==Description==
Dorin is one of the most luxurious planets in the galaxy, though few are able to enjoy it. The planet is located between two [[Black_hole|black holes]], providing it with a unique atmosphere that has been proven to be toxic to a majority of species throughout the universe. It is the home of the famed [[Kel Dor]] race. The [[Kel Dor]], who have genetically evolved to withstand such harsh elements, inhabit a majority of the planet’s surface. Due to this genetic structure, this also requires [[Kel Dor]] traveling away from Dorin to wear anti-ox masks and protective eye pieces to filter out the harmful oxygen and nitrogen atoms.

Much of the planet's economy rests on technology and tourism. The planet's surface is filled with natural resources, as are many of the other planets surrounding Dorin in the system. Dorinian products are highly regarded in the galactic market and greatly valued throughout the galaxy. Though the harsh atmosphere is deadly to many beings, that hasn’t stopped a stream of outsiders to pay a visit to Dorin. The [[Kel Dor]], being very accommodating hosts, provide numerous oxygen-rich facilities and buildings, allowing for a comfortable stay to all outsiders. In fact, a majority of the buildings on Dorin have their own state-of-the-art oxygen enrichment systems. Kel Dor usually find it more suitable to be generous hosts, wearing their anti-ox masks in the oxygen-rich facilities, than to have their guests be in discomfort.

The geography of the planet is the primary cause for the surge in the tourist industry. Three long mountainous regions make up a majority of Dorin's surface: the Ezion Mountains, which cover much of the western portion of the planet; the Ukric Mountains, which are clustered together in the northern region; and the Dorel Mountains, which are located in the east. The peak of Mount Knor, one of the more scenic areas of the planet, is located in Dorel Mountains, near the tourist city of Tadmor. The capital city of Tarsus lies in a low forest valley between the Ezion and Ukric Mountains. The area is known for its surplus of Kand trees, rare trees which only inhabit Dorin and produce a delicious fruit. Forest regions also inhabit most of the north, containing Zand trees, which are the trees that are often used in manufacturing.

==History==

Dorin joined the [[Galactic Republic]] nearly six thousand years ago. Because so many Jedi came from Dorin, the Republic funded the construction of an enclave on the planet. The atmosphere limited the regular students to [[Kel Dor]]. [1]

In the past, the Dorin system was relatively self-sufficient, answering to its own planetary government that governed Dorin as well as the surrounding planets in the system. The government, known as the [[Kel Dor Confederacy]], ran efficiently and smoothly until, with the help of outside influence, a dreadful battle split the planet’s population in two, leaving the world in disorder and chaos. This marker was known as the “[[The Royal Purge|Royal Purge]]”.

It all began several hundred years ago, when the ruling monarch of Dorin was Sultan Barkos Talmon, son of Harhur Talmon. The Talmon family had been the ruling dynasty of Dorin for countless years, passing on the throne from generation to generation. Barkos was a great nobleman, as well as a divine leader. He rarely worked for his own personal gain, always working for the good of the Kel Dor. It came time for him to marry, and his father, Harhur, arranged his marriage to Juhaz, who later born him a son, Nebo Talmon. Barkos, though, was deeply unhappy, for his love went out to another woman, Eli Koon, daughter of Dorinian noble. Eli later gave birth to Barkos’ son, Jaala Koon, who kept his mother’s last name to hide him from the Dorinian public. Barkos loved both Eli and Jaala, and became to despise Juhaz and Nebo, who became power-hungry and corrupt. Later, at the crowning ceremony where the monarch passed down his ruling powers to his heir, Barkos shocked the Dorinian populace by revealing his son Jaala and naming him Sultan over Dorin, denying it to Nebo, the rightful heir. The Talmon family, along with their supporters, was outraged, while the other half of the population rejoiced. The Kel Dor Confederacy was thus split in two, beginning on non-ending clash known as the “Great Conflict”.

As years passed, the Kel Dor Confederacy unified once more. The Great Conflict was nowhere near over, but it had subsided. The Talmon family and their supporters lived on, tolerating the Koon dynasties control while they waited for the time to strike once more. Around 350 years passed when the Talmon’s finally made their move. Gaining support and resources from outside investors who wanted in on the Dorinian economy, the Talmon family, along with thousands of armed supporters, stormed the Sultan’s palace, killing all who stood in their path to the throne room. They captured Nekoda Koon, the Sultan of that period, and brought him out to the front of the palace. There, Zaccai Talmon, the heir in the line of Nebo Talmon, struck down Nekoda Koon, claiming the throne for himself. With that the Talmon clan struck down all members of the Koon family. Rumor has arisen though that the dynasty was not completely destroyed, stating that through the efforts of a few loyalists, the son of Nakoda was safely transported off of Dorin. The Talmon’s took over immediately and began persecuting Koon followers. Many went into hiding, but most were captured and became slaves. The Talmon’s had became extremely cruel and malicious. All open opposition was crushed. Thus was known as the “Royal Purge”.

The Royal Purge

Veynom: I like links.

'''The Royal Purge''' was the climactic end of an era known as the Great Conflict in the history of the planet [[Dorin]] and the [[Kel Dor]] race.

==History==

===The Past===

In the past, the Dorin system was relatively self-sufficient, answering to its own planetary government that governed Dorin as well as the surrounding planets in the system. The government, known as the Kel Dor Confederacy, ran efficiently and smoothly until, with the help of outside influence, a dreadful battle split the planet’s population in two, leaving the world in disorder and chaos.

===The Great Conflict===

It all began several hundred years ago, when the ruling monarch of Dorin was Sultan Barkos Talmon, son of Harhur Talmon. The Talmon family had been the ruling dynasty of Dorin for countless years, passing on the throne from generation to generation. Barkos was a great nobleman, as well as a divine leader... rarely working for his own personal gain, but always working for the good of the Kel Dor.

When it came time for him to marry, his father, Harhur, arranged his marriage to Juhaz, who later born him a son, Nebo Talmon. Barkos, though, was deeply unhappy, for his love went out to another woman, Eli Koon, daughter of a Dorinian noble. Eli later gave birth to Barkos’ son, Jaala Koon, who kept his mother’s last name to hide him from the Dorinian public. Barkos loved both Eli and Jaala, and began to despise Juhaz and Nebo, who became power-hungry and corrupt. Later, at the crowning ceremony where the monarch passed down his ruling powers to his heir, Barkos shocked the Dorinian populace by revealing his son Jaala and naming him Sultan over Dorin, denying it to Nebo, the rightful heir. The Talmon family, along with their supporters, was outraged, while the other half of the population rejoiced. The Kel Dor Confederacy was thus split in two, beginning on none-ending clash known as the “Great Conflict”.

===The Royal Purge===

As years passed, the Kel Dor Confederacy unified once more. The Great Conflict was nowhere near over, but it had subsided. The Talmon family and their supporters lived on, tolerating the Koon dynasties control while they waited for the time to strike once more. Around 350 years passed when the Talmons finally made their move. Gaining support and resources from outside investors who wanted in on the Dorinian economy, namely the Trade Federation, the Talmon family, along with thousands of armed supporters, stormed the Sultan’s palace, killing all who stood in their path to the throne room. They captured Nekoda Koon, the Sultan of that period, and brought him out to the front of the palace. There, Zaccai Talmon, the heir in the line of Nebo Talmon, struck down Nekoda Koon, claiming the throne for himself. With that the Talmon clan struck down all members of the Koon family. Rumor has arisen though that the dynasty was not completely destroyed, stating that through the efforts of a few loyalists, the son of Nakoda was safely transported off of Dorin. The Talmons took over immediately and began persecuting Koon followers. Many went into hiding, but most were captured and became slaves. The Talmons had become extremely cruel and malicious, crushing all opposition they faced. Thus was known as the “Royal Purge”.

===The Re-establishment===

After many years, the heir of Nakoda, [[Vel Koon]], arose and led a small team to once again free the planet of Dorin from Talmon rule. Backed by support of the Trade Federation, who had been betrayed by the Talmons after originally aiding in their initial overthrow and now looked to redeem their mistakes, [[Vel Koon]] issued a planet-wide raid, invading the planet capital with his small band of loyalists. He successfully captured the palace, and placed Zaccai Talmon under arrest, who would later under-go trial and execution. [[Vel Koon]] then began re-establishing the governing body, turning it into a democracy rather than a monarchy. This overhaul led to many new initatives to spur on Dorin's continued success, such as the founding of the Dorinian Military Corps.

}}
'''Cloud City''', once also known as '''Cloud City and BST Extractions and Transportation''' (CCBST), is a mining company which is a nationalized subsidiary of the [[Galactic Empire]].

==History==
According to salvaged records, the first incarnation of the [[:Category:Mining Companies|mining company]] known as Cloud City was founded by [[Paraic of Argoth]], a [[Devaronian]] [[:Category:Males|male]] who also formed the [[Order of H'kig]], a religious enclave.<ref name="Paraic">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010821080618/http://www.swcombine.com/rules/races/index.php?race=Devaronian Famous Devaronians - Paraic of Argoth] (Archived)</ref><ref name="Leaving Cloud City"/>

In [[Year 6]], during the tenure of Chairman [[Uther Von Kaldreon]], the company absorbed [[Blue Sabre Transportation]] and became known as "Cloud City and BST Extractions and Transportation" for several years.

===Imperium's Tenure===
Circa Year 8, [[Uther Von Kaldreon]] had looted Cloud City and BST, the mining company of the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]], and required a new leader to restore it. They selected Orphaea Imperium to do so. Cloud City and BST was a shambles when Orphaea arrived. [[Uther Von Kaldreon|Kaldreon]] had appropriate all the mines, most of the cities, and all but the primary freighter fleet and a handful of prospecting vehicles. At the same time, staff were departing from all sides, whether siding with [[Uther Von Kaldreon|Kaldreon]] against the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]] or taking advantage of the confusion to seek new horizons.

Fortunately, Orphaea had the wealth of the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]] to back him in his reconstruction efforts. Surprising many observers (who had not been made party to the truth of earlier events), he did not immediately strip the company even further as would be expected of a pirate, but started a massive recruitment drive and collecting materials from the open market. With all new recruits, reconstruction would be a difficult, though not insurmountable, task.

A month or two in, with things starting to settle into some degree of normalcy, Orphaea approached [[Imperial High Command]] with a new idea: Cloud City and [[Centarra Mining]] develop a planet of their own. [[Centarra Mining|Centarra]] had stepped in to provide mining services while Cloud City was being rebuilt, and a large planet built by the two companies would not only help consolidate the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]], but the income from the completed planet could provide a huge percentage of both companies' budget. Scouting for planets, both companies eventually started prospecting and preparing construction on Tarorasuil, in Bortras system in the Coruscant sector. It would, of course, not prove that easy, and the constant rotation of new staff through Cloud City and the assassination of [[Centarra Mining|Centarra]] leader [[Quard Ithan]] saw the project handed over, half-completed, to the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]].

While at Cloud City, Orphaea worked on the side to build his wealth. Eventually, he invested some of this wealth into the creation of [[Galaxywide NewsNets]], an information corporation which he hoped would eventually supplant all the mediocre broadcasters and tabloids dominating the holonet at the time.

After a time at Cloud City, Orphaea was offered the position of [[Minister of Truth]] for the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]] proper, and a seat on [[Imperial High Command]]. However, the strain of taking Cloud City from the brink to a large and busy company had broken Orphaea, and he retired from Cloud City, leaving former [[Cenatarra Mining|Centarra]] second [[Eric Zahm]] as the next CEO.

On Year 13 Day 229, Cloud City would be dissolved. [[Ben Tzadikim]] would then become CEO of the newly formed [[Imperial Mining Corporation]]. It is presumed all Cloud City assets were transferred to IMC before its dissolution.

'''House Soyak-Ikron''' is a founding house of the [[The_Avance_Coalition|Avance Coalition]]. As the oldest Avancian House, it merged the Soyak and Ikron line and with other interactions became family to the Tylger's and [[House_Ismay|von Ismay's]]. It is part of the largest family in the Galaxy with several members of the family occupying key leadership positions all over the Galaxy. Many family members are honorary members of the Soyak-Ikron House (e.g. [[Alex Tylger]]).

=History=

The Soyak-Ikron House founded the Soyak Ikron Corporation (SIC), which was responsible for keeping [[The Wraiths]] from being dissolved, as well as for financial and moral backing of the [[Rendili StarDrive]] (RSD) during its separation from the Galactic Empire. SIC was also responsible for securing the datacards of The Wraiths and Rendili StarDrive. Amongst the most recent acquisitions of the House is the paramilitary security corporation [[The Jensaarai]], and [[Centurion Arms]], an Ikron family-owned weapon manufacturing corporation, there are however other businesses outside of Avance territory owned or led by House or family members.

Soyak Ikron Corporation became Soyak-Rainer Enterprises (SRE) when [[Kyle Rainer]] partnered with [[Venix Soyak]] to form the Avance Coalition, however Rainer did not join House Soyak-Ikron, forming his own House, thus becoming one of the two 'Founding' Houses. Other Houses have followed suit after the dual creation.

The Avance Coalition was led for over six years by the High Lord Venix Soyak, who on Y12 D309 stepped down as First Seat of the Avance Coalition and was succeeded by Lord [[Horthon Gorthy]], Second in command of the Soyak-Ikron at that time.

Lord Protectorate [[Navik Ikron]], leader of the Soyak-Ikron House since its beginning, became Second Seat of the Avance Coalition on Y13 D56.

House Soyak-Ikron is and will most likely remain the 'leadership' House. Throughout the history of the House its members have created, owned and led everything that is known today as the Avance Coalition. The future of the House seems as bright as its past.

===House Rainer===
On Y13 D37 House Rainer was merged into Soyak-Ikron. In the short statement to ANN High Lord Ikron said: "We formally recognize the contributions of House Rainer and Kyle Rainer. We honor them and welcome them into our House. We will continue to strive, grow and led Avance as necessary - we are the true guardians of the Coalition."

=Structure and Organization=

House Soyak-Ikron is governed by a two-party Caste system: the Political Caste and the Military Caste. Historically, members of HSI have served as prominent leaders within their respective governments or companies. They've created factions, developed land, maintained a strong military, and served as a beacon for other factions. The Caste system allows each group to perform in the manner necessary to maintain thi status. Whatever the responsibilities of sentients of HSI, their focus becomes their mission. The drive which has set HSI above others becomes their purpose.

===Political Caste===
The political caste is the masters of obtaining material for use for HSI. This material can literally be anything from planets, DC uses, Raw Materials, ships, vehicles and anything else that could be proven useful. They are foremost diplomats and they are builders.

The political caste is responsible for being the frontline as a face for House Soyak-Ikron. They are the traders, they are the diplomats and of course they are also leaders.

'''Rank Structure'''
*L7 – Arch Lord
*L6 – Lord / Lady of [Name of Planet] – or – Duke / Duchess of [Principality of Planets]
*L5 – Marquis / Marquess
*L4 – Count / Countess
*L3 – Viscount
*L2 – Liaison of [Name of Faction]
*L1 – Retainer to [Name of HSI member]

===Military Caste===
The military caste is the masters of offensive and defensive tactics to obliterate a foe. These tactics are often employed for various reasons to include internal investigations, overt and covert operations and linear and non-linear warfare.

The military caste is responsible for being the frontline defense for House Soyak-Ikron. They are the warriors, the soldiers, the survivalists and of course leaders.

'''Rank Structure'''
*L7 – Lord Protectorate
*L6 – Protectorate of [name of planet] – or – Commander of [name of unit]

'''The Galactic Stock Exchange''' (commonly abbreviated to '''GSE''') is an organisation which provides sentient beings across the galaxy with reliable and current information about the companies which they are considering to invest in. GSE, which is an incorporated division of [[Veritas Press]], is built around trading and providing traders with a better experience, enabling them to make the most of their credits. The services offered by the Stock Exchange are plenty in number, and most notably include their trading nodes dotted around the galaxy. These, along with providing sentients with advice on which companies to invest their precious credits in, also provide a medium by which traders can buy and sell stocks at their current value.

Though stock trading is its primary focus, the Galactic Stock Exchange partakes in many other diverse aspects of business. From city construction to the building of huge space stations, the company employs a wide range of talented individuals. They also build casinos throughout the galaxy, where sentients can gamble their credits freely as an alternative to investing it wisely.

== History ==

On Day 144 of the Year 13, Mouse Carrelbee obtained a sinking company named [[Cirrus Colonies Incorporated]] and with several friends and allies, he was able to salvage it and build it into the Galactic Stock Exchange known today. Throughout the rest of the Year 13, it passed through the fingers of several leaders. Andy Longshot took the company after an incident with Ched Malfizzle, an old employee of GSE who decided to demand control of the company. After being denied, he made disappeared with a portfolio of company shares in hand. Immediately after Mr. Longshot’s departure back to Veritas Press, Allendi Solvan took the reins, though he didn’t stay for a long time either.

Finally as the Year 13 drew to a close, the company fell into the hands of [[Ardu Nillian]]. Mr. Nillian, a [[Muun]] businessman, led the company into [[Year 14]] and throughout his leadership it grew into a small corporation. Then on Day 125 of Year 14, Ardu retired from GSE, leaving it in the capable hands of Mr. [[Wolfgang von Schlavendorf]].

Still a small organisation, the GSE underwent substantial growth, with the system being revamped and several new projects being started. A focus on recruitment has left the Stock Exchange with a good base of members, and although still only a small group, they strive to become a major participant in the game of trading.

Jorus Serto replaced Wolfgang von Schlavendorf in late Year 14 temporarily and continued to grow the small company. Again the GSE experienced leadership change as Serto decided to resign from his position as Director for a career elsewhere, handing the company back over to former Director Wolfgang von Schlavendorf. Ambitious trader Curtner Seaton was promptly appointed as the new Auxiliary Director (2IC) and skilled researcher and analyst Solegot Solus was appointed as Project Manager (3IC). This triumvirate now leads the small company forward to grow and expand in markets both new and old.

== Services ==

=== Galactic Market Access ===

With its GMAP/T project, GSE offers Sentients the opportunity to access the galactic market and sell their wares. A small but growing amount of Trading 1, Trading 2 and Commerce Centre Space Stations spread across the galaxy allows the Stock Exchange to deliver this service.

=== Trading Station Building ===

The Galactic Stock Exchange offers the building of Trading 2 stations to the public, constructed by the highly skilled workmen within the GSE at a location of the client’s choosing. GSE also allows access to the Galactic Marker to the customer if the Trading 2 station is chosen to remain in GSE ownership. The customer receives full access.

=== Facility Building ===

The Stock Exchange also provides the construction services for facilities such as Casinos, Civic Centres, Ports, Crew Quarters, ATMs, Banks, Starports and Commerce Centres, which are built by GSE workmen at a location of the customer’s choosing.

=== The Stock Price Index ===

Commonly abbreviated to the SPI (Stock Price Index) or GSPI (Galactic Stock Price Index), the Stock Price Index is a service the GSE offers to investors. The GSE owns one share of each company on the SPI and uses it to track growth, analyse the company's situation in the market, and rate each company for stability based off of a number of factors. Daily reports are released and those who choose to pay a small fee are given greater access to in depth analysis.

==Description==
Muunilinst is the [[Muun]] homeworld and the headquarters of many important galactic corporations, including the [[InterGalactic Banking Clan]] (IGBC). It has a breathable atmosphere and a beautiful scenery, with large rolling plains, huge forests and long mountain lines. Though the large majority of the population is [[Muun]], some inmigrated [[Human]]s and Iotrans can be found, as well as many traders and businessmen belonging to many different races.

The planet developed quickly as a key trading and financial centre as the [[Muun]] became a spacefaring race and founded many large corporations. The [[Muun]] have colonised other worlds which they keep as purse worlds, like the [[Neimoidian]]s do, but Muunilinst is the only home they knew. The large Muun companies are based in enormous bustling cities with a very solemn architecture. Gleaming buildings and towers of marble, with dozens of pillars supporting them, shine against the warm sunlight the Muunilinst sun gives. These cities dot the plains here and there, and are the key centres of activity of the planet, which always has been full of starships travelling to and fro, carrying important businessmen. The largest buildings are the headquarters of important banking corporations, manufacturing companies and other businesses which employ thousands of Muun throughout the galaxy. Muunilinst was the site of several battles on land and space when it attempted to secede from the Old Republic, together with thousands of other systems, over two and a half decades ago. However, the [[Muun]] leaders of the separatist plot were captured and Muunilinst remained within the Republic.

The planet is nicknamed Moneylend, probably due to its wealth. [1]

Muunilinst is a lush world of forests, plains, and tall, jagged mountain peaks. It has a liquid iron core, a strong magnetic field, and was volcanically active throughout its known history. Its shallow oceans contain hundreds of "smokers", conical volcanoes built up by powerful vents in the crust. Many, though not all, of these smokers spew out superheated gases containing rich, pure precious metals from the planet's core. The very cones surrounding these vents are made up of layers of precious metals, mixed in with the mollusks, tube-worms, and bioluminescent ferns nurtured by the heat and water. It is these natural formations that provided the Muuns with the almost inexhaustible wealth to guarantee the credit of the entire galaxy. [1]

==Locations==
The greatest Muun city is Harnaidan, the headquarters of the IGBC. Built around a series of magnificent spires reaching four kilometers into the sky, Harnaidan has a population of more than fifty million. It is built above caverns containing vast, naturally heated lakes, enormous hot springs heated by magma vents. While the higher castes go about their daily business, lower castes swim through the rich waters, collecting mollusks and algae. [1]

A skyhook connects Harnaidan with High Port, an orbital city. The Golan space defense platforms defending Muunilinst can be seen from here, as well as a magnificent view of the planet glittering below. Mariunhus is a particularly rich city built around a smoker rich in gold, platinum, and other precious metals. Mariunhus is an example of a "vault-spire," a virtual mountain of wealth, kept safe and secure, which could be mined at a moment's notice to guarantee credit anywhere in the galaxy. Other smokers were known for industrial metals and were known as "mine-spires." [1]

==History==
The former subjects of the Rakata during the time of the Infinite Empire, the Muuns eventually achieved their independence. All throughout the [[Galactic Republic]] era, Muunilinst had a knack for funding potentially profitable enterprises throughout its sector, regardless of ethics or loyalty. It provided much of the funding for the nearby [[Human]] colony world of [[Sartinaynian]]. At some point in their history the Muuns also colonized the planet of [[Mygeeto]], which much like Muunilinst itself would become wealthy and an important financial center. [1]

Eventually, both Muunilinst and [[Sartinaynian]] came to be member worlds in the [[Galactic Republic]], and Muunilinst became one of the greatest financial powers in the galaxy. When the Republic established the [[Galactic Credit]], the InterGalactic Banking Clan was its guarantor and distributor. The corruption of the Banking Clan was largely unchecked as the Republic fell into decline, and with the looming threat of the breakdown of law and order, they invested in thousands of droids to discourage customers from defaulting on their loans.

