James Nyre, born on Kuat, is the Admiral of the Star Destroyer "Decimator." Known for his heavy handed tactics and questionable use of Base Delta Zero, indiscriminate orbital bombardments, he is a feared and powerful asset to the Imperial Navy. He offers no quarter to captured Rebels, often preferring summary execution. His hatred of the Rebels, who he deems nothing more than lawless terrorists and murderers, comes from his father, a civilian worker, dying during a Rebel raid on the Kuat Shipyards. For him, his actions are retribution for his father's death. He is not a psychopath, however, and is a very reasonable superior who is generally well liked by the average trooper.
