Name:
Acy Puko
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Allegiance to: himself
Occupation: Smuggler/gambler
Appearance:
Image

Personality: Cocky, persuasive, and deceiving. Often more arrogant than his money can support which leads to frequent fleeing. Gambling addiction keeps him swaying between the lines of “in debt” and “making profit” though he seems to be in the margins of both at any given time. Has an eye and an interest for vintage goods (ships, droids, etc.)

Force Sensitive: N

Skills/Powers: Above average flying skills developed and sharpened by fleeing from those he owes money to and stealing from others. Sharpshooter with a blaster pistol. Quick improviser.

Weaponry: Model 434

Acquired by taking it off of the unconscious body of the first hitman ever sent after him for unpaid gambling debt at the age of 16

Companion: Prowler 1000
Image
Nicknamed “P1,” a prowler droid stolen by an empirical defector and passed down until won by Puko in a game of sabaac. P1 serves as Puko’s personal companion and has had its exploration navigation upgraded to help navigate Puko’s ship, Moon Trick, through the galaxy. P1 docks on Puko’s lightweight mechanical backpack station when not in use.

Ship: VCX 350 “Moon Trick”
Image
Stolen a few years back and customized to his liking, Puko’s VCX 350 light freighter, nicknamed Moon Trick, is a 33-meter long freighter converted to conceal and transport mass amounts of smuggled goods. The standard 8 sleeping quarters have been converted to 5 sleeping quarters and a suite for Puko.

Biography: Abandoned in Canto Bight on the planet of Cantonica at a young age, Puko had to learn the arts of thievery and self-sufficiency young. Once he mastered pickpocketing, Puko discovered that commitment to deception and trickery could help him become successful, especially in the coastal city of Canto Bight where many wealthy tourists frequently visit.

Puko survived solely by pickpocketing the wealthy until the age of 12 when he decided to concede to his temptation and bet his week’s credits on the fathier races at the Canto Bight racetrack. After multiplying his worth from one day’s gambling, Puko began diving further and further into the gambling industry until he became known as one of the best Sabacc players on Cantonica.

At the age of 16, Acy Puko lost the highest-stakes game of sabacc he had ever played to a mob boss in Canto Casino. Puko claims he would’ve paid if it had been a legitimate game, but knowing that the mob boss had cheated him in the game, Puko grabbed his credits and ran. Puko then stole an escape pod amidst blaster fire and fled to one of Cantonica’s moons. Seeing that he would be followed by a hitman out to collect the money, Puko got out of the escape pod, closed it back up, and wired it to shock anyone that tried to touch it. When the hired hitman saw the escape pod and landed in a VCX 350, Puko waited and watched as the hitman approached the escape pod and was fried trying to open it. Puko then stole the hired man’s Model 434 blaster pistol off his body and fled in his VCX 350, naming it “Moon Trick” after the terms for his acquiring it.

For the past 10 years, Puko has captained Moon Trick with a crew of 4 ragtag smugglers and runaways transporting illegal goods from Tatooine and Cantonica through the galaxy. After one run in Cantonica 5 years ago, Puko went back to Canto Casino for a round of sabacc when a local collector sat down at his table. Puko noticed the collector’s Prowler P1000 droid and, being attracted by vintage goods, bet the collector his droid against Puko’s stack of credits. Puko laid down an Idiot’s Array, the unbeatable hand of sabacc, and won the P1000 exploration droid, which he had upgraded with galactic navigation to copilot his ship, made a backpack stationing rack for the droid to stay with him, and calls it “P1.”

Biography:
Aryca was born on the planet Eshan and identified as a potential jedi due to her own force sensitivity. She was being trained by a wandering Jedi which happened to be passing through the Six Sisters Confederation. She showed promise in telekinetic combat as well as healing abilities. During her training she would be taken to various worlds to learn about the Galaxy outside of the Inner Rim worlds which the Echani and their offshoot races occupied. She visited ancient worlds of Tython and Korriban. Important worlds such as Coruscant and Kuat. She was shown what happens to worlds that are destroyed such as Alderaan.

During one mission, about ten years ago, Aryca and her jedi master are on the planet Onderon. They were to act as mediators for a pair of nobles regarding a sector of land which they both hold claim over. While here Aryca noticed a faint shadow in the force briefly before one of the parties joined them. One of the parties was joined by a dark cloaked figure. During discussions he seemingly whispered into the ear of his host before they spoke. Before long, the demands of the cloaked figure's host caused a breakdown in negotiation. The figure removed his hood and revealed the face of a dark side sorcerer. About to leap into battle, Aryca was held back by her master who reminded her that they were there to promote peace.

Laughing at them, the dark sider taunts them and notifies them that his host will occupy the land in question and start a feud. As they were leaving the feud began, a fight in the hangar and the dark sider was at the center of it. Dark tendrils were holding back a group of soldiers while his benefactor's men were boarding the transports which brought the jedi to the planet. Aryca and her master was forced to defend themselves. A lightsaber duel erupted as the Dark Side Sorcerer pulled a crimson blade and engaged them.

The duel was intense and eventually the Jedi gained the upperhand, however, the sorcerer tossed Aryca across the hangar distracting the master long enough to wound him. Aryca was able to get herself back to her feet as the Dark Sider attacked her and began driving her back. Taunting her and urging her to tap into the dark side during their fight Aryca was struggling to hold him back. Just as she was about to give in, she saw her master appear behind the sorcerer. She smiled and made an attack to distract the sorcerer, however, he dodged and her blade instead found her own master's chest.

She was devastated. As she looked around for help she did not find it. The Dark side sorcerer had vanished. The battle had ended around them and she was alone in an empty hangar. Their ship had been stolen and she was alone on a strange planet. It took a couple of years, but she eventually had an opportunity to leave Onderon with a freighter crew. She spends the next year working for the freighter captain earning enough wages to buy her own ship after selling her master's lightsaber. She purchased a ship built on the frame of a Helix-class light freighter. It had been reconfigured as a heavy starfighter.

