke Quist to death.
