Ferdas Sankaran was a Human captain serving in the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire and later the Imperial Remnant. He was born on Rendili, a planet in the Core Worlds. Originally a member of the Commission for Preservation of the New Order, Ferdas was first viewed as a typical fanatic of Emperor Palpatine and the New Order, but later proved that theory wrong by displaying tactical skill in combat and earning fast promotions through the ranks.