By 196 ABY, she and the freighter captain she had been working for had a falling out. Aryca went her own way selling one last cargo load before moving into the Unknown regions, eventually coming across the lair of the Sorcerer she met and fought previously on Onderon. Intent on killing him she infiltrated his lair only to find him waiting for her with refreshments prepared by his droids. After an hour long discussion they began working together. For the next few years she learned Sith Sorcery techniques from him and how to tap into the dark side without falling to it entirely. It was however, late in 199 ABY that Aryca awoke to find her new mentor and friend had left with all of his droids. A recorded message played for her when she went into the study explaining that he had left to investigate a disturbance in the outer rim and for her to not follow.

Aryca was angry, and in a fit of rage lashed out destroying the recording and much of the study before leaving in her own vessel heading back towards the galaxy.

The APP
Name: Derek Krassus
Age: 90
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: coalition
Rank: Grand Admiral (self appointed)
Appearance (Picture preferred, if not, detailed description accepted): Think Clint Eastwood
Personality: Charismatic, ruthless, cunning, vengeful, but not without reason and humanity
Force Sensitive: (Y/N) No
Skills/Powers: (Please include Force abilities and light saber forms if applicable) a tactical and strategic genius, particularly in the realm of naval operations. He’s also politically adept and has developed a significant reputation as a military mastermind.
Weaponry: Carries a blaster pistol but relies on his personal guard for protection. He’s 90, not necessarily commando material.
Ship (If you have one): Ascension

The Ascension is Imperious class star destroyer with several modifications. In the fashion of the Tector class, with the hangar bay minimized in order to accommodate enhanced/encreased shielding, armor, and armaments.

Biography: Krassus was born in 110 ABY on the planet of Kuat, his father being an employee of Kuat Drive Yards and his mother being a politician. As a child, Krassus was fascinated with the history of the Galactic Empire and the wonders of space. At the age of 18, he joined the Imperial Navy (Fel) as an officer. Graduating with top marks in his class at the naval academy, he showed a particular aptitude for capital ship centric warfare. While the New Republic had already transitioned to a lighter more flexible naval doctrine, the Fel Empire still had use for a man of Krassus’s talents.

His first assignment was onboard the ISD Remnant, as a gunnery officer. He served onboard the remnant for several years, earning several distinctions and promotions during that time. After 4 years, at the age of 24, he reached the rank of captain. This promotion was accompanied by his transfer to the Star Destroyer Relentless, which he served on for 5 years. It was as captain of the Relentless Krassus genuinely began to make his mark within the Fel Imperial Navy. His initial assignment was to conduct counter piracy operations along Fel trade and supply routes across the outer rim. Krassus conducted these operations with ruthless efficiency, eliminating countless pirate outfits and operations. His service in this capacity, however, came to an abrupt end when a vessel that Krassus had been tasked with escorting, alongside a considerable contingent of Fel warships, came under attack by Republic forces who possessed overwhelming force in the engagement. The flagship of the escort force, a Palleon class star destroyer, was destroyed early in the engagement, and the imperial forces were thrown into disarray. Krassus managed to rally the scattered imperial contingent and seize control of the situation at hand. He successfully coordinated the retreat of the force, enabling the escape of the VIP being escorted by serving as the convoys rear guard, buying the imperials the time they needed to jump to hyperspace. Shortly after their retreat, Krassus followed in suit, narrowly escaping with his life, while the Relentless suffered extensive damage. This “engagement” was considered a victory by the powers that be, and resulted in Krassus receiving a promotion, to rear admiral. As a rear admiral, Krassus was given the task of overseeing the Empire’s anti-piracy operations in the outer-rim, a testament to his success when he had carried out such operations in a direct manner onboard the Relentless, which had been repaired and retained by Krassus as his flagship. Krassus conducted his duties with considerable success and in two years time he had been promoted to vice admiral, within 2 more he was a full Admiral.

As an Vice Admiral, Krassus saw his responsibility’s shift to incorporate fleet actions against the enemies of the Fel Empire, namely the Alliance. A string of military victories against the Fel Empire’s rival and suddenly Krassus found himself an Admiral. In addition to full admiralty, Krassus also was able to secure a new flagship, one that suited his talents and ambitions better than any other. The Ascension, which was the last operational vessel of its class, at the time. An Executor Class Star Destroyer that served as much as a beacon of the past as it did a beacon of power.

Shortly after, however, the Fel Empress was assassinated, shattering the unity of the Empire. Krassus, using his newfound admiralty and the resources that it enabled him to requisition, threw his weight behind loyalist forces in the ongoing civil war, supporting the Fel line. It soon became apparent that such a position was futile, and within the year the leader of the faction that Krassus backed was killed. Upon their death, Krassus, who had become a central military figure within his chosen faction, splintered away along with those loyal to him, which amounted to a sizeable force. Seizing control over a few outer rim systems, Krassus became a warlord, which was not an uncommon path for capable military figures with the means after the instability had set in.

For a few years Krassus remained secluded to the outer rim, gathering strength and expanding, as former Imperials fled the civil war and sought new allegiance. His experience and position, as a well regarded military commander prior to the infighting, lent him credibility. The fact that he was somewhat removed from the bloodshed, which had only intensified after the alliance and Jedi had decided to intervene, also bolstered the attractiveness of Krassus’ operation in comparison to that of other potential options. Many a captain took his ship into the spheres of Krassus’ control, many a pilot would do the same.

In the year 148 ABY, Krassus gathered his forces and launched an invasion of the planet Fondor. The battle was over relatively quickly, with the faction of Fel remnants being in no position to fight off a coordinated, full scale assault. After a brief, but pitched battle, the planet capitulated. Many of the Fel remnants opted to be absorbed into Krassus’ growing faction, while others simply fled. Fondor immediately became the centerpiece of Krassus’ operation, with its legendary shipyards providing him with an invaluable military and industrial asset.
The capture of Fondor marked his rise to notability, with his own faction being recognized as a major player in the Fel conflict.

For the next 6 years, Krassus endured the Alliance offensive against the Fel remnant territory, fortifying his hold on Fondor, fashioning the planet into an imperial stronghold, while maintaining his hold on his outer rim holdings. By 154 ABY, however, Krassus had lost control of most of the systems he once held, being confined to Fondor and a few outer rim planets. The Fel remnants, however, had largely ceased the widespread infighting by this point to attempt to fight off the Alliance offensive, which had placed the Fel remnant on the brink of extinction. While not unified, they at least weren’t attempting to slaughter each other.

