Walex Blissex

Walex Blissex was an esteemed starship engineer. During the days of the Old Republic, Blissex designed the Victory-class Star Destroyer for Rendili Star Drive. Later, Blissex sided with the Rebel Alliance rather than the Empire that the Republic had become. He helped Jan Dodonna modify the R-22 Spearhead into the fast, nimble A-wing starfighter. For this service to the Rebellion, he was made an honorary general.

Engineering aptitude ran in the Blissex family. His daughter, Lira Wessex, was responsible for the Venator-class Star Destroyer and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
