Palpatine Essex Yerac

Lieutenant Colonel P. Essex Yerac (full name Palpatine Essex Yerac) was a Rebel Alliance officer who coincidentially shared first name with the emperor. Due to this, he commonly abbreviated his first name as "P."

Yerac fought in the Battle of Archais, probably as a member of Midnight Squadron from Eclipse Team. During the battle, with the Rebel units trapped by the Assasin's Guild and by Lieutenant Colonel Freja Covell's forces, Rebel officer Moshara Tiirn deserted, which led to an increasingly bad situation for the Rebels. Many Rebels died in the battle because of Tiirn's treason. Yerac's hatred towards Tiirn was well-known; General Airen Cracken feared for her life should he ever find her.

Yerac also tracked independent bounty hunters through the fog banks of Hewl's Karap Valley. Suddenly, two red eyes appeared from the fog itself and it asked him to keep distances. Yerac obeyed, but he identified the "eyes" as Filar-Nitzan spy Vacander. Yerac eventually tried to write a report on Vacander for The Task Force on Alliance Security, but he could not find a lot of information.
