Legend

a native of Alderaan, Lohn Genden left the planet at the age of twenty-five, some twenty-one years before the planet was destroyed by the first Death Star. In the time before Alderaan's destruction, Genden was believed to have been under the command of Imperial Intelligence, but was unheard of until shortly before the Battle of Hoth. Then, he ambushed a luxury liner and held the passengers hostage while demanding the release of Imperial captives. Emperor Palpatine refused , and Genden destroyed the liner and all 10,000 passengers. Several months after the Battle of Endor, Genden re-appeared and took command of a New Republic military base. He again demanded the release of prisoners being held in Republic prisons, but he was driven off before any further action occurred. He managed to elude capture, and was not seen again. It is believed that he retreated to the moon of Gormdin.
