Saul Karath was a high-ranking officer in the Republic Navy who ultimately defected to the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the Mandalorian Wars, a conflict that occurred approximately 4,000 years before the events of the original Star Wars trilogy.
As an admiral in the Republic Navy, Saul Karath was initially a staunch defender of the Galactic Republic. However, he grew disillusioned with the Republic's leadership and its handling of the Mandalorian threat. This disillusionment led him to betray the Republic and join forces with the Mandalorians.
Saul Karath's defection had significant consequences for the galaxy, as he brought his knowledge of Republic strategies and military technology to the Mandalorians, making them even more formidable adversaries. His actions and strategic insight had a profound impact on the course of the Mandalorian Wars.
After the war's conclusion, Saul Karath continued to play a role in the subsequent conflicts between the Sith and the Republic. He served as a loyal officer under the Sith Empire and participated in various battles and campaigns.
