Rebu

"During certain maneuvers, the jets produce a turbulent backwash of superheated air which creates an immensely loud, high-pitched shrieking sound."

- Inspector-General Moff Rebu

Rebu was a Human male who lived during the height of the Galactic Empire. In addition to his title of Moff, he also served in the Imperial Navy as an Inspector-General. In the year 1 BBY, he represented the interests of the Imperial Department of Military Research by overseeing the successful field testing of the Nemesis-class gunship.

Biography
"However, while the Nemesis is an extremely effective weapons-platform, perfectly suited to the roles of close-air support and civilian pacification, it may simply be too exotic for widespread service."

- Inspector-General Moff Rebu

When the Galactic Civil War began after the Rebel Alliance rose to challenge the dominant Galactic Empire for primacy over the galaxy, Moff Rebu served Emperor Palpatine as one of the many regional governors whose increasing authority was tuning the Imperial Senate into an obsolete relic of the Old Republic. By 1 BBY, a new and experimental military vessel was added to the considerable arsenal of the Imperial Navy. In his capacity as Inspector-General, Rebu was responsible for overseeing the development and field testing of the Nemesis-class gunship.

Hence, Moff Rebu oversaw the Nemesis' first deployment to Polomie, planet that contained a Rebel military outpost. Not only did the gunship exceed all expectations when it obliterated the Rebel presence on Polomie, it also revealed a few unexpected qualities as well. In addition to its exceptionally lethal weapons and firepower, the gunship's jet-drives system produced a screeching, high-pitched sound that caused a severe drop in enemy morale and sent many Rebel troopers fleeing for their lives.

Following the success of the Nemesis' first field test, Moff Rebu provided a detailed report to the Imperial Department of Military Research. He was pleased to inform the department that the new gunship was an excellent addition to the vast quantity of military vessels at the Empire's disposal. However, Rebu was also disappointed by the fact that the gunship's heavy arsenal was far too expensive for mass production. Thus, he anticipated that the small number of Nemesis-class gunships would only be affordable to the exceptionally wealthy Moffs and governors of the Empire.

Personality and traits
"Both the Hellcaster cannon and concussion missiles were highly effective in, respectively, an anti-personnel and anti-armor capacity, and the gunship returned to base with only minimal damage."

- Inspector-General Moff Rebu

Moff Rebu was a staunch Imperialist who supported the Galactic Empire against the opposition of the Rebel Alliance. While surveying the Nemesis-class gunship, which Rebu paid close attention to every detail and aspect, he was greatly pleased with the new vessel and its capability to annihilate Rebel forces while sustaining only minimal damage. He also proud of the gunship's highly effective, yet costly firepower and weapons arsenal. At the same time, however, Rebu was also displeased by the fact that theNemesis was far too expensive to be built in larger numbers and dispersed throughout the Imperial Navy.
