Sander Delvardus was an admiral in the Galactic Empire who became an independent warlord after the Battle of Endor. Delvardus originally served under Grand Moff Ardus Kaine, but after the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor, he broke away from the Empire and formed the Eriadu Authority, an Imperial Remnant faction. Delvardus succeeded in claiming part of the Rimma Trade Route before being forced to retreat to the Deep Core, where he joined forces with Palpatine, who had returned in a clone body. After the final death of Palpatine in 11 ABY, Delvardus again set out on his own and continued to build up his forces, which included the Super Star Destroyer Night Hammer.

In 12 ABY, Delvardus traveled to a conference at Tsoss Beacon with twelve other Imperial warlords. There, Admiral Natasi Daala proposed that the warlords ally to defeat the New Republic. However, they refused to unify, as they were hesitant to share their resources with the other warlords. Delvardus, for his part, saw the rest of the warlords as his rivals and did not want to share the glory that he felt awaited him when he defeated the New Republic. Daala responded to their decision by executing all of them, Delvardus included, with nerve-gas.