In 160 ABY, a new Alliance offensive besieged Fel territory, spearheaded and championed by the Jedi Order. The offensive was poorly executed and swiftly blunted by the Fel remnant, though it was during this offensive that Krassus suffered great personal loss and tragedy. This loss instilled a deep seated, pure hatred for the Jedi, one that would be a driving force in his actions of the future. Prior to the aforementioned tragedy, however, Krassus declared himself Grand Admiral, immersing himself in the defensive effort regarding Fel space. Much of the defensive credit regarding the defeat of the alliances offensive was attributed to Krassus, significantly enhancing his reputation across the galaxy.

A year following the Alliance’s failed offensive, the coalition took form. Krassus participated as a central figure in its founding, bringing a sizeable force into he fold, while also convincing many of the other factions amongst the Fel remnant to commit to such an alliance and accept the systems that wished to secede from the alliance. Within the coalition, Krassus was a central figure, though the de facto leader he was not.

A few years after the founding of the coalition, the war ended when a peace treaty was brokered. Krassus was present for and took part in the negotiations. He resisted the restriction of the coalition to the outer rim, relenting when pressure from both sides made it clear that it would move forward with or without him. He was successful, however, in attaining a few exceptions pertaining to a small handful of Imperial strongholds, one of which included Fondor. With peace taking hold of the galaxy, Krassus used the flexibility it granted to solidify his position within the coalition. Retaining Fondor as the center of his own “operation” he once again looked to expand into the outer-rim, with his influence in such systems having been weakened during the war against the Alliance. Over the course of the decade of peace, he successfully asserted control of a number of outer rim systems. One such system was Kamino, a relatively obscure system with one redeeming quality. It possessed the most developed cloning technology and facilities in the galaxy, having been the center of the industry since the clone wars.

When the Alliance launched their preemptive strike in 173 ABY, Krassus commanded his forces against them in numerous engagements. The war, lasting 14 years, culminated in a stalemate and the subsequent peace treaty would provide Krassus with an opportunity he had long awaited, an opportunity for revenge. During the negotiations, Krassus pushed hard to outlaw and criminalize the Jedi order, using political and diplomatic means to weaponize the negative sentiment against the Jedi. When the treaty had been finalized and the Jedi made into fugitives, Krassus happily led the coalition portion of the attack on Telos IV, relishing in a chance to unleash his wrath on the order that had caused him so much pain.

In the years that followed, Krassus has spent his efforts in retaining and strengthening his position within the coalition. As a founding member, he has endured quite a few attempts to replace and/or eliminate him from the hierarchy. None have succeeded, with most of the offending rivals ending up dead, a few imprisoned, and even fewer managing to escape his retaliation. Now, as the Carida concordat has come up for renegotiation, Krassus has dispatched a trusted representative to represent him in the negotiations, for while he is still not the coalitions leader, his opinion carries weight.

In Orbit Over Bastion, Capital of the Fel Empire


Death Squadron rushed out of hyperspace near Bastion. Jackson Valoran stood on the Bridge of the Leviathan, the final Executor Class Star Destroyer in Imperial Service, and watched as the view of Bastion rapidly expanded in his view. Valoran immediately reported his arrival to the planetary authorities, requesting an audience with the Emperor as soon as possible. "This is Rear Admiral Jackson Valoran, of the Imperial Navy. I am now approaching Bastion, in the Leviathan, with Death Squadron in tow and will be directly above the planet in a matter of minutes. Once planetary security has cleared me, I must speak with the Emperor as soon as possible. An urgent matter has arisen that requires his direct attention. I will remain on standby above the planet until further notice. Valoran out." After reporting to the authorities, Valoran checked the status of the Emperor's speech. Ever since Jackson had achieved a command aboard the Tyrannical, he had ensured his subordinates honored this day. Every year, on Empire day, Valoran ceased all non vital activity that he had the authority to halt and turned all attention to the Emperor's address. Despite the dire situation, it was no different this day. Jackson gave the order for all vessels under his command to turn the intercom systems to the Emperor's address. For a while, all was forgotten aboard 11 capital ships, as all attention turned to the Emperor's speech. The speech resonated through the vessels' corridors as the intercom blared with the Emperor's words. The men were inspired, an effect which this day never ceased to bring about. As the speech came to a close, the men and women who served the Emperor roared in unison. The roar was one of pride, for they were proud to serve such a glorious entity, that was the Empire. When the men aboardthe Leviathan had calmed, Valoran's voice boomed on the intercom, of every vessel in the squadron. "My Imperial brothers and sisters. I have served with many of you for years, while many others have joined us recently. For some, this is the first time you have heard the Emperor's voice while in service of the Empire. For others, it is the last time you will receive such a privilege. In trying times such as these, with Lithan's rebellion on the rise, the Empire must rally. It is the Emperor that has rallied us. Let his words serve as an inspiration to us, for he has imparted upon us the meaning of the Empire. It is larger than Palpatine, Vader, and himself. However, he is the champion of the Empire and we heed his words as if they were spoken from an entity greater than any man. For he is more than a man, he is the the heart of the Empire. You and I, my brothers and sisters, are the shield of the Empire. We protect the Empire from the threats that rally against it, and crush them with the Empire's righteous might. Let it be known, that when we are long forgotten, crumbled into dust, the Empire will still stand. Take pride in this, for the Empire is the true source of good throughout the galaxy, and you are it's protectors. Stand fast and hold steady in times of crisis, for only after such a time will the Empire rise to the challenge of a unifying the Galaxy and bringing peace and prosperity to it's people." When Valoran concluded his speech, "Long live the Empire!" was shouted in unison throughought the entirety of the squadron. Valoran was proud of being an Imperial, but his pride would need to be shelved for now. He had just received a summons from the Emperor and immediately took a shuttle to the planet. Upon arriving, he was ushered into the Emperor's presence. Upon reaching the Emperor, he dipped his head in a respective nod, for he had trouble maintaining balance with his leg, then followed with a salute. After the formalalities Valoran handed his cane to a stormtrooper, stood up straight, and began to speak. "I apologize for not following standard protocol and reporting this in over the long range communications, but I found that it would be better if I told you this in person. Admiral Griffith has taken the majority of his fleet and left to join Lithan. He deserted the Empire and went to the side of the traitors. He took 12 Palleon star destroyers and 4 Immobilizer interdictor cruisers, the only units not to desert the Empire, under his command were those of Death Squadron, which remains completely loyal to you my lord. I would have informed you over communications, but I don't know who can be trusted. I am yours to command, Emperor."

