Biography
- "And I have no intention of seeing my investment–our investment–come to nothing because a boot-kissing, talentless, jumped-up catamite like Moff Getelles wants to be supported in comfort by Loronar Corporation for the rest of his sycophantic life."
- ―Natasi Daala
Getelles received his promotion to Moff at a diplomatic reception on Coruscant, one of the last to be attended by Leia Organa during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. Shortly after his promotion to Moff, Getelles promoted his friend, Larm, to Admiral, over the heads of several other officers, and gave him command of military forces in Antemeridian sector.
After the fall of the Galactic Empire, Getelles remained part of the Imperial Remnant and retained control of the sector. However, he lacked both the firepower and the confidence to mount a major attack on nearby New Republic controlled bases.
In 13 ABY, Getelles was contacted by Seti Ashgad who offered him an opportunity to take control of Meridian sector. Loronar Corporation would supply weapons to dissident groups throughout Meridian sector in an effort to promote uprisings which would divide the New Republic forces in the area. Meanwhile, Ashgad would release a plague which he promised would only affect New Republic personnel. Together, these events would weaken New Republic forces sufficiently for Admiral Larm's forces to take control of the sector.
Part of the deal would allow Loronar Corporation to mine Spook crystals on Nam Chorios in Meridian sector to use as CCIR control crystals in synthdroids and Needle fighters. Ashgad would get a share of the profits, while Getelles would get access to the Needles.
Getelles' grab for power failed when both Ashgad and Larm were killed after the intervention of Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo. Larm's fleet, under attack from both Republic forces and those under Admiral Daala, retreated to Antemeridian sector and the New Republic was able to halt the spread of the plague.
