Legend

this Imperial Admiral was placed in command of the garrison on Gamandar, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Distinguished by his rakish goatee and a reddish, cybernetic eye that replaced his lost left eye, Tower ruled Gamandar with an iron fist. He quickly subjugated the population, and extracted much of the planet's natural resources in just a few years, while acting on plans that were masterminded by Darth Vader himself. Shortly before the Battle of Endor, Tower tried to assassinate Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa on Iskalon, thanks to a tip from Kendle. Shortly afterward, Tower was approached by Lando Calrissian, who disguised himself and used the alias of Barpotomous Drebble. "Drebble" wanted to settle a score with Tay Vanis, and Tower was willing to support his mission of revenge. However, unknown to Lando, Admiral Tower knew that he was acting the part of Drebble, and only agreed to work with "Drebble" to ensure the capture of more Alliance agents. Unfortunately for Admiral Tower, however, the droid K3PX was reporting on his activities to Lord Vader. It relayed information on the use of a missile to destroy the city of Pavillion, which was deemed excessive use of force by the Dark Lord. Vader personally traveled to Gamandar to arrest and execute Tower for his actions.
