Greater Maldrood

TheGreater Maldrood was a splinter faction of theGalactic Empire, led byAdmiralTreuten Teradoc, which controlled a part of theMid Rim after breaking away from the Empire following thebattle of Endor in4 ABY. It later joined Admiral Teradoc's brother,Kosh Teradoc'sunion in theDeep Core in8 ABY, forming theFederated Teradoc Union.

History[]

The Greater Maldrood was established in theMid Rim by AdmiralTreuten Teradoc after theBattle of Endor in4 ABY. It became involved in a number of border skirmishes with arival Imperial Faction that was led byWarlordZsinj and after Zsinj's death in8 ABY, Teradoc—who styled himself "High Admiral of the Mid Rim"—attempted to expand the Greater Maldrood by seizing worlds in theGordian Reach. However, this brought him into a three-way conflict with the Imperial AdmiralTeren Rogriss and AdmiralGial Ackbar of theNew Republic. Teradocdefeated Rogriss atFeriae Junction, causing a number ofwarships, that had previously served under Zsinj, to join the Greater Maldrood. However, following a number of defeats at the hands of the New Republic, a desperate Teradoc reached out to his brotherKosh Teradoc, who joined his territories in theDeep Core with the Greater Maldrood, with both territories becoming theFederated Teradoc Union.

The alliance of the brothers allowed Teradoc to hold onto a reduced Greater Maldrood in the Rim, but the return of EmperorPalpatine in10 ABY led to the brothers' participation in the disastrousOperation Shadow Hand, in which Teradoc fared particularly poorly. Afterwards, Kosh and Treuten effectively traded places, with Kosh attempting to salvage what was left of their Rim holdings. In theDeep Core,Treuten fought againstZero Command, an Imperial warlord state governed byLord High AdmiralBlitzer Harrsk. In12 ABY, Teradoc was assassinated by AdmiralNatasi Daala and his faction was laterunited with eleven other Warlord holdings to form theUnited Warlord Fleets. What was left of the Greater Maldrood apparently disintegrated after the death of Kosh a year later.^[2]

Astrography[]

The Greater Maldrood encompassedTogoria,Gala; the shipyard worldsRoche,Abhean andThanos; the industrial worldsBelderone,Charros IV andMetalorn; the trade centersCentares,Columex andBimmisaari; and the agri-worldBalamak. Centares served as itscapital world.

Behind the scenes[]

The territories encompassed by the Greater Maldrood were depicted in 2009's the Essential Atlas, which also gave Teradoc's Imperial faction its name, which had never been revealed up to that point.

Notably, while the Essential Atlas treats the Mid-Rim Greater Maldrood as disbanded after 8 ABY, with Teradoc relocating for the Deep Core - it is not shown on the maps of either Thrawn's campaigns or the Resurrected Emperor's attacks - the 2014 articleThe Imperial Warlords: Despoilers of an Empire part 1 seemingly alters much of the faction's history. It implies that Kosh Teradoc bailed his brother out of the post-Zsinj campaigns, and that the dissolution of the territory did not occur until after Operation Shadow Hand, where Kosh is explicitly described as trying to salvage their Mid-Rim holdings while Treuten replaces him in the Deep Core. The article further notes that Kosh held onto a reduced Greater Maldrood, implying that, as Pellaeon had pulled Imperial forces out of the Deep Core by 13 ABY, that Kosh still had territory in the Mid to Outer Rim at the time of his death.^[3]
