Xamuel Lennox

Xamuel Lennox was an Imperial Captain during the Galactic Civil War. In 1 BBY, he lost the Battle of Turkana and responded with the Invasion of Abraxin as a part of Operation Strike Fear and also as a part of his personal agenda to join the Hegemony of Species, utilizing Xenocide Squad to do his bidding.

Captain
At the start of his career, Lennox attempted to follow in his ancestors' footsteps and be an honorable, noble officer. However, Lennox knew that he would not survive long if he continued with his family's traditional philosophy, so he decided to engage in deceit and political strategizing. This would later result in his wild and poorly organized plot to join the Hegemony of Species.

After Lennox lost the Battle of Turkana, he contributed to the destructive venture of Operation Strike Fear, which was a retaliatory assault against Rebel forces in the Tion Hegemony.

Hegemony of Species
Some time before the Invasion of Abraxin, Lennox discovered that Xeelo was using an Imperial Astromech Droid as his aid. Lennox was able to tap into this astro-droid named 1X-I0 and watch and listen to Hegemony meetings. Lennox learned a lot about the Hegemony of Species and decided to join the Hegemony.

In order to join, however, he needed to kill Bren Castor, who held the human position on the Hegemony. Lennox also decided he would need to kidnap Xeelo Xuz to negotiate his approval on the Hegemony.

Behind the Scenes
Lennox is actually a character that exists in the real Star Wars canon. The event of Lennox at Abraxin and during Operation Strike Fear only appears in the GI canon, and not inside real SW canon.
