Kagi/Legends

"Tell Captain Kagi to prepare my shuttle for immediate takeoff."

- Emperor Palpatine to Mas Amedda

Kagi was an officer who served the starfleets of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire.

History
Captain Kagi served in the military forces of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Upon the birth of the Galactic Empire, Kagi committed himself to serving Emperor Palpatine in the newly-created Imperial Navy. Kagi was stationed on Coruscant and given command of Palpatine's personal Cygnus Spaceworks Theta-class T-2c shuttle, which carried a crew of up to five pilots, gunners, and officers.

Kagi piloted the Emperor's shuttle to Mustafar on a mission to rescue Darth Vader. After Palpatine recovered Vader, Captain Kagi transported both Palpatine and Lord Vader back to Coruscant.

Behind the scenes

 * Despite being mentioned in one of the films, little has been revealed about Kagi, including his appearance. Revenge of the Sith: Incredible Cross-Sections depicts three clone pilots in fully enclosed helmets flying the Emperor's shuttle, leading to speculation that Kagi may be a clone, or at least wore a similar flight suit.
 * In Obsessed with Star Wars it confirms that Kagi is a Clone Trooper.
