Rogen Lithal was a male officer of the Galactic Empire, specifically a Human, who served during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
Following the battle of Yavin, Rogen Lithal held the rank of colonel and was assigned to the Detainment Facility located within the Imperial Fortress situated on Yavin 4. In the year 1 ABY, Imperial forces apprehended and incarcerated six Rebel pilots at this facility. During the Remembrance Day celebrations that same year, Wedge Antilles, an Officer in the Alliance Starfighter Corps, orchestrated a rescue mission involving a group of loyal Rebel spacers to free the imprisoned pilots. These Rebel operatives launched an assault on the prison, resulting in the death of Colonel Lithal. Subsequently, one of the spacers appropriated his uniform to enable one of the Rebel pilots to escape the base undetected.
In the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, Colonel Rogen Lithal appeared as a non-player character. This massively multiplayer online roleplaying game was created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts, before its shutdown on December 15, 2011. Lithal was incorporated into the game with the release of "Game Update 11," which was launched on June 23, 2009, and was featured in the game during the Empire Day events of 2009, 2010 and 2011.