Notes: I know the Bio is a bit bland, and some personal details are a bit lacking, but I plan on addressing them over the RP. It also took a lot longer to piece together a bio that abided by the timeline than I thought.

His first assignment was onboard the ISD Remnant, as a gunnery officer. He served onboard the remnant for several years, earning several distinctions and promotions during that time. After 4 years, at the age of 24, he reached the rank of captain. This promotion was accompanied by his transfer to the Star Destroyer Relentless, which he served on for 5 years. It was as captain of the Relentless Krassus genuinely began to make his mark within the Fel Imperial Navy. His initial assignment was to conduct counter piracy operations along Fel trade and supply routes across the outer rim. Krassus conducted these operations with ruthless efficiency, eliminating countless pirate outfits and operations. His service in this capacity, however, came to an abrupt end when a vessel that Krassus had been tasked with escorting, alongside a considerable contingent of Fel warships, came under attack by Republic forces who possessed overwhelming force in the engagement. The flagship of the escort force, a Palleon class star destroyer, was destroyed early in the engagement, and the imperial forces were thrown into disarray. Krassus managed to rally the scattered imperial contingent and seize control of the situation at hand. He successfully coordinated the retreat of the force, enabling the escape of the VIP being escorted by serving as the convoys rear guard, buying the imperials the time they needed to jump to hyperspace. Shortly after their retreat, Krassus followed in suit, narrowly escaping with his life, while the Relentless suffered extensive damage. This “engagement” was considered a victory by the powers that be, and resulted in Krassus receiving a promotion, to rear admiral. As a rear admiral, Krassus was given the task of overseeing the Empire’s anti-piracy operations in the outer-rim, a testament to his success when he had carried out such operations in a direct manner onboard the Relentless, which had been repaired and retained by Krassus as his flagship. Krassus conducted his duties with considerable success and in two years time he had been promoted to vice admiral, within 2 more he was a full Admiral.

As an Vice Admiral, Krassus saw his responsibility’s shift to incorporate fleet actions against the enemies of the Fel Empire, namely the Alliance. A string of military victories against the Fel Empire’s rival and suddenly Krassus found himself an Admiral. In addition to full admiralty, Krassus also was able to secure a new flagship, one that suited his talents and ambitions better than any other. The Ascension, which was the last operational vessel of its class, at the time. An Executor Class Star Destroyer that served as much as a beacon of the past as it did a beacon of power.

Shortly after, however, the Fel Empress was assassinated, shattering the unity of the Empire. Krassus, using his newfound admiralty and the resources that it enabled him to requisition, threw his weight behind loyalist forces in the ongoing civil war, supporting the Fel line. It soon became apparent that such a position was futile, and within the year the leader of the faction that Krassus backed was killed. Upon their death, Krassus, who had become a central military figure within his chosen faction, splintered away along with those loyal to him, which amounted to a sizeable force. Seizing control over a few outer rim systems, Krassus became a warlord, which was not an uncommon path for capable military figures with the means after the instability had set in.

For a few years Krassus remained secluded to the outer rim, gathering strength and expanding, as former Imperials fled the civil war and sought new allegiance. His experience and position, as a well regarded military commander prior to the infighting, lent him credibility. The fact that he was somewhat removed from the bloodshed, which had only intensified after the alliance and Jedi had decided to intervene, also bolstered the attractiveness of Krassus’ operation in comparison to that of other potential options. Many a captain took his ship into the spheres of Krassus’ control, many a pilot would do the same.

In the year 148 ABY, Krassus gathered his forces and launched an invasion of the planet Fondor. The battle was over relatively quickly, with the faction of Fel remnants being in no position to fight off a coordinated, full scale assault. After a brief, but pitched battle, the planet capitulated. Many of the Fel remnants opted to be absorbed into Krassus’ growing faction, while others simply fled. Fondor immediately became the centerpiece of Krassus’ operation, with its legendary shipyards providing him with an invaluable military and industrial asset.
The capture of Fondor marked his rise to notability, with his own faction being recognized as a major player in the Fel conflict.

For the next 6 years, Krassus endured the Alliance offensive against the Fel remnant territory, fortifying his hold on Fondor, fashioning the planet into an imperial stronghold, while maintaining his hold on his outer rim holdings. By 154 ABY, however, Krassus had lost control of most of the systems he once held, being confined to Fondor and a few outer rim planets. The Fel remnants, however, had largely ceased the widespread infighting by this point to attempt to fight off the Alliance offensive, which had placed the Fel remnant on the brink of extinction. While not unified, they at least weren’t attempting to slaughter each other.

In 160 ABY, a new Alliance offensive besieged Fel territory, spearheaded and championed by the Jedi Order. The offensive was poorly executed and swiftly blunted by the Fel remnant, though it was during this offensive that Krassus suffered great personal loss and tragedy. This loss instilled a deep seated, pure hatred for the Jedi, one that would be a driving force in his actions of the future. Prior to the aforementioned tragedy, however, Krassus declared himself Grand Admiral, immersing himself in the defensive effort regarding Fel space. Much of the defensive credit regarding the defeat of the alliances offensive was attributed to Krassus, significantly enhancing his reputation across the galaxy.

A year following the Alliance’s failed offensive, the coalition took form. Krassus participated as a central figure in its founding, bringing a sizeable force into he fold, while also convincing many of the other factions amongst the Fel remnant to commit to such an alliance and accept the systems that wished to secede from the alliance. Within the coalition, Krassus was a central figure, though the de facto leader he was not.

