Roan Fel

"Roan Fel never really embraced the war or the idea of a unified Galaxy. He went along with it as a political necessity. That's not what the Empire&mdash;what the Galaxy&mdash;needs."

- Darth Krayt

Roan Fel was the third Emperor of the Fel Dynasty to rule the new Galactic Empire, and a presumed descendant of General Baron Soontir Fel, the famed Imperial starfighter pilot. A fully trained Imperial Knight and an able military and political leader, Fel kept the Empire on a straight course, following in the footsteps of his grandfather.

In 127 ABY, Roan Fel took the Empire to war against the Galactic Alliance, with the support of the the new Sith Order. Unlike Darth Krayt and some on the Moff Council, the Emperor did not view the war as the means to achieve a grand ideological agenda. Rather, he saw it as a political necessity, the best course of action for the Empire in a troubled Galaxy.

Three years later, the war was over. The Alliance fell with the conquest of Coruscant, and three days later, the Massacre at Ossus all-but wiped out the New Jedi Order. However, Fel seems to have realized that Darth Krayt and Grand Admiral Morlish Veed were plotting betrayal, and he arranged for a double to appear in his place at the meeting at which they planned to assassinate him and take power.

Thus, although the Moffs believed that Krayt had killed the Emperor when he seized the throne, Roan Fel remained free to plan his response. However, his daughter and heir-apparent, Princess Marasiah Fel, was soon to be caught up in the Sith plot.
