Adelade Tavira

"Hosnian Prime is my domain. I have spent too much effort shaping it to the Empire's vision to ever allow slime like you to take it from me. I will make this planet a masterpiece of order, and your deaths will provide some of the final touches to my work." Grand Moff Tavira in a message to the Rebel fleet during the Liberation of Hosnian Prime.

Grand Moff Adelade Tavira was the youngest Grand Moff in the Empire's history and served as governor of Hosnian Prime from 2 bby until her death in 5 aby. Her rule over the world was characterized by the use of mass terror against the civilian population often committed by the Imperial military as well as Compforce and the ISB. Though her tenure as the planet's ruler was relatively short, her rule is considered to be the darkest chapter in the planet's history.

History
Adelade Tavira was born on Hosnian Prime to a family of factory workers and she demonstrated a strong zeal for the New Order from a young age. She reached the rank of assistant group leader in her local SAGroup cell within a year and received a letter of recommendation from the regional Compnor head when she applied to the Future Imperial Leadership Academy on Vardos. Adelade distinguished herself in matters of ensuring compliance through fear, being greatly helped by her underlying sadistic tendencies. She saw oppression as an art form for which she wanted to create her own masterpiece.

Her chance to perfect her art form came soon after her graduation when she served under the previous planetary governor, Grand Moff Valches. She worked under him for little over two years before he was assassinated during a hit and run attack by resistance fighters. Her stellar record earned the personal intervention of Emperor Palpatine in securing her the role of planetary governor.

Legacy
Though her term as governor was relatively brief, it was characterized by unprecedented levels of mass violence and terror against the planets civilian population. Out of a total planetary population of 960 billion inhabitants, almost 12 billion were killed as a result of regular crackdowns, torture, starvation, forced labor or other acts of violence during her rule.

Personality
"I simply wish to display the triumph of my art. I want to create a masterpiece that will be remembered for centuries to come." "You call this a masterpiece?! Ghetto fences, forced labor, mass executions, torture?! You'r not an artist, you'r a threat to every living being you come into contact with! And as much as this might go against the Jedi code, I can say with complete certainty that as long as you draw breath no one on this world is safe!"
