Moff Jorous Quillian the senior most Imperial in the Hoget Sector in the Outer Rim. A tall, severe man, he was an Academy classmate and friend of Grand Moff Tarkin. Unlike Tarkin, who would go on to command Naval forces and enter into military politics, Quillian preferred to remain with his beloved ground units. He would lead one of the two mutinous battalions of special operations troops that helped to place Palpatine on the throne.
A small and stocky man, Moff Quillian is no less intimidating as his best friend, with black hair cut short on the top and long in the back. His left eye is a piercing, cold blue, while his right is an unconcealed cybernetic unit. He is scared over much of his body, the trophies of countless campaigns, which include his cybernetic left arm, which is reputed to carry concealed weapons. His uniform is always immaculate, be it the dress uniform befitting his office, or the infantry combat utilities he prefers. He always wears his person sidearm, and a vibroknife, and is not above using them for "field reprimands" of disloyal or inefficient officers. When he on the ground while the "show is still on", he will usually add a sniper rifle and a belt of grenades if he is wearing his utilities.
A devout New Orderist, his connections secured him his office. His effectiveness as a commander earned him his Greatsword-class command ship, the Excalibur, and a relatively free hand in his experiments in tactics and strategy, particularly with unit formation and special operations forces. It is whispered that it was his suggestion that led Grand Moff Tarkin to organize the Death Star Commandos, and that he designed their training program. He is known to take part in ground operations personally, as he feels that the "men need to see I can do anything I ask them to", much to the distress of his aides.
His forces of note include his hand-picked Jagdtroopers, the Excalibur, an Assault Victory Star Destroyer, and an Imperial Star Carrier. This group, plus a squadron made of several ships of the SFS Immobilizer series (types appear to vary, but it always includes 2 Interdictors, 2 Enforcers and an Interceptor) form his personal taskforce. At his disposal are another 14 ISDs (including one of the gravwell prototypes), 3 VSD2s, 7 VSDs, and nearly 1700 other capital combat ships. His ground side assets include an augmented Sector Army (over 1 million combat troops), a full Legion of Stormtroopers, with supporting AT-AT, AT-ST and specialist units, three detached Special Mission Battalions, Sector Rangers, and an unknown number of ISB, Redesign and Intelligence covert action personnel. All to secure 90 little worlds.
Surprisingly, he was a family man. He apparently married just after graduating the Academy. He and his wife had one child, a son. When the child was about ten years old, his mother was killed in a horrific crash of a large scale repulsorlift transport. Then Major Quillian was left with raising a son by himself, and by all accounts did a good, if Imperial, job of it. It was one of his best days when the younger Quillian was chosen for the first class of Death Star Troopers, even after the Moff secretly tired to have him disqualified. The boy had succeeded by his own abilities, and proved it by graduating first in his class, and was aboard the Death Star during the Battle of Yavin. The death of his only son and his best friend in the same moment drove Moff Quillian off the deep end.
Moff Quillian's personal obsession is destroying the Rebellion, starting by finding the Rebel command base for the sector. He knows the name, Pegasus Base, and the commanding officer, Colonel Lonestar. He holds a personal grudge against Lonestar, as the Colonel, while teaching at the academy, recommended Quillian be dismissed for "displaying an unacceptable level of aggressiveness for a Republic officer." Well, the Republic is dead, and Quillian would like nothing more to reunite Lonestar with his beloved Republic. He holds the Rebellion responsible for the death of his family, and for whatever reasons, Lonestar most of all is to blame.
