"Morlish. You've been stabbed in the back by a Sith and you're surprised? Bide your time. Watch your tongue. The future is not yet written—you may yet become Emperor."
―Moff Nyna Calixte[src]

Morlish Veed was an Imperial High and Grand Moff, as well as Grand Admiral and one of the foremost leaders of Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire around 130 ABY.

[edit] Biography

[edit] Serving Fel

Veed originally served onboard the ship Wesk Herf. He was regarded as a military genius and an even more astute politician, being the only person to hold the rank of Grand Admiral while also serving as the head member of the Moff High Council. As such, he was second in rank only to Emperor Roan Fel, and harbored barely-hidden ambitions toward replacing Fel on the Imperial throne.

He was also the lover of Moff Nyna Calixte, the Director of Imperial Intelligence, whom left her husband, Moff Rulf Yage, for Veed. When the Sith approached her with an offer to cooperate in conquering the Galactic Alliance, he quickly became involved in their plans. Like Darth Krayt, Veed believed that the galaxy needed to be united under the leadership of a single strong ruler; however, he believed that he should be that man, not Krayt.

He served as the Supreme Commander in the Sith-Imperial War from his flagship Imperious, and commanded the decisive Battle of Caamas. This earned him the rank of High Moff. However, the remnants of the Alliance fleet, led by Admiral Gar Stazi, were planning of escaping. Veed entrusted Dru Valan to prevent this but the GA forces escaped through a spacer route. Veed reported the final victory over the New Jedi Order to the Emperor and the Moffs in the throne room on recently-conquered Coruscant—which served as the signal for Darth Krayt and his Sith to attack the guard detail of Imperial Knights and slay the Emperor.

[edit] The Sith Empire

For a moment, Veed believed that he was about to become the first ruler of a united galaxy in more than a century—only to watch as Darth Krayt settled down casually in the throne, and proclaimed himself the new ruler of the Empire. The Sith Lord invited Veed, as the senior member of the Imperial hierarchy, to be the first to swear loyalty, and the Grand Admiral, inwardly reluctant, complied. Despite the fact that his plan to become Emperor had temporarily failed, Moff Calixte quickly reminded him that he could still sit upon the Imperial throne in the future.

Veed appeared to have been unaware that the real Roan Fel had survived the assassination attempt, and that the man slain by Krayt had merely been his double.

When word spreads that a Skywalker had survived, Veed thinks of capturing him and turning him. But when Morrigan Corde fails and the Sith call off the search, Veed still refused to give up. The Moffs then began to argue whether Skywalker is captured and whether they should reassert their authority like back in the days of the Remnant until Veed dismissed all points. He later went to Calixte's apartment, discussing on how to obtain Skywalker.

Morlish Veed: "Stay. Let's get better acquainted."
Morrigan Corde: "Ugly Imperials aren't my type."
―In Morlish Veed's apartment

Veed later assigned Morrigan Corde to retrieve Cade Skywalker from the Temple of the Sith, but for a price. In addition, she wanted three dozen Yuuzhan Vong Thud Bugs the Imperials just confiscated from Black Sun. Veed agreed to these terms, and even intended to personally deliver the Vong Bugs to her, until Calixte found out and took over the job of delivering the bugs, knowing Veed was attracted to Corde.

When Skull Squadron attacked the Mynock near the Sith Temple, Veed ordered Moff Yage to call them off so as not to cause an incident with the Sith.

After Skywalker's escape from Coruscant, Veed spoke to Calixte outside her refresher, wondering how to explain to Krayt why they pulled back the squadron. Though he was pleased on the damage done to the Temple. He then noticed a holographic choker that he had never seen before. Calixte told him it was a family heirloom. In actuality, it was a holo of Kol Skywalker with his family—Corde and Cade. Also unknown to Veed was that Nyna Calixte and Morrigan Corde were actually the same person.

[edit] Regent of the Empire

"You would rule only in Krayt's name, and you must be willing to comply with Krayt's will as I dictate it to you."
―Darth Wyyrlok[src]

Veed and Calixte later heard that Krayt was wounded during an attempt on his life. They also heard Darth Wyyrlok would be serving as leader of the Empire until Krayt - who was actually dead, having being killed by Lord Wyyrlok himself - had recovered. Veed and Calixte both suspected something more was going on, and became determined to uncover the truth.

While Calixte was absent supposedly to find a way into Korriban, Veed was summoned to a meeting with Darth Wyyrlok, something he was reluctant to attend because the Sith had a reputation of killing people who were called to similar meetings. Wyyrlok explained to him that Emperor Krayt had suffered severe injuries on Had Abbadon that required him to remain in stasis. He also told Veed that the Sith understood that he needed to command the Empire, but many of the non-Sith personnel and citizens of the Empire did not because they did not know Wyyrlok's position as Krayt's Voice. For their sake, Wyyrlok proposed the idea of making Veed the Regent of the Empire. Veed would rule the Empire in Krayt's name, while secretly answering to Lord Wyyrlok to ensure he was carrying out Krayt's will. Veed was shocked, but accepted the offer nonetheless.
