Hendric Faile held the position of fleet commander within the Kathol Republic Navy, and he was in command of the Triumph, a Marauder-class corvette. In the year 8 ABY, Faile acted upon a distress signal originating from the [Bravado III] following the Battle of Episol. Upon finding the New Republic corvette [FarStar] present, he gave the order for the ship to power down and ready itself for capture, as all signs suggested that the New Republic was culpable in the disabling of the Bravado III. He supervised the seizure of the vessel, deploying marines from his own ship, and subsequently transported the corvette along with its crew to Dayark.
