Etahn A'baht was a pragmatic career naval officer, devoted to military service. A male Dornean, he served in the Dornean Navy with distinction, rising to command the entire eighty-ship force and using it to keep the Axis from conquering Dornea. He fought with the Alliance of Nations at the Great Battle of Endor, but Dornea declined to join that body or the Alliance until after A'baht had driven the Axis from Dornean space entirely.
