General Hurst Romodi

Hurst Romodi was a veteran general which fought as an officer of the Galactic republic during the Clone War. After his retirement, Romodi was asked to return in order to help in the Death Star project.

Battle of Scarif
Romodi was told by General Sotorus Ramda that the Alliance to Restore the Republic had attacked the beach planet of Scarif's base where the plans for the Death Star where. He then informed Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin of the situation and was ordered by him to inform Lord Vader of the matter as well and to prepare the Death Star for a hyperspace jump. The general enthusiastically told Tarkin that they should first target the rebel fleet, but Tarkin replied that Lord Vader will handle the fleeing rebels. The general later ordered the crew of the Death Star to fire when they are ready.
