Nor'ben'chal

Commander Nor'ben'chal was the captain of the Ar'gul-class Cruiser Ranger.

Personality
Nor'ben'chal was somewhat arrogant and demanded respect from his underlings. Having seen much, he was a hard man to impress, but when it was done, the person in question inevitably earned his respect.

History
Nor'ben'chal was born into the influential Chal Clan on the planet Reznor, the capital world of the old Durgasi Empire. He joined the Imperial Durgasi Navy at age 18, and fought in several battles against Confederate forces.

When the Durgasi Empire became a part of the Confederacy, he joined the Confederate Navy, and served as a weapons officer on board one of the smaller vessels between 14 ABY and 17 ABY. He joined the Loyalists during the Confederate Civil War, and was rewarded with the command of the newly-commissioned Ranger after the war ended.

He still commanded it, when the Ranger was lost in mid-17 ABY.
