 Little is known about the Grand Moff.
He led a modest yet successful career in the Imperial Navy, eventually
garnishing an impressive post as Moff in charge of controlling the
outskirts of the Imperial Frontier. It was here that Tarkin made his
mark as the Master Tactician, developing his philosophy of Rule by Fear.
This worked phenomenally well, but the Outer Rim was such a large
Territory, he needed a weapon powerful enough to threaten an entire
system. Thus he began work on the Death
Star. The greatest minds in the Empire were gathered to oversee its
construction, all under the guidance of now Grand Moff Tarkin. Even the
dreaded Darth Vader was placed under his command.
Tarkin was confident and proud of his brainchild, right up to his death
as it was blown up beneath him.