}}

==Overview==
An old and successful race, the '''Muun''' have spent a great deal of their history ranked amongst some of the most financially successful cultures in existence. Hailing from the world of [[Muunilinst]], the richness of their world has been regarded by many as the impetus towards competition and greed which characterises the species.

==Biology and appearance==
Typically taller than the average human, the average Muun sticks out in a crowd of other species. Gaunt to the point of looking unhealthy to most humanoids, their long and spindly limbs, while matching the proportions of their elongated skulls, lend them an emaciated, severe appearance. Hairless and pale as much from genetics as from a racial aversion to the outdoors, the Muun focus their impressive intellects on matters of economics and mathematics, even the youngest being able to solve complex equations without the aid of computers.

Muuns also have tiny ears on the middle of the sides of their heads. In addition they have flat noses, and slim mouths. Muun voices often sound nasally, due to their small noses.<ref name="Sw Wikia" />

==Society and culture==
Governed by a strict, caste based meritocracy, the upper crust of Muun society is made up of those directly concerned with economics; be they lawyers, financiers, or diplomats arranging large trade agreements. Lower caste Muuns typically work in more menial but related positions, and strive to improve their family's standing by ensuring that their children do well on the tests administered via the education system. Those shown to be worthy of such an elevation in caste by the tests soon find themselves spirited away into high society, their low-born families proud of their success and often benefiting financially from the new status of their child.

So much of Muun society is centred around the acquisition and exercise of wealth that even their language has come to embody the simple positive and negatives of ledgers and balances. Almost exclusively composed of "um" and "eh" sounds, uttered in varying combinations of pitch and tone, their predominately binary language is largely devoid of imprecision. A language of economics and absolutes, the Muun often find themselves resorting to foreign, and less precise tongues when needing to discuss a matter that fails to fall neatly into one category or another. While naturally nasal sounding, due to the smallness of the Muun mouth and nose, even when speaking another language the harsh voices of most Muun are strangely melodic.

Seemingly at odds with this absolute precision of language however, is the Muun tendency towards amorality in their business dealings. Originally founding the InterGalactic Banking Clan during the early days of the [[Galactic Republic]], the Muun have worked as backers of standardised galactic currencies and have funded colonies, profitable enterprises, and even entire wars when it fit their plans. Willing to play both sides of a conflict off each other and lining their pockets all the time, the Muun have developed a reputation of being ruthless, yet almost honest in their ethical indifference. Those used to dealing with the race retain several teams of lawyers to assemble contracts, as the Muun tend to keep to the letter of the law rather than the original intent, and have no qualms against ruthlessly exploiting other races.

Muuns are extremely intelligent, and both greedy and cautious when it came to business ventures. They are lured to profitable and vulnerable economic situations or opportunities, yet took long thought before committing themselves to a business deal. Muuns' talent with money stemms from their extremely valuable mathematical and statistical skills. Muun children are known to calculate complex mathematical formulas as quickly as most adults of other species could.<ref name="Sw Wikia" />

In addition to being greedy and cautious, Muuns also deem themselves to be a reserved, mature species, capable of controlling their emotions, and deemed other species as immature, and felt no remorse in exploiting them, if need required them to do so. Muuns possess a drive to compete with other races and even among themselves, which also contributes to higher rates of economic output anywhere Muuns were located. Muuns also have a fundamental respect for fairness and justice, however, and regarded a contract as almost a sacred trust. Muuns are known to always follow the letter of the law, though often not the spirit.<ref name="Sw Wikia" />

==History==
Early in their history, the Muuns founded the [[InterGalactic Banking Clan]], which came to span not only the galaxy, but smaller satellite galaxies as well. Due to its immense mineral wealth, [[Muunilinst]] was used to give weight to the [[Galactic Credit]], making its importance in Galactic society almost incomparable to many, if not most Core Worlds.<ref name="Sw Wikia" />

Muuns, all throughout the time of the [[Galactic Republic]], had a knack for funding potentially profitable enterprises throughout its sector, regardless of ethics or loyalty. [[Muunilinst]] provided much of the funding for the nearby Human colony world of [[Sartinaynian]]. At some point in their history the Muuns also colonized the planet of [[Mygeeto]], which, much like Muunilinst itself, would become wealthy and and an important financial center.<ref name="Sw Wikia" />

Eventually, both Muunilinst and Sartinaynian came to be member worlds in the Galactic Republic, and Muunilinst became one of the greatest financial powers in the galaxy.

==History==
The beginnings of the first InterGalactic Banking Clan (IGBC) coincide with the development of [[Muun]] society. To truly understand the history of the IGBC, one must also study the history of the Muun. Life for the Muun has revolved around finance and mathematics for millennium, so much so that it is said that binary (1s and 0s) has found its way into everyday talk. Eventually, many banking families got together on [[Muunilinst]] to create what would become the most influential bank in the galaxy. Their base of operations was in the city of Harnaidan on Muunilinst giving themselves the name The Banking Clan, usually referred to as The Clan.

In time, Muunilinst joined Galactic society. From this time on, they were known as the InterGalactic Banking Clan. This change in name coincided with their owning and backing many colonies, space stations, ships and other property across the known galaxy. It was a time of stability for The Clan. As backers for the [[Galactic Credit]], the Clan ensured that there was little fluctuation in value making it the most widely used form of money, if not in the galaxy as a whole, at least in the core worlds.

On Year 14 Day 286, the [[Corporate Sector Authority]] purchased the InterGalactic Banking Clan from [[Corey Vildras]]. With this acquisition, Sven Wan was instated as leader and vowed to provide honest banking services to the galaxy.

[[Paparrin]] ascended to the CEO position of IGBC after the death of [[Sven Wan]] on Year 14 Day 359. Paparrin would try his best to make amends for the damage Sven caused, but with limited funds announced without further investment and dedicated administration it was likely the bank would close in the near future.<ref name="Sven's Death">[http://www.swcombine.com/forum/thread.php?thread=63019&page=1 Sven's Death]</ref>

During the reign of Emperor [[Piett]] circa Year 1, Adric Simms served as the Executive Officer of the [[Imperial Navy]]. He had a close working relationship with his superior, Grand Admiral Gorn [[Veynom]]. When Veynom left for the Unknown Regions, Simms briefly occupied the post Grand Admiral of the Imperial Navy before leaving the Empire to found the [[The Core|Core]] along with many other Imperials.

==Biography==
Adric Simms started his career in the [[Galactic Empire]] as a Tie Interceptor pilot in the Alpha Squadron under the command of Lt. Commander Callahan. The deadly Alpha Squadron assigned to the ISD Majestic under the command of Captain [[Mccarthur|McArthur]] who just stepped in to replace Admiral [[Vodo Bonias]] who overthrown Hiram Drayson as [[Emperor]]. Simms was one of the last non-clone to fly in a Tie squadron, in the new Vodo regime, all fighter pilots and army personnel were replaced by clones, they were cheaper to train and more obedient. Simms rose through the ranks quickly, when MacArthur became Commodore, he immediately promoted Simms to Captain of the ISD Majestic. A few months have past, Admiral [[O'Dwyer]] notice the efficienty of Captain Simms, he promoted him to the rank of Commodore. Now Simms had the command of the ISD Majestic, bulk freighter Relentless and Dreadnaught cruiser Dauntless as well as several carrack cruisers and Tie squadrons.

It was then that Commodore Simms criticized Admiral [[Veynom]]'s 3rd recon fleet, its heavy toll on the Imperial navy, requiring many ships that could be used elsewhere in the vast imperial territory. [[Veynom]] immediately took Simms critics personally along with several high ranking officers of the 3rd naval recon. Simms was impressed how efficient Admiral Veynom actually was, it was then that Gorn Veynom and Adric Simms became close friends.

Several months have past, Simms was promoted to Admiral by Emperor Vodo himself before he stepped down and gave command to Emperor [[Spytek]]. Under Emperor Spytek, the Empire was on the verge of a civil war. The Emperor was continuously criticized by several officers. Mainly by the force sensitive officers. Thoughts of Adris Simms himself:
''The Empire has two kind of imperials. You have the ones who refer themselves as the [[New Order]]. They are the military prone officers. The more conservative. They would rather chose tough diplomacy and show of strength by military numbers to deceive/control the enemy to accomplish their goals. Then there is the [[Sith Order]]. These are the force sensitive and their supporters who believe that the approach of a "kneel or die" attitude is very efficient. To attack without hesitation strong and swiftly, they manipulate opponents on all levels until they get what they want. The Sith are never satisfied, the more power they get, they still hunger for more...Simms' attitude changed thought the years, in his old age, he now sees that a little of both is needed for the Empire to thrive...a dark Sith Empire always collapses on its own... '' (( TO BE CONTINUED ))

Adric Simms was also known to have a problem with non humans having a part in the Empire. According to him alien species and non humans in general should see their role and functions limited to rugs, garbage collectors, toilet cleaners and so on. He even lobbied for ranked aliens to have their ranks and positions removed from the Galactic Empire or at the very least altered to become Imperial assassins or assigned to companies or groups aligned or controlled by the Galactic Empire.

*** To be edited *** Not much is known about Adric Simms except that he is force-sensitive, well trained, and adept of the Dark Side under the alias of Dark Knyte. The following abstract has been written by him during his training.

{{quote
|quote = The Imperial dark forces are anew with its war machine, the naval and ground forces. I shall walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume those who dwell in the outer rims. Behold, the walls amongst the heavens shall not contain us, and the ones who resist, shall be engulfed in the flood of conflict, all hope shall be lost onto them. I shall bring war upon the heavens, and they who resist will be forced to fall back, back to the gates of hell. Imperial Order shall flourish among the undiscovered worlds, and I will take peace from all, unleashing great destruction amongst the stars, I will administer the Emperor's will, and the fires of hell shall devour all. I shall mete out my vengeance upon all who resist, their blood will run in a great torrent.

During his duty of Imperial Navy XO, Fleet Admiral Simms was directly responsible of the glorious [[3rd Recon & Strike Fleet]].

Veynom: Undigging

I'm a little confused by all this. Can we get some sort of message from
Spytek confirming that he is no longer Emperor?

At the point that it is confirmed that the switch has actually taken place,
I will give you a full briefing on Covert Ops over the past year (when I
had it) as well as my current role, and my prior history with the Empire. I
do understand that my role may change under new leadership, but I assure
you I was the most loyal Imperial under the old system, and will continue
to be under the new system.

When I joined the Empire over a year ago, it wasn't because I couldn't get
into another faction first. It was because I wanted to dominate the galaxy
and crush our collective opposition. It sounds like now I'll finally get a
chance. Its fun to be the tax collector when you have to tax by force...

'''Spytek''' was the fourth recorded [[Emperor|Emperor of the Galaxy]] ([[Year -1|Year -1 Day 271]] — [[Year 0|Year 0 Day 122]]). He was a personal favorite of emperor [[Suntzu]] on whose accession Spytek was appointed a high-ranking member of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Surviving records about Spytek, like many of the early emperors, are scarce. During his brief reign, Spytek struggled to maintain his position against numerous conspiracies to overthrow him. He was ultimately forced to abdicate on Year 0 Day 122 by a vocal cadre of Imperial officers led by Admiral [[Piett]].

==Biography==
===Rise to Power===
General [[Balseraph]], the leader of the [[Imperial Army]], accused Moff [[Vodo Bonias]] of forcing the current emperor, Suntzu, to instate policies that favored the Imperial Navy. Balseraph soon gained the support of former Emperor [[Hiram Drayson|Drayson]] and created the [[Order of Darkness]]. This latter collective claimed that Suntzu was a puppet of [[Vodo Bonias]]. As these beliefs gained prevalence, Suntzu was viewed as weak by his subjects and forced to abdicate.

There is some disagreement about which individual then became [[Emperor]]. The current ''Imperial History'' records [[Vodo Bonias]] as preceding [[Suntzu]]; however, the ''Annals of the Emperors'' and the ''Imperial Core War Library'' record Vodo as succeeding him. As such, the question remains whether [[Vodo Bonias]] or Spytek were chosen as [[Suntzu]]'s successor.

===Turbulent Reign===
In contrast to his favorable depiction in later rewritten Imperial history, Spytek was considered by his contemporary underlings to be the most incompetent emperor in the history of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Under his rule, Spytek permitted an atmosphere of intrigue and suspicion to be cultivated within the Empire. Soon, mutiny after mutiny occurred, and Spytek was deemed to be an ineffectual leader. Many high-ranking officers defected to the Rebel Alliance. Several officers, such as Grand Admiral Hobbes, became highly influential in the rapid growth of the tight-knit Alliance. Spytek's "policy of rapprochement" was particularly unpopular among high-ranking Imperial officers and was harshly criticized by [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Gorn Veynom]].<ref>[http://holocron.swcombine.com/wiki/Gorn_Veynom Holocron Article: Gorn Veynom]</ref>

In his defense, Spytek later claimed that, during his one month of leadership, he refused to allow the [[Galactic Empire|Empire]] to become "top heavy" and refused to promote personnel who were unqualified for higher positions.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20001210101900/www.swcombine.com/HTML/interviews.shtml?show=newinterview-June-2000 Sim News - Interviews - Spytek] (Archived)</ref>

===Downfall===
Angry over the weakness and mistakes of [[Emperor]] Spytek, [[Rank|Admiral]] [[Piett]] urged officers in the Imperial Navy to overthrow him. Their revolt was successful. When Spytek stepped down as [[Emperor]], a host of would-be successors appeared such as [[Gorn Veynom]]<ref>[http://holocron.swcombine.com/wiki/Farewell_of_Emperor_Spytek Holocron Article: Farewell of Emperor Spytek]</ref>, Piett, and [[Trey Connel]] who was leader of the [[Imperial Army]]. As it was feared that a prolonged civil war would harm the Empire, [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] decided to use his superior military strength to end the civil war before it began.

After Spytek abdicated on [[Year 0|Year 0 Day 122]] and Piett ascended the [[Galactic Empire|Imperial throne]], Spytek departed the [[Galactic Empire]] and joined [[Black Sun]] to serve as one of personal advisers to Princess [[Gabriella Storm]].

===Resignation Speech===
This speech was broadcast through the Empire on Year 0 Day 122 upon resignation of Emperor Spytek:

''~Your holovid lights up and the Emperor's personal insignia lights up. The screens fades to show the Emperor sitting at his desk, all certificates of every rank he's held on the back wall. He is in full dress uniform, the newly designed Emperor's insignia shining brightly on his chest. He looks at the screen...but something does not seem right.~''

<blockquote>"Members of the high command, sector commanders, soldiers, friends, and citizens. It is with great regret and sadness that I address you today. The powers that be in this galaxy, powers stronger and more powerful than even myself, have requested that I resign as your emperor. 

I am proud to have built this Empire from scraps into a paragon of unparalleled strength, justice, rule, and order. I had order and discipline unmatched in any other government. Apparently, there is no reason for the rebels to fight us, but who is to say that my word alone to recklessly open fire upon innocent rebel ships wouldn't have sparked the war this was supposed to be? At any rate, I must tell you that it has also been suggested that Veynom take command of the Empire. I will not argue. Thank you all very much, and good luck. I cannot stay in this Empire any longer."</blockquote>

''~Emperor Spytek stands at his desk, removes his insignia from his chest, and places it on his desk. He turns to look back at his awards from emperors Drayson, Suntzu, and Vodo. He looks at your screen, nods appreciatively, and walks away. Before your screen goes black, the former Emperor walks to his desk, picks up his insignia, looks at it, and puts it in his pocket. He turns and walks away as your screen goes black. Emperor Spytek's personal logo is quickly replaced by a generic Imperial symbol.~''

===Aftermath===
Eventually both Veynom and Connel accepted Piett as Emperor. Connel retained his position as Army CO, while Veynom succeeded Piett as supreme commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. For a year the Empire flourished under the reign of Emperor Piett. The Imperial Navy under Grand Admiral Veynom rose in strength and became an efficient weapon in the service of the Emperor.

Immediately following his abdication, Spytek was regarded as the most incompetent of the early emperors. His infamy was possibly exaggerated by [[Emperor]] [[Piett]] and his supporters. In later years, Imperial historians under [[Emperor]] [[Vodo Bonias|Vodo]] would depict Spytek in a more favorable light.

As it was feared that a prolonged civil war would harm the Empire, [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] decided to use his superior military strength to end the civil war before it began.

After Spytek abdicated on [[Year 0|Year 0 Day 122]] and Piett ascended the [[Galactic Empire|Imperial throne]], Spytek departed the [[Galactic Empire]] and joined [[Black Sun]] to serve as one of personal advisers to Princess [[Gabriella Storm]].

===Resignation Speech===
This speech was broadcast through the Empire on Year 0 Day 122 upon resignation of Emperor Spytek:

''~Your holovid lights up and the Emperor's personal insignia lights up. The screens fades to show the Emperor sitting at his desk, all certificates of every rank he's held on the back wall. He is in full dress uniform, the newly designed Emperor's insignia shining brightly on his chest. He looks at the screen...but something does not seem right.~''

<blockquote>"Members of the high command, sector commanders, soldiers, friends, and citizens. It is with great regret and sadness that I address you today. The powers that be in this galaxy, powers stronger and more powerful than even myself, have requested that I resign as your emperor. 

I am proud to have built this Empire from scraps into a paragon of unparalleled strength, justice, rule, and order. I had order and discipline unmatched in any other government. Apparently, there is no reason for the rebels to fight us, but who is to say that my word alone to recklessly open fire upon innocent rebel ships wouldn't have sparked the war this was supposed to be? At any rate, I must tell you that it has also been suggested that Veynom take command of the Empire. I will not argue. Thank you all very much, and good luck. I cannot stay in this Empire any longer."</blockquote>

''~Emperor Spytek stands at his desk, removes his insignia from his chest, and places it on his desk. He turns to look back at his awards from emperors Drayson, Suntzu, and Vodo. He looks at your screen, nods appreciatively, and walks away. Before your screen goes black, the former Emperor walks to his desk, picks up his insignia, looks at it, and puts it in his pocket. He turns and walks away as your screen goes black. Emperor Spytek's personal logo is quickly replaced by a generic Imperial symbol.~''

===Aftermath===
Eventually both Veynom and Connel accepted Piett as Emperor. Connel retained his position as Army CO, while Veynom succeeded Piett as supreme commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. For a year the Empire flourished under the reign of Emperor Piett. The Imperial Navy under Grand Admiral Veynom rose in strength and became an efficient weapon in the service of the Emperor.

Immediately following his abdication, Spytek was regarded as the most incompetent of the early emperors. His infamy was possibly exaggerated by [[Emperor]] [[Piett]] and his supporters. In later years, Imperial historians under [[Emperor]] [[Vodo Bonias|Vodo]] would depict Spytek in a more favorable light.

Farewell of Emperor Spytek

2013-11-20T16:47:48Z

Veynom: This was not lost.

''~~Your holovid lights up and the Emperor's personal insignia lights up. The
screens fades to show the Emperor sitting at his desk, all certificates of
every rank he's held on the back wall. He is in full dress uniform, the
newly designed Emperor's insignia shining brightly on his chest. He looks at
the screen...but something does not seem right~~''

Members of the high command, Sector commanders, soldiers, friends, and
citizens. It is with great regret and sadness that I address you today. The
powers that be in this galaxy (sim), powers stronger and more powerful than
even myself, have requested that I resign my position as your Emperor.

I am proud to have built this Empire from the scraps of the SWSIM game, and
presented a faction of unparalleled strength, justice, rule, and order.
Apparently, there is no reason for the Rebels to need to fight us. Though I
cannot see how a game will or will not proceed until it has started, I will
say that this is part of my plan. I had order and discipline unmatched in
any other faction. When the game started, who's to say that my word alone to
recklessly and unprovoked open fire upon "innocent" rebel ships wouldn't have
sparked the war this was supposed to be?

At any rate, I must tell you that it has also been "suggested" the [[Veynom]]
take command of the Empire. I will not argue with the sim master. Thank you
all very much, and good luck. I cannot stay in this Empire any longer.

''~Emperor [[Spytek]] stands at his desk, removes his insignia from his chest, and
places it on his desk. He turns to look back at his awards from Emperor's
[[Drayson]], [[Suntzu]], and [[Vodo]]. He looks at your screen, nods appreciatively, and
walks away. Before your screen goes black, the former Emperor walks to his
desk, picks up his insignia, looks at it, and puts it in his pocket. He
turns and walks away as your screen goes black. Emperor Spytek's personal
logo is quickly replaced by a generic Imperial symbol.~''

Inaugural Address of Emperor Spytek

Veynom: adding some links.

