Unidentified Orthavan captain

"Stay there, Rogue Leader. We're too badly overmatched. You can't help us."

- The captain of the Orthavan turning down Rogue Squadron's offer of assistance during the Battle of Qat Chrystac

An unidentified Mon Calamari individual served as the captain of the New Republic MC80 star cruiser Orthavan in 9 ABY at the Battle of Qat Chrystac, fought between elements of the New Republic fleet commanded by General Garm Bel Iblis and Imperial forces loyal to Grand Admiral Thrawn as part of a wider campaign against the Republic. During the battle, the Orthavan sustained heavy fire from two Victory-class Star Destroyers and the captain was injured; however, the presence of a hostile Interdictor-class Star Destroyer prevented any retreat to hyperspace. The starfighters of Rogue Squadron attempted to help out his beleaguered cruiser, but he turned down the offer. Bel Iblis subsequently utilized a squadron of A-wing starfighters to distract the Imperial forces long enough for the Orthavan to close in on the Imperial Interdictor and force it to break off, thus allowing the Republic units to retreat.
