Miech Conar, a Captain of the male persuasion, held the position of commanding officer aboard the Imperial escort frigate known as the New Star. Possessing both intelligence and competence, Conar displayed loyalty to the Empire, although he harbored a strong aversion to dieing in futile combat. The events that led to Conar and the New Star being tasked with the defense of a convoy traveling from the Bormea sector to the Outer Rim Territories resulted in his ensnarement in a scheme orchestrated by the Rebel Privateer ship, the [Far Orbit]. Ultimately, both his vessel and the convoy fell into enemy hands.