Address to the members of the [[Galactic Empire]] by Emperor [[Spytek]]

From: Spytek [mail address edited] 
Subject: [swsim-empire] Emperor's Address 
Date: Y -1 Y D 271 
To: swsim-empire@swsim.com

~The Holovid turns itself on and comes to life. Though dusty, you can still
see the image of Emperor Spytek. He sits in his all-too-familiar office, with
the now defunct, yet still impressive seals of the Supreme Commander of the
Imperial Army; Minister Of Defense; and Chief Of Imperial Operations. The
latest addition is the Seal Of The Emperor Of The Galactic Empire, shining
brightly under a spotlamp.~

Imperial citizens:

As you know, I have been given command of our Empire. With my reign comes a
new dawn in the Galactic Empire. I have been, and continue to restructure the
functions of each Imperial office. I have named new directors and commanding
officers, and have helped those commanders focus on their responsibilities to
the Empire, to Me, and to all of you.

After careful review of our military command structure, I have determined that
we are not currently "top heavy", but any further promotions to Admiral or
General would mean we have an Empire full of people trying to run the show.
Therefore, NO PROMOTIONS TO THE RANK OF COMMODORE OR HIGHER, OR BRIGADIER
GENERAL OR HIGHER will be allowed without my approval. So don't bother
harassing the commanding officers for promotions to the upper levels, because
I will decide that issue.

I would like to take this opportunity to review our high command staff for
you.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome General Hull. The General

many of you may recognize that medallion on his uniform as being a Rebellion
Service Award, you should realize that I have allowed him to display it as a
symbol to his prior service. He has also been awarded the Imperial
Meritorious Service Award.

Our weapons and ship supply should be well stocked when the sim comes back
online, and I am fully committed to acquiring new and improved technology
through our Research and Development Office.

Colonel Swan has assured me that the assignment procedure for newcomers should be streamlined and ready soon.

Finally, many of you are aware that I am open to suggestions and comments.
However, I do require (as you should all know by now) a certain amount of
etiquette. The standing orders on those issues are as follows:

When speaking with commanding officers, you will address them as such.

The merit/demerit policy presented to me has been tentatively approved. High Command Staff should work together and present me
with a final system for approval. Remember, this IS the Empire, not a picnic.

Suggestions and comments should be sent to your commanding officer who will,
at their discretion, forward it to me. This way, I can see who the original
author is and who the commanding officer is. If you choose to send me a
comment or suggestion, you do so at your own risk. Do not expect a reply
unless I feel the need to reply.

AS ALWAYS, I WILL NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS FOR SHIPS OR EQUIPMENT UNLESS THE
REQUEST COMES FROM A MEMBER OF THE HIGH COMMAND.

Hail!

Emperor Spytek

Dark Princess '''Gabriella Storm''' was a [[Human|Kaalan]] [[:Category:Females|noblewoman]] and the first recorded leader of the [[Black Sun|Black Sun crime syndicate]] in [[Year 1]].<ref name="HoloNews Interview"/> A galactic personality, she later came to epitomize the ruthless politics and corruption alleged to be characteristic of Black Sun. Very little in fact is known of Princess Storm's criminal activities, and the extent of her complicity in the political machinations of her organization is unclear.

In Year 5, [[Emperor]] [[Vodo Bonias]] of the [[Galactic Empire]] installed Storm as ruler of the [[New Anzat Order]] (later known as the [[Anzatan Commonwealth]]). She came to be blamed for the excessive persecutions carried out under her rule. For this reason, [[Anzat]]i historians characterize Storm as an autocrat who brutally subjugated the Anzati populace and executed all those who opposed her reign. However, she was disgraced when implicated in an [[Eidola]]n plot that resulted in the dissolution of an Imperial medical corporation.

==Biography==
Born and educated on the planet of Kaala in the [[Corporate Sector]], Princess Gabriella Storm desired a career in the [[Galactic Empire]], but later was recruited into Black Sun. Storm is perhaps most remembered for her lengthy tenure as leader of [[Black Sun]], a powerful crime syndicate which exerted considerable influence in the various galactic governments. Circa [[Year 1]], the organization was infamous for its involvement in backroom politics and illegal activities, such as piracy and smuggling.

During this time, Princess Storm had a close working relationship with [[Zee Wolf the Elder]],<ref name="Zee Wolf">[[Zee Wolf the Elder|Holocron Article: Zee Wolf]]</ref> the Supreme Commander of the [[Rebel Alliance]].<ref>[[Supreme Commander|Holocron Article: Rebel Alliance]]</ref> Soon, trade flourished between the Rebels and Black Sun.<ref name="Zee Wolf"/> Despite Black Sun's clandestine trading with the Rebel Alliance, Storm was also a close associate of the upper echelons of the [[Galactic Empire]]; in particular, Storm was an unwavering friend of [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]]. This rapport was illustrated when Spytek - overthrown from the Galactic Empire - and joined Black Sun as a personal adviser to Storm, soon joined also by Lady [[Dyvel]].

Princess Storm was always a sharp expert at public relations and her friendship toward Spytek did not prevent her to also establish relationships with other proeminent figures of the Galactic Empire. It has been established for example that she hosted Admiral [[Gorn Veynom]] allowing him to heal and recover after the injuries he underwent during the battle following [[Spytek#Downfall|Spytek's Downfall]]. Rumours spread about a very close relationship between the Admiral and the Princess but no evidence survived until today.

Throughout the formative years of Black Sun, Princess Storm was at odds with a variety of successive collectives led by [[Friar Blues]] such as the [[Moon Bandits]], the [[Screaming Banshees]] and the [[JUGANOTH Mining Corporation]]. The exact cause of these feuds is unknown.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021210035028/http://juganoth.monolith3d.com/history.php Juganoth Mining Corporation - History] (Archived)</ref>

When the [[Imperial Core]] was formed on Year 1 Day 214, Storm became a public ally of the organization. She purportedly assisted [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]] and Lieutenant General [[Jennifer Dreighton]] in its creation.

On Year 1 Day 318, Storm stepped down as leader of Black Sun and joined the Imperial Core. According to legend, Storm had grown bored with her continuing success at Black Sun. She faked her death in order to escape and join [[The Core]]. Upon learning of her membership in The Core, her loyal friends in Black Sun chose to follow her and joined The Core as well. In her wake, Dark Prince [[Blood]]<ref name="Old Black Sun History"/> was appointed the interim ruler of Black Sun.<ref name="Old Black Sun History">[http://web.archive.org/web/20060220170740/swc-blacksun.com/history.php Black Sun - History] (Archived)</ref> Blood did his best to maintain peace and stability until a new leader could emerge. After a long deliberation by the high command, [[Keevan Colton]] was chosen as the new Dark Prince of Black Sun. Keevan gradually stabilized the high command and rebuilt the organization.

For several years, Storm remained a prominent member of the Imperial Core. She used her considerable influence to expand the organization, and some believe the organization would have perished without her patronage. When the Imperial Core merged with the [[Sith Order]] and formed the [[Dark Empire]], Storm was appointed the Minister of State.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020622173924/www.raptorpirates.com/hutt/news.htm Hutt Council - News] (Archived)</ref> However, she had become disillusioned and reportedly feuded with [[Vodo Bonias]], the leader of the Dark Empire. Later, Storm would begin publicly denouncing him.<ref name="HoloNews Interview">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010802182126/http://www.holonews.f2s.com/interviews/gabriellastorm.shtml HoloNews - Interview with Gabriella Storm] (Archived)</ref>

On Year 3 Day 218 Princess Storm defected from the Dark Empire to the Galactic Empire. Many observers believed her defection was one of the reasons why, a week later, the Dark Empire and the Galactic Empire declared a truce. Several months later, on Year 3 Day 290, a merger was announced between the Dark Empire and the Galactic Empire. Throughout this chaotic period and the later crisis in which [[Emperor]] [[Charon]] was deposed as ruler of the Galactic Empire, Storm held key positions in the Imperial High Command and was greatly respected.
[[Image:Gabriella Storm Seal.jpg|thumb|right|Seal]]
On Year 5 Day 329, Emperor Vodo Bonias brokered a deal with [[Admiral]] [[Enzo Delaere]] to install Princess Storm as leader of [[New Anzat Order]]. Delaere agreed to the Faustian pact and his staff turned the government over to the Galactic Empire. Once Storm was seated on the throne of [[Anzat]], she allegedly executed all those who opposed her reign. These actions sparked a rebellion and Storm's reign over the Anzati people was soon widely disdained throughout the galaxy.

Storm was further disgraced when implicated in an [[Eidola]]n plot that resulted in the dissolution of an Imperial medical corporation. On Year 5 Day 356, Storm was replaced as leader of the New Anzat Order by [[Moff]] [[Vlademar von Ismay]], the youngest legitimate son of the late [[Victor von Ismay]].

'''Ivy Jade''' was an elite Imperial Naval officer who started as simple recruit inside the [[Imperial Navy]]. Rumors pretend she once was an [[Emperor Hand]] but despite some evident strong relations with high ranked Naval Officers, nothing could ever be proven.

=Biography=

==Early life==
Born on the planet [[Corinth]] in the [[Septron]] system, Ivy was the youngest daughter of Seth and Rose Jade. Her father Seth was a commander in the [[Imperial Navy]] and had served most of his time away from her home, seeing them only briefly from the holo-phone when he called to check on them once or twice every few months. Her mother was a courtier and had raised her daughters to follow in her footsteps and become hand women to the wealthy Imperial men of their planet. Ivy on many occasions had gone to balls and dinners with her mother, finding herself in the watchful eye of many young men there, but she was not the only girl in the family and was often turned away in turn for her older sister Mara. Mara was as beautiful but not half as cunning as Ivy and had managed to become quite successful in her work, she became the Emperors Hand when he came to Corinth on a mission seeking out the last of the [[Jedi]]. Ivy had been deeply jealous of Mara for quite sometime but soon lost her anger for her when she left Corinth with the Emperor. After Mara left, Ivy was left to care for her mother and did so for several years after until Corinth was attacked by a band of unknown reptilian warriors.

==Battle on Corinth==
The battle on Corinth was a very drastic one. Homes were ransacked and burned to the ground, women and children were taken away by the ship load and many died when they refused to leave their homes. Ivy’s mother was one of them. She had pledged her love for her family and home and swore she would never leave them under the force of the reptiles. The creatures had come to her home late one evening and Ivy had watched in horror as her mother was shot dead by a one of the creatures. Terrified and angered Ivy emerged from her room and grabbing a knife from the kitchen table, proceeded in killing the two reptiles whom had killed her mother. After the event Ivy fled into the forests of Corinth and disappeared…no one heard from Ivy until 10 years after the battle.

==The Lost Years==
For those past 10 years Ivy had hidden herself away in the deep expanses of the Corinth forests. Training herself in the art of the dagger and the skills of the blaster. Learning from what her father had told her of his skills and from those who wandered into her camp mistakenly, only to their detriment. Ivy emerged from the forest only upon hearing of her father’s death, in battle against the Rebellion and her sisters death on Coruscant. When she emerged from hiding no one knew who she was, no one knew of her past, and no one knew of her future. Now a trained warrior (skilled in the dagger and with a blaster) and a woman of great mystery and beauty, Ivy Jade had returned. After leaving Corinth Ivy left for a new place. Now 21 years of age, she was known to only those she had allowed to live and feared by many others, Ivy Jade was back.

==Off Planet==
After scavenging the remains of her home, Ivy managed to get to the dockyards of Corinth and after persuading the dock owner she managed to buy her own ship, with her mother’s savings. The ship is an elegant fighter craft, so named “Poisons Dart”. Ivy’s first destination was the planet [[Yavin VI]]. She had heard of a small faction of people who had escaped during the Corinth battle and had set up there. When she arrived, a local man told her of a base on one of the moons and Ivy set out soon after for it.

When she arrived she did indeed find the base and proceeded to the local tavern to meet the locals. Upon arriving the first being to speak to her was the bartender, a smooth and dashing man. Seeming to be in his early 20’s with short dark hair and piercing eyes. Ivy walked over to the bar and sat down on one of the free stools. She ordered Rum and coke, the only drink she had ever seen her father drink and thus followed in suit to him. Ivy soon took a liking to the drink though and now orders it whenever she goes to the tavern. The Bartender never took his eyes off Ivy as he went about preparing the drink. Ivy could not help but be astounded as she watched him, reminding her very much of the bartender from Cocktail as he tossed about the bottles and glass effortlessly. After serving Ivy her drink the young man introduced himself as Ronin Greeg.

The two talked on into the evening, just as though they had been friends since childhood. Ronin told Ivy of his skills in technology and of his even greater skill with a blaster. Ivy had never met a more mysterious and striking man as Ronin and she soon found herself returning to the tavern every night, just to see him. One night when she stopped in as usual, there was a group of men there whom Ivy had never seen before. Ronin had warned Ivy of the troops and had told her to stay away from them if she could. Ivy agreed and took a seat at the bar, ordering the usual and occasionally pausing from her drink to glance cautiously towards the men. At one point in the evening one of the men approached Ivy. He told her of the glorious life she could have if she joined his side, and of the power he held among his men, but to no avail. Ivy had no intention of ever joining the trooper and so told him this. The man however became angered and grabbed Ivy around the waist, forcing a knife to her throat. Ivy, now very angry and determined to be rid of the vermin behind her, quickly un-sheathed her dagger from her wrist holster and thrust it backward into his chest. The man stumbled a moment and then fell to the ground, astounded at the move of his hostage, then died. His friends now very angry with this drew their blasters and began shooting at anyone in sight. A battle had begun. Ivy jumped over the bar easily and hid there a moment next to Ronin. “Do you always attract this much excitement?” Ronin jested as he drew his own blaster and took aim over the counter. He had been right when telling Ivy of his mastery of the weapon, for every bolt that left his blaster hit squarely into one of the troops who had caused the ruckus. “Well I suppose so.” laughed Ivy as she watched the battle come to a stop.

Some time later, Ivy and Ronin traveled to a nearby system, for what Ronin had originally called a vacation. Later however Ivy found out the truth…the hard way. Upon reaching the planet she and Ronin headed out for the governmental palaces. Ronin had told Ivy to wait for him in the spacious lobby hall and so she did. Minutes later alarms began to wail and the lights went out, confused and disoriented Ivy headed towards the stair well, only to come under blaster fire, as Ronin ran down the steps, followed by palace guards. “May I ask what the intention of your visit really was?” yelled Ivy as Ronin grabbed her hand and they raced out of the lobby hall and across the palace yard. “Well, it’s a long story, but I’ll tell you it later…” he replied as they crossed the palace gates and jumped into a taxi and sped off. Later that evening Ronin told Ivy of the group he was a member of and how the whole trip had been arranged to infiltrate the palace and get information. Ivy, although slightly mad at Ronin for not telling her of this before, decided to join the band and from that point on was now posing as the wife of Ronin, to undergo secret infiltration and other jobs.

==Imperial career==
Ivy joined the Imperial Navy shortly before Year 0 when she came in contact with an officer of the Imperial Navy named [[Gunther von Esling]]. Ivy had liked Gunther since she first saw him, but not for his looks, but for his mind. He was a very cunning man and was very ingenious. He was a pilot and had his own fleet under the Imperial forces. Ivy set in well with her new friend and soon came to meet other Imperial men as well, eventually leading her to meet a certain Commodore [[Veynom]]. He as well as some of her other Imperial friends have since then persuaded her to join the [[3rd Recon]] fleet where she served as Loki 5 under Lieutenant [[Ma'karr Quaxo]].

Veynom: /* Fleets */ Adding old information about structure

{{quote
|quote= Honor. Duty. Loyalty. The calling cards of the Imperial Navy.
|person = [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Angelus Goth|Goth]]
}}
[[File:Imperial Navy Emblem.png|150px|right]]
The '''Imperial Navy''', also known as the '''Imperial Starfleet''', '''Imperial Fleet''', '''Imperial Battlefleet''', or '''Imperial Space Service''', is the naval branch of the [[Imperial Military]]. It fields thousands of warships and [[Starfighter|fighters]], and fuelled by its numerous staff of dedicated [[Imperial Officers|officers]] and loyal [[Imperial Fighter Pilot|pilots]], has long been the harbinger of peace and justice throughout the [[galaxy]].
The mainstays of its [[fleets]] - the [[Imperial Star Destroyer I|Star Destroyer]] and [[Super Star Destroyer]] [[capital ships]] and the [[TIE Series|TIE fighter series]] of [[starfighters]] - became some of the most visible symbols of [[Imperial]] rule to the [[galaxy]]'s civilian populace.

==Introduction==
The Navy has grown enormously since the decline of the [[Old Republic]], but its mission has largely stayed the same: to free the system space of member worlds from hazards to profitable commerce, to assure the safety of member worlds from attack from outside forces, and to bolster the planetary governments in times of crisis. The Imperial Navy works closely with the [[Imperial Army|Army]] performing orbital bombardments, transporting major ground force deployments, and supporting them with space and aerial support.

The Imperial Navy was formed from the Republic Navy around [http://rules.swcombine.com/?Timeframe#Combine_Galactic_Time Year -4] during the rise of the Empire. A reorganized command structure oversaw the rapid expansion of the fleet that had begun during the [[Clone Wars]]. Some innovations were brought during this time, as the creation of the [[Grand Admiral]] rank. The Imperial Navy conducts itself by the [[Imperial Codex]] and the regulations written in the Navy Manual.

==Naval Command==
Naval Command, commonly abbreviated to NCOMD and previously known as Naval High Command (NHC), is the leading body of the Imperial Navy. The Naval [[Commanding Officer]] is the highest level position within the group (although not necessarily the highest ranking officer), and typically reports to and sits on the [[Imperial High Command]].

===Current NCOMD===

* [[Lord Admiral]] [[Senki Blackrain]] (Navy [[Commanding Officer]])
* [[Vice Admiral]] [[OVERMIND]] (Navy [[Executive Officer]])

===Former NCOMD Members===
* [[Hack Skice]]
* [[Adar Machkhit]]
* [[Endorph Morbelis]]
* [[Ramos Rob]]

* [[Zachary Savk]]
* [[Grand Admiral]] [[SunTzu]] ''(Year -4)''
* [[Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] ''(Year 0)''
* [[Grand Admiral]] [[Gorn Veynom]] ''(Year 1 to Year 2)''
* [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]] ''(Year 2)''
* [[Grand Admiral]] [[Cherokee]] ''(Year 2)''
* [[Lord Admiral]] [[IWAssassin]] ''(Year 2)''
* [[Lord Admiral]] [[Tj]] ''(Year 2 to Year 3)''
* [[Vice Admiral]] [[OVERMIND]] ''(Year 3)''
* [[Grand Admiral]] [[Black Lodge]] ''(Year 4 to Year 5)''
* [[Admiral]] [[Gunther von Esling]] ''(Year 5)''
* [[Lord Admiral]] [[Tj]] ''(Year 5)''
* [[Admiral]] [[Zerk]] ''(Year 5)''
* [[Vice Admiral]] [[Angelus Goth]] ''(Year 6)''
* [[Admiral]] [[Crog]] ''(Year 6 to Year 7)''
* [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Samurai]] ''(Year 7)''
* [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Slicer]] ''(Year 7 to Year 9)''

* [[Vice Admiral]] [[Axe Vulcan]] ''(Year 10 to Year 11)''
* [[Lord Admiral]] [[Senki Blackrain]] ''(Year 11 - Present)''

===Changes in Civilian Command Structure===
Planetary governments had the right to call upon the Navy of the [[Old Republic]] in emergencies.
Since the disbanding of the Senate, the Navy is no longer required to respond to requests from planetary governments, including the planetary governors appointed by the Empire. Under new doctrine, individual planets are too insignificant to allow them direct control over an asset as important as the Imperial Navy, even for short periods of time.

Civilian orders are now transmitted at the level of the Sector Group, from regional [[Moffs]], [[Grand Moff]], or the [[Emperor]] himself, and always with the knowledge of [[Naval Command]]. Smaller units are to receive their orders only from officers in the proper chain of command. This is a definite change from the Republican Navy, when Senators or other politically powerful beings could directly commandeer naval vessels — sometimes entire squadrons — for missions without having the order come down through the chain of command.

This change has greatly boosted the morale of naval personnel. The [[Imperial Officers|officers]] now know that the strategy is being set at a level of authority which is best suited for seeing the whole picture. Naval commanders have the authority and responsibility to execute their orders in the best manner possible, and they know they shall be free from political interference while doing so.

==Pilots==
[[Imperial Fighter Pilots|Imperial pilots]] are the mainstay of the Imperial Navy. They are the necessary element in the military branch charged with protecting the space lanes from [[pirates]], [[smugglers]], alien invaders, and [[Rebels]].
The top pilots in the [[galaxy]] are found in the Imperial Navy. These [[Imperial Fighter Pilots|pilots]], following the glorious and time-honored allure established during the Republic, attend the premier academies throughout the [[Empire]]. Within these fine institutions, the [[Empire]] teaches these men duty and promotes the idea of maintaining order, as opposed to defending against aggression.
Each candidate for admission into the rigorous TIE training program must undergo a strenuous screening and testing process. After all, they are being prepared to fly the best [[starfighters]] the [[Empire]] has to offer.

==Fleets & Structure==
A [[fleet]] is designated as a "sector resource," which means it should be available for action anywhere within the sector. However, current [[fleets]] act both in defensive and offensive missions, protecting their home sector but also hunting the enemy anywhere in the [[galaxy]]. Further information is classified.

Over time, the Imperial Navy has evolved tremendously and developed several organisational structures in order to achieve the tasks and missions assigned to her.

===Before Year 0===
Few documents or archives survived from that era but the following official document describes that before Year 0, meaning under the rules of Emperor [[Suntzu]] then [[Vodo Bonias]], the Imperial Navy was composed of three fleets and three Reconnaissance & Strike fleets. All six fleets reported directly to the Grand Admiral of the Navy.

Four additional squadrons also existed but were not attached to any of these fleets and had specific missions like protecting the Emperor.

