Tal Ashen

General Tal Ashen served the Imperial Army during the Galactic Civil War. Before his death, Palpatine hand-picked Ashen to command the elite defense force of the Imperial Palace.

When the New Republic launched its assault on Coruscant in 7 ABY, Ashen's ability to defend the palace was challenged. Despite several All Terrain Armored Transports, a legion of the Emperor's finest troops, a squad of Royal Guards, advanced starfighter support and a series of defensive positions, Ashen was defeated by the New Republic forces led by Rand Talor. During the battle, Ashen's All Terrain-Armored Transport was brought to the ground. It is unknown if he perished in the crash.
