Tion (Human)

Lord Tion was an officer in the Imperial Navy. He was also a native of the planet Tion. He was a believer of Grand Moff Tarkin's infamous Tarkin Doctrine. Tion was responsible for the pacification of Ralltiir, a critic of the Emperor Palpatine's policies. Imperial military forces disbanded the Ralltiiri High Council and placed its population in prison camps. Interrogation centers were also set up and Stormtroopers patrolled the streets. Tion also sealed off the entire Ralltiir system (not even permitting relief organizations to travel through his blockade), severely damaging commerce along the Perlemian Trade Route.

Prior to the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa went on a mercy mission to deliver medical supplies and equipment to the Raltiiri High Council. She was permitted to land by Tion himself. There, Leia rescued a wounded Rebel soldier, who later revealed the existence of the first Death Star. Later, Leia killed Tion in self defense, making her an enemy of the Empire.