[[Image:ImperialNavyStructure_BeforeY0.jpg]]

===Year 0===
A change in the Imperial strategy lead by Emperor [[Spytek]] lead to a complete restructuring of the Navy. Grand Admiral [[Piett]] dissolved the Reconnaissance Strike fleets and instead created four fleets, one for each quadrant of the galaxy. Is it during that reorganization that the glorious [[3rd Recon & Strike Fleet]] was dissolved and became the [[Second Assault Fleet|2nd Fleet]].

The four independent squadrons - Gold, Gamma, Sword, and Omega - were merged into the Imperial Command Fleet whose primary role was escorting the Emperor.

===Year 1===
This era is often referred to as the Golden Age of the Imperial Navy. With the unstoppable growth of the Empire's territories and sphere of influence, the need for a powerful Navy raised again. Additional fleets were created by Grand Admiral [[Veynom]]. Each controlled sector was assigned a Sector Fleet. The [[3rd Recon & Strike Fleet]] was resurrected to patrol the uncontrolled regions. The [[Naval Command Fleet]] was created to protect [[Kuat]], the headquarters of the Imperial Navy at that time.

===Year 2===

Second Assault Fleet

2013-11-02T22:17:49Z

Veynom: /* See Also */

The '''Second Assault Fleet''' (2AF) was one of the most notable fleets in the [[Imperial Navy]] between [[Year 0]] and [[Year 4]]. It was known as one of the finest fleets with a consistently high rate of cadet retention, and a command staff with a history of going on to serve on Naval High Command and often even Imperial High Command. Many of its alumni that resigned from the Empire altogether went on to become notable figures throughout galactic politics.

==Naval Command Fleet==
The Second Assault Fleet was formed in [[Year 0]] as the Naval Command Fleet. It was initially commanded by [[Grand Admiral]] [[Gorn Veynom]] and subsequently Captain [[IWAssassin]]. On Year 1 Day 247, it was renamed to the Second Assault Fleet. When the [[Imperial Core]] separated from the rest of the Galactic Empire on Year 1 Day 307, IWAssassin received a promotion to Vice Admiral and a position as Executive Officer (XO) of the Imperial Navy, leaving Commander [[Savk]] in command and heralding a new age for the fleet.

==Krayt Dragons==
{{Quote
|quote = In all my years within this sector, never have I seen a fleet that moved with such coordination and grace as the Second [Assault Fleet].
|person = Kuat Sector Adjutant, Year 4 Day 51
}}

[[File:2AF FAA.jpg|left]]
Savk led the fleet through the end of Year 2, at which point, like his predecessor, he was promoted to the position of Navy XO and leaving command of the fleet to Commodore [[Hack Skice]] and Captain [[Syn]]. Despite the formal command change, he remained closely tied to the fleet and regularly attended and monitored its events and training exercises.

During this era, the fleet prospered with a steady roster of competent personnel. It simultaneously saw the lowest turnover of all of the eight Naval fleets, and the highest average rank of its members due to the unprecedented retention rate. A community thrived, and after an art competition to design a logo for the fleet, it became nicknamed the ''Krayt Dragons,'' with the motto, ''When defeat is imminent, our triumph is certain.'' The Second Assault Fleet was nearly always awarded the Navy's monthly Fleet Activity Award for exhibiting high activity and competence, and, notably, it was mobilized for the infamous [[From The Ashes]] campaign in Year 3.

===Battle of Alderaan===
Although designed to serve as one of the Navy's two roaming offensive fleets, the Second Assault Fleet was informally headquartered at [[Kuat]], the headquarters for the entire Imperial Navy. As a result, it saw a close relationship with the local defense fleet, the 3rd Sector Fleet or ''Kuat Naval Guard''.

This relationship was further strengthened when the two fleets were mobilized for the [[Battle of Alderaan]] within the Kuat sector, with the mission statement to ''"eradicate the opposition [previously scouted] in Alderaan."'' The campaign required months of preparation and execution, and during this time, the task force commanding officer, Vice Admiral [[OVERMIND]], and executive officer, Commodore Skice, were called away, leaving Captain Syn in command of the naval forces at Alderaan.

Only months earlier, the Imperial Core (which had since renamed itself the [[Dark Empire]]), had been reluctantly permitted back into the Empire's ranks. One of its ranking personnel, Vice Admiral [[Jennifer Dreighton|Dreighton]], who had thus far been uninvolved with the task force, arrived on scene and announced that she was taking command. This resulted in Empire-wide suspicions and tension, and she was taken into custody by the Imperial Security Bureau under Emperor [[Charon]]'s orders. This ultimately led to the overthrowing of Emperor Charon on Year 4 Day 133.

==Resignations==
{{Quote
|quote = The 2AF was a fleet that was guided by the idealism. Always truth to what honor, duty and loyalty means. They are chosing a different path from us, because they no longer believe to serve under an Empire guided and ruled by the Sith. They are seeking their own way to continue serving the Empire, but away from the Imperial branches.
|person = Commodore Hack Skice
}}

In response to [[Greyson Uebles]] ascending to the throne and the hostile atmosphere throughout the Imperial Navy, Grand Admiral [[Black Lodge]] and the new Emperor issued a grace period for Naval personnel wishing to resign to do so without formal repercussion, provided they did not subsequently align with a hostile power. Sixteen members of the Second Assault Fleet who had been loyal to Emperor Charon and chose not to serve under the new Sith regime chose to do so, from crewmen to the fleet's own Executive Officer. This left the Navy's finest fleet in pieces.

'''Resigned Personnel:'''
* Captain Syn
* Lieutenant [[Jeroen Veers]]
* Lieutenant Tacitus Publius
* Lieutenant George Cross
* Lieutenant(jg) Nevag Blackhole
* Lieutenant(jg) Andrew Fel
* Ensign Wan Salk
* Ensign Eulen Mirtash
* Ensign BesKost
* Flight Officer Alexi Voislav
* Flight Officer Dannar SherGarr
* Flight Sergeant Jason Aran
* Flight Corporal Derek Roguelight
* Flight Corporal Shinji Takao
* Crewman Jeremy Riker
* Crewman Zerid Quasar

Following the exodus, Commodore Skice resigned as Fleet Commanding Officer and requested the formal decommissioning of the fleet. Vice Admiral Savk returned to command what remained of the Second Assault Fleet until Year 4 Day 210.

==Legacy==
Despite its ultimate fate, the Second Assault Fleet left in its wake a legacy. From its earliest beginnings, personnel such as '''Veynom''', '''IWAssassin''', and '''Savk''' went on to have particularly illustrious careers within the Imperial Navy. '''Syn''' went on to become a wealthy, successful trader and ship producer, and later a renowned [[Eidola]] pirate. '''Jeroen Veers''' went on to become Prime Minister of the [[New Anzat Order]] (later the [[Anzatan Commonwealth]]). '''Dannar SherGarr''' was believed to be a pseudonym for [[Thomas Cherokee]], an early Imperial Executor who would later head the [[New Imperial Order]] until becoming Emperor himself, although other rumours identify SherGarr as Cherokee's son. Despite formally serving in the Kuat Naval Guard, '''[[Eric Jackson]]''' was considered the 2AF mascot, and resigned with his peers within the fleet. He would later become a Grand Master of the [[Jedi Order]] and second in command of the [[Avance Coalition]] before returning to the Empire to serve as a [[Moff]] and Sith Lord.

His parents being killed by pirates, Gorn Veynom, together with his twin brother, Black Leader, was literally raised by the [[Galactic Empire]]. At least until the Empire drifted into chaos, which forced the two boys, barely in their teens, to eke out an existence as smugglers.

It was the rebirth of the Empire under Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]] that brought Veynom back to where he belonged. He believed in the Empire so much that he even turned against his own brother when his rebellious intents became a threat to the Empire.

The career of Gorn Veynom in the Empire is closely linked to the European Division, which was created by Colonel [[Rahvin]]. Veynom soon became the leader of the naval division, the famous 3rd Recon and Strike Fleet (later 2nd Imperial Fleet). During this time, Veynom became concerned about the policy of rapprochement under [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]]; a policy which he felt would only weaken the Empire.

When Spytek stepped down as [[Emperor]], Veynom contended for the Imperial throne. Very soon another contender stepped into the ring: [[Trey Connel]], who was CO of the [[Imperial Army]] back then. As it was easy to see that a prolonged civil war would harm the Empire, Grand Admiral [[Piett]] decided to use his superior military strength to end the war before it began.

Eventually both Veynom and Connel accepted Piett as Emperor. Connel retained his position as Army CO, while Veynom succeeded Piett as supreme commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. For about a year the Empire flourished under the reign of Emperor Piett. The Imperial Navy under Grand Admiral Veynom rose in strength and became an efficient weapon in the service of the Emperor.

Following this period of stability and peace, however, a series of crises began to plague the Empire. It started with Connel accusing Veynom of plotting against the Emperor. In response, Piett chose to relieve both Veynom and Connel — as well as their suspected fellows in crime — of command.

In the end both Veynom and Connel were acquitted of all charges. Soon after Piett left the Galactic Empire. He placed Connel, his Chief of Staff, in charge, who soon assumed the position of Emperor. Immediately before Veynom could be appointed Chief of Staff, he left.

He set out for the Unknown Regions, for he received a call as well. He was summoned to fight a danger that was threatening the existence of the whole galaxy.

Although he has not returned so far, the whole galaxy received a message from him on Y2 D326 that caused a frantic race for the technology Veynom had discovered in the Unknown Regions.

=Biography=
==Early Days==

[[Image:Super L-500 Liner.jpg|right|thumbnail|L-500 Liner Odyssey]]

In the beginning there were twins, both boys. They were born onboard the civilian Super L-500 Liner ''Odyssey of the Galaxian Stars Line'' on its way from [[Coruscant]] to the [[Outer Rim]]. Their father, Ulrich Toikalen, was a young engineer, just promoted as director of an important Tibanna Gas mine on a far away planet. So he and his family had to leave Coruscant with Moira, his wonderful wife and his two sons, Gorn and Enlil.

But their destiny it was not. After two thirds of the journey, the ''Odyssey'' had to jump out of hyperspace for mysterious reasons. It was not an accident but a trap. Space pirates ambushed them. They wanted gold, money, rape and blood.

[[Image:Nebulon-B Frigate.jpg|left|thumbnail|Nebulon-B Frigate Gloria]]

The Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' arrived twelve hours later. By that time, the ''Odyssey'' was nothing more than a wreck or, worse, a huge coffin. The ship's log of the ''Gloria'' indicates that it was a wild massacre. His crew speaks about raped girls and mutilated bodies. An ocean of blood, a mountain of horror. None survived.

None? Not exactly. But listen to Lieutenant Zack, the Security Officer of the Imperial Frigate:

"''As my section and I were exploring the wreck of the Odyssey, hoping discovering some survivors. I was shocked by the violence and the atrocities of those pirates. How can it be possible ? The ship was full of silence as none of my soldiers dared speaking. The Odyssey has become a coffin. Suddenly, we heard crying. After hard investigations, we finally discovered 2 little babies hidden in a ventilation duct. As they were sleeping during the pirates' assault, none could find them and hunger just saved their life. It was not less than a miracle.''" — Lieutenant Zack - Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' Security Officer

The twins were brought to Carida. Many Imperials were touched by the tragedy of the twins and all was done to assure their future. The twins were taken in charge by an Imperial institution.

Six months later, the Naval Intelligence discovered the hidden base of the nicknamed "Bloody Mad Killers." The Imperial Navy desired to make an example. The Victory Class Star Destroyer ''Vindicator'' was sent to annihilate the mighty base. The orders were: "No mercy for that scum." The pirates were surprised when they saw the shadow of the ''Vindicator'' in the sky and knew their last hour coming. The surprise was so that stormtroopers' squadron could land with particular ease. The Commanding Officer was someone named Captain Zack. All pirates died; there were no prisoners.

The Empire had planned to send the twins for their 12th birthday to an Imperial Training Academy on Yinchorr, near the center of the galaxy. But a few days before leaving Carida, Yinchorr was struck by a terrible earthquake. The almost total destruction of Yinchorr severely damaged the Imperial Training Academy.

One consequence among others was that the twins had to survived by themselves as nobody had time to take care of them. It was a dark time for the Empire. They joined a bunch of smugglers and gained experience. From this time, their personalities began to be revealed. One was taciturn but an excellent leader. He was quickly nicknamed Black Leader. The other revealed excellent tactical aptitudes and leadership, loving justice and order. He was as courageous and clever. He was Gorn Veynom.

==Joining the Empire==
A few years later (circa Year -2 Day 315), they decided to join the emerging new Empire lead by Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]. A new order seemed to be rising. This was exactly what they were waiting for. Their ways separated there.

As Black Leader did not find that Empire as strong, powerful and active as he wished, he planned to overthrow Warlord Vodo. He discretely contacted some young Imperials and was preparing nothing less than a revolution.

For the first time, Veynom did not follow his brother. For him, all this was putting the Empire in a state of weakness and he had other ideas in mind. At this time, he met an Imperial named Rahvin. Both wished to create a new special elite squadron.

But dramatic events were going on. Black Leader made an alliance with other young Imperials lead by Wicket. Fortunately, the officers' majority was against them. The Empire was near to split. Veynom could not support that, he could not support a second fall of the Empire.

There was only one solution. One night Veynom came talk to his brother. He used all of his talented psychological capacities but he was losing his time. Black Leader's aim was the full control of [[the galaxy]], ruling by terror and chaos. All that was far from Veynom's ideal. Veynom had no choice yet. Two days later, Warlord Vodo received a strange heavy pack with a letter.

"''Your Highness,'' ''My trial to create a powerful Empire went down. All I did was splitting the Empire. I decided to avoid such awful situation. All I ask is the pardon for my allies. From now, they will be loyal to your Empire. As prove, you will find my head in this box.''" — Black Leader

In fact, things did not happen exactly like that. Veynom has had to kill his brother. Then he contacted Wicket and all dissidents and promised them to spare their life if they forgot their ideas of rebellion and loyalty serve the Empire. That day, Veynom saved many lives and maybe the Empire too. But he lost his brother. His pain was indescribable. From that moment, he promised to always hide his secret. None knows the true, except [[Wicket]] maybe who is now Commander in the Imperial Navy.

==The European Division==
[[Image:European Division.gif|right]]

During this dark period of time around Year -1 Day 65, [[Rahvin]] contacted [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] and asked for permission to create a new search & destroy elite squadron. This squadron would practice [[round-the-clock war]] principles. [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] agreed. The [[Imperial Fleets#European Division|European Division]] was born. It was under direct authority of Defense Minister [[Spytek]]. [[Rahvin]] was promoted to Colonel and CO of the Army squadron. Later, he promoted Veynom to Major with charge of leading the Naval composent of the [[Imperial Fleets#European Division|European Division]]

==A Career Dedicated to the Imperial Navy==

Around Year -1 Day 95, the European Division had to split into an Army division led by Colonel [[Rahvin]] (under the authority of General [[Nlyn]]) and a Navy division led by Commander Veynom (under authority of Admiral [[Piett]]). Commander Veynom was assigned a Bulk Cruiser as flagship of the unit.

In the beginning, it was just a little squadron. Step by step, it became a full fleet. Commander Veynom could find very efficient help at that time with Imperials like [[Spookie]] and [[Mouse Droid Eole|Eole]].

[[Image:3rd Naval Recon Division.JPG|left|125px]]

The European Navy soon become the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet and Commander Veynom was promoted to Commodore by Grand Admiral [[Piett]] on Year -1 Day 112. Eole was the Fleet's lieutenant while Spookie was promoted to Commander and led the Escort & Supply part of the fleet.

New recruits joined the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet. Others Imperials proved their efficiency and their loyalty, such as Lieutenant [[Ptjedi]], leader of the Escort Company, Ensign Cohosh, Commander Wicket, leader of the Assault Company and all the others. With the growth of the fleet, Veynom's Bulk Cruiser flagship was replaced by a Victory Class Star Destroyer around Year -1 Day 180. However, this VSD was replaced around Year -1 Day 210 by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer: the Blitzkrieg. The 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet had become an elite division, creating respect and fear among the Empire's enemies while most of the upper names became part of the Imperial legend.

A change in the Imperial strategy forced the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet to be dissolved and most of its members where assigned to the 2nd Imperial Fleet. These times around and after Year 0 Day 40 saw the emergence of even more dedicated officers such as [[Gunther von Esling]] or [[Jennifer Dreighton]] who could help Veynom who was promoted to Fleet Admiral On Year 0 Day 45.

[[Image:2nd Imperial Fleet.jpg|right|150px]]

But his command at the head of the 2nd Imperial Fleet did not last long. As a few months later, [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]] decided to leave the throne. The Empire was thrown into chaos. [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] could re-establish the situation by seizing the throne and imposing his vision of the Empire. To succeed him at the head of the Navy, he chose Gorn Veynom, his loyal, dedicated and efficient Admiral. On that day, Gorn Veynom became Grand Admiral and commanding officer of the Imperial Navy in service of Emperor Piett.

It was the golden age of the Imperial Navy. With the assistance of his Executive Officer, [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]], it grew to a never seen before size and the organization reached an unequaled level of efficiency and accuracy. Many department were born and worked hard for that: The Naval Personnel Assignment Office (INPO) of Commodore Jennifer Dreighton, the Naval Intelligence Services (INIS) of Admiral Gunther von Esling, the Naval Academy (INA) of Directors [[Machkhit]] and [[Jodo Kast]]. During this time, the Headquarters of the Imperial Navy were transferred to [[Kuat]].

All this did not happen without problems and many of these problems came from internal rivalries inside the Imperial High Command. Worse, at some time, the Dark Side called for the Emperor. And with him a good part of the Empire's glory faded. And even as it was not enough, barely a few months later, Gorn Veynom himself was summoned in the Unknown Regions by the Dark Side. He is currently still there, appearing from time to time on the Imperial Holonet or at a banquet but the date if his potential return is always in motion.

==Departure for the Unknown Regions==
On Year 1 Day 305, Veynom resigned from his position of [[Imperial Navy CO]], leaving [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]] in charge of the Navy and left for the Unknown Regions onboard his personal Lambda shuttle: the Overlord. His loyal aide-de-camp, Lieutenant [[Tarlik]] decided to resign from the Imperial Navy and follow his master come with him throughout this long and uncertain journey. Technicians who prepared Veynom's shuttle also reported that a [[Mouse Droid Eole|Mouse droid]] was present in the Overlord shuttle prior to departure.

==A Career filled with Controversy==
Historians agree upon stating that while Gorn Veynom's career in the Imperial Navy has been quite phenomenal, it still includes a few shadows and his records are not exempted of troubled times. During his exceptional career, Gorn Veynom indeed underwent three different trials, each time under the same accusation of High Treason but each time, he got cleared of the charges.

The first accusations were raised on Year 0 Day 25 by none else that his own right arm: Commander [[Fox Spookers]], XO of the 3rd Recon. Emperor [[Spytek]] himself cleared Veynom of all charges of treason around Y0 D40.

Around Year 1 Day 170, Chief of State [[Trey Connel]] accused Veynom of high treason and relieved him of command - before being himself also accused of treason and also relieved of command. After barely avoiding an Imperial civil war between the Imperial Navy and Army, a long trial started under administration of [[High Inquisitor]] [[Thomas Cherokee]]. Veynom's defense was ensured by Lieutenant [[Adar Machkhit]]. This trial is often referred to as being the deep root cause and the trigger for the later [[Imperial Core]] sedition. Ultimately however Emperor [[Piett]] cleared them both of all charges around Year 1 Day 200.

The third case started quickly after as, almost immediately after accessing the throne - around Year 1 Day 212 - Emperor [[Trey Connel]] accused again Veynom of disobedience and high treason, this time using a fallacious pretext concerning the supposed liberation of Captain [[Michael Pangborn]]. Another long trial was expected and the just buried animisities between the Navy and Army quickly started to resurect. Emperor Connel even suspended Grand-Admiral Veynom from duty for 14 days starting Year 1 Day 277 and also permanently denied him consideration for the position of Vice-Emperor. This last humiliation was extremely badly received by the Imperial Navy Command and particularly Fleet Admiral [[Simms]] and Admiral [[Gunther von Esling]]. It also probably explains Veynom did not stay to attend his trial as he had for the previous one. Instead he gave into the powerful call of the Dark Side and left the Empire for the Unknown Regions on Year 0 Day 305. Despite Veynom's departure which took place before the [[Imperial Core]] creation of Year 1 Day 307, Emperor [[Trey Connel|Connel]] announced on Year 1 Day 310 that Veynom was cleared of all charges against him. This late announcement did not solve the Imperial Core crisis as the damages were too deep.

==Known Appearances==
[[Image:Veynom avatar.gif|right]]
===From The Ashes===
A message sent by Veynom on Year 2 Day 326 from the Unknown Regions is at the origin of the [[From The Ashes]] battle and its consequences. His [[From_The_Ashes#Third_Transmission|third transmission]] from the Unknown Regions clearly demonstrates that at that time he was not aware of the [[Galactic_Empire#The_Great_Break.2C_the_Imperial_Core_and_the_Dark_Empire|the great crisis]] among the [[Galactic Empire]], the departure of many Imperials and Sith, and the creation of the [[Imperial Core]].

===Spotted by Rebels===
On Year 3 Day 231, Gorn Veynom was spotted by [[Lacey De Vries]], a Noghri reporter from [[Omega Order Vehicles]]. Upon an attempt to interview him, Lacey witnessed firsthand what he later mentioned as the brutality and anti-alien sentiment of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Witnessing the scene, [[Acria Larkin]] former member of [[Rebel Alliance]] High command stepped forward to defend the young interviewer, as did her fellow Noghri. A heated discussion ensued between Acria Larkin and Gorn Veynom. Acria Larkin approached the former Admiral staring him directly in the eye before addressing him. The ensuing discussion involved Acria appealing to the humane side of the former Admiral.

These two biased witnesses reported later that Gorn Veynom drew a blaster and aimed it directly for Mrs. Larkin. It was at this point that Lacey De Vries stepped between the two and managed to save Acria’s life but in doing so was herself injured. A further unconfirmed admission from Admiral Veynom that he felt no remorse or sympathy for “that animal” referring to the injured Noghri enraged Acria Larkin and the standoff continued.

