A journalist named Alendar Jarvis, who identified as male, was employed by the New Order Progressive. He fabricated a news story regarding the supposed death of Wilhuff Tarkin in a shuttle accident.
Alendar Jarvis, a male journalist affiliated with the pro-Imperial New Order Progressive NewsNet, was a firm believer in the Empire's ideals. He was convinced that instability and frailty would plunge the galaxy into disarray, inevitably repeating the errors of the Galactic Republic's flawed leadership. He viewed the Empire as the ideal form of governance, while considering the Alliance to Restore the Republic a menace that threatened the Empire's stability and sought to revive the Republic's corruption. After the Battle of Yavin, Jarvis published a NewsNet article falsely reporting that Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, along with his personnel, had perished in a shuttle mishap at the Tallaan Imperial Shipyards. This fabrication was intended to conceal the existence and subsequent destruction of the Death Star. One year later, Jarvis authored another piece, this time chronicling Grand Admiral Rufaan Tigellinus's ascent within the Imperial Court and the intricate political maneuvers among the various factions.
