Gilad Pellaeon
In Legends of old Expanded Universe
Gilad Pellaeon, nicknamed Gil, was a dedicated Human male naval officer, serving for seven decades in the fleets of the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, Imperial Remnant, and Galactic Alliance, and rose to the position of Supreme Commander for the latter two governments.
He began his career in the Republic's Judicial Forces, where he ascended the ranks and captained the assault ship, Leveler, during the Clone Wars.
Pellaeon developed a strong attachment to the navy as an institution, and when the Republic became the Empire, he continued serving aboard the Star Destroyer Chimaera.
At the Battle of Endor, the Chimaera fell under Pellaeon's command, issuing the retreat order.
Captain Pellaeon remained one of the fleet's more prominent officers until the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who selected the Chimaera as his flagship and made Pellaeon his right-hand man.
Pellaeon grew to respect and admire Thrawn throughout the Grand Admiral's campaign against the New Republic. Still, when Thrawn was assassinated at the Battle of Bilbringi, Pellaeon again was forced to call a retreat. After Thrawn's death and the failed return of Palpatine, the Empire crumbled around Pellaeon.
He found himself serving as the second-in-command of the warlord Treutlen Teradoc. Still, when Admiral Natasi Daala shared with him her vision of rebuilding the Empire and ending warlordism, he defected to her. He played a key role in forming the Imperial Remnant.
Upon Daala's defeat at Yavin 4, she turned command of the Remnant over to Admiral Pellaeon, making him Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet.
He rebuilt the fleet and fought a series of campaigns against the New Republic but was frequently driven back as the Remnant's resources shriveled.
In 19 ABY, He finally accepted that the only way for the Empire to survive was through a peace treaty and forced the Council of Moffs to accept a truce with the New Republic. When the Imperial capital fell to the extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong invaders years later, Pellaeon played on the Imperial fleet's absolute loyalty to him to overcome the old-line Moffs' resistance and join the newly formed Galactic Alliance, leading a series of victories over the Yuuzhan Vong.
At the war's close, Pellaeon retired but returned to serve as the supreme commander of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force when his predecessor Sien Sovv was killed.
In that capacity, Pellaeon led the Galactic Alliance through the Swarm War and the early stages of the Second Galactic Civil War before once more retiring.
He returned to service as the head of state of the Imperial Remnant. Still, He died in 41 ABY at Fondor, assassinated by Tahiri Veila when he refused to support Darth Caedus's faction of the Galactic Alliance.

Gilad Pellaeon was a male individual who served as a captain in the naval forces of the Galactic Empire, commanding the Imperial Star Destroyer Harbinger as part of Grand Admiral Balanhai Savit's Third Fleet. When Savit was exposed as a traitor stealing components from Project Stardust, Pellaeon sided with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Commodore Karyn Faro and helped them arrest his superior.
After Savit was relieved of his duty, Pellaeon and the Harbinger were reassigned to assist Thrawn's Seventh Fleet.
With Thrawn, Pellaeon participated in the Imperial blockade of the planet Lothal until the rebel Spectres and their allies liberated it shortly before the Battle of Yavin.
During the liberation, all Imperial starships present were destroyed by flocks of the space-faring purrgil, and Pellaeon's communication with the Grand Admiral was quickly cut off.