At this stage [[Rostar]] the owner of [[Biotech|Biotech Solutions Inc]] and high priest of the [[Tafanda Bay]] Herdship arrived on the scene to give medical attention to the injured Lacey. [[Tembre Fe`ll]] also joined the scene at this point to offer the wounded Noghri aid.

From this point the situation degraded into an all out pub brawl in which Admiral Veynom used his force powers to choke Acria Larkin. Flocking to her aid were a Noghri, Tembre Fell, an injured Lacey De Vries and many others in the ensuing chaos Tembre Fell and Acria Larkin were severely wounded and transported to the medical bays of BSI. [[Derfflinger Von Seydlitz]] and Lacey De Vries were heavily wounded but capable of leaving the scene under their own accord.

When approached later on for official statements on the matter Tembre Fell refused to comment on the scuffle and Admiral Veynom was unavailable for questioning. Mrs Acria Larkin however had the following to say:

{{quote
|quote = Recently in an unplanned event, Ex-Admiral Gorn Veynom of the Galactic Empire and myself met in a public place. As a result of this meeting a heated conversation took place, which escalated into a physical fight involving both him and myself and a number of innocent bystanders attempting to preserve the peace. In response to my verbal baiting, the Admiral made use of the force against other beings and made racial and sexual comments of a derogatory nature”.
| person = [[Acria Larkin]]
}}

===Imperial Navy on Fire===
During Year 6, Grand Admiral Veynom also participated as moderator to [[Slicer#The NIO Rebellion (Year 6)|secret negociations]] between Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] and Admiral [[Slicer]]. The later non-adoption of the resulting agreement lead to the rebellion of various Imperials who defected in order to found another group named the [[New Imperial Order]].

==Rumors==
[[File:WarmasterVey.png|150px|thumb|border|right|Warmaster Veynom (supposition)]]Various rumors fly around concerning Veynom since his departure for the unknown regions. It is periodically reported that Veynom could come back one day to serve the Empire - or rule it - even if no evidence ever supported this. Other rumors tell that Veynom would have met an unknown race and discovered new technologies that would allow him to come back to devastate the known and unknown galaxy.

On a totally different level, Gorn Veynom is rumoured to own one of the very few - and rare - complete [[PlayImp]] Magazine collections.

Veynom: /* Growth and Diversity */ link

{{stub}}

[[File:PlayImpBanner.jpg‎ |200px]] PlayImp was a entertainment adult magazine founded and managed by [[Alex Tylger]] which was quite popular in the galaxy during Year 2. It pictured lookalikes women celebrities in various satiric and rather erotic scenarios.

=History=
[[File:PlayImpHQ.png|right|thumb|100px|PlayImp HQ]]Between around Year 1 Day 330 and Year 3 Day 8, PlayImp Magazine was available in stands all over the galaxy and on most planets, targeting mainly male Imperials. While mostly popular, it remained rather unpopular in certain parts of the galaxy such as the [[Hapes Consortium]] where many women considered it degrading.

PlayImp Magazine and its derived activities were founded by the then future Hapan King [[Alex Tylger]] who was undoubtly taking advantage of the un-Hapan values of the outside Galaxy.

PlayImp headquarters was located on [[Nar Shaddaa]].

==Released Issues==
A total of 10 issues were released:
* 9 regular issues numbered from 1 to 9;
** Issue 8 had 8 pages
** Issue 9 had 10 pages
* A bonus issue.

Very few people managed to acquire the complete collection of PlayImp Magazines. As of today, the full collection is estimated to be priceless.

==Sales Price==
While the first two issues could be purchased for a mere 250 credits, the PlayImp price quickly climbed to 7,000 credits with the 3rd edition before skyrocketing to unequaled summits with the 4th edition. At that time, people had to pay one [[Aggressor Assault Fighter]] and 100,000 credits to acquire an issue.

=Growth and Diversity=
[[File:PinkMynockInvitation.png|right]]Starting from late year 2, Alex tylger decided to expand the PlayImp business by opening nightclub and stripclub taverns through the Galaxy under the name of Pink Mynock.

The opening of the first Pink Mynock nightclub took place on Year 2 Day 365 on Nar Shaddaa, not far form the PlayImp Magazine headquarters. Many well-known galactic celebrities, mainly from the Empire, were invitied to that opening. It is rumoured that the festivities lasted until well in Year 3.

Over time, more Pink Mynock taverns opened on [[Nal Hutta]], [[Fallen Prime]], and [[Farfin]].

As of year 12, two Pink Mynock taverns still exist in the galaxy but the concept got copied on other homeworlds and it has become frequent to find taverns with very similar services under nonetheless similar names such as the Red Mynock, the Black Mynock, or the Dancing Mynock.

=Interview of Alex Tylger=
In issue 9 of Year 3 Day 8, the founder and editor of PlayImp Magazine [[Alex Tylger]] was interviewed by Lissy Lax in his own magazine.

=Overview=
[[Image:TIME vey.jpg|left]]
His parents being killed by pirates, Gorn Veynom, together with his twin brother, Black Leader, was literally raised by the [[Galactic Empire]]. At least until the Empire drifted into chaos, which forced the two boys, barely in their teens, to eke out an existence as smugglers.

It was the rebirth of the Empire under Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]] that brought Veynom back to where he belonged. He believed in the Empire so much that he even turned against his own brother when his rebellious intents became a threat to the Empire.

The career of Gorn Veynom in the Empire is closely linked to the European Division, which was created by Colonel [[Rahvin]]. Veynom soon became the leader of the naval division, the famous 3rd Recon and Strike Fleet (later 2nd Imperial Fleet). During this time, Veynom became concerned about the policy of rapprochement under [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]]; a policy which he felt would only weaken the Empire.

When Spytek stepped down as [[Emperor]], Veynom contended for the Imperial throne. Very soon another contender stepped into the ring: [[Trey Connel]], who was CO of the [[Imperial Army]] back then. As it was easy to see that a prolonged civil war would harm the Empire, Grand Admiral [[Piett]] decided to use his superior military strength to end the war before it began.

Eventually both Veynom and Connel accepted Piett as Emperor. Connel retained his position as Army CO, while Veynom succeeded Piett as supreme commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. For about a year the Empire flourished under the reign of Emperor Piett. The Imperial Navy under Grand Admiral Veynom rose in strength and became an efficient weapon in the service of the Emperor.

Following this period of stability and peace, however, a series of crises began to plague the Empire. It started with Connel accusing Veynom of plotting against the Emperor. In response, Piett chose to relieve both Veynom and Connel — as well as their suspected fellows in crime — of command.

In the end both Veynom and Connel were acquitted of all charges. Soon after Piett left the Galactic Empire. He placed Connel, his Chief of Staff, in charge, who soon assumed the position of Emperor. Immediately before Veynom could be appointed Chief of Staff, he left.

He set out for the Unknown Regions, for he received a call as well. He was summoned to fight a danger that was threatening the existence of the whole galaxy.

Although he has not returned so far, the whole galaxy received a message from him on Y2 D326 that caused a frantic race for the technology Veynom had discovered in the Unknown Regions.

=Biography=
==Early Days==

[[Image:Super L-500 Liner.jpg|right|thumbnail|L-500 Liner Odyssey]]

In the beginning there were twins, both boys. They were born onboard the civilian Super L-500 Liner ''Odyssey of the Galaxian Stars Line'' on its way from [[Coruscant]] to the [[Outer Rim]]. Their father, Ulrich Toikalen, was a young engineer, just promoted as director of an important Tibanna Gas mine on a far away planet. So he and his family had to leave Coruscant with Moira, his wonderful wife and his two sons, Gorn and Enlil.

But their destiny it was not. After two thirds of the journey, the ''Odyssey'' had to jump out of hyperspace for mysterious reasons. It was not an accident but a trap. Space pirates ambushed them. They wanted gold, money, rape and blood.

[[Image:Nebulon-B Frigate.jpg|left|thumbnail|Nebulon-B Frigate Gloria]]

The Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' arrived twelve hours later. By that time, the ''Odyssey'' was nothing more than a wreck or, worse, a huge coffin. The ship's log of the ''Gloria'' indicates that it was a wild massacre. His crew speaks about raped girls and mutilated bodies. An ocean of blood, a mountain of horror. None survived.

None? Not exactly. But listen to Lieutenant Zack, the Security Officer of the Imperial Frigate:

"''As my section and I were exploring the wreck of the Odyssey, hoping discovering some survivors. I was shocked by the violence and the atrocities of those pirates. How can it be possible ? The ship was full of silence as none of my soldiers dared speaking. The Odyssey has become a coffin. Suddenly, we heard crying. After hard investigations, we finally discovered 2 little babies hidden in a ventilation duct. As they were sleeping during the pirates' assault, none could find them and hunger just saved their life. It was not less than a miracle.''" — Lieutenant Zack - Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' Security Officer

The twins were brought to Carida. Many Imperials were touched by the tragedy of the twins and all was done to assure their future. The twins were taken in charge by an Imperial institution.

Six months later, the Naval Intelligence discovered the hidden base of the nicknamed "Bloody Mad Killers." The Imperial Navy desired to make an example. The Victory Class Star Destroyer ''Vindicator'' was sent to annihilate the mighty base. The orders were: "No mercy for that scum." The pirates were surprised when they saw the shadow of the ''Vindicator'' in the sky and knew their last hour coming. The surprise was so that stormtroopers' squadron could land with particular ease. The Commanding Officer was someone named Captain Zack. All pirates died; there were no prisoners.

The Empire had planned to send the twins for their 12th birthday to an Imperial Training Academy on Yinchorr, near the center of the galaxy. But a few days before leaving Carida, Yinchorr was struck by a terrible earthquake. The almost total destruction of Yinchorr severely damaged the Imperial Training Academy.

One consequence among others was that the twins had to survived by themselves as nobody had time to take care of them. It was a dark time for the Empire. They joined a bunch of smugglers and gained experience. From this time, their personalities began to be revealed. One was taciturn but an excellent leader. He was quickly nicknamed Black Leader. The other revealed excellent tactical aptitudes and leadership, loving justice and order. He was as courageous and clever. He was Gorn Veynom.

==Joining the Empire==
A few years later (circa Year -2 Day 315), they decided to join the emerging new Empire lead by Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]. A new order seemed to be rising. This was exactly what they were waiting for. Their ways separated there.

As Black Leader did not find that Empire as strong, powerful and active as he wished, he planned to overthrow Warlord Vodo. He discretely contacted some young Imperials and was preparing nothing less than a revolution.

For the first time, Veynom did not follow his brother. For him, all this was putting the Empire in a state of weakness and he had other ideas in mind. At this time, he met an Imperial named Rahvin. Both wished to create a new special elite squadron.

But dramatic events were going on. Black Leader made an alliance with other young Imperials lead by Wicket. Fortunately, the officers' majority was against them. The Empire was near to split. Veynom could not support that, he could not support a second fall of the Empire.

There was only one solution. One night Veynom came talk to his brother. He used all of his talented psychological capacities but he was losing his time. Black Leader's aim was the full control of [[the galaxy]], ruling by terror and chaos. All that was far from Veynom's ideal. Veynom had no choice yet. Two days later, Warlord Vodo received a strange heavy pack with a letter.

"''Your Highness,'' ''My trial to create a powerful Empire went down. All I did was splitting the Empire. I decided to avoid such awful situation. All I ask is the pardon for my allies. From now, they will be loyal to your Empire. As prove, you will find my head in this box.''" — Black Leader

In fact, things did not happen exactly like that. Veynom has had to kill his brother. Then he contacted Wicket and all dissidents and promised them to spare their life if they forgot their ideas of rebellion and loyalty serve the Empire. That day, Veynom saved many lives and maybe the Empire too. But he lost his brother. His pain was indescribable. From that moment, he promised to always hide his secret. None knows the true, except [[Wicket]] maybe who is now Commander in the Imperial Navy.

==The European Division==
[[Image:European Division.gif|right]]

During this dark period of time around Year -1 Day 65, [[Rahvin]] contacted [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] and asked for permission to create a new search & destroy elite squadron. This squadron would practice [[round-the-clock war]] principles. [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] agreed. The [[Imperial Fleets#European Division|European Division]] was born. It was under direct authority of Defense Minister [[Spytek]]. [[Rahvin]] was promoted to Colonel and CO of the Army squadron. Later, he promoted Veynom to Major with charge of leading the Naval composent of the [[Imperial Fleets#European Division|European Division]]

==A Career Dedicated to the Imperial Navy==

Around Year -1 Day 95, the European Division had to split into an Army division led by Colonel [[Rahvin]] (under the authority of General [[Nlyn]]) and a Navy division led by Commander Veynom (under authority of Admiral [[Piett]]). Commander Veynom was assigned a Bulk Cruiser as flagship of the unit.

In the beginning, it was just a little squadron. Step by step, it became a full fleet. Commander Veynom could find very efficient help at that time with Imperials like [[Spookie]] and [[Mouse Droid Eole|Eole]].

[[Image:3rd Naval Recon Division.JPG|left|125px]]

The European Navy soon become the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet and Commander Veynom was promoted to Commodore by Grand Admiral [[Piett]] on Year -1 Day 112. Eole was the Fleet's lieutenant while Spookie was promoted to Commander and led the Escort & Supply part of the fleet.

New recruits joined the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet. Others Imperials proved their efficiency and their loyalty, such as Lieutenant [[Ptjedi]], leader of the Escort Company, Ensign Cohosh, Commander Wicket, leader of the Assault Company and all the others. With the growth of the fleet, Veynom's Bulk Cruiser flagship was replaced by a Victory Class Star Destroyer around Year -1 Day 180. However, this VSD was replaced around Year -1 Day 210 by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer: the Blitzkrieg. The 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet had become an elite division, creating respect and fear among the Empire's enemies while most of the upper names became part of the Imperial legend.

A change in the Imperial strategy forced the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet to be dissolved and most of its members where assigned to the 2nd Imperial Fleet. These times around and after Year 0 Day 40 saw the emergence of even more dedicated officers such as [[Gunther von Esling]] or [[Jennifer Dreighton]] who could help Veynom who was promoted to Fleet Admiral On Year 0 Day 45.

[[Image:2nd Imperial Fleet.jpg|right|150px]]

But his command at the head of the 2nd Imperial Fleet did not last long. As a few months later, [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]] decided to leave the throne. The Empire was thrown into chaos. [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] could re-establish the situation by seizing the throne and imposing his vision of the Empire. To succeed him at the head of the Navy, he chose Gorn Veynom, his loyal, dedicated and efficient Admiral. On that day, Gorn Veynom became Grand Admiral and commanding officer of the Imperial Navy in service of Emperor Piett.

It was the golden age of the Imperial Navy. With the assistance of his Executive Officer, [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]], it grew to a never seen before size and the organization reached an unequaled level of efficiency and accuracy. Many department were born and worked hard for that: The Naval Personnel Assignment Office (INPO) of Commodore Jennifer Dreighton, the Naval Intelligence Services (INIS) of Admiral Gunther von Esling, the Naval Academy (INA) of Directors [[Machkhit]] and [[Jodo Kast]]. During this time, the Headquarters of the Imperial Navy were transferred to [[Kuat]].

All this did not happen without problems and many of these problems came from internal rivalries inside the Imperial High Command. Worse, at some time, the Dark Side called for the Emperor. And with him a good part of the Empire's glory faded. And even as it was not enough, barely a few months later, Gorn Veynom himself was summoned in the Unknown Regions by the Dark Side. He is currently still there, appearing from time to time on the Imperial Holonet or at a banquet but the date if his potential return is always in motion.

==Departure for the Unknown Regions==
On Year 1 Day 305, Veynom resigned from his position of [[Imperial Navy CO]], leaving [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]] in charge of the Navy and left for the Unknown Regions onboard his personal Lambda shuttle: the Overlord. His loyal aide-de-camp, Lieutenant [[Tarlik]] decided to resign from the Imperial Navy and follow his master come with him throughout this long and uncertain journey. Technicians who prepared Veynom's shuttle also reported that a [[Mouse Droid Eole|Mouse droid]] was present in the Overlord shuttle prior to departure.

==A Career filled with Controversy==
Historians agree upon stating that while Gorn Veynom's career in the Imperial Navy has been quite phenomenal, it still includes a few shadows and his records are not exempted of troubled times. During his exceptional career, Gorn Veynom indeed underwent three different trials, each time under the same accusation of High Treason but each time, he got cleared of the charges.

The first accusations were raised on Year 0 Day 25 by none else that his own right arm: Commander [[Fox Spookers]], XO of the 3rd Recon. Emperor [[Spytek]] himself cleared Veynom of all charges of treason around Y0 D40.

Around Year 1 Day 170, Chief of State [[Trey Connel]] accused Veynom of high treason and relieved him of command - before being himself also accused of treason and also relieved of command. After barely avoiding an Imperial civil war between the Imperial Navy and Army, a long trial started under administration of [[High Inquisitor]] [[Thomas Cherokee]]. Veynom's defense was ensured by Lieutenant [[Adar Machkhit]]. This trial is often referred to as being the deep root cause and the trigger for the later [[Imperial Core]] sedition. Ultimately however Emperor [[Piett]] cleared them both of all charges around Year 1 Day 200.

The third case started quickly after as, almost immediately after accessing the throne - around Year 1 Day 212 - Emperor [[Trey Connel]] accused again Veynom of disobedience and high treason, this time using a fallacious pretext concerning the supposed liberation of Captain [[Michael Pangborn]]. Another long trial was expected and the just buried animisities between the Navy and Army quickly started to resurect. Emperor Connel even suspended Grand-Admiral Veynom from duty for 14 days starting Year 1 Day 277 and also permanently denied him consideration for the position of Vice-Emperor. This last humiliation was extremely badly received by the Imperial Navy Command and particularly Fleet Admiral [[Simms]] and Admiral [[Gunther von Esling]]. It also probably explains Veynom did not stay to attend his trial as he had for the previous one. Instead he gave into the powerful call of the Dark Side and left the Empire for the Unknown Regions on Year 0 Day 305. Despite Veynom's departure which took place before the [[Imperial Core]] creation of Year 1 Day 307, Emperor [[Trey Connel|Connel]] announced on Year 1 Day 310 that Veynom was cleared of all charges against him. This late announcement did not solve the Imperial Core crisis as the damages were too deep.

==Known Appearances==
[[Image:Veynom avatar.gif|right]]
===From The Ashes===
A message sent by Veynom on Year 2 Day 326 from the Unknown Regions is at the origin of the [[From The Ashes]] battle and its consequences. His [[From_The_Ashes#Third_Transmission|third transmission]] from the Unknown Regions clearly demonstrates that at that time he was not aware of the [[Galactic_Empire#The_Great_Break.2C_the_Imperial_Core_and_the_Dark_Empire|the great crisis]] among the [[Galactic Empire]], the departure of many Imperials and Sith, and the creation of the [[Imperial Core]].

===Spotted by Rebels===
On Year 3 Day 231, Gorn Veynom was spotted by [[Lacey De Vries]], a Noghri reporter from [[Omega Order Vehicles]]. Upon an attempt to interview him, Lacey witnessed firsthand what he later mentioned as the brutality and anti-alien sentiment of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Witnessing the scene, [[Acria Larkin]] former member of [[Rebel Alliance]] High command stepped forward to defend the young interviewer, as did her fellow Noghri. A heated discussion ensued between Acria Larkin and Gorn Veynom. Acria Larkin approached the former Admiral staring him directly in the eye before addressing him. The ensuing discussion involved Acria appealing to the humane side of the former Admiral.

These two biased witnesses reported later that Gorn Veynom drew a blaster and aimed it directly for Mrs. Larkin. It was at this point that Lacey De Vries stepped between the two and managed to save Acria’s life but in doing so was herself injured. A further unconfirmed admission from Admiral Veynom that he felt no remorse or sympathy for “that animal” referring to the injured Noghri enraged Acria Larkin and the standoff continued.

At this stage [[Rostar]] the owner of [[Biotech|Biotech Solutions Inc]] and high priest of the [[Tafanda Bay]] Herdship arrived on the scene to give medical attention to the injured Lacey. [[Tembre Fe`ll]] also joined the scene at this point to offer the wounded Noghri aid.

From this point the situation degraded into an all out pub brawl in which Admiral Veynom used his force powers to choke Acria Larkin. Flocking to her aid were a Noghri, Tembre Fell, an injured Lacey De Vries and many others in the ensuing chaos Tembre Fell and Acria Larkin were severely wounded and transported to the medical bays of BSI. [[Derfflinger Von Seydlitz]] and Lacey De Vries were heavily wounded but capable of leaving the scene under their own accord.

When approached later on for official statements on the matter Tembre Fell refused to comment on the scuffle and Admiral Veynom was unavailable for questioning. Mrs Acria Larkin however had the following to say:

{{quote
|quote = Recently in an unplanned event, Ex-Admiral Gorn Veynom of the Galactic Empire and myself met in a public place. As a result of this meeting a heated conversation took place, which escalated into a physical fight involving both him and myself and a number of innocent bystanders attempting to preserve the peace. In response to my verbal baiting, the Admiral made use of the force against other beings and made racial and sexual comments of a derogatory nature”.
| person = [[Acria Larkin]]
}}

===Imperial Navy on Fire===
During Year 6, Grand Admiral Veynom also participated as moderator to [[Slicer#The NIO Rebellion (Year 6)|secret negociations]] between Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] and Admiral [[Slicer]]. The later non-adoption of the resulting agreement lead to the rebellion of various Imperials who defected in order to found another group named the [[New Imperial Order]].

==Rumors==
[[File:WarmasterVey.png|150px|thumb|border|right|Warmaster Veynom (supposition)]]Various rumors fly around concerning Veynom since his departure for the unknown regions. It is periodically reported that Veynom could come back one day to serve the Empire - or rule it - even if no evidence ever supported this. Other rumors tell that Veynom would have met an unknown race and discovered new technologies that would allow him to come back to devastate the known and unknown galaxy.

