Orem Ducat was a male Human who worked as a member of Imperial Intelligence.

Biography[]

In his early life, Orem Ducat undertook military training at the Galactic Empire’s Academy of Carida, eventually graduating and becoming an officer within the Imperial Army. Throughout his service, he gradually rose up the ranks of the armed forces and eventually managed to attain the rank of major. He was later recruited into Imperial Intelligence where he became a part of the Destabilization Branch, a black-ops organization within the Bureau of Operations. Due to his experience as a member of the Destab Branch, Orem was eventually stationed on the world of Dakshee where he worked as the senior military advisor for an Imperial governor known as Gerald Weizel.

Throughout his time on Dakshee, Ducat oversaw an operation to root out a suspected terrorist network which had been carrying out a number of bombings on Imperial checkpoints within the planet’s capital city. At some point during this operation, a member of the Inquisitorius by the name of Allura Drayneen intervened, claiming that she was there to oversee and assist his intelligence officers in the venture. Due to the allegedly secretive nature of the dark side organization, Orem possessed only a limited amount of knowledge of the Inquisitorius and became frustrated by the intervention of one of their members. It was because of this that Orem was very reluctant to allow Drayneen to take part in the anti-terrorist operation. Regardless of his misgivings, with the aid of Drayneen, Orem and his team of officers were eventually able to verify the identities of the terrorist ringleaders, who had confirmed involvement with the Justice Action Network, an Alderaanian terrorist group.

Having gained incriminating information about the several of the planet’s trade union heads, who had allegedly been responsible for instigating the numerous bombings against the Empire, Orem immediately sought to instigate the execution the ringleaders by purposely giving incorrect information to the arrest task force, ideally before Drayneen had to chance to take them into custody. Though he was supposedly aware of the consequences of such a decision, Major Ducat strongly felt that if the ringleaders were taken into Inquisitor custody to be questioned, then the Inquisitorius would likely not share any new information obtained from them with Imperial Intelligence, which would consequently put the latter organization at a disadvantage; therefore, Ducat made what he regarded as a tactically sound decision. Ultimately, Ducat’s plan was successful; the terrorist ringleaders were killed in the ensuring raid, along with a number of innocent civilians.

Following the execution of the ringleaders, Ducat was later reprimanded by Gerald Weizel, who expressed his displeasure over the Major’s apparent failure to end the terrorist situation on Dakshee without bloodshed. In an attempt to negotiate with the governor, however, Ducat offered to use the incident to their advantage by openly stating to the public that Gerald was responsible for eliminating the terrorist threat on Dakshee, thereby promoting the governor’s persona. Surprised by the Major’s plan, Weizel eventually agreed to undertake the proposal. With this, the massacre of the ringleaders was later covered up under Orem’s orders; a fabricated identity known as “Brella Temior” was created in order to openly place the responsibility of the terrorist threat on the Justice Action Network.
