Terrinald Screed/Legends

"I do not want my child to grow up knowing war. But I do want my child to know the Republic, and I fear that our current course will not allow for it."

- Terrinald Screed

Terrinald Screed was an admiral in the Imperial Starfleet and later a warlord.

Early service in the Old Republic
A graduate of the Academy of Carida, Screed originally served as an officer in the Judicial Department of the Old Republic. It was during this time that he received his cyborg eye, for reasons unknown. He attached himself to Palpatine's rising star in the Republic, supported the creation of the clone army, and viewed the Clone Wars as a useful opportunity to slash the decadence of the Galactic Republic.

During the war, Screed, along with another rising commander, Jan Dodonna, commanded the first fleet of Victory I-class Star Destroyers. Screed and Dodonna took the fleet to break the siege of Foerost, in a campaign to decide which side would control the Core Worlds. Screed lost an eye during the campaign, but the Republic was successful. Both commanders were declared heroes, and Screed was promoted to Vice Admiral and placed in charge of the defense fleet at Coruscant.

Imperial era
After the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine placed Screed in the upper echelons of the Imperial Starfleet. As an admiral, Screed patrolled the edges of the Empire for opportunities and was the key Imperial agent in the Roon debacle. For a short time Boc Aseca was Screed's slave, until Jerec claimed him for the Inquisitorius.

While a competent commander, the rise of other officers, namely Moffs and Grand Admirals, pushed Screed from Emperor Palpatine's favor.

After the Battle of Endor, Screed became one of many warlords who attempted to carve an empire out of former Imperial space. Screed died at the hands of Warlord Zsinj.