On a totally different level, Gorn Veynom is rumoured to own one of the very few - and rare - complete [[PlayImp]] Magazine collections.

From The Ashes

Veynom: /* Third Transmission */ fixing link to Connel page

{{Stub}}
'''From The Ashes''' refers to events put into motion by the three transmissions sent by retired Grand Admiral [[Gorn Veynom]] circa [[Year 2|Year 2 Day 326]] from the [[Unknown Regions]]. Many notable events occurred during this time period such as the merger between [[The Core]] and the [[Dark Empire]] on [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 94]]. Also, there were several technological breakthroughs including [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]'s [[Galactic Empire]] developing the [[Imperial Escort Carrier]].

==Background==
The era had been marked by turmoil. The [[Galactic Empire]] had been contested by the [[Rebel Alliance]] and dissident Imperials from the [[Imperial Core]]. Hate, fear, anger and death were daily occurrences.

===First Transmission===
On Year 3 Day 327, a low-quality communication was sent through the Holonet over a rarely used, public channel. Slowly an image appeared, the quality was twisted with parasites and receiving people had to wait for long seconds before recognizing the individual. Then many wished they had not recognized him. For some, he meant hope, for others he only meant fear: [[Gorn Veynom]], the retired Grand Admiral of the [[Imperial Navy]].

{{quote
|quote = Imperials, I come to you today with important news for our Empire. I have decided to interrupt my quest in the Unknown Regions in order to communicate to you all some information of the highest importance. The Unknown Regions have delivered some of their secrets to me. On an remote world, I have discovered remains of an old lost civilization and their technology, incredible technology. And I want it to serve our cause, our cause only. I will send more information soon ... but my communications time is extremely reduced to the unique configuration of this solar system. The advantage is that none can track the origin of the transmission. The inconvenient is that I can only use a public channel of the Holonet ... Long live the Empire ...
| person = Grand Admiral Veynom
}}

The image then faded, a evil laugh could still be heard, mixed with parasites.

===Second Transmission===
Seven days had passed since the mysterious initial transmission from [[Gorn Veynom]] was broadcast to the entire Galaxy. During that period, countless operators have been listening to the Holonet day and night, hoping to get something more. The well disciplined Imperials had organized the constant record of all signals sent through the Holonet everywhere in the Empire, the rebels had installed mini Holo-receivers aboard most of their always-in-motion capital starships in order to prevent any disaster, and countless other people were trying to know more in order to track a possible personal profit from the operation.

And suddenly on Year 2 Day 334, all these efforts were paying ... a signal was arriving ... a very disturbed and parasited signal. In fact, the signal was so jammed and full of parasites that only bits could be capted. Historians later gathered that different groups managed to receive more or less information from the transmission. based on their technology.

|}

Records reveal that the [[Imperial Core]] was the first group able to complete the missing bits of information and decypher the message within a mere 12 hours of its transmission. Other groups succeeded as well within a few additional days. Ultimately, the entire Galaxy could learn the full content of Veynom's message:

{{quote
|quote = Imperials, The situation here on Marharawen has evolved to a worse. A Jedi Master named Bodo Baas arrived two days ago. Fortunately, the powerful magnetic fields that I suppose to be of Sith origins and that are already hiding my transmission vector, damaged his shuttle beyond repair. I observed him since then, helped and hidden by some old Sith spirits and he is looking to destroy the technology and remnants I discovered. My untrained powers even coupled with the remaining Sith spirits are not enough to annihilate him definitively. I require and deeply recommend to a powerful Sith warrior to come and eliminate him as soon as possible as I estimate I will not be able to slow down that Jedi scum's researches for more than two standard months. I hope to get instructions or at least an acknowledgement from Imperials. I will meanwhile think to a safe and coded way to transmit my location through this public channel which is the only way I have.
| person = Grand Admiral Veynom
}}

The first answer broadcasted through the Galaxy came from [[Jennifer Dreighton|Lady Dreighton]] of the [[Imperial Core]].

===Third Transmission===
The third transmission arrived on Y3 D 4 of the Galactic New Era. Since weeks, the entire Galaxy had been retaining its breath. Millions of tech-operators had been sitting endlessly in front of their Holonet terminal.

It was not yet dawn on Coruscant and at that hour all Imperial sentinels still struggled against sleep except for Emperor [[Charon]] who was already up watching Capital Center through the windows of his Palace, he had an Empire to guide.

Nightfall had barely fallen on Corellia and people got prepared to go out. Tatooine was burned by the noon sun. On Hapes, the King was having is daily royal bath while in the middle of space the Rebel High Command were preparing the next elections. On Dathomir, the governor was sleeping - snoring - and in the shadows of all these important places or individuals were Sith, spying them, watching them, plotting against them.

It was not yet dawn and suddenly the red light signaling an incoming transmission bleeped. Right away, millions of recorders began their task. Thousands of messengers ran to alert their superiors. Among the first alerted people was the King of Hapes. Still in his bath, he sighed, sank his head under the water for a few seconds then stood up on his feet and declared royally:
{{quote
|quote = Off with my bath!
| person = King [[Jessy James]]
}}
Happily his servants had the appropriate reflex to immediately cover his royal nudity.

The first to read the message was the Emperor. The first? Not exactly. From his Mediation Chamber aboard his flagship, Sith Master [[Piett]] had felt something. He knew the incoming transmission was of the highest importance for him and as millions of other operators, he activated the reception.

The third transmission was still awfully japped and full of parasites, making it impossible for anyone or even any group to receive it completely. Moreover, part of the message was encrypted, making it even harder for anyone to decipher. Ultimately, once the message could finally be completed and decrypted, its true meaning was hidden inside riddles that only people close to [[Gorn Veynom]] could decipher.

Once the message could be completed and decrypted, it produced the following message:
{{quote
|quote = Imperials, I am rather surprised to receive three answers from three seemingly different Imperial collectives while it should have been unique. As I have not the time or the possibility to decide who should get it, I will reveal the location to the most capable organization. Considering I have extremely reduced encryption programs here I will not reveal the coordinates of the X-110 system directly. Among my discoveries, I found out a very old limited communications system, probably of Krath origins. I could hide my coordinates in the terminals of the Krath network. And I will use the encryption program of my datapad to give the location of one of the systems where you will find a node of the network. The encryption key is as suggested by Lady Dreighton. The decryption key is the name of one of our oldest Star Destroyers, previously commanded by the Imperial First Lady. Once decoded, switch the coordinates. I am waiting for the best of you. Follow Bodo Baas direction. The fleet where the Emperor began his career. The maximum number of Imperial Personnel Offices plus Loki. The number of fleets in the old 2nd Quadrant minus the number of days between two mandatory reports under Grand Moff Lodge in the good old days. Follow my direction.

The number of letters in the name of the only Falleen Imperial Admiral that ever existed minus the one of my loyal bodyguard. The number of secret children I have.

Solving the riddles was not easy and many simply gave up. However, patience, skills and dedication paid off and the coordinates of X-110 could be deciphered. X-110 was located at (-300, +170).

Upon fading, the holo left a Galaxy in turmoil, except on Dathomir where the governor could not be awaken. He had fur in his ears, of course he was only but a Wookie.

It was not yet dawn and in the Imperial Palace and a Moff was abruptly awaken by the very electronic noise of a small Mouse droid. While the droid was kindly doing its best to sing a “Happy Birthday Quel-Droma”, in an incomprehensible binary language, [[Kirov Quel-Droma]] was only irritated by the disturbing noise and grabbed a boot to throw it at the droids. Not being fully awake, his boot missed the droid but reached the huge window, breaking through. The Mouse droid did not insist and left the room quickly. The door was not closed yet that Kirov’s terminal beeped, four messages were waiting for him: first a happy birthday message from his mummy, then a notification that a transmission from Veynom had arrived, then again a Palace report of the window damage and costs being deduced from his next salary, and finally a report from the Palace Guard about a sentinel being attacked by terrorists bombing them with boots. He immediately thought that that particular day would be very very long …

On Year 3 Day 46, Director [[Ma'karr Quaxo]] of the [[Imperial Core]] posted on the [[GNS]] that this third transmission was first decoded by the [[Imperial Core]], then the [[Hapes Consortium]] then the [[Rebel Alliance]]. The riddles were only solved by the Imperial Core at first followed by the [[Rebel Alliance]]. The Imperial Core used the GNS to demonstrate to the galaxy their superiority and the the complete disappointing non-appearance of the Galactic Empire during these events. Such announcement shows how long it took the entire galaxy to know that the message had been decoded and the riddles resolved.

Veynom: /* European Division */

{{stub}}

== Current Fleets ==

== Former Fleets and Units ==
=== Imperial Command Fleet ===
The Imperial Command Fleet (ICF), also known as the Red Fleet circa Year -1, had the enormous responsibility of ensuring the Emperor's protection during the early days of the [[Galactic Empire]]. I was composed of several Star Destroyers flanking the [[Super Star Destroyer]] Fury.

=== European Division ===
[[Image:European Division.gif|left]]
The European Division (ED) was a mix Army-Navy unit founded by Colonel [[Rahvin]] and Major [[Gorn Veynom]] on Year -1 Day 65 under direct authority of then Defense Minister [[Spytek]]. This unit was created upon approval of [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] as a new search & destroy elite squadron that operated according to the [[round-the-clock war]] principles.

Upon creation, the European Division was commanded by Colonel Rahvin with Major Veynom as XO. Rahvin also directly commanded the Army component while Veynom lead the Navy section. The European Division was later split definitively into its Army component, merged into the [[Imperial Army]] and Navy component which would become the [[3rd Recon & Strike Fleet]] in the [[Imperial Navy]].

'''Matrel Byden''' — also known as '''Targeter''' — was a [[Human]] [[:Category:Females|female]] who became a highly decorated Imperial officer in the [[Imperial Navy]] and served in various capacities in the [[Imperial Army|Army]] and judiciary. She later was appointed [[Grand Vizier]] of the [[COMPNOR|Commission for the Preservation of the New Order]].

==Biography==
Byden enlisted in the [[Galactic Empire]] circa [[Year -3]] and was assigned to the Second Naval Recon, Sword Squadron. She was quickly promoted to Lieutenant and executive officer of Sword Squadron in Year -2 and eventually was appointed to the bench in the newly-created Imperial Judiciary. After serving for several months in that capacity, she returned to the Navy and was appointed Vice Admiral [[Mccarthur|Mccarthur's]] executive officer in the [[Imperial Fleets#Imperial Command Fleet|Red Fleet]] also known as the [[Imperial Fleets#Imperial Command Fleet|Imperial Command Fleet]] (ICF). She eventually became CO of the ICF upon Mccarthur reassignment and selected with Captain [[Ratman]] as XO. Back then she commanded the ISD Eradicator.

After a leave of absence, she was reassigned to the [[First Naval Recon]] as its commanding officer in Year 1. Little is known of Byden's career between her command in the First Naval Recon and her appointment as General of the [[Imperial Security Bureau]] under [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]. It was during this period that she dropped her assumed name of Targeter and became known as Matrel Byden.

During the [[Second Imperial Civil War]] that ravaged the galaxy circa Year 3, Byden played a prominent role in Charon's campaign to exterminate Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]' [[Dark Empire]]. Together with [[Grand Admiral]] [[Black Lodge]], Byden supported the creation of the [[Hutt Council]] as an [[Imperial]] [[Wikipedia:suzerainty|suzerainty]]. The latter syndicate became the apex of a propaganda war between Charon's Empire and Bonias' separatist movement. In the eyes of Warlord Bonias, it was contemptible that a [[Human|humanocentric]] regime such as Charon's Empire should publicly align itself with a criminal syndicate of Hutts. On [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 240]], the Hutt Council captured [[Black Sun]] [[Vigo]] [[Acria Larkin]] and extradited her to Byden's Imperial Security Bureau to be arraigned for high crimes against the Empire.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021028020800/http://swcombine.com/news/ic/ICtopic.php?msgid=698 GNS: "Black Sun Fiasco" - Year 3 Day 240] (Archived)</ref> The event would later result in the resignation of Larkin's husband, Aves Larkin, from the Falleen Federation, and a cold war between the Empire and Black Sun.

Some months later, negotiations commenced for the reunification of the Dark Empire and Galactic Empire. Charon, ever distrustful of Vodo and his followers, agreed to the merger reluctantly but retained his position as Emperor. Count [[Greyson Uebles]], an Imperial aristocrat and member of the Dark Empire, was appointed Executor. Many Dark Empire officers were similarly integrated into the Galactic Empire in a variety of positions. These same officers would later use their positions to overthrow Charon. Warlord Vodo formed a secretive fleet outside the chain of command that incorporated many loyal and high ranking officers as well as several Dark Jedi. Later this sect would become known as the [[List of Imperial Branches#Order of the Dark Hand|Order of the Dark Hand]]. Vodo also managed to preserve the secretive MJ-12 intelligence branch which had been essential in the Dark Empire's success.

As the months passed, the merger between the Galactic Empire and Dark Empire proved disastrous. Suspicion and in-fighting were rampant. It was at this time, the terms "[[Charonist]]" and "[[Vodoist]]" arose to describe those who remained loyal to Charon and those who supported Vodo in his bid for the Imperial throne respectively. Eventually, Charon ordered Byden to arrest Vice Admiral [[Jennifer Dreighton]] for a protocol violation. At the time, Dreighton was commander of the Dark Hand Fleet and a personal confidant of Vodo Bonias. The arrest of Dreighton proved to be the final straw for Vodo's followers, who rose up against Emperor Charon. Executor Uebles seized the opportunity and [[Ascension of Greyson Uebles|ascended the throne]], overthrowing Charon as the new Emperor on Day 133 of Year 4.

=Overview=
[[Image:TIME_vey.jpg|left]]
His parents being killed by pirates, Gorn Veynom, together with his twin brother, Black Leader, was literally raised by the [[Galactic Empire]]. At least until the Empire drifted into chaos, which forced the two boys, barely in their teens, to eke out an existence as smugglers.

It was the rebirth of the Empire under Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]] that brought Veynom back to where he belonged. He believed in the Empire so much that he even turned against his own brother when his rebellious intents became a threat to the Empire.

The career of Gorn Veynom in the Empire is closely linked to the European Division, which was created by Colonel [[Rahvin]]. Veynom soon became the leader of the naval division, the famous 3rd Recon and Strike Fleet (later 2nd Imperial Fleet). During this time, Veynom became concerned about the policy of rapprochement under [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]]; a policy which he felt would only weaken the Empire.

When Spytek stepped down as [[Emperor]], Veynom contended for the Imperial throne. Very soon another contender stepped into the ring: [[Trey Connel]], who was CO of the [[Imperial Army]] back then. As it was easy to see that a prolonged civil war would harm the Empire, Grand Admiral [[Piett]] decided to use his superior military strength to end the war before it began.

Eventually both Veynom and Connel accepted Piett as Emperor. Connel retained his position as Army CO, while Veynom succeeded Piett as supreme commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. For about a year the Empire flourished under the reign of Emperor Piett. The Imperial Navy under Grand Admiral Veynom rose in strength and became an efficient weapon in the service of the Emperor.

Following this period of stability and peace, however, a series of crises began to plague the Empire. It started with Connel accusing Veynom of plotting against the Emperor. In response, Piett chose to relieve both Veynom and Connel — as well as their suspected fellows in crime — of command.

In the end both Veynom and Connel were acquitted of all charges. Soon after Piett left the Galactic Empire. He placed Connel, his Chief of Staff, in charge, who soon assumed the position of Emperor. Immediately before Veynom could be appointed Chief of Staff, he left.

He set out for the Unknown Regions, for he received a call as well. He was summoned to fight a danger that was threatening the existence of the whole galaxy.

Although he has not returned so far, the whole galaxy received a message from him on Y2 D326 that caused a frantic race for the technology Veynom had discovered in the Unknown Regions.

=Biography=
==Early Days==

[[Image:Super L-500 Liner.jpg|right|thumbnail|L-500 Liner Odyssey]]

In the beginning there were twins, both boys. They were born onboard the civilian Super L-500 Liner ''Odyssey of the Galaxian Stars Line'' on its way from [[Coruscant]] to the [[Outer Rim]]. Their father, Ulrich Toikalen, was a young engineer, just promoted as director of an important Tibanna Gas mine on a far away planet. So he and his family had to leave Coruscant with Moira, his wonderful wife and his two sons, Gorn and Enlil.

But their destiny it was not. After two thirds of the journey, the ''Odyssey'' had to jump out of hyperspace for mysterious reasons. It was not an accident but a trap. Space pirates ambushed them. They wanted gold, money, rape and blood.

[[Image:Nebulon-B Frigate.jpg|left|thumbnail|Nebulon-B Frigate Gloria]]

The Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' arrived twelve hours later. By that time, the ''Odyssey'' was nothing more than a wreck or, worse, a huge coffin. The ship's log of the ''Gloria'' indicates that it was a wild massacre. His crew speaks about raped girls and mutilated bodies. An ocean of blood, a mountain of horror. None survived.

None? Not exactly. But listen to Lieutenant Zack, the Security Officer of the Imperial Frigate:

"''As my section and I were exploring the wreck of the Odyssey, hoping discovering some survivors. I was shocked by the violence and the atrocities of those pirates. How can it be possible ? The ship was full of silence as none of my soldiers dared speaking. The Odyssey has become a coffin. Suddenly, we heard crying. After hard investigations, we finally discovered 2 little babies hidden in a ventilation duct. As they were sleeping during the pirates' assault, none could find them and hunger just saved their life. It was not less than a miracle.''" — Lieutenant Zack - Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' Security Officer

The twins were brought to Carida. Many Imperials were touched by the tragedy of the twins and all was done to assure their future. The twins were taken in charge by an Imperial institution.

Six months later, the Naval Intelligence discovered the hidden base of the nicknamed "Bloody Mad Killers." The Imperial Navy desired to make an example. The Victory Class Star Destroyer ''Vindicator'' was sent to annihilate the mighty base. The orders were: "No mercy for that scum." The pirates were surprised when they saw the shadow of the ''Vindicator'' in the sky and knew their last hour coming. The surprise was so that stormtroopers' squadron could land with particular ease. The Commanding Officer was someone named Captain Zack. All pirates died; there were no prisoners.

The Empire had planned to send the twins for their 12th birthday to an Imperial Training Academy on Yinchorr, near the center of the galaxy. But a few days before leaving Carida, Yinchorr was struck by a terrible earthquake. The almost total destruction of Yinchorr severely damaged the Imperial Training Academy.

One consequence among others was that the twins had to survived by themselves as nobody had time to take care of them. It was a dark time for the Empire. They joined a bunch of smugglers and gained experience. From this time, their personalities began to be revealed. One was taciturn but an excellent leader. He was quickly nicknamed Black Leader. The other revealed excellent tactical aptitudes and leadership, loving justice and order. He was as courageous and clever. He was Gorn Veynom.

==Joining the Empire==
A few years later (circa Year -2 Day 315), they decided to join the emerging new Empire lead by Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]. A new order seemed to be rising. This was exactly what they were waiting for. Their ways separated there.

As Black Leader did not find that Empire as strong, powerful and active as he wished, he planned to overthrow Warlord Vodo. He discretely contacted some young Imperials and was preparing nothing less than a revolution.

For the first time, Veynom did not follow his brother. For him, all this was putting the Empire in a state of weakness and he had other ideas in mind. At this time, he met an Imperial named Rahvin. Both wished to create a new special elite squadron.

But dramatic events were going on. Black Leader made an alliance with other young Imperials lead by Wicket. Fortunately, the officers' majority was against them. The Empire was near to split. Veynom could not support that, he could not support a second fall of the Empire.

There was only one solution. One night Veynom came talk to his brother. He used all of his talented psychological capacities but he was losing his time. Black Leader's aim was the full control of [[the galaxy]], ruling by terror and chaos. All that was far from Veynom's ideal. Veynom had no choice yet. Two days later, Warlord Vodo received a strange heavy pack with a letter.

"''Your Highness,'' ''My trial to create a powerful Empire went down. All I did was splitting the Empire. I decided to avoid such awful situation. All I ask is the pardon for my allies. From now, they will be loyal to your Empire. As prove, you will find my head in this box.''" — Black Leader

In fact, things did not happen exactly like that. Veynom has had to kill his brother. Then he contacted Wicket and all dissidents and promised them to spare their life if they forgot their ideas of rebellion and loyalty serve the Empire. That day, Veynom saved many lives and maybe the Empire too. But he lost his brother. His pain was indescribable. From that moment, he promised to always hide his secret. None knows the true, except [[Wicket]] maybe who is now Commander in the Imperial Navy.

==The European Division==
[[Image:European Division.gif|right]]

During this dark period of time around Year -1 Day 65, [[Rahvin]] contacted [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] and asked for permission to create a new search & destroy elite squadron. This squadron would practice [[round-the-clock war]] principles. [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] agreed. The [[Imperial Fleets#European Division|European Division]] was born. It was under direct authority of Defense Minister [[Spytek]]. [[Rahvin]] was promoted to Colonel and CO of the Army squadron. Later, he promoted Veynom to Major with charge of leading the Naval composent of the [[Imperial Fleets#European Division|European Division]]

==A Career Dedicated to the Imperial Navy==
Around Year -1 Day 95, the European Division had to split into an Army division led by Colonel [[Rahvin]] (under the authority of General [[Nlyn]]) and a Navy division led by Commander Veynom (under authority of Admiral [[Piett]]). Commander Veynom was assigned a Bulk Cruiser as flagship of the unit.

In the beginning, it was just a little squadron. Step by step, it became a full fleet. Commander Veynom could find very efficient help at that time with Imperials like [[Spookie]] and [[Mouse Droid Eole|Eole]].

