Damon Krell

Admiral Damon Krell was a decorated officer in the Imperial navy in command of a Star Destroyer shortly after the Battle of Hoth. He was instrumental in the implementation of a modified Viper Probe Droid, model number 13-K. Krell sent the 13-K probe to track and commander Rebel Alliance starships. The probe droid took control of a Rebel blockade runner and slaughtered all of the ship’s personnel. It linked itself into the ship’s mainframe computer under instruction to overload the ship’s power core, thus destroying it. Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 infiltrated the ship in an effort to try to save the crew. A hidden sub-program existed inside the 13-K, which required it to detain Luke Skywalker and return to Imperial space should it ever encounter him. The 13-K piloted the blockade runner back towards Admiral Krell’s ship. Luke and R2-D2 evacuated the ailing ship via an escape pod just as the engine core went critical. The blockade runner exploded just as it collided with Admiral Krell’s destroyer. Krell and all of his officers died instantly.
