Abel LaSal was an individual who served as a commander in the Imperial Navy's officer corps.[1] In 14 BBY,[2] LaSal was deployed aboard the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Sovereign. While the vessel was docked at Fondor, someone stole the commander's identity by using a forged code cylinder and officer's disk.[1]
At some point, the LaSal came to command the Star Destroyer. However, this was no longer the case[3] by 4 BBY,[4] when the Sovereign had become Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin's flagship, with Admiral Kassius Konstantine reassigned to become Tarkin's second-in-command aboard the starship.[3] That year,[4] the Star Destroyer was destroyed over[3] the Outer Rim Territories planet[5] Mustafar by the Spectre rebel cell.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Abel LaSal was first mentioned in James Luceno's 2014 novel, Tarkin.[1]
