Orvar Krei
Orvar Krei is an original ReExpanded character created by Francesca Pallopides.[1]
Biography
Orvar Krei was a Force-sensitive male human of slight stature. In 4 ABY, he was a Ubiqtorate agent working undercover as a logistics officer in the Imperial Navy's Black Sword Command. He made himself known to Jian Paret, the commander of the Black Fleet, eight months after the Battle of Endor. Acting on the reborn Emperor's orders, Krei instructed Paret to take the Black Fleet into the Deep Core, while sending reassurances to Imperial Center and to Grand Admiral Peccati Syn at Kashyyyk claiming he would be coming to their aid via Cal-Seti.[1]
Behind the scenes
The scene featuring Orvar Krei in Empire of Ashes: Fear is set immediately before the events of the prologue in Before the Storm, in which the Yevethans launch their coup and take control of the Black Fleet before it can depart for the Deep Core. The ruse suggested by Krei explains why both Imperial and New Republic analysts later thought the Black Fleet had been destroyed at Cal-Seti.