A few years after the founding of the coalition, the war ended when a peace treaty was brokered. Krassus was present for and took part in the negotiations. He resisted the restriction of the coalition to the outer rim, relenting when pressure from both sides made it clear that it would move forward with or without him. He was successful, however, in attaining a few exceptions pertaining to a small handful of Imperial strongholds, one of which included Fondor. With peace taking hold of the galaxy, Krassus used the flexibility it granted to solidify his position within the coalition. Retaining Fondor as the center of his own “operation” he once again looked to expand into the outer-rim, with his influence in such systems having been weakened during the war against the Alliance. Over the course of the decade of peace, he successfully asserted control of a number of outer rim systems. One such system was Kamino, a relatively obscure system with one redeeming quality. It possessed the most developed cloning technology and facilities in the galaxy, having been the center of the industry since the clone wars.

When the Alliance launched their preemptive strike in 173 ABY, Krassus commanded his forces against them in numerous engagements. The war, lasting 14 years, culminated in a stalemate and the subsequent peace treaty would provide Krassus with an opportunity he had long awaited, an opportunity for revenge. During the negotiations, Krassus pushed hard to outlaw and criminalize the Jedi order, using political and diplomatic means to weaponize the negative sentiment against the Jedi. When the treaty had been finalized and the Jedi made into fugitives, Krassus happily led the coalition portion of the attack on Telos IV, relishing in a chance to unleash his wrath on the order that had caused him so much pain.

In the years that followed, Krassus has spent his efforts in retaining and strengthening his position within the coalition. As a founding member, he has endured quite a few attempts to replace and/or eliminate him from the hierarchy. None have succeeded, with most of the offending rivals ending up dead, a few imprisoned, and even fewer managing to escape his retaliation. Now, as the Carida concordat has come up for renegotiation, Krassus has dispatched a trusted representative to represent him in the negotiations, for while he is still not the coalitions leader, his opinion carries weight.

In Orbit Over Bastion, Capital of the Fel Empire


Death Squadron rushed out of hyperspace near Bastion. Jackson Valoran stood on the Bridge of the Leviathan, the final Executor Class Star Destroyer in Imperial Service, and watched as the view of Bastion rapidly expanded in his view. Valoran immediately reported his arrival to the planetary authorities, requesting an audience with the Emperor as soon as possible. "This is Rear Admiral Jackson Valoran, of the Imperial Navy. I am now approaching Bastion, in the Leviathan, with Death Squadron in tow and will be directly above the planet in a matter of minutes. Once planetary security has cleared me, I must speak with the Emperor as soon as possible. An urgent matter has arisen that requires his direct attention. I will remain on standby above the planet until further notice. Valoran out." After reporting to the authorities, Valoran checked the status of the Emperor's speech. Ever since Jackson had achieved a command aboard the Tyrannical, he had ensured his subordinates honored this day. Every year, on Empire day, Valoran ceased all non vital activity that he had the authority to halt and turned all attention to the Emperor's address. Despite the dire situation, it was no different this day. Jackson gave the order for all vessels under his command to turn the intercom systems to the Emperor's address. For a while, all was forgotten aboard 11 capital ships, as all attention turned to the Emperor's speech. The speech resonated through the vessels' corridors as the intercom blared with the Emperor's words. The men were inspired, an effect which this day never ceased to bring about. As the speech came to a close, the men and women who served the Emperor roared in unison. The roar was one of pride, for they were proud to serve such a glorious entity, that was the Empire. When the men aboardthe Leviathan had calmed, Valoran's voice boomed on the intercom, of every vessel in the squadron. "My Imperial brothers and sisters. I have served with many of you for years, while many others have joined us recently. For some, this is the first time you have heard the Emperor's voice while in service of the Empire. For others, it is the last time you will receive such a privilege. In trying times such as these, with Lithan's rebellion on the rise, the Empire must rally. It is the Emperor that has rallied us. Let his words serve as an inspiration to us, for he has imparted upon us the meaning of the Empire. It is larger than Palpatine, Vader, and himself. However, he is the champion of the Empire and we heed his words as if they were spoken from an entity greater than any man. For he is more than a man, he is the the heart of the Empire. You and I, my brothers and sisters, are the shield of the Empire. We protect the Empire from the threats that rally against it, and crush them with the Empire's righteous might. Let it be known, that when we are long forgotten, crumbled into dust, the Empire will still stand. Take pride in this, for the Empire is the true source of good throughout the galaxy, and you are it's protectors. Stand fast and hold steady in times of crisis, for only after such a time will the Empire rise to the challenge of a unifying the Galaxy and bringing peace and prosperity to it's people." When Valoran concluded his speech, "Long live the Empire!" was shouted in unison throughought the entirety of the squadron. Valoran was proud of being an Imperial, but his pride would need to be shelved for now. He had just received a summons from the Emperor and immediately took a shuttle to the planet. Upon arriving, he was ushered into the Emperor's presence. Upon reaching the Emperor, he dipped his head in a respective nod, for he had trouble maintaining balance with his leg, then followed with a salute. After the formalalities Valoran handed his cane to a stormtrooper, stood up straight, and began to speak. "I apologize for not following standard protocol and reporting this in over the long range communications, but I found that it would be better if I told you this in person. Admiral Griffith has taken the majority of his fleet and left to join Lithan. He deserted the Empire and went to the side of the traitors. He took 12 Palleon star destroyers and 4 Immobilizer interdictor cruisers, the only units not to desert the Empire, under his command were those of Death Squadron, which remains completely loyal to you my lord. I would have informed you over communications, but I don't know who can be trusted. I am yours to command, Emperor."

Notes: I know the Bio is a bit bland, and some personal details are a bit lacking, but I plan on addressing them over the RP. It also took a lot longer to piece together a bio that abided by the timeline than I thought.

Im glad we have another Coalition Admiral to jockey for position with Krast.

Before I accept Krassus however, I would like you to expand detail on his ship. Meaning it would be excellent to know its class, and, if available, more detailed features or anything that makes it stand out. As of yet we only knoe a name, meaning it could be either an X-Wing or Death Star like superweapon

Biography:
Aryca was born on the planet Eshan and identified as a potential jedi due to her own force sensitivity. She was being trained by a wandering Jedi which happened to be passing through the Six Sisters Confederation. She showed promise in telekinetic combat as well as healing abilities. During her training she would be taken to various worlds to learn about the Galaxy outside of the Inner Rim worlds which the Echani and their offshoot races occupied. She visited ancient worlds of Tython and Korriban. Important worlds such as Coruscant and Kuat. She was shown what happens to worlds that are destroyed such as Alderaan.