[[Image:3rd Naval Recon Division.JPG|left|125px]]

The European Navy soon become the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet and Commander Veynom was promoted to Commodore by Grand Admiral [[Piett]] on Year -1 Day 112. Eole was the Fleet's lieutenant while Spookie was promoted to Commander and led the Escort & Supply part of the fleet.

New recruits joined the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet. Others Imperials proved their efficiency and their loyalty, such as Lieutenant [[Ptjedi]], leader of the Escort Company, Ensign Cohosh, Commander Wicket, leader of the Assault Company and all the others. With the growth of the fleet, Veynom's Bulk Cruiser flagship was replaced by a Victory Class Star Destroyer around Year -1 Day 180. However, this VSD was replaced around Year -1 Day 210 by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer: the Blitzkrieg. The 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet had become an elite division, creating respect and fear among the Empire's enemies while most of the upper names became part of the Imperial legend.

A change in the Imperial strategy forced the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet to be dissolved and most of its members where assigned to the 2nd Imperial Fleet. These times around and after Year 0 Day 40 saw the emergence of even more dedicated officers such as [[Gunther von Esling]] or [[Jennifer Dreighton]] who could help Veynom who was promoted to Fleet Admiral On Year 0 Day 45.

[[Image:2nd Imperial Fleet.jpg|right|150px]]

But his command at the head of the 2nd Imperial Fleet did not last long. As a few months later, [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]] decided to leave the throne. The Empire was thrown into chaos. [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] could re-establish the situation by seizing the throne and imposing his vision of the Empire. To succeed him at the head of the Navy, he chose Gorn Veynom, his loyal, dedicated and efficient Admiral. On that day, Gorn Veynom became Grand Admiral and commanding officer of the Imperial Navy in service of Emperor Piett.

It was the golden age of the Imperial Navy. With the assistance of his Executive Officer, [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]], it grew to a never seen before size and the organization reached an unequaled level of efficiency and accuracy. Many department were born and worked hard for that: The Naval Personnel Assignment Office (INPO) of Commodore Jennifer Dreighton, the Naval Intelligence Services (INIS) of Admiral Gunther von Esling, the Naval Academy (INA) of Directors [[Machkhit]] and [[Jodo Kast]]. During this time, the Headquarters of the Imperial Navy were transferred to [[Kuat]].

All this did not happen without problems and many of these problems came from internal rivalries inside the Imperial High Command. Worse, at some time, the Dark Side called for the Emperor. And with him a good part of the Empire's glory faded. And even as it was not enough, barely a few months later, Gorn Veynom himself was summoned in the Unknown Regions by the Dark Side. He is currently still there, appearing from time to time on the Imperial Holonet or at a banquet but the date if his potential return is always in motion.

==Departure for the Unknown Regions==
On Year 1 Day 305, Veynom resigned from his position of [[Imperial Navy CO]], leaving [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]] in charge of the Navy and left for the Unknown Regions onboard his personal Lambda shuttle: the Overlord. His loyal aide-de-camp, Lieutenant [[Tarlik]] decided to resign from the Imperial Navy and follow his master come with him throughout this long and uncertain journey. Technicians who prepared Veynom's shuttle also reported that a [[Mouse Droid Eole|Mouse droid]] was present in the Overlord shuttle prior to departure.

==A Career filled with Controversy==
Historians agree upon stating that while Gorn Veynom's career in the Imperial Navy has been quite phenomenal, it still includes a few shadows and his records are not exempted of troubled times. During his exceptional career, Gorn Veynom indeed underwent three different trials, each time under the same accusation of High Treason but each time, he got cleared of the charges.

The first accusations were raised on Year 0 Day 25 by none else that his own right arm: Commander [[Fox Spookers]], XO of the 3rd Recon. Emperor [[Spytek]] himself cleared Veynom of all charges of treason around Y0 D40.

Around Year 1 Day 170, Chief of State [[Trey Connel]] accused Veynom of high treason and relieved him of command - before being himself also accused of treason and also relieved of command. After barely avoiding an Imperial civil war between the Imperial Navy and Army, a long trial started under administration of [[High Inquisitor]] [[Thomas Cherokee]]. Veynom's defense was ensured by Lieutenant [[Adar Machkhit]]. This trial is often referred to as being the deep root cause and the trigger for the later [[Imperial Core]] sedition. Ultimately however Emperor [[Piett]] cleared them both of all charges around Year 1 Day 200.

The third case started quickly after as, almost immediately after accessing the throne - around Year 1 Day 212 - Emperor [[Trey Connel]] accused again Veynom of disobedience and high treason, this time using a fallacious pretext concerning the supposed liberation of Captain [[Michael Pangborn]]. Another long trial was expected and the just buried animisities between the Navy and Army quickly started to resurect. Emperor Connel even suspended Grand-Admiral Veynom from duty for 14 days starting Year 1 Day 277 and also permanently denied him consideration for the position of Vice-Emperor. This last humiliation was extremely badly received by the Imperial Navy Command and particularly Fleet Admiral [[Simms]] and Admiral [[Gunther von Esling]]. It also probably explains Veynom did not stay to attend his trial as he had for the previous one. Instead he gave into the powerful call of the Dark Side and left the Empire for the Unknown Regions on Year 0 Day 305. Despite Veynom's departure which took place before the [[Imperial Core]] creation of Year 1 Day 307, Emperor [[Trey Connel|Connel]] announced on Year 1 Day 310 that Veynom was cleared of all charges against him. This late announcement did not solve the Imperial Core crisis as the damages were too deep.

==Know Appearances==
===From The Ashes===
A message sent by Veynom on Year 2 Day 326 from the Unknown Regions is at the origin of the [[From The Ashes]] battle and its consequences. His [[From_The_Ashes#Third_Transmission|third transmission]] from the Unknown Regions clearly demonstrates that at that time he was not aware of the [[Galactic_Empire#The_Great_Break.2C_the_Imperial_Core_and_the_Dark_Empire|the great crisis]] among the [[Galactic Empire]], the departure of many Imperials and Sith, and the creation of the [[Imperial Core]].

===Spotted by Rebels===
On Year 3 Day 231, Gorn Veynom was spotted by [[Lacey De Vries]], a Noghri reporter from [[Omega Order Vehicles]]. Upon an attempt to interview him, Lacey witnessed firsthand what he later mentioned as the brutality and anti-alien sentiment of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Witnessing the scene, [[Acria Larkin]] former member of [[Rebel Alliance]] High command stepped forward to defend the young interviewer, as did her fellow Noghri. A heated discussion ensued between Acria Larkin and Gorn Veynom. Acria Larkin approached the former Admiral staring him directly in the eye before addressing him. The ensuing discussion involved Acria appealing to the humane side of the former Admiral.

These two biased witnesses reported later that Gorn Veynom drew a blaster and aimed it directly for Mrs. Larkin. It was at this point that Lacey De Vries stepped between the two and managed to save Acria’s life but in doing so was herself injured. A further unconfirmed admission from Admiral Veynom that he felt no remorse or sympathy for “that animal” referring to the injured Noghri enraged Acria Larkin and the standoff continued.

At this stage [[Rostar]] the owner of [[Biotech|Biotech Solutions Inc]] and high priest of the [[Tafanda Bay]] Herdship arrived on the scene to give medical attention to the injured Lacey. [[Tembre Fe`ll]] also joined the scene at this point to offer the wounded Noghri aid.

From this point the situation degraded into an all out pub brawl in which Admiral Veynom used his force powers to choke Acria Larkin. Flocking to her aid were a Noghri, Tembre Fell, an injured Lacey De Vries and many others in the ensuing chaos Tembre Fell and Acria Larkin were severely wounded and transported to the medical bays of BSI. [[Derfflinger Von Seydlitz]] and Lacey De Vries were heavily wounded but capable of leaving the scene under their own accord.

When approached later on for official statements on the matter Tembre Fell refused to comment on the scuffle and Admiral Veynom was unavailable for questioning. Mrs Acria Larkin however had the following to say:

{{quote
|quote = Recently in an unplanned event, Ex-Admiral Gorn Veynom of the Galactic Empire and myself met in a public place. As a result of this meeting a heated conversation took place, which escalated into a physical fight involving both him and myself and a number of innocent bystanders attempting to preserve the peace. In response to my verbal baiting, the Admiral made use of the force against other beings and made racial and sexual comments of a derogatory nature”.
| person = [[Acria Larkin]]
}}

===Imperial Navy on Fire===
During Year 6, Grand Admiral Veynom also participated as moderator to [[Slicer#The NIO Rebellion (Year 6)|secret negociations]] between Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] and Admiral [[Slicer]]. The later non-adoption of the resulting agreement lead to the rebellion of various Imperials who defected in order to found another group named the [[New Imperial Order]].

==Rumors==
[[File:WarmasterVey.png|150px|thumb|border|right|Warmaster Veynom (supposition)]]Various rumors fly around concerning Veynom since his departure for the unknown regions. It is periodically reported that Veynom could come back one day to serve the Empire - or rule it - even if no evidence ever supported this. Other rumors tell that Veynom would have met an unknown race and discovered new technologies that would allow him to come back to devastate the known and unknown galaxy.

On a totally different level, Gorn Veynom is rumoured to own one of the very few - and rare - complete [[PlayImp]] Magazine collections.

'''Mccarthur''', also known as '''MacArthur''', was the seventh ''recorded'' [[Emperor|Emperor of the Galaxy]] ([[Year 1|Year 1 Day 320]] — [[Year 2|Year 2 Day 212]]) and the second ruler in a dynastic triumvirate which began with [[Emperor]] [[Trey Connel]] and ended with Mccarthur's successor, [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]. This dynasty controlled Imperial politics for three years — from Year 1 Day 212 to Year 4 Day 133 — and was externally opposed in [[the galaxy]] by warlords such as [[Gorn Veynom]], [[Greyson Uebles]], and [[Vodo Bonias]].

Emperor Mccarthur is often criticized by some Imperial historians for his un-Emperor-like benevolence. He is also accused by his detractors of "needlessly increasing bureaucracy within the Empire." Nevertheless, Mccarthur deserves recognition for helping to rebuild the Empire after a large number of Imperials had egressed to join the [[Imperial Core]] during Connel's brief tenure as emperor.

==Biography==
===Early Career===
Mccarthur is believed to have joined the Galactic Empire circa [[Year -1]]. Throughout his early career, he was a loyal and dedicated Imperial officer who served in a variety of disparate positions, including Naval Ensign, Ambassador, Executive Officer (XO) of Naval Fleet, Commanding Officer (CO) of Naval Fleet, Commander of the Royal Guard, Director of Naval Intelligence, Command General - Commander of Army Quadrant IV, and many others.<ref name="HoloNews">[http://web.archive.org/web/20020123073353/www.holonews.f2s.com/interviews/macarthur.shtml HoloNews - Interview with MacArthur - January 2002] (Archived)</ref> On the eve of his ascension as emperor, Mccarthur had served as a faithful member of the Empire for over four years.<ref name="HoloNews"/>

Mccarthur's uncommon career through several disparate positions coupled to a strong character lead to some tenses and frictions toward traditional Naval Officers. An anecdote reports that during his assignment as Commanding Officer of the Naval Fleet, Grand Admiral [[Gorn Veynom]] stated about him in front of the entire Imperial High Command that a second [[Super Star Destroyer]] should be produced and assigned to the fleet: one to carry Mccarthur himself, and the second one to carry his ego.

===Ascension as Emperor===
Throughout the tumultuous months of [[Year 1]], [[Emperor]] [[Trey Connel]] was unable to stabilize the Empire and pondered abdicating the throne at the behest of his trusted advisers, notably Former [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]].<ref name="The Return"/> By Year 1 Day 320, Connel had decided to abdicate as Emperor; however, before he could announce his decision, his shuttle exploded en-route to the Imperial Palace. His body was never recovered and he was (erroneously) presumed dead. In a move that piqued some Imperials, Mccarthur was declared the new Emperor of the Galaxy and immediately began to rule. Mccarthur appointed [[Thomas Cherokee]] — formerly the Minister of Protocol under [[Emperor]] [[Piett]] — to serve as Executor and his heir-apparent.

===Era of the Three Executors===
Circa Year 1 Day 330, Mccarthur chose a second Executor to work for the betterment of his New Order. Thus, in addition to Executor Cherokee, Mccarthur chose Minister [[Charon]] to join his line of succession. Just as Executor Cherokee remained at his old post, Executor Charon also continued in his former position as the Minister of Imperial Diplomacy in addition to his duties as Executor.<ref name="2nd Executor"/>

It must be noted that Mccarthur's line of succession was based on "order of appointment." As Cherokee was his first Executor, he would ascend to the Imperial Throne in the event of Mccarthur's incapacitation or death. Charon was the second Executor; hence, he would follow Cherokee to the throne. Mccarthur reserved the right to assign additional Executors as his agents to preserve the Empire.<ref name="2nd Executor">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010627195056/www.swcombine.com/cmg/ing.shtml?show=empirenews-November-2000 "2nd Executor" - November 2000] (Archived)</ref>

On Year 1 Day 353, Connel was learned to have survived his shuttle explosion. He returned to the Galactic Empire and was appointed by Mccarthur as Minister of Defense. This appointment was greatly criticized by external observers, including the Imperial Core, and garnered a stinging public rebuke from former [[Supreme Commander]] [[Fox Spookers]] of the Rebel Alliance who described Connel's appointment as "the return of a coward."<ref name="Rebel Alliance News">[http://web.archive.org/web/20001121222100/http://swcombine.com/HTML/rebel.shtml Rebel Alliance - News] (Archived)</ref>

To stifle further criticisms, Connel publicly explained his disappearance and reappearance in an official GNS newscast: "My mentor and teacher, Former Emperor Spytek, suggested that I take a break from the Empire, and get my life together. I took his advice to heart and faked my death."<ref name="The Return">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010627195056/www.swcombine.com/cmg/ing.shtml?show=empirenews-November-2000 "The Return" by Trey Connel - November 2000] (Archived)</ref>

Two weeks later, on [[Year 2|Year 2 Day 0]], Mccarthur elevated the newly-returned Connel from Minister of Defense to the exalted position of "1st Executor."<ref name="1st Executor"/> In addition to Connel's existing duties as Minister of Defense, he became second-in-command of Mccarthur's illustrious Empire. Despite this appointment, Executors Cherokee and Charon remained in the line of succession and were accorded all the rights and privileges of the office.<ref name="1st Executor">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010627212626/www.swcombine.com/cmg/ing.shtml?show=empirenews-December-2000 "1st Executor" - News Post - December 2000] (Archived)</ref>

However, this situation — in which three Executors ruled — did not last long and, on Year 2 Day 81, Connel departed the Galactic Empire for the Unknown Regions. His departure left Cherokee and Charon as the sole contenders for the throne.

On Year 2 Day 111, former Emperor Piett returned from the Outer Rim Territories.<ref name="Timeline">[http://holocron.swcombine.com/wiki/Timeline Holocron Article: Timeline]</ref> Although Piett had chosen Connel to succeed him as emperor, he was disappointed to learn that Mccarthur was now seated on the Imperial throne. As such, Piett voiced his support for the Imperial Core, a separatist movement led by Veynom's supporters.

===Benevolent Reign===
Mccarthur's primary concerns during his brief reign were rebuilding Imperial finances and restoring Imperial prestige. To this end he enacted a number of popular measures; however, these acts of benevolence displeased Imperial separatists such as the Imperial Core who claimed the Empire under Mccarthur had become "soft" and "too kindhearted." Their objections, however, fell on deaf ears as the majority of the galactic populace reveled in the reign of an honorable and judicious emperor.

Due to his magnanimity, Mccarthur was viewed as a noble and just sovereign. His policies of appeasement were wildly admired throughout [[the galaxy]], and his reputation as a benevolent ruler greatly frustrated the recruitment efforts of the Rebel Alliance. After half-a-year of Mccarthur's reign, the Imperials had become more well-liked than the rebels, a paradoxical situation viewed as intolerable by both the jealous Alliance and the militant Core.

===A Peace Offer===
On [[Year 2|Year 2 Day 140]], the [[Rebel Alliance]], led by [[Supreme Commander]] [[Shae Briston]], attempted a psychological gambit and proposed a peace treaty to the Galactic Empire. The Alliance explicitly stated that "Mccarthur was far too kind a ruler to revolt against." Their peace offer sent shockwaves throughout the galaxy as many sentient beings pondered what the universe would be like without the ever-present [[Galactic Civil War]].

Two days later, Mccarthur rejected the peace offer on the grounds that: "The Empire does not, nor will it ever, negotiate with terrorists."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010627211813/www.swcombine.com/cmg/ing.shtml?show=empirenews-April-2001 Galactic Empire News - April 2001] (Archived)</ref> He further demanded the unconditional surrender of the Rebel Alliance. Although his stern reply temporarily quelled accusations that he was unfit to lead the Empire, Mccarthur's image as a benevolent and kind ruler now became a liability, and a permanent stain on his reign.

Eight days later, on Year 2 Day 150, Shae Briston stepped down as Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance.<ref name="Timeline"/> Briston was replaced as leader by [[David Salohah|David "Dr. Fro" Salohah]] who assumed power under the new title of President of the Rebel Alliance.<ref name="Night Thieves">[http://web.archive.org/web/20031225001720/members.rogers.com/eheap/History.html Night Thieves - History] (Archived)</ref>

===Abdication===
By the middle of Year 2, Mccarthur became less energetic and, allegedly, was entirely in the hands of favorites. Two of these — [[Cherokee]], who became Mccarthur's 1st [[Executor]], and [[Charon]], Mccarthur's 2nd Executor — were said to virtually control the emperor. On Year 2 Day 212, Mccarthur — beleaguered by mounting accusations of being too benevolent to lead the Empire — stepped down as Emperor and was succeeded by Charon.

Former Emperor Piett was reportedly very unhappy with Charon assuming the throne. On [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 94]], Piett oversaw a merger between the Imperial Core and the Sith Order. This merger resulted in the birth of the [[Dark Empire]]. Shortly after the public announcement of the Dark Empire, Piett returned to the Outer Rim Territories.

==OOC Notes==
{{OOC}}
* Although many believe Mccarthur resigned as Emperor due to the public perception of him being too benevolent as an emperor, Mccarthur himself stated in late June 2001 (Approximately Year 2 Day 202) that he was "experiencing some medical problems IRL."<ref name="Awards"/> This latter statement was, perhaps, the primary reason for his stepping down as emperor.<ref name="Awards">[http://web.archive.org/web/20010627195056/www.swcombine.com/cmg/ing.shtml?show=empirenews-November-2000 Galactic Empire News - Awards] (Archived)</ref>

* In an interview with the Hapes Consortium's HoloNews, Mccarthur stated he selected his nickname/handle because he was a World War II buff and greatly admired General MacArthur. He changed the spelling of the name because he did not wish to diminish General MacArthur's memory by using it to play a fantasy game.<ref name="HoloNews"/>

Veynom:

'''Veynom''' (Jehan Snyers d'Attenhoven) is the current [[Sim Master]] and, prior to his becoming an administrator, was well known in the [[Galactic Empire]] faction as [[Imperial]] [[Admiral]] [[Gorn Veynom]].

Before the creation of the Combine, Veynom was a respected member of the ill-fated Star Wars Simulation (SWSim). Historically, it was on the 3rd of December 1998 that [[Fizzban]], [[PtJedi]] and Veynom decided to start an online game on the ashes of the defunct Star Wars Simulation. Veynom took an active role in the creation process as co-founder, and as leader of the rules team.

When it became apparent that the completion of the Combine necessitated his work as a full time administrator, Veynom dropped his character on [[Timeline#Year_2|Year 2 Day 254]]. On Year 2 Day 346 he officially took over the position as [[Sim Master]] from [[Fizzban]].

=Overview=
[[Image:TIME_vey.jpg|left]]
His parents being killed by pirates, Gorn Veynom, together with his twin brother, Black Leader, was literally raised by the [[Galactic Empire]]. At least until the Empire drifted into chaos, which forced the two boys, barely in their teens, to eke out an existence as smugglers.

It was the rebirth of the Empire under Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]] that brought Veynom back to where he belonged. He believed in the Empire so much that he even turned against his own brother when his rebellious intents became a threat to the Empire.

The career of Gorn Veynom in the Empire is closely linked to the European Division, which was created by Colonel [[Rahvin]]. Veynom soon became the leader of the naval division, the famous 3rd Recon and Strike Fleet (later 2nd Imperial Fleet). During this time, Veynom became concerned about the policy of rapprochement under [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]]; a policy which he felt would only weaken the Empire.

When Spytek stepped down as [[Emperor]], Veynom contended for the Imperial throne. Very soon another contender stepped into the ring: [[Trey Connel]], who was CO of the [[Imperial Army]] back then. As it was easy to see that a prolonged civil war would harm the Empire, Grand Admiral [[Piett]] decided to use his superior military strength to end the war before it began.

Eventually both Veynom and Connel accepted Piett as Emperor. Connel retained his position as Army CO, while Veynom succeeded Piett as supreme commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. For about a year the Empire flourished under the reign of Emperor Piett. The Imperial Navy under Grand Admiral Veynom rose in strength and became an efficient weapon in the service of the Emperor.

Following this period of stability and peace, however, a series of crises began to plague the Empire. It started with Connel accusing Veynom of plotting against the Emperor. In response, Piett chose to relieve both Veynom and Connel — as well as their suspected fellows in crime — of command.

In the end both Veynom and Connel were acquitted of all charges. Soon after Piett left the Galactic Empire. He placed Connel, his Chief of Staff, in charge, who soon assumed the position of Emperor. Immediately before Veynom could be appointed Chief of Staff, he left.

He set out for the Unknown Regions, for he received a call as well. He was summoned to fight a danger that was threatening the existence of the whole galaxy.

Although he has not returned so far, the whole galaxy received a message from him on Y2 D326 that caused a frantic race for the technology Veynom had discovered in the Unknown Regions.

