Vermillion Tarko was a human male Imperial Army general who helped Captain Vladimir Makarov and his other Imperial Nationalists carry out the coup d'etat against the Imperial Remnant's Moffs, killing them all. After the end of the Imperial Crisis in 41 ABY, a war against the Imperial Loyalists and Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, Tarko was tried and found guilty of high treason by Jagged Fel's government, and was executed. Ironically, the execution took place on Bastion, the same place that he carried out the coup in 37 ABY with Makarov.