During one mission, about ten years ago, Aryca and her jedi master are on the planet Onderon. They were to act as mediators for a pair of nobles regarding a sector of land which they both hold claim over. While here Aryca noticed a faint shadow in the force briefly before one of the parties joined them. One of the parties was joined by a dark cloaked figure. During discussions he seemingly whispered into the ear of his host before they spoke. Before long, the demands of the cloaked figure's host caused a breakdown in negotiation. The figure removed his hood and revealed the face of a dark side sorcerer. About to leap into battle, Aryca was held back by her master who reminded her that they were there to promote peace.

Laughing at them, the dark sider taunts them and notifies them that his host will occupy the land in question and start a feud. As they were leaving the feud began, a fight in the hangar and the dark sider was at the center of it. Dark tendrils were holding back a group of soldiers while his benefactor's men were boarding the transports which brought the jedi to the planet. Aryca and her master was forced to defend themselves. A lightsaber duel erupted as the Dark Side Sorcerer pulled a crimson blade and engaged them.

The duel was intense and eventually the Jedi gained the upperhand, however, the sorcerer tossed Aryca across the hangar distracting the master long enough to wound him. Aryca was able to get herself back to her feet as the Dark Sider attacked her and began driving her back. Taunting her and urging her to tap into the dark side during their fight Aryca was struggling to hold him back. Just as she was about to give in, she saw her master appear behind the sorcerer. She smiled and made an attack to distract the sorcerer, however, he dodged and her blade instead found her own master's chest.

She was devastated. As she looked around for help she did not find it. The Dark side sorcerer had vanished. The battle had ended around them and she was alone in an empty hangar. Their ship had been stolen and she was alone on a strange planet. It took time, and resources, as well as selling her master's lightsaber, sans its focusing crystal of course; but she was able to purchase her passage back to Eshan. She found herself welcomed by her family and was soon contacted by the military to join as an officer of the planetary defense force.

While she officially declined, she agreed instead to take command of a revived Sun Guard. She was given a Munificent Frigate as a command ship for her new command. Using her new ship, she moved from system to system recruiting the best of the Echani warriors she could for the new Sun Guard. During one of her own missions she discovered the home of the mysterious Dark Side Sorcerer. She deployed her forces. She, now wielding power armor in addition to her already improved force abilities, landed with a task group while her ship provided air support.

She arrived at the Dark Sider's lair and broke in following a brief skirmish with his battle droid defenders. Upon confronting him he turned and smiled, "I was expecting you sooner. I see you were otherwise occupied." Within a few minutes instead of fighting the two force users were talking. An hour later, Aryca instead left the man in peace with a new knowledge. She returned every few months learning about Sith Sorcery and learning what the Dark Side could do to aid her to become stronger.

Eventually she returned and the Sorcerer was not there. Instead a message saying that he was going into the Unknown region to search for something ancient. Angered, Aryca boarded her ship and ordered the Sun Guard to prepare for an expedition into the Galaxy. The ship enters hyperspace towards the nearest inhabited system to take on supplies and prepare for a long excursion into the galaxy at large.

Notes: Had lots of difficulty deciding on a character, so if this one is too much/too out there, I have a couple of other ideas to run with.
.
Definitely an interesting app My only concern is the idea of a Jedi, even a fallen Jedi, leading the Sun Guard. Not to mention, in this environment, any force user that was public about their abilities would have been hunted down by the Alliance or the Coalition years ago. And since both Civilizations of the data from the Jedi Temple Archives, its hard for anyone with connections to the Order to live openly.

I would have to say that if you can find a way of editing it so that she is not a Jedi, and just the commander of the Sun Guard, or rather simply a fallen Jedi minus the Sun Guard, then that would be the most acceptable form of the character.

In fairness, the wiki does mention that the Venator-class was still used by the Galactic Alliance Remnant well into the second century ABY, so I don't think it's necessarily unreasonable to assume that some Clone Wars vessels are still in use (presumably by groups without sufficient funding to purchase more modern vessels) at the time of the RP.

That's fair, but the Venator had aspects of it that were not inherent to technology. It's large size allowed for a capable carrier unit for any faction able to use them. The Munificent should at least be modified so it's not so squishy.

Permit me to observe that the class of vessel Krassus has ( the other Coalition Grand Admiral) is also apparently an Executor-class SSD.

Also apparently was the last operational vessel of it's class.

Oh yay.

True, the Munificent-class would definitely not last long in combat against a more modern vessel without significant upgrades, though its Hyperwave jammer might make it useful as a support ship for some fleets even without extensive modification (if that's the intention).

The APP
Name: Prince-Chancellor Jorus Antilles
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: The Galactic Alliance
Rank: Chancellor, prince of Alderaan
Appearance:
Image
Personality: Jorus is an outgoing individual, sometimes compared to a social chameleon. He can find his ease in any setting, and change his own outward personality depending on the person he is talking to. He is a born negotiator, having been trained in conveying a neutral attitude from birth. His haughty arrogance is one thing people generally don’t like about the prince, as he always seems to convey that he is better than everyone else. While not particularly street smart or knowledgeable in any subject, the prince does know where his own abilities end and how to get other people to compensate for that.
Force Sensitive: No
Skills/Powers: Jorus Antilles knows how to converse. He has a knack for outward appearance, pomp and circumstance. He knows how to put on a good show, and how to get people to trust and like him. He is not skilled in any particular field himself, but his skill is to know people, and to know who would fit in any particular job. His verbal skills are also those of oratory, and he knows how to speak to and play a crowd. He is all outward show.
Weaponry: A traditional Alderaan vibrosabre, purely for show. A collection of old weapons
Ship: CR90 corvette
Biography: Jorus Antilles, of the Royal House of Antilles, was born in the purple in 164 ABY as Prince of Alderaan. After the destruction of Alderaan at the hands of the empire in 0 ABY, the Alderaanian race was not snuffed out entirely. Its diaspora remained, made up of those who escaped on time or those who lived throughout the galaxy. Through a distant family line the Royal House of Antilles lived on as well, and the family quickly sought to unite the diaspora. They were public figures consoling their people, and helping the people of Alderaan through the loss of their home world. While Princess Leia did her best to combat the empire, the Royal House of Antilles focussed on what remained of their people. While they had little political clout, their moral presence was enormous and heartfelt. When the Senate was reinstated, the seat of Alderaan was added too as a reminder of the evils of the empire. The Alderaanian seat only had voting power in matters of war or peace, to set an example, but the seat did give speaking power to the Royal House of Antilles, which they used to become a moderating voice in galactic politics. They never were a major player, but many looked to the royal family as a sort of moral guideline for the galaxy.

