Traest Kre'fey

"We're going to smash the Vong! We're going to smash them every day, we're going to smash them until there are no more Yuuzhan Vong."

- Traest Kre'fey

Traest Kre'fey was a Bothan Admiral in the New Republic and Galactic Alliance forces. He led Alliance forces at a number of engagements during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He was a grandson of Laryn Kre'fey, and as the Kre'fey's lost much of their power due to his grandfather's failure at Borleias, Kre'fey was sent to a small satellite training moon of the Bothan Military Academy. There, he was instructed under a rather unorthodox Bothan teacher, and became a rather unorthodox in his views of Bothan society. While he was a first cousin of Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya, he disagreed with his kinsman about the threat of the Vong, and their relationship was rather combative, though for Bothans that was rather typical. He recognized the threat of the Yuuzhan Vong early on, and threatened to take the military into the Unknown Regions if Fey'lya would not act. Unlike other Admirals, Kre'fey actively sought the help of the Jedi. From his flagship Ralroost, Kre'fey participated at the final battle of the war in the space around Coruscant, and was present at the formal surrender of the Yuuzhan Vong. Following the surrender of the Vong, Kre'fey became the Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force and earned the title "Liberator of Coruscant". However, as the Bothans refused to cease the state of ar'kai, Kre'fey was forced to resign shortly there after.

On the Ralroost's bulkhead, he inscribed two questions: "What can I do to hurt the Vong today?" and "How can I help my own side grow stronger?", to remind his crew to try to answer.
