Sergeant Derek Torent was a Human male senior watch trooper aboard the first Death Star's command center during the Galactic Civil War, having been hand-picked from the infantry division of the Imperial Navy. As such, his duties during this time included acting as a security guard, monitoring sensor arrays, and handling hangar traffic control on the Death Star. In 0 BBY, he monitored external sensor data, always vigilant for Rebel activity. It is likely that he died aboard the Death Star when it exploded in the Battle of Yavin.
