Hiram Drayson was the first Emperor (Unknown - Year -1) of the Galactic Empire.

An Admiral (other sources say Grand Admiral) of the Republic Navy before his ascension, he and rogue Jedi assassin and bodyguard Agent 21 orchestrated a bloodless coup, removing those with pretensions to power from their positions and transforming the Republic remnants into the first Galactic Empire.

His reign was brief, plagued with administrative difficulties and rival warlords and claimants to the throne. Nonetheless, Drayson managed to successfully procure ships and equipment for the new Imperial Army and Navy and built the Empire into the preeminent force in the galaxy, including the construction of a secondary Super Star Destroyer where one was the estimated sustainable limit at the time estimated by Imperial planners.

Drayson directed the Imperial Navy from his flagship, the Death Knight, in campaigns against the rivals and seperatist governments and organisations that had proliferated during the transition to Empire and the wars previous. At the final battle of these campaigns, Captain Vodo Bonias, an officer of Drayson's, turned his own ships against the Emperor's and forced Drayson's loyal forces to retreat.

With these forces, he formed a neo-Imperial faction called the Order of Darkness, revealing himself as a Sith Lord and the cadre of Sith he had been cultivating during his reign. A number of officers defected to the Order, the most prominent being Imperial Army CO Balseraph and later Imperial Navy CO Admiral Dyvel Price and officer Evax, the latter bringing with them numerous ships and other assets of the Empire. The fortress Alamut was built as the stronghold of the Order.

However, after a brief period of prosperity, the Order disappeared, believed to have collapsed due to internal disputes. Drayson's death was never confirmed, but believed to have occured shortly before the Order's collapse.
