Siv Kav

Siv Kav was a vicelord and the Neimoidian fleet commander of a joint Trade Federation/Techno Union task force supervised by Kinman Doriana, dispatched on orders of Darth Sidious to intercept and destroy Outbound Flight in 27 BBY. He wore a five-pointed hat.

Kav's force was dealt a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Chiss commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo,(Thrawn) and Kav himself was killed soon afterward by a blaster shot that richoched off of a reversed personal shield taken from a droideka when he tried to avenge his pride against Thrawn.

Meeting with Kinman Doriana
"Vicelord Siv Kav. May I say how very uncomfortable you look."

- Kinman Doriana

Siv Kav's first appearance was when he was found wedged hidden in the holo alcove off the cockpit's aft bulkhead of Kinman Doriana's ship. He had apparently boarded the ship while Doriana was meeting with Captain Pakmillu to receive the passenger list of Outbound Flight. Through further questioning, Kav admitted to hiding in Doriana's ship to find out Doriana's true name and position instead of waiting in the guest cabin as he had been instructed to. After he found this out, Doriana ordered Kav to forget that he had ever heard his true name and position and to refer to Doriana instead as "Commander Stratis", the name that Doriana had told Kav before.

The intention of this meeting was for Kav to give Doriana the coordinates to the separatist fleet that Kav had put together to destroy Outbound Flight. Kav gave Doriana the datacard containing the coordinates, and they left shortly after. They got to the fleet two days later.

Battle with Thrawn
"He is a braggart beyond anything I have yet seen. I hear no threat in that message, Vicelord. All I hear is a local asking what we're doing in his territory."

- Siv Kav and Kinman Doriana before they make contact with Thrawn

While aboard the command ship, Darkvenge, of Special Task Force One, Commander Mith'raw'nuruodo made contact, stating his name, the name of his defense fleet, and asked to identify themselves and to state their intentions. Unsure of what he should do, Kav woke Doriana from his slumber. Doriana wasn't impressed. He asks Kav to open a hailing channel and explains to the Commander that they mean no harm to him or his people and that the details of their mission must remain confidential. In turn, Mith'raw'nuruodo tells Doriana that his reassurances are insufficient. Beside Doriana, Kav starts complaining that this is a waste of his time. Doriana quickly hits the mute button and starts arguing with Kav. Kav wants to destroy Mith'raw'nuruodo and his defense fleet while Doriana argues that he first wants to find out who they are and where they come from. Kav tells Doriana that he is in charge of Special Task Force One, not Doriana. Kav decides to attack using the droid starfighters from Keeper, one of his battleships.

Mith'raw'nuruodo first lets the battle wage a while, then jams the signal going out to the droid starfighters. The droid starfighters shut down, continuing in the direction they were going when they were going before when they were active. The alien fighters started easily picking off all the inactive ships one by one. The separatist fleet struggles to regain control of them using laser communications. Kav tries launching missiles from his Hardcell-class interstellar transports. The missiles lock on to the alien fighters, but the fighters deployed Connor nets. The missiles intercepted with them and detonated. Mith'raw'nuruodo sends missiles of his own at the Techno Union Ships. To Kav's dismay, one of the missile clusters finds a weak spot and destroys one of the ships. Mith'raw'nuruodo targets the same spot on all of the other Techno Union Ships, destroying them all. Kav decides to make a jump to lightspeed but the hyperdrive doesn't respond. Siv Kav admits defeat. Doriana orders the Neimoidians running the ship to close down the midline quad laser batteries, seal the main hangar exits, shut down all the droid starfighters, and to prepare for company.
