Kresk Zantevo

"Zantevo isn't the type of person to just send a large fleet into the middle of a battle. I don't know what it is... but he's planning something."

- Garm Bel Iblis

Kresk Zantevo was born on New Gargolia, a planet in the satellite galaxy Rishi Maze. At age 18, he moved to Foosha V with his grandparents, where he discovered the Imperial Academy. Zantevo then decided to move to the main galaxy to enlist in the Galactic Empire, where he would advance through the ranks and soon reach Admiral in 6 BBY. The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Oblivion was then appointed as his flagship.

After becoming Admiral, he was stationed over the dying planet Duro in 2 BBY. One year later in 1 BBY, a force of Rebellion Y-wing starfighters attempted to liberate the planet, soon becoming the Battle of Vnas. Zantevo and his fleet made a surprise attack on the group of bombers, and the Rebellion were forced to retreat. The damage done over Duro was pretty severe, but having the Pellezara station nearby made it easy for Zantevo and his forces to get instant repairs.

After the Battle of Yavin in 0 ABY, Zantevo was sent to Fara's Belt when Major Herrit sent out a distress call. When Zantevo arrived, he found a force of imperial fighters battling with a force of Rebellion B-wing starfighters. Zantevo wrapped up the battle by destroying the remaining Rebellion forces.

Zantevo and his star destroyer, the Oblivion, were also temporarily assigned in Death Squadron during the Battle of Endor. Zantevo was able to eliminate a couple of MC80 Star Cruisers. After witnessing the defeat of both the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Executor and the Death Star II, Zantevo was forced to retreat.

Many years later, in 10 ABY, Zantevo was appointed a Grand Admiral of the Imperial Remnant. He was also given a new flagship to replace the out-dating Imperial I-class, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Decimator.

In 17 ABY during the Final Imperial Push, Gilad Pellaeon issued Zantevo and his forces to attack the planet Tangrene. There, he met Garm Bel Iblis and his fleet of MC80a Star Cruisers attacking a group of pirates. The Decimator was damaged substantially, but came out as victor, destroying both the pirates and the Rebellion fleet. Just as Zantevo was about to destroy Garm Bel Iblis's MC80a, Admiral Ackbar and his fleet jumps into the system and begins impaling the Decimator with all the firepower that they could sustain. In the end, the Decimator is obliterated, and Zantevo is killed along with it.
