Zero Command was a splinter faction of the Galactic Empire in the Deep Core that was formed by Admiral Blitzer Harrsk.
History[]
Following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Admiral Blitzer Harrsk of the Imperial Navy took a task force to the Deep Core, where he claimed a number of worlds around the world Kalist VI and established a protectorate, which he named "Zero Command". Harrsk gave himself the title Lord High Admiral and made himself the leader of Zero Command. The warlord later expanded Zero Command and gained control of a number of worlds in the Southern Core, including Abregado-rae and Belgaroth.[1]
When Emperor Palpatine returned from the dead in a clone body, Harrsk and Zero Command served him, but became independent once more after Palpatine was killed. Harrsk began a recruitment drive in the distant Atravis sector in 12 ABY, bringing Zero Command into conflict with Imperial warlord Treuten Teradoc,[1] one of the leaders of the Federated Teradoc Union.[3] Zero Command was later reunited with eleven other warlord holdings by Admiral Natasi Daala[4] to form the United Warlord Fleets and eventually the Imperial Remnant.[2]
Military[]
Lord High Admiral Harrsk commanded a fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers, including the heavily modified Shockwave.[4] He also controlled at least two Tector-class Star Destroyers and the battlecruiser Ilthmar's Fist. In addition, at least two Super Star Destroyers, Dominion and Megador, were under going construction within Deep 3, one of Harrsk's secret shipyards. At Deep 3, there were many robotic TIE starfighters, mines, and caches of various weapons. These would later be recovered by Admiral Gilad Pellaeon after the death of Harrsk.[2]
Stormtroopers made up a majority of the ground forces of the Zero Command.[4]
