Termo was an Imperial admiral during the Galactic Civil War. He was the commanding officer of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Liquidator in 0 ABY. His ship arrived in the Yavin system after the Death Star's attack on Yavin 4. He was later informed by the Emperor of the Death Star's destruction. Admiral Termo and his communications officer survived the blast by fleeing in an escape pod, but were left stranded in space as it was damaged by the Liquidator's explosion.
