Description: Siward Cass was a Human male military officer who served the Galactic Empire aboard the first Death Star during the Galactic Civil War. By 0 BBY, he was a war veteran and had acted as an aide to Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin for many years.

Biography
A Human male, Siward Cass was born in the Patriim system, within the Seswenna sector of the Outer Rim region of the galaxy. At some point during his life, he joined the ground forces of Palpatine's Galactic Empire. For many years, he served as an aide to Wilhuff Tarkin, Grand Moff of the Oversector Outer.

By the time of the Galactic Civil War, a major galactic conflict fought between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, he was considered a veteran. Cass acted as the chief communications officer aboard the first Death Star battlestation. He was entrusted with extremely sensitive information and communications between Tarkin and the Imperial government. Because of this, he was part of the Death Star command, and had a seat at its conference table. Cass' duties ranged from handling routine communications to delivering priority news to the Grand Moff.

In 0 BBY, the Imperials managed to capture Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, who had strong ties with the Rebel Alliance, and Tarkin tried to make her confess the location of the Rebels' headquarters. Organa ended up giving the name of Dantooine, after which that planet was checked for Rebel presence. Subsequently, Cass was committed with the delicate task of reporting to Tarkin that it no longer held any active base. Although he found the situation uncomfortable, Cass did his duty with no signs of nervousness. Having made his report, he immediately exited the room. Cass perished as the Death Star was destroyed during the Battle of Yavin.

Personality and traits
Around the Battle of Yavin, Siward Cass was a pale-skinned, older man who sported short gray hair. Within the Imperial military, he was considered a model adjutant. However, despite his reputation for being self-possessed and discreet, Cass still was wary of Tarkin's wrath, and he disliked being the one bearing bad news to the Moff.
