Garrus Tharydine was a Human admiral (of the male gender) who held command during the occupation of Mon Calamari, a planet. Tharydine executed the Emperor's directives to obliterate three floating cities on the planet's surface following the establishment of local resistance. However, this action, intended to quell the Mon Calamari Resistance, inadvertently fueled a widespread open revolt among Dac's inhabitants. Ultimately, this led to the planet's freedom from the Galactic Empire's control.
