Harcourt, Aron
this man was once a Captain in the Imperial Navy, during the early years of the New Order. He was a veteran of the Clone Wars, and faithfully served under the rule of Emperor Palpatine. However, after his Star Destroyer, the Anya Karu, was sabotaged by Alliance agents and forced to crash on a remote planet, Harcourt was chosen as the scapegoat for the crash. He reluctantly and loyally agreed, but he was forced out of the command structure and placed in charge of a remote outpost. After his wife Janelle died, some three years before the Battle of Yavin, Harcourt hired Boba Fett to return to the crash of the Anya Karu and recover a small hologram of his wife. Unfortunately, Harcourt knew that he could not pay Fett's price for the recovery of the hologram. He knowingly allowed himself the pleasure of seeing Janelle one more time before Fett executed him for his failure to pay.
