Gilad Pellaeon

Pellaeon was a male captain who served in the naval forces of the Galactic Empire as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn's Seventh Fleet. In the year 1 BBY, Pellaeon was deployed in the Imperial blockade in orbit around Lothal when a band of rebels led by Padawan Ezra Bridger were attempting to liberate the planet from Imperial occupation. After being informed that the entire blockade was destroyed by "several unidentified objects," Thrawn contacted the captain to ask about the situation, but only to hear that the attackers came out of hyperspace before the communication was quickly cut off. Moments later, it was revealed that the ships were destroyed by flocks of purrgils&mdash;massive whale-like creatures that were naturally capable of travelling through hyperspace&mdash;as part of Bridger's plan.
