Imperial Hero Roster

The Imperial Hero Roster was one of four rosters of legendary heroes in the galaxy. It described each listed person and what made him/her a hero of the Empire. Here are some abbreviated excerpts about each hero in the book.

Individual commanders

 * What would the Empire have been like without Lord Darth Vader? He destroyed hundreds of Jedi traitors, and led the 501st Legion to many victories against the Empire's enemies. He was a storybook hero. If only he hadn't betrayed the Emperor at the end of his life and nearly destroyed the Empire.
 * and : These two friends were Militarists during the time of the Republic, and they led the Imperial Navy to defeat the Separatist holdouts and other dissidents countless times. They even won the beloved Holt Cross once. Dodonna eventually betrayed us and joined the Rebellion, but Screed remained faithful till the end.
 * and : Yularen rooted out much corruption in the government after the rise of the Empire, and eventually became a colonel in the Imperial Security Bureau. Pellaeon was a loyal fleet captain/admiral who fought to preserve the Empire after the Rebellion's victory, sometimes working with Grand Admiral Thrawn, and was ultimately considered an Imperial savior for it.
 * It was strange to have a high ranking woman in the Imperial Navy, but that's what Admiral Daala was, thanks to Grand Moff Tarkin. She was a tough taskmaster, and helped Pellaeon unify the remains of the Empire under the Imperial Remnant. She also boldly fought against the former Rebels while many other Imperial warlords cowered behind walls.
 * and the other : The Grand Admirals were a much needed set of intelligence in the fleets, but none was as smart as Thrawn. He could outsmart any species just by studying their art. He was a great Imperial patriot, seeking to protect the galaxy from outside invaders, like the then-coming Yuuzhan Vong.
 * and : These generals were the envy of the Imperial Army, and brought much destruction to the enemies of the Empire. General Madine also founded the feared Storm Commandos, a very tough variant of stormtroopers. Unfortunately, he defected to the Rebellion, while General Romodi stayed until his death onboard the first Death Star.
 * and : Piett was a greater admiral of Death Squadron than most give him credit for, even with his occasional blunders. He saw the Rebels as next-generation Separatists, as well we all should in the Empire. Veers was a strong general in the army, and, like Romodi before him, more than worthy of being called an Imperial soldier.
 * Mara Jade was always shrouded in mystery. The Emperor supposedly used her for secret assignments. Rumor has it, though, that like Vader, she killed many traitors and dissidents, including some Jedi. Ironically, not only did she too betray the Imperial cause, but now she herself is a Jedi.

Soldiers

 * ,, , , and : Five loyal leaders of the 501st Legion, they were. CC-1119 and CT-0000/1010 led the assault on the Jedi Temple and helped Vader cleanse it of the corrupt Jedi. Vill is famous for having wiped out the Nosaurian warriors on New Plympto and enslaving their families, Bow took over leadership of the 501st after CC-1119 was killed by a Jedi scum, and Voca helped Lord Vader find a missing Imperial leader named Garoche Tarkin. I apologize for not using Vill, Bow, and Voca's unit numbers; I don't know them, but it's standard protocol to identify all stormtroopers by number, not name.
 * ,, , , , and : These clone stormtrooper commanders and their units have been widely praised for wiping out Jedi scum like Mundi, Secura, Allie, Unduli, Offee, and Nem Bees, respectively. We can't imagine what it must have been like, facing those dangerous Jedi while they committed all those horrific war crimes right in front of them.
 * The Imperial commandos must be thanked, too, for killing not only Jedi, but Jedi sympathizers and a few clone deserters as well. Some of the most famous are, , , , , and , who killed Jedi General Traavis at the end of the Clone Wars.
 * A true patriot of the Imperial Army, Lieutenant Sunber knew how to lead his troops. He fought on the frontlines with his men, and he carefully planned out each strategy in battle. Many Imperial citizens believed he should have been promoted to a higher rank for his valor.
