"I must be a stronger blade! A…a blade with which to slit the throats of the traitors that crawl on their bellies towards our door!"
―Groff, quoting Counselor Gallius Rax[2]

Groff was a male individual that served the Galactic Empire as a Captain in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War, in command of the Star Destroyer Punishment. His ship was one of the Imperial Navy vessels that massed at Jakku[2] in 5 ABY[1] under Fleet Admiral and Counselor Gallius Rax, and made up part of the defensive ring around the planet during the ensuing battle against the New Republic. When the Punishment suffered a shield generator coolant leak, which cascaded through the upper levels, Groff went mad and made a deranged comm to Grand Moff Randd on the Super Star Destroyer Ravager, launching into a tirade against the New Republic inspired by Rax's pre-battle speech. His comms then went dark, and the Punishment collided into the Starhawk-class Battleship Mark I Amity, sacrificing both himself and his Star Destroyer for the cause. Despite his fervor, this sacrifice caused a chain reaction that would lead to the destruction of the Ravager and eventually the defeat of the Imperial forces in the battle.[2]
