Biography
A male, Jimas Veltraa was an Admiral in the Republic Navy in the years following the Great Sith War. Although by 3,964 BBY the epic battles with the Sith had passed, the Galactic Republic, and the Navy that Veltraa served, found itself facing a new enemy when the Mandalorian warrior clans started a crusade against the Republic on the Outer Rim. As the Mandalorians began to threaten resource worlds near the ecumenopolis of Taris, the Navy formed a defensive cordon known as the Jebble-Vanquo-Tarnith line. By then, Veltraa was in command of his own flagship, the Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship Reliance. Eventually, the line collapsed, and the Mandalorians broke out towards their goal, Taris&mdash;Admiral Veltraa reacted by reforming the remnants of the Outer Rim fleets into a makeshift force protecting Taris. Although Veltraa held out valiantly, the Reliance was destroyed in the Mandalorian attack on Taris, with all hands lost. Veltraa was memorialized on the Republic capital of Coruscant and honored for his heroism, with the Supreme Chancellor giving a speech crediting Veltraa with delaying the Mandalorian siege. Although there was talk of renaming a new class of warship recently approved for construction at Corellia after Veltraa, the Chancellor supported keeping the original name, the Interdictor-class, which Veltraa had proposed. In the wake of Veltraa's death, newly-promoted Admiral Saul Karath, who was not able to attend the Coruscant ceremony, sent a message honoring the late Admiral and dedicated his next campaign against the invaders to Veltraa's memory.
