Lushros Dofine

Lushros Dofine, a relative to Captain Daultay Dofine of the Trade Federation battleship Saak'ak, was the Neimoidian captain of the Separatist Providence-class cruiser Invisible Hand during the Clone Wars. Like Daultay, he hailed from an influential Neimoidian family that had produced captains for generations and was assigned to Invisible Hand by Nute Gunray after the cruiser became the flagship of General Grievous.

Proving himself a capable commander, Lushros remained cool and collected in the heat of battle. When Invisible Hand was damaged by a Republic warship and fell out of orbit towards Coruscant during the second battle for the planet at the end of the Clone Wars, Lushros calmly gave the necessary orders to his crew of pilot battle droids to right the wounded ship and avert disaster.

Shortly after this, Lushros was on the bridge when the captive Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine were brought in by Grievous's IG-100 MagnaGuards. When Kenobi and Skywalker broke free and threw the bridge into chaos, Lushros was almost killed when Grievous shattered the main viewport in an attempt to suck the two Jedi into space as well as facilitate his own escape. Lushros and what remained of his crew then ran off the bridge when the cruiser fell out of orbit a second time and broke in half.

Lushros's fate following this is unknown; he presumably left the doomed vessel in an escape pod, was crushed in the wreckage when the vessel split in two or when it crash-landed on Coruscant, or was captured upon crash landing on the planet.

Trivia

 * In the novelization, General Grievous kills all the Neimoidians on the bridge of Invisible Hand, presumably including Lushros (though no names are ever given).


 * It is also notable that Lushros lacks the "mush-mouthed" accent of most other Neimoidians heard in the movies.
