After the fall of the Republic, Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart eagerly took on the role of overseeing the clone troopers on Kamino for the new Galactic Empire. In the early days of the regime, Rampart's loyalty to Governor Tarkin and the rest of the Imperials was unquestioned. But after damaging evidence of his order to destroy Tipoca City came to light on the floor of the Galactic Senate, Rampart was arrested, standing accused as a traitor to the Empire despite his protestations that he was simply following orders. Now he works for the Empire in a new capacity — as an inmate at a forced labor camp on Erebus.
