Tempra was a rarity amongst the Sith Navy, as he was one of the rare non-Sith Grand Admirals. Following Grand Admiral Astra's exile from the Empire for his performance in the Battle of Lorta, Tempra was temporarily elevated to the position for the duration of the Siege of Berea and the subsequent mop-ups within that system and nearby systems. By the time of the Invasion of Lurr he had been relieved of the post, and Grand Admiral Lanik had taken his place.
