Dorja

Dorja (66 BBY - ?) was a starship captain and officer in the Imperial Starfleet. The seventh in a line of starship commanders from Coruscant, Dorja was a conservative officer and extremely cautious commander, often to the point of avoiding direct engagement. Dorja may have been the father of Vana Dorja, as it was indicated that she was the daughter of a Star Destroyer captain, but no qualified evidence has been discovered.

After receiving command of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Relentless, Dorja saw action against an uprising on Gerrard V.

At the Battle of Endor, Dorja commanded his ship against the Rebel Alliance fleet. While his contemporaries viewed Dorja's caution as a lack of initiative, it was that very care that allowed Relentless to escape the battle unscathed. Dorja remained with Pellaeon after the battle, although he was skeptical of Pellaeon's assumption of command, believing himself to be the proper savior of the fleet.

The emergence of Grand Admiral Thrawn gave Dorja a new opportunity to prove his worth. After openly criticizing Thrawn and Pellaeon, Dorja was assigned second roles such as the assault on New Cov and a supporting role in the Battle of Bilbringi. Dorja survived the conflict and several other Imperial defeats, proving that his caution was no detriment. In fact, Dorja was one of the few starship captains who had retained control of his Star Destroyer in the decade following Thrawn's defeat.

In 19 ABY, Dorja was recruited by Moff Disra for the dubious task of intercepting Pellaeon at Morishim. By appealing to Dorja's Imperial loyalty and pride, Disra hoped to sway the elderly captain into killing Pellaeon and preventing his attempts at peace with the New Republic, but Dorja was skeptical of Disra's intentions and questioned his authority to command fleet movements beyond his sector. The appearance of Flim as Thrawn was enough to sway Dorja, and he left for Morishim. It was there that Relentless intercepted Pellaeon's courier, Colonel Meizh Vermel, and transported him to Rimcee Station.

Dorja's fate after the defeat of Disra is unknown.
