Chawkroft

Lady Chawkroft was a high-ranking Imperial bureaucrat who worked in the Imperial Correctional Facilities Ministry. She once worked under a man named Gervruche, but took his old position as "Special Projects Consultant" after his death (a death which may have been connected with the assignment of a new Minister of Corrections.)

Soon after her promotion, Chawkroft received a message from Ilm Vaz-Weplinn, an Assistant-Deputy Viceprex of Security with the Corporate Sector Authority. Vaz-Weplinn proposed the joint development of an advanced prison facility in the Corporate Sector. Chawcroft was pleased with this proposal: her ministry welcomed the chance to share costs of prison development with the CSA, and Sate Pestage had blocked the budget requests of the Admiralty for their own prison facilities.

Shortly after she signed on, Viceprex Mirkovig Hirken took control of the project, code-named Stars' End. Hirken and Chawcroft continued working together on Stars' End, corresponding and visiting frequently. Chawcroft was apparently befriended by Hirken's wife Neera, who shared her recipe for oonberry pie with Chawcroft at the Hirken's anniversary banquet. While working on the project, Chawcroft's career prospered. She rose to Assistant-Minister, and then to Minister of Corrections by 2 BBY.

After Han Solo, Chewbacca, and their associates destroyed Stars' End, resulting in the deaths of the Hirkens, Chawcroft sent her condolences to Viceprex Hirken's department. Newly appointed Viceprex Vaz-Weplinn sent a reply, arguing for continued collaboration between her ministry and the CSA despite recent setbacks.
