Miech Conar was a Human male Captain who served as a commanding officer of the Imperial escort frigate New Star. Conar was an intelligent, competent officer who was loyal to the Empire, however he did not wish to die in a pointless battle. When Conar and the New Star were assigned to defend a convoy heading from the Bormea sector to the Outer Rim Territories, he fell victim to a trap laid by the Rebel Privateer vessel Far Orbit. His ship and the convoy were both captured.
