Race: Bothan

Faction: New Republic Defense Fleet

Character Alignment: Good

Character Background: Trask wasn't really anyone before he joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic, or the Rebel Alliance as it was more commonly known. He worked in logistics in a small shipping company out of his home planet of Bothawaiu towards the tail end of the Clone Wars. Like many command staff within the Rebel Alliance he didn't just live under the oppression of the Galactic Empire, he saw as the system he believed in crumbled and fell into something much darker. As a man renowned as a hero of the Clone Wars throughout the Galaxy.

Some still considered now Emperor Palpatine a hero, the liberties they were loosing deemed a 'necessary' evil in order to facilitate a peaceful transition, ensure that war couldn't strike again and eradicate any last Separatist Cells that existed in the Galaxy. Trask, like many others, didn't buy what the Imperial Propaganda machine was selling. When his firm was approached with a contract to move a Clone Wars Era Venator to the scrapyard world of Bracca they accepted. Only to be approached by Rebel Agents. They offered little in the way of money but still asked that the firm hand the ship over to them rather than scrapping it on Bracca. They agreed, but Trask had one condition. That he be allowed to go along with the ship to join the Rebellion.

The handoff didn't go exactly as planned, someone within the firm gave them up to the Empire, so when the tugs approached the rendezvous they were jumped by several Imperial Ships after the Rebel ships turned up. With only a skeleton crew aboard Trask gave the command to fire up the main reactor and bring power to the hyperdrive. While they managed to escape with no hopes of finding the Rebellion, no real crew, and no chance of entering any major system they laid low for several rotations while they quietly worked away on repairs. Keeping in focus on the holonet. Yag Ilsen, a Givin Trask had aboard the ship scoured the holonet for cyphers and codes that may lead them to the Rebellion. When they discovered that there was a refuelling base on Vrogas Vas they set course, and finally joined the Rebellion.

His crew were split and separated, however, recognising his skill from his civilian life and the fact that he managed to keep a barely functional Venator flying and secure with very little crew Trask was given the position of Captain and made the second in command of the ship, now christened the Relentless Endeavour. It took several years until the Endeavour was deemed to be 'fighting fit'. During which time the Battle of Yavin came and went. The Endeavours first official mission was the evacuation of Vrogas Vas. With Darth Vader himself on the planet dealing heavy casualties to the Rebel Alliance with no backup it was deemed an acceptable use for one of the few capital ships within the Alliance Navy. While it saw no combat at this time the mission was deemed a success.

Trask helped command the ship through several small skirmishes however its first real test was after the Battle of Hoth. As the Rebel Fleet scattered it was soon discovered that the Imperials had cracked Rebel Encryption protocols, the instant one Rebel Cell contacted another Cell the Imperial Fleet could pinpoint its location. Acting as the Flagship for the task force the Endeavour came under heavy fire when the Imperials discovered its location. Pulling the Tano Manoeuvre they managed to hold off the larger Imperial force long enough to plot their hyperspace route out of the fight.

Several other skirmishes and battles came and went throughout the years until the fateful battle of Endor. The Rebel Fleet was joined together for two assaults, a small assault as a diversionary tactic on Sullust while every other available ship went to Endor to fight the Second Death Star and the Emperor himself. It was a long gruelling battle, though eventually as the Death Star II was destroyed the Imperial Fleet fractured and the war by many was considered won.

With the victory, and growing navy promotions were rapid as the navy tried to grow to accommodate its new set of circumstances. Enlistment went up as worlds joined the Fledgning New Republic, while the New Republic officially maintained five fleets within these fleets were many different tasks forces. Trask became a Vice Admiral, commander of the 67th Defense Force also known as Task Force Rancor. Typically assigned to holding territory against rampaging Imperial Warlords or pirates he was most recently assigned to the Grizmallt campaign, holding it against probing Imperial incursions from the Core as well as rogue elements.

Character Personality: Trask is free-thinking enough to adapt to obstacles but is logistical in his initial approach. Warm and charismatic to those that he knows he has a reputation for caring deeply and respecting every individual member of his crew. A firm believer that anyone can achieve and advance through merit and hard work.

Character's name: Liam Zydron/Obsidian-7

Race: Human

Faction: Imperial Remnant

Character Alignment: Good

Character Background:

Liam was born as a young human boy on the agricultural colony of Tartan 4 and spent many hours hearing of the valiant Clone Troopers and the heroic Anakin Skywalker. Those stories, handcrafted by those around him, and by those in power at the time, urged him into becoming a fighter pilot.

