Jerjerrod (admiral)

"Every being serving knows that the weapons he uses, the ships on which he serves, the droids and computers on which his life depends&mdash;every piece of equipment which he will expect to use&mdash;was designed as a result of a Senate compromise to keep each constituent commercial interest happy. Upon entering combat with such equipment a crewman's sole consolation is a grim satisfaction that our enemies probably stole their equipment from us."

- Admiral Jerjerrod

Jerjerrod was an admiral in the Galactic Republic in the latter days of the Galactic Republic, presumably a senior officer of the federal Navy that operated under Judicial Department authority.

Biography
While serving with the Naval Command, Jerjerrod wrote a series of reports for his superiors and colleagues, in which he was critical of Republic procurement procedures. When these were leaked to the media, he was called to testify to the Procurement Panel of the Senate Naval Subcommittee.

In response to criticisms from Senators Gopple and V'troren, he insisted that he had not been responsible for the leaks, but nevertheless used the occasion to claim that political and commercial concerns were leading to the supply of persistently inadequate of Naval equipment. This, he insinuated, was causing widespread discontent within the military.

Behind the scenes
While it is likely that he was related to the future Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod, the nature of their relationship is unknown.
