Terrinald Screed/Legends

"I do not want my child to grow up knowing war. But I do want my child to know the Republic, and I fear that our current course will not allow for it."

- Terrinald Screed

Terrinald Screed was an admiral in the Imperial Navy and later a warlord.

Early service in the Old Republic


A graduate of the Academy of Carida, Screed originally served as a high ranking officer in the Judicial Department of the Galactic Republic and often operated as the spokesman of that body. He was friendly with Palpatine early in that politician's career in the Galactic Senate, and supported the creation of the clone army, and viewed the Clone Wars as a useful opportunity to slash the decadence of the Galactic Republic.

During the war, Screed, along with another rising commander, Jan Dodonna, commanded the first fleet of Victory I-class Star Destroyers. Screed and Dodonna took the fleet to break the siege of Foerost, in a campaign to decide which side would control the Core Worlds. Screed lost an eye, and sustained many major injuries during the campaign, requiring cybernetic treatment, but the Republic was successful. Both commanders were declared heroes, and Screed was promoted to Vice Admiral and placed in charge of the defense fleet at Coruscant. He went on to serve as a Vice Admiral at the Second Battle of Coruscant during the end of the Clone Wars.

Imperial era


After the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine placed Screed in the upper echelons of the Imperial Starfleet. As an admiral, Screed patrolled the edges of the Empire for opportunities and was the key Imperial agent in the Roon debacle. For a short time Boc Aseca was Screed's slave, until Jerec claimed him for the Inquisitorius. He is also known to have owned three further slaves in his lifetime, three Twi'leks he acquired from the Zygerrian Slavers Guild. Despite his statement that he wanted his child to know the Republic and doubtless the freedom that came with it, he seems to have readily adopted the tenets of the New Order.



While a competent commander, the rise of other officers, namely Moffs and Grand Admirals, pushed Screed from Emperor Palpatine's favor.

After the Battle of Endor, Screed became one of many warlords who attempted to carve an empire out of former Imperial space. He died at the hands of Warlord Zsinj, who then absorbed his territorial holdings.

Years later, during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion, Grand Admiral Gilad Pellaeon asked if Screed was still serving in the Empire. Pellaeon's aide reminded him that Screed had been executed by Zsinj, and Pellaeon then replied that he had always felt sympathy for "the old Hawk-bat."
