Miroslav Nikodim was a human male gunner in the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire and later the Imperial Remnant. He was a good engineer, and was selected to become a gunner upon passing certain tests when entering the Navy. Miroslav had no moral sense (meaning that he did whatever benefitted him the most), and thus was able to use the Death Star superlaser without any remorse, being the one to fire on Despayre and Alderaan. He had a friendship with fellow gunner Niclara Varnillion until he was transferred to a Star Destroyer. Miroslav was known to be good with turbolasers and blasters, being a deadly accurate shot.
