Doel Scherp was a Human male who served as a commander in the Sith fleet during the Jedi Civil War, a galactic conflict that was fought between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. At some point during the war, Scherp was entrusted with a code cylinder that contained the command codes for the sensor systems of the fleet's starships. The Republic sought to obtain the codes, and, in c. 3957 BBY, it sent a team of agents to find Scherp on the planet Sernpidal, where he owned an estate. The agents confronted Scherp inside his estate and obtained the code cylinder from him.
