Dagon Niriz

Dagon Niriz was a captain in the Imperial Starfleet and commanding officer the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Admonitor in the years leading up to the Battle of Endor. When Grand Admiral Thrawn was assigned the task of mapping and otherwise "civilizing" the Unknown Regions for the Empire&mdash;in addition to preparing for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion&mdash;Thrawn took the Admonitor as his flagship, taking Niriz with him. Niriz would later return with Thrawn to the Galaxy proper in order to assist Darth Vader in removing Zekka Thyne from Corellia, essentially ending Black Sun's influence in the system. Niriz would bare witness to Thrawn's disguise as the bounty hunter Jodo Kast as well as Vader's payment for the assistance: the Noghri.
