- "This note was compiled by Admiral Hiram Drayson and signed by a variety of leading New Republic military personnel."
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
Hiram Drayson was an admiral in the Defense Fleet of the New Republic who compiled the "Memo of complaint regarding use of Imperial weaponry." This note was signed by a variety of leading military personnel within the New Republic and objected to the New Republic's use of captured Star Destroyers formerly belonging to the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Drayson's note was stored in the "Military Planning" section of the New Republic Archives and the historian Beaumont Kin cited it and mentioned Drayson in[1] his[2] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Hiram Drayson, as depicted in Star Wars Legends.
In the current Star Wars canon, Hiram Drayson was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1] The character originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where he was first mentioned, by surname only, in Timothy Zahn's 1992 novel, Dark Force Rising.[4] Drayson then appeared for the first time in Zahn's 1993 sequel, The Last Command[5] and was first identified as Hiram in Michael P. Kube-McDowell's 1996 novel, Before the Storm.[6] The first depiction of the character appeared in the second issue of Star Wars: The Last Command, the comic adaptation of The Last Command. The issue was written by Mike Baron, illustrated by Edvin Biuković, and published by Dark Horse Comics[7] on December 24, 1997.[8]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
