Aurelius Tempest (born 42 BBY, reborn 38 ABY on Bastion) was a General of the first and second Galactic Empires. He engaged in many of the historically prominent battles and events of the Galactic Civil War, including the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor, though preferred to keep his accomplishments at a minimum to avoid becoming a target of the Rebel Alliance. Tempest also took control during the Yuuzhan Vong War to protect entities on multiple planets such as Bastion from the invasion force.
