Vanko was an Imperial Moff during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography
An elderly career soldier and a friend of Emperor Palpatine, Vanko was one of two Moffs with territories bordering the Maelstrom. Along with Moff Torpin, Vanko submitted falsified budgets and financial reports to the Empire to try and disguise the fact that he was losing a great deal of money to the Riders of the Maelstrom, a pirate group. He and Torpin met in secret on the planet Aris, then boarded the Kuari Princess to discuss what their next moves would be. Both believed that the pirate groups were woking with the Rebel Alliance to plan a major offensive against their forces. Vanko and Torpin barely escaped from the Princess after it was hijacked by the Riders and rescued by Alliance agents.
