Bevel Lemelisk

Bevel Lemelisk (&mdash;0 BBY first death; final death 17 ABY) was one of the chief designers of the Death Star I. Because it was destroyed, Emperor Palpatine unleashed deadly piranha-beetles on him, eating at his flesh, and blinding him. Still alive, he woke up in a new body cloned for him, with the warning that the next time he failed the Emperor, he would make sure to kill him in a more interesting way, such as being dipped in copper in liquid form.

He helped reengineer the Death Star after the Battle of Yavin IV and corrected the fatal design flaws. For the Death Star II, he added thousands of turbolasers and built it to be the ultimate weapon. After his failure on the Death Star II, he was excuted. Due to failures in the six different superweapons he designed, he was exctued seven times. After each excution, each one more brutal than the last, he would be cloned to serve the Empire once again.

Some of his designs are: The Tarkin, the Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought, the Death Star I, the Death Star II, and the Darksaber. He helped in making the Victory I-class Star Destroyer and the Geonosian assult craft.

After the New Republic rose, Lemelisk was captured after the Darksaber crisis and was incarcerated on Orinackra.

He was eventually executed by the New Republic for war crimes, one of the few former Imperials to do so (along with Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik). His final words were "At least make sure you do it right this time," before he died his final death.