Jorus’ father, Ray Antilles, Prince of Alderaan, did his best to educate his son and his younger sister in the history of the galaxy. His bedtime stories consisted of histories of the galaxy, from the Clone Wars to the Galactic Civil War to all the wars in between. The trade federation, the rebel alliance… The destruction of their ancient home world featured heavily in his stories, and he made sure they never forgot how many of their people died under the empire. Ray Antilles was a sworn enemy of authoritarian regimes, believing that dictatorships were responsible for the worst crimes imaginable. As such, he used his seat in the Senate to actively encourage war with the Coalition. He had voted against the peace of 163 ABY, and he had always insisted that the war was not over until all souls in the galaxy lived under a free, democratic system. When the Jedi discovered a military build-up in 173 ABY, Ray Antilles was there to clamour for war. He himself took command of a battle cruiser, the Proton Torpedo, manned by the sons and daughters of the Alderaan diaspora. He was seen as a hero, and tales of his exploits were distributed far and wide across the galaxy. Jorus proudly read about the battles his father was engaged in, and how many enemy ships he had destroyed. The Siege of Commenor was formative for the young Antilles, since his father was held up there. When the Jedi saved them, Jorus rejoiced.

The luck of Ray Antilles would not hold out. The ambush at Eriadu was a grave defeat for the Alliance. Ray Antilles was among the many thousands who had died. This too was formative for Jorus. The young lad had celebrated the Jedi before, but now he grew weary of them. The Prince of Alderaan was honoured in the senate, and placed in a floating tomb in the ruins of Alderaan, along with his ancestors. Jorus, only 22 at the time, was inaugurated as the new Prince of Alderaan, and with it, he gained the traditional seat of his people, under the guardianship of the senator from Naboo. Guilan Turso learned Jorus all there was to know about the politics of Coruscant. The lobbies, the industrialists, the war hawks… He was taught everything, and saw it in action. In the meantime, he stepped into the void his father left behind, again consoling his people with gusto. He was allowed to serve on a military vessel, gaining the official rank of ‘captain’, but he was assigned to postings away from front line combat. The Alliance could not allow another prince of Alderaan to die so soon after the last one. During his time in the navy, Jorus assisted in the deportation of Jedi from various worlds. He was suspicious at first, but he found the Jedi ways interesting, and talking to the Jedi made them seem not so bad has he had originally thought. He was reminded of Commenor, when he had celebrated the order.

Two years after the death of his father, on his late father’s birthday, the Alliance and the Coalition signed an armistice. One that Jorus had championed. While he wasn’t entirely on board with the banning of the Jedi order, the peace that was about to come had priority. After all, he never forgot about Eriadu. He voted in favour, but never mingled in the hunting down of Jedi. Instead, he entirely committed himself to peaceful pursuits and rebuilding, using his fame to help fund reconstruction projects, and visiting worlds affected by the war. As a diplomat, he worked for the repatriation of POW’s and the remains of those who had fallen. There were several attempts by Jedi to contact him as a possible helping hand, but he never engaged in those attempts. What was in the past was in the past, after all. His soul was in reconstruction. He was also there when the Concordat was signed between the Alliance and the Coalition, where he got to know a few Coalition politicians.

In 195 ABY the chancellor of the Alliance was assassinated. Although some witnesses claimed to see the assassin with a red lightsabre, most of the higher echelons refused to believe that the One Sith could have possibly returned. They were too busy all vying for power, as the various factions all wanted to put forward their candidate. After various rounds of voting, no candidate had been chosen. The industrialist faction, the autonomous faction, the centralist faction, the war hawks, the pacifists, pro- and anti-Jedi agitators… The senate was never this fractured. No majority for any one party could be reached. This was when Jorus, 32 years old, stepped forward. He was loved by the people, a known negotiator, and had kept out of most political matters outside the armistice, which even the war hawks had supported. He collected the various candidates in a cabinet of galactic unity, distributing the ministries in a meritocratic manner. For five years now, Jorus has led this coalition of various factions with relative success. Managing the ambitions of the various politicians is hard, but as a negotiator and an orator, he has managed to keep most politicians at his side. He himself has engaged in various ceremonies trying to get people to regain trust in their government: visiting various worlds, engaging in conversation with various local leaders, and openly talking about important issues facing the Alliance. Right now, the most looming matter is that of the Concordat.

I can make the adjustments to remove the sun guard. Simply was looking for a means by which she could crew a frigate sized ship. I figured a Munificent would be outdated enough that a planetary defense militia could have one and be ok with parting with it.

And I stated in my app, most definitively, that the Exultation is the last of it's class at the time wherein it was being refurbished and repaired, so yeah...this stated, if your warship goes through, I'm going to make the assumption that your ship has been modified in no way at all.

But yeah, the Ascension is an executor, modernized, but not modified to the level of Ormata’s. Just modernized as to not be fielding 200 year old systems.

