Ennix Devian

"Ennix Devian?! Palpatine's henchman? I knew him. It sickens me to even hear his name."

- Ragez D'Asta, to Kir Kanos

Ennix Devian was a Human male assassin who became the leader of a dissident Imperial faction, the Restored Empire.

Early life
"I know who you are ... And where you came from. Correct me if I’m mistaken, but you had a reputation under the Emperor as a hitman. Some would even say a thug. I know your history and your dirty work well. I don't trust you."

- Kir Kanos to Devian

Originally, Devian was an assassin in the Galactic Empire. He was selected by Darth Vader himself, after a selection process that killed his competitors.

The Restored Empire
"I fear for the Republic, for your sister's family... They are in danger. You must warn them about a man named Devian"

- Vima-Da-Boda to Luke Skywalker

Admiral Devian later proclaimed himself Supreme Commander of the Restored Empire faction.

In 13 ABY, the Supreme Commander Devian organized a complex plot to destroy the New Republic and take control the Imperial Remnant. Vima-Da-Boda told Luke Skywalker about Devian, telling Luke to warn his sister about him.

The "phase one" of his operation was an attempt to assassinate Leia Organa Solo and her children on Coruscant. The attack failed due to the intervention of Mirith Sinn but it was without consequence for the following operations.

An other part of Devian's plot included the bounty hunter Boba Fett, the Yuuzhan Vong Nom Anor and the former Royal Guard Kir Kanos. While Devian hired Fett to bring Kir Kanos to the Restored Empire headquarters, Nom Anor hired a team of thieves to attack the class-3 toxic weapons dump on Nyara in order to retrieve a chunk of zinethium. Devian wanted to use this destructive material to destroy the Imperial Palace on Coruscant and eliminate the New Republic government. As expected, Kir Kanos refused to join the hard-liners who imprisoned him. Devian later let him escape and sacrificed some stormtroopers to convince Kanos he was really free. Kir Kanos immediately departed to Coruscant to warn the New Republic but he was unaware that Devian had embedded the zinethium inside the shuttle, predicting Kanos would travel to the galactic capital. This time, it was Jedi Master Luke Skywalker who prevented the attack.



Devian later learned that New Republic and Imperial diplomats, including Kanos, Mirith Sinn and Feena D'Asta, had planned to meet to discuss a truce between the two factions. The Restored Empire stormtroopers who attacked the meeting were all eliminated but D'Asta was killed

Shocked by the death of Feena D'Asta and suspecting a New Republic betrayal, Admiral Gilad Pellaeon ordered the Imperial Navy to attack the Republic in retaliation, leaving the Imperial capital Orinda insufficiently defended. The ancient but massive Restored Empire fleet was able to destroy the small defense fleet and attack the planet.