After finishing his training, he had distinguished himself in the academy as a pilot, eager to fight to uphold this new era of peace. For the next few years he had gotten what he wanted; striking at pirates, gangsters, and even separatist remnants. It was like living the dream. Finally, he too, could be a hero like the Clone army and Anakin.

But then it felt like the galaxy was changing, terrorist attacks began to happen more frequently, and the holonet was buzzing with harsh and slanderous rumors about what the Empire does to aliens, how it ruthlessly hunted down dissenters. New orders about how dissention and insubordination were no longer tolerated.

And then Liam noticed something himself, his mothership the ISD Blackstar, started to lean away from protecting planets, to attacking them, officially explained as an attack on a nest of terrorists, or rising gang activity. If that wasn’t enough, rumors about an expensive battle station had temporarily leaked into the imperial net, resources and manpower being diverted to some mysterious project.

It turned out that station was called ‘the Death Star’, and its sinister purpose had been revealed too. The Empire had tried to keep the ‘planet killer’ part hidden, but the rebels were too pleased with themselves to keep it secret, and every extranet channel had nearly become a mouthpiece for rebel propaganda.

Then Liam was starting to change his mind too, over time as his ship operated with others, he began to hear more rumors. Things like Vaders’ spontaneous promotions (and demotions), new inquisitor and black ops squads. This wasn’t the Empire he signed up with. So, he resolved to find some way to defect, but in the end, he was just a fighter pilot, not a spy or a moff. TIE fighters didn’t come with hyper drives, and he had friends on the Blackstar, people he’d have to fight if he did defect.

Not that he had a choice, time passed, and he began to think he was doomed to be an Imperial forever. Several small skirmishes passed, the failed assault on Hoth, and finally the battle over Endor.

Behold the might of the Imperial Navy... you'll be here forever.

Character Personality: Sure, he’s troubled, but all that goes away when he’s out flying or spending time with his friends. That’s just how lighthearted this Liam guy is, besides, it’s not like there’s much else to do when most core worlds blacklisted your group. With no more career opportunities his friends and family are all he has left, so even though he wants to be a ‘hero’, he’ll gladly die for those close to him.

Character's Physical description (Describe or post a picture of what your character looks like):

As Liam spends most of his days inside a starship, he has become rather pale. But he stands at 6'1 with fair to average facial features, brown hair, and hazel eyes to complete his 'average' look. His body isn't as toned as a stormtroopers', but as a pilot he's responsible for basic maintenance, and with his free time he has more than enough reason and opportunity to keep his body in shape. Random civilians, and unsuspecting troopers, thinking they can take him in a fight just because he's a pilot would be dead wrong.

Character Class (choose one): Soldier

Items: Standard TIE pilot’s suit, a hidden data pad with a collection of ‘Hutts’ gifts’, and several personal keepsakes from his friends. Technically also owns his customized TIE/LN.

Supporting Characters:

Obsidian Squad-Not to be confused with other similarly named squads, they just collectively decided each other’s suggestions were lousy and named themselves after the dominant imperial color. Obsidian Black. A group of close pilots whose numbers rarely need replenishing, most of them have known each other straight out of academy, and they trust each other unconditionally; at least out in space. Liam has long since been wary of Obisidan-6, aka Maran, and his pazaak game.

Captain Merril Lorrange-Promoted soon after the former Blackstar Captain privately met with Vader. A competent enough captain, but without many chances to prove herself, following her promotion, and the defeat of the Empire at Endor. She has been constantly stressed and frustrated with the imperial warlords vying for what remains of the navy.

Kunsel Crispin-A stormtrooper Liam is on friendly terms with, their conversations sometimes seem violent but that’s just friendly rivalry, they’re good childhood friends and entered the academy together. Despite enrolling into different programs.


approved. Welcome aboard
@FalloutJack Probably need a whole new link. The one in the 0 post is invalid


Thanks for the heads up. It should be all set now
Going for that happy medium between authenticity and creative nuance. Hope you like it.



Approved! Feel free to add her to the character tab
@nitemare shape First question: Are canon books considered canon for you? Comics etc. just as they aren't specifically referenced.

Second: What's the kind of position we can take? I.E. Could we play a Moff in control of his own Imperial Remnant? Pirate Lord? CIS Resurgent? Force Wielder?

Just trying to gauge the terrain


The books and comics are not necessarily canon, but feel free to pull from them. As far as your second question...yes, yes, yes. You can essentially play whatever type of character you want. If want to play a Moff, go for it. A pirate? Knock yourself out. Force wielded, have fun.
