Gar Stazi

Gar Stazi was a Duros admiral serving the Galactic Alliance Remnant in 137 ABY. He appeared to be its Supreme Commander.

Command during Sith-Imperial War
Before the defeat of the Galactic Alliance during the Sith-Imperial War, Admiral Stazi was a prominent fleet commander. During the Battle of Caamas, Stazi led his fleet in a fighting withdrawal&mdash;keeping his remaining ships together. His performance at Caamas made him a legend among the Empire.

Opposition to the Sith Empire
By 137 ABY, Stazi appeared to lead the Galactic Alliance Remnant Fleet. During the seven years prior, Admiral Stazi maintained a campaign of harassment against the Sith-led Empire. Over time, his attacks proved to make his forces more of a threat to the Sith, rather than less of one.

Meeting on the Wheel
Stazi was the Alliance representative during a meeting at the Wheel with Fel loyalist Captain Mingo Bovark. They were negotiating a possible alliance between the Galactic Alliance Remnant and Imperials against the Sith. Stazi was reluctant at joining Fel at first, maintaining that he had little to offer the remnants of the Galactic Alliance fleet. However, the revelation that Fel had captured Bastion convinced the Admiral that discussions of an alliance were valuable.

However, Sith assassin Jor Tolin and Imperial agent Morrigan Corde managed to foil the proposed alliance between Fel's loyalist forces and the Galactic Alliance remnant by making it appear that Bovark's Imperial shuttle opened fire on Admiral Stazi's shuttle. Convinced that he was actually under attack, Stazi thrust at Bovark with a knife before Antares Draco force threw him against a wall. Admiral Stazi returned to his ship, departing the station.

Further actions
Gar Stazi later learned about a project the Sith were building and attempted to capture it by using his entire fleet.

Characteristics
Described as wily and determined, Admiral Stazi was considered a successful fleet commander. His fighting withdrawal from the debacle at Caamas made him a legend with Imperial commanders. Seven years of fighting the Sith-controlled Empire gave Stazi little patience, as well as a distrust of Imperial motives, evidenced by his reluctance to trust Roan Fel's representative during negotiations on the Wheel.

Behind the scenes
Jan Duursema said the name is pronounced STAH-zee.

As with many Legacy characters, Admiral Stazi seems to be based on characters from the Original Trilogy. His role as fleet commander of the Alliance draws some parallels to Admiral Ackbar.