Name: Prince-Chancellor Jorus Antilles
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Allegiance paid to: The Galactic Alliance
Rank: Chancellor, prince of Alderaan
Appearance:
(Image)
Personality: Jorus is an outgoing individual, sometimes compared to a social chameleon. He can find his ease in any setting, and change his own outward personality depending on the person he is talking to. He is a born negotiator, having been trained in conveying a neutral attitude from birth. His haughty arrogance is one thing people generally don’t like about the prince, as he always seems to convey that he is better than everyone else. While not particularly street smart or knowledgeable in any subject, the prince does know where his own abilities end and how to get other people to compensate for that.
Force Sensitive: No
Skills/Powers: Jorus Antilles knows how to converse. He has a knack for outward appearance, pomp and circumstance. He knows how to put on a good show, and how to get people to trust and like him. He is not skilled in any particular field himself, but his skill is to know people, and to know who would fit in any particular job. His verbal skills are also those of oratory, and he knows how to speak to and play a crowd. He is all outward show.
Weaponry: A traditional Alderaan vibrosabre, purely for show. A collection of old weapons
Ship: CR90 corvette
Biography: Jorus Antilles, of the Royal House of Antilles, was born in the purple in 164 ABY as Prince of Alderaan. After the destruction of Alderaan at the hands of the empire in 0 ABY, the Alderaanian race was not snuffed out entirely. Its diaspora remained, made up of those who escaped on time or those who lived throughout the galaxy. Through a distant family line the Royal House of Antilles lived on as well, and the family quickly sought to unite the diaspora. They were public figures consoling their people, and helping the people of Alderaan through the loss of their home world. While Princess Leia did her best to combat the empire, the Royal House of Antilles focussed on what remained of their people. While they had little political clout, their moral presence was enormous and heartfelt. When the Senate was reinstated, the seat of Alderaan was added too as a reminder of the evils of the empire. The Alderaanian seat only had voting power in matters of war or peace, to set an example, but the seat did give speaking power to the Royal House of Antilles, which they used to become a moderating voice in galactic politics. They never were a major player, but many looked to the royal family as a sort of moral guideline for the galaxy.

Jorus’ father, Ray Antilles, Prince of Alderaan, did his best to educate his son and his younger sister in the history of the galaxy. His bedtime stories consisted of histories of the galaxy, from the Clone Wars to the Galactic Civil War to all the wars in between. The trade federation, the rebel alliance… The destruction of their ancient home world featured heavily in his stories, and he made sure they never forgot how many of their people died under the empire. Ray Antilles was a sworn enemy of authoritarian regimes, believing that dictatorships were responsible for the worst crimes imaginable. As such, he used his seat in the Senate to actively encourage war with the Coalition. He had voted against the peace of 163 ABY, and he had always insisted that the war was not over until all souls in the galaxy lived under a free, democratic system. When the Jedi discovered a military build-up in 173 ABY, Ray Antilles was there to clamour for war. He himself took command of a battle cruiser, the Proton Torpedo, manned by the sons and daughters of the Alderaan diaspora. He was seen as a hero, and tales of his exploits were distributed far and wide across the galaxy. Jorus proudly read about the battles his father was engaged in, and how many enemy ships he had destroyed. The Siege of Commenor was formative for the young Antilles, since his father was held up there. When the Jedi saved them, Jorus rejoiced.

The luck of Ray Antilles would not hold out. The ambush at Eriadu was a grave defeat for the Alliance. Ray Antilles was among the many thousands who had died. This too was formative for Jorus. The young lad had celebrated the Jedi before, but now he grew weary of them. The Prince of Alderaan was honoured in the senate, and placed in a floating tomb in the ruins of Alderaan, along with his ancestors. Jorus, only 22 at the time, was inaugurated as the new Prince of Alderaan, and with it, he gained the traditional seat of his people, under the guardianship of the senator from Naboo. Guilan Turso learned Jorus all there was to know about the politics of Coruscant. The lobbies, the industrialists, the war hawks… He was taught everything, and saw it in action. In the meantime, he stepped into the void his father left behind, again consoling his people with gusto. He was allowed to serve on a military vessel, gaining the official rank of ‘captain’, but he was assigned to postings away from front line combat. The Alliance could not allow another prince of Alderaan to die so soon after the last one. During his time in the navy, Jorus assisted in the deportation of Jedi from various worlds. He was suspicious at first, but he found the Jedi ways interesting, and talking to the Jedi made them seem not so bad has he had originally thought. He was reminded of Commenor, when he had celebrated the order.

Two years after the death of his father, on his late father’s birthday, the Alliance and the Coalition signed an armistice. One that Jorus had championed. While he wasn’t entirely on board with the banning of the Jedi order, the peace that was about to come had priority. After all, he never forgot about Eriadu. He voted in favour, but never mingled in the hunting down of Jedi. Instead, he entirely committed himself to peaceful pursuits and rebuilding, using his fame to help fund reconstruction projects, and visiting worlds affected by the war. As a diplomat, he worked for the repatriation of POW’s and the remains of those who had fallen. There were several attempts by Jedi to contact him as a possible helping hand, but he never engaged in those attempts. What was in the past was in the past, after all. His soul was in reconstruction. He was also there when the Concordat was signed between the Alliance and the Coalition, where he got to know a few Coalition politicians.

In 195 ABY the chancellor of the Alliance was assassinated. Although some witnesses claimed to see the assassin with a red lightsabre, most of the higher echelons refused to believe that the One Sith could have possibly returned. They were too busy all vying for power, as the various factions all wanted to put forward their candidate. After various rounds of voting, no candidate had been chosen. The industrialist faction, the autonomous faction, the centralist faction, the war hawks, the pacifists, pro- and anti-Jedi agitators… The senate was never this fractured. No majority for any one party could be reached. This was when Jorus, 32 years old, stepped forward. He was loved by the people, a known negotiator, and had kept out of most political matters outside the armistice, which even the war hawks had supported. He collected the various candidates in a cabinet of galactic unity, distributing the ministries in a meritocratic manner. For five years now, Jorus has led this coalition of various factions with relative success. Managing the ambitions of the various politicians is hard, but as a negotiator and an orator, he has managed to keep most politicians at his side. He himself has engaged in various ceremonies trying to get people to regain trust in their government: visiting various worlds, engaging in conversation with various local leaders, and openly talking about important issues facing the Alliance. Right now, the most looming matter is that of the Concordat.

Permit me to observe that there was no First Order to make the Resurgent-class and that the Pellaeon is a bit better in my opinion. Also, I doubt thd Inperial Knights exist due to their use of the Force.