=Biography=
==Early Days==

[[Image:Super L-500 Liner.jpg|right|thumbnail|L-500 Liner Odyssey]]

In the beginning there were twins, both boys. They were born onboard the civilian Super L-500 Liner ''Odyssey of the Galaxian Stars Line'' on its way from [[Coruscant]] to the [[Outer Rim]]. Their father, Ulrich Toikalen, was a young engineer, just promoted as director of an important Tibanna Gas mine on a far away planet. So he and his family had to leave Coruscant with Moira, his wonderful wife and his two sons, Gorn and Enlil.

But their destiny it was not. After two thirds of the journey, the ''Odyssey'' had to jump out of hyperspace for mysterious reasons. It was not an accident but a trap. Space pirates ambushed them. They wanted gold, money, rape and blood.

[[Image:Nebulon-B Frigate.jpg|left|thumbnail|Nebulon-B Frigate Gloria]]

The Imperial Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' arrived twelve hours later. By that time, the ''Odyssey'' was nothing more than a wreck or, worse, a huge coffin. The ship's log of the ''Gloria'' indicates that it was a wild massacre. His crew speaks about raped girls and mutilated bodies. An ocean of blood, a mountain of horror. None survived.

None? Not exactly. But listen to Lieutenant Zack, the Security Officer of the Imperial Frigate:

"''As my section and I were exploring the wreck of the Odyssey, hoping discovering some survivors. I was shocked by the violence and the atrocities of those pirates. How can it be possible ? The ship was full of silence as none of my soldiers dared speaking. The Odyssey has become a coffin. Suddenly, we heard crying. After hard investigations, we finally discovered 2 little babies hidden in a ventilation duct. As they were sleeping during the pirates' assault, none could find them and hunger just saved their life. It was not less than a miracle.''" — Lieutenant Zack - Nebulon-B Frigate ''Gloria'' Security Officer

The twins were brought to Carida. Many Imperials were touched by the tragedy of the twins and all was done to assure their future. The twins were taken in charge by an Imperial institution.

Six months later, the Naval Intelligence discovered the hidden base of the nicknamed "Bloody Mad Killers." The Imperial Navy desired to make an example. The Victory Class Star Destroyer ''Vindicator'' was sent to annihilate the mighty base. The orders were: "No mercy for that scum." The pirates were surprised when they saw the shadow of the ''Vindicator'' in the sky and knew their last hour coming. The surprise was so that stormtroopers' squadron could land with particular ease. The Commanding Officer was someone named Captain Zack. All pirates died; there were no prisoners.

The Empire had planned to send the twins for their 12th birthday to an Imperial Training Academy on Yinchorr, near the center of the galaxy. But a few days before leaving Carida, Yinchorr was struck by a terrible earthquake. The almost total destruction of Yinchorr severely damaged the Imperial Training Academy.

One consequence among others was that the twins had to survived by themselves as nobody had time to take care of them. It was a dark time for the Empire. They joined a bunch of smugglers and gained experience. From this time, their personalities began to be revealed. One was taciturn but an excellent leader. He was quickly nicknamed Black Leader. The other revealed excellent tactical aptitudes and leadership, loving justice and order. He was as courageous and clever. He was Gorn Veynom.

==Joining the Empire==
A few years later (circa Year -2 Day 315), they decided to join the emerging new Empire lead by Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]. A new order seemed to be rising. This was exactly what they were waiting for. Their ways separated there.

As Black Leader did not find that Empire as strong, powerful and active as he wished, he planned to overthrow Warlord Vodo. He discretely contacted some young Imperials and was preparing nothing less than a revolution.

For the first time, Veynom did not follow his brother. For him, all this was putting the Empire in a state of weakness and he had other ideas in mind. At this time, he met an Imperial named Rahvin. Both wished to create a new special elite squadron.

But dramatic events were going on. Black Leader made an alliance with other young Imperials lead by Wicket. Fortunately, the officers' majority was against them. The Empire was near to split. Veynom could not support that, he could not support a second fall of the Empire.

There was only one solution. One night Veynom came talk to his brother. He used all of his talented psychological capacities but he was losing his time. Black Leader's aim was the full control of [[the galaxy]], ruling by terror and chaos. All that was far from Veynom's ideal. Veynom had no choice yet. Two days later, Warlord Vodo received a strange heavy pack with a letter.

"''Your Highness,'' ''My trial to create a powerful Empire went down. All I did was splitting the Empire. I decided to avoid such awful situation. All I ask is the pardon for my allies. From now, they will be loyal to your Empire. As prove, you will find my head in this box.''" — Black Leader

In fact, things did not happen exactly like that. Veynom has had to kill his brother. Then he contacted Wicket and all dissidents and promised them to spare their life if they forgot their ideas of rebellion and loyalty serve the Empire. That day, Veynom saved many lives and maybe the Empire too. But he lost his brother. His pain was indescribable. From that moment, he promised to always hide his secret. None knows the true, except [[Wicket]] maybe who is now Commander in the Imperial Navy.

==The European Division==
[[Image:European Division.gif|right]]

During this dark period of time around Year -1 Day 65, [[Rahvin]] contacted [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] and asked for permission to create a new search & destroy elite squadron. This squadron would practice [[round-the-clock war]] principles. [[Vodo Bonias|Warlord Vodo]] agreed. The [[European Division]] was born. It was under direct authority of Defense Minister [[Spytek]]. [[Rahvin]] was promoted to Colonel and CO of the Army squadron. Later, he promoted Veynom to Major with charge of leading the Naval composent of the [[European Division]].

==A Career Dedicated to the Imperial Navy==
Around Year -1 Day 95, the European Division had to split into an Army division led by Colonel [[Rahvin]] (under the authority of General [[Nlyn]]) and a Navy division led by Commander Veynom (under authority of Admiral [[Piett]]). Commander Veynom was assigned a Bulk Cruiser as flagship of the unit.

In the beginning, it was just a little squadron. Step by step, it became a full fleet. Commander Veynom could find very efficient help at that time with Imperials like [[Spookie]] and [[Mouse Droid Eole|Eole]].

[[Image:3rd Naval Recon Division.JPG|left|125px]]

The European Navy soon become the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet and Commander Veynom was promoted to Commodore by Grand Admiral [[Piett]] on Year -1 Day 112. Eole was the Fleet's lieutenant while Spookie was promoted to Commander and led the Escort & Supply part of the fleet.

New recruits joined the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet. Others Imperials proved their efficiency and their loyalty, such as Lieutenant [[Ptjedi]], leader of the Escort Company, Ensign Cohosh, Commander Wicket, leader of the Assault Company and all the others. With the growth of the fleet, Veynom's Bulk Cruiser flagship was replaced by a Victory Class Star Destroyer around Year -1 Day 180. However, this VSD was replaced around Year -1 Day 210 by an Imperial-class Star Destroyer: the Blitzkrieg. The 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet had become an elite division, creating respect and fear among the Empire's enemies while most of the upper names became part of the Imperial legend.

A change in the Imperial strategy forced the 3rd Naval Recon & Strike Fleet to be dissolved and most of its members where assigned to the 2nd Imperial Fleet. These times around and after Year 0 Day 40 saw the emergence of even more dedicated officers such as [[Gunther von Esling]] or [[Jennifer Dreighton]] who could help Veynom who was promoted to Fleet Admiral On Year 0 Day 45.

[[Image:2nd Imperial Fleet.jpg|right|150px]]

But his command at the head of the 2nd Imperial Fleet did not last long. As a few months later, [[Emperor]] [[Spytek]] decided to leave the throne. The Empire was thrown into chaos. [[Rank|Grand Admiral]] [[Piett]] could re-establish the situation by seizing the throne and imposing his vision of the Empire. To succeed him at the head of the Navy, he chose Gorn Veynom, his loyal, dedicated and efficient Admiral. On that day, Gorn Veynom became Grand Admiral and commanding officer of the Imperial Navy in service of Emperor Piett.

It was the golden age of the Imperial Navy. With the assistance of his Executive Officer, [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]], it grew to a never seen before size and the organization reached an unequaled level of efficiency and accuracy. Many department were born and worked hard for that: The Naval Personnel Assignment Office (INPO) of Commodore Jennifer Dreighton, the Naval Intelligence Services (INIS) of Admiral Gunther von Esling, the Naval Academy (INA) of Directors [[Machkhit]] and [[Jodo Kast]]. During this time, the Headquarters of the Imperial Navy were transferred to [[Kuat]].

All this did not happen without problems and many of these problems came from internal rivalries inside the Imperial High Command. Worse, at some time, the Dark Side called for the Emperor. And with him a good part of the Empire's glory faded. And even as it was not enough, barely a few months later, Gorn Veynom himself was summoned in the Unknown Regions by the Dark Side. He is currently still there, appearing from time to time on the Imperial Holonet or at a banquet but the date if his potential return is always in motion.

==Departure for the Unknown Regions==
On Year 1 Day 305, Veynom resigned from his position of [[Imperial Navy CO]], leaving [[Rank|Fleet Admiral]] [[Simms]] in charge of the Navy and left for the Unknown Regions onboard his personal Lambda shuttle: the Overlord. His loyal aide-de-camp, Lieutenant [[Tarlik]] decided to resign from the Imperial Navy and follow his master come with him throughout this long and uncertain journey. Technicians who prepared Veynom's shuttle also reported that a [[Mouse Droid Eole|Mouse droid]] was present in the Overlord shuttle prior to departure.

==A Career filled with Controversy==
Historians agree upon stating that while Gorn Veynom's career in the Imperial Navy has been quite phenomenal, it still includes a few shadows and his records are not exempted of troubled times. During his exceptional career, Gorn Veynom indeed underwent three different trials, each time under the same accusation of High Treason but each time, he got cleared of the charges.

The first accusations were raised on Year 0 Day 25 by none else that his own right arm: Commander [[Fox Spookers]], XO of the 3rd Recon. Emperor [[Spytek]] himself cleared Veynom of all charges of treason around Y0 D40.

Around Year 1 Day 170, Chief of State [[Trey Connel]] accused Veynom of high treason and relieved him of command - before being himself also accused of treason and also relieved of command. After barely avoiding an Imperial civil war between the Imperial Navy and Army, a long trial started under administration of [[High Inquisitor]] [[Thomas Cherokee]]. Veynom's defense was ensured by Lieutenant [[Adar Machkhit]]. This trial is often referred to as being the deep root cause and the trigger for the later [[Imperial Core]] sedition. Ultimately however Emperor [[Piett]] cleared them both of all charges around Year 1 Day 200.

The third case started quickly after as, almost immediately after accessing the throne - around Year 1 Day 212 - Emperor [[Trey Connel]] accused again Veynom of disobedience and high treason, this time using a fallacious pretext concerning the supposed liberation of Captain [[Michael Pangborn]]. Another long trial was expected and the just buried animisities between the Navy and Army quickly started to resurect. Emperor Connel even suspended Grand-Admiral Veynom from duty for 14 days starting Year 1 Day 277 and also permanently denied him consideration for the position of Vice-Emperor. This last humiliation was extremely badly received by the Imperial Navy Command and particularly Fleet Admiral [[Simms]] and Admiral [[Gunther von Esling]]. It also probably explains Veynom did not stay to attend his trial as he had for the previous one. Instead he gave into the powerful call of the Dark Side and left the Empire for the Unknown Regions on Year 0 Day 305. Despite Veynom's departure which took place before the [[Imperial Core]] creation of Year 1 Day 307, Emperor [[Trey Connel|Connel]] announced on Year 1 Day 310 that Veynom was cleared of all charges against him. This late announcement did not solve the Imperial Core crisis as the damages were too deep.

==Know Appearances==
===From The Ashes===
A message sent by Veynom on Year 2 Day 326 from the Unknown Regions is at the origin of the [[From The Ashes]] battle and its consequences. His [[From_The_Ashes#Third_Transmission|third transmission]] from the Unknown Regions clearly demonstrates that at that time he was not aware of the [[Galactic_Empire#The_Great_Break.2C_the_Imperial_Core_and_the_Dark_Empire|the great crisis]] among the [[Galactic Empire]], the departure of many Imperials and Sith, and the creation of the [[Imperial Core]].

===Spotted by Rebels===
On Year 3 Day 231, Gorn Veynom was spotted by [[Lacey De Vries]], a Noghri reporter from [[Omega Order Vehicles]]. Upon an attempt to interview him, Lacey witnessed firsthand what he later mentioned as the brutality and anti-alien sentiment of the [[Galactic Empire]]. Witnessing the scene, [[Acria Larkin]] former member of [[Rebel Alliance]] High command stepped forward to defend the young interviewer, as did her fellow Noghri. A heated discussion ensued between Acria Larkin and Gorn Veynom. Acria Larkin approached the former Admiral staring him directly in the eye before addressing him. The ensuing discussion involved Acria appealing to the humane side of the former Admiral.

These two biased witnesses reported later that Gorn Veynom drew a blaster and aimed it directly for Mrs. Larkin. It was at this point that Lacey De Vries stepped between the two and managed to save Acria’s life but in doing so was herself injured. A further unconfirmed admission from Admiral Veynom that he felt no remorse or sympathy for “that animal” referring to the injured Noghri enraged Acria Larkin and the standoff continued.

At this stage [[Rostar]] the owner of [[Biotech|Biotech Solutions Inc]] and high priest of the [[Tafanda Bay]] Herdship arrived on the scene to give medical attention to the injured Lacey. [[Tembre Fe`ll]] also joined the scene at this point to offer the wounded Noghri aid.

From this point the situation degraded into an all out pub brawl in which Admiral Veynom used his force powers to choke Acria Larkin. Flocking to her aid were a Noghri, Tembre Fell, an injured Lacey De Vries and many others in the ensuing chaos Tembre Fell and Acria Larkin were severely wounded and transported to the medical bays of BSI. [[Derfflinger Von Seydlitz]] and Lacey De Vries were heavily wounded but capable of leaving the scene under their own accord.

When approached later on for official statements on the matter Tembre Fell refused to comment on the scuffle and Admiral Veynom was unavailable for questioning. Mrs Acria Larkin however had the following to say:

{{quote
|quote = Recently in an unplanned event, Ex-Admiral Gorn Veynom of the Galactic Empire and myself met in a public place. As a result of this meeting a heated conversation took place, which escalated into a physical fight involving both him and myself and a number of innocent bystanders attempting to preserve the peace. In response to my verbal baiting, the Admiral made use of the force against other beings and made racial and sexual comments of a derogatory nature”.
| person = [[Acria Larkin]]
}}

===Imperial Navy on Fire===
During Year 6, Grand Admiral Veynom also participated as moderator to [[Slicer#The NIO Rebellion (Year 6)|secret negociations]] between Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] and Admiral [[Slicer]]. The later non-adoption of the resulting agreement lead to the rebellion of various Imperials who defected in order to found another group named the [[New Imperial Order]].

==Rumors==
[[File:WarmasterVey.png|150px|thumb|border|right|Warmaster Veynom (supposition)]]Various rumors fly around concerning Veynom since his departure for the unknown regions. It is periodically reported that Veynom could come back one day to serve the Empire - or rule it - even if no evidence ever supported this. Other rumors tell that Veynom would have met an unknown race and discovered new technologies that would allow him to come back to devastate the known and unknown galaxy.

On a totally different level, Gorn Veynom is rumoured to own one of the very few - and rare - complete [[PlayImp]] Magazine collections.

From The Ashes

2012-03-14T13:24:12Z

Veynom: /* Third Transmission */ Fixing an error

{{Stub}}

'''From The Ashes''' refers to events put into motion by the three transmissions sent by retired Grand Admiral [[Gorn Veynom]] circa [[Year 2|Year 2 Day 326]] from the [[Unknown Regions]]. Many notable events occurred during this time period such as the merger between [[The Core]] and the [[Dark Empire]] on [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 94]]. Also, there were several technological breakthroughs including [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]'s [[Galactic Empire]] developing the [[Imperial Escort Carrier]].

==Background==
The era had been marked by turmoil. The [[Galactic Empire]] had been contested by the [[Rebel Alliance]] and dissident Imperials from the [[Imperial Core]]. Hate, fear, anger and death were daily occurrences.

===First Transmission===
On Year 3 Day 327, a low-quality communication was sent through the Holonet over a rarely used, public channel. Slowly an image appeared, the quality was twisted with parasites and receiving people had to wait for long seconds before recognizing the character. Then many wished they had not recognized him. For some, he meant hope, for others he only meant fear: [[Gorn Veynom]], the retired Grand Admiral of the [[Imperial Navy]].

{{quote
|quote = Imperials, I come to you today with important news for our Empire. I have decided to interrupt my quest in the Unknown Regions in order to communicate to you all some information of the highest importance. The Unknown Regions have delivered some of their secrets to me. On an remote world, I have discovered remains of an old lost civilization and their technology, incredible technology. And I want it to serve our cause, our cause only. I will send more information soon ... but my communications time is extremely reduced to the unique configuration of this solar system. The advantage is that none can track the origin of the transmission. The inconvenient is that I can only use a public channel of the Holonet ... Long live the Empire ...
| person = Grand Admiral Veynom
}}

The image then faded, a evil laugh could still be heard, mixed with parasites.

===Second Transmission===
Seven days had passed since the mysterious initial transmission from [[Gorn Veynom]] was broadcast to the entire Galaxy. During that period, countless operators have been listening to the Holonet day and night, hoping to get something more. The well disciplined Imperials had organized the constant record of all signals sent through the Holonet everywhere in the Empire, the rebels had installed mini Holo-receivers aboard most of their always-in-motion capital starships in order to prevent any disaster, and countless other people were trying to know more in order to track a possible personal profit from the operation.

And suddenly on Year 2 Day 334, all these efforts were paying ... a signal was arriving ... a very disturbed and parasited signal. In fact, the signal was so jammed and full of parasites that only bits could be capted. Historians later gathered that different groups managed to receive more or less information from the transmission. based on their technology.

Records reveal that the [[Imperial Core]] was the first group able to complete the missing bits of information and decypher the message within a mere 12 hours of its transmission. Other groups succeeded as well within a few additional days. Ultimately, the entire Galaxy could learn the full content of Veynom's message:

{{quote
|quote = Imperials, The situation here on Marharawen has evolved to a worse. A Jedi Master named Bodo Baas arrived two days ago. Fortunately, the powerful magnetic fields that I suppose to be of Sith origins and that are already hiding my transmission vector, damaged his shuttle beyond repair. I observed him since then, helped and hidden by some old Sith spirits and he is looking to destroy the technology and remnants I discovered. My untrained powers even coupled with the remaining Sith spirits are not enough to annihilate him definitively. I require and deeply recommend to a powerful Sith warrior to come and eliminate him as soon as possible as I estimate I will not be able to slow down that Jedi scum's researches for more than two standard months. I hope to get instructions or at least an acknowledgement from Imperials. I will meanwhile think to a safe and coded way to transmit my location through this public channel which is the only way I have.
| person = Grand Admiral Veynom
}}

The first answer broadcasted through the Galaxy came from [[Jennifer Dreighton|Lady Dreighton]] of the [[Imperial Core]].

===Third Transmission===
The third transmission arrived on Y3 D 4 of the Galactic New Era. Since weeks, the entire Galaxy had been retaining its breath. Millions of tech-operators had been sitting endlessly in front of their Holonet terminal.

It was not yet dawn on Coruscant and at that hour all Imperial sentinels still struggled against sleep except for Emperor [[Charon]] who was already up watching Capital Center through the windows of his Palace, he had an Empire to guide.

Nightfall had barely fallen on Corellia and people got prepared to go out. Tatooine was burned by the noon sun. On Hapes, the King was having is daily royal bath while in the middle of space the Rebel High Command were preparing the next elections. On Dathomir, the governor was sleeping - snoring - and in the shadows of all these important places or characters were Sith, spying them, watching them, plotting against them.

It was not yet dawn and suddenly the red light signaling an incoming transmission bleeped. Right away, millions of recorders began their task. Thousands of messengers ran to alert their superiors. Among the first alerted people was the King of Hapes. Still in his bath, he sighed, sank his head under the water for a few seconds then stood up on his feet and declared royally:
{{quote
|quote = Off with my bath!
| person = King [[Jessy James]]
}}
Happily his servants had the appropriate reflex to immediately cover his royal nudity.

The first to read the message was the Emperor. The first? Not exactly. From his Mediation Chamber aboard his flagship, Sith Master [[Piett]] had felt something. He knew the incoming transmission was of the highest importance for him and as millions of other operators, he activated the reception.

The third transmission was still awfully japped and full of parasites, making it impossible for anyone or even any group to receive it completely. Moreover, part of the message was encrypted, making it even harder for anyone to decipher. Ultimately, once the message could finally be completed and decrypted, its true meaning was hidden inside riddles that only people close to [[Gorn Veynom]] could decipher.

Once the message could be completed and decrypted, it produced the following message:
{{quote
|quote = Imperials, I am rather surprised to receive three answers from three seemingly different Imperial factions while it should have been unique. As I have not the time or the possibility to decide who should get it, I will reveal the location to the most capable faction. Considering I have extremely reduced encryption programs here I will not reveal the coordinates of the X-110 system directly. Among my discoveries, I found out a very old limited communications system, probably of Krath origins. I could hide my coordinates in the terminals of the Krath network. And I will use the encryption program of my datapad to give the location of one of the systems where you will find a node of the network. The encryption key is as suggested by Lady Dreighton. The decryption key is the name of one of our oldest Star Destroyers, previously commanded by the Imperial First Lady. Once decoded, switch the coordinates. I am waiting for the best of you. Follow Bodo Baas direction. The fleet where the Emperor began his career. The maximum number of Imperial Personnel Offices plus Loki. The number of fleets in the old 2nd Quadrant minus the number of days between two mandatory reports under Grand Moff Lodge in the good old days. Follow my direction. The number of time I have been accused of treason minus the number of times I was judged guilty. The number of letters in the name of the only Falleen Imperial Admiral that ever existed minus the one of my loyal bodyguard. The number of secret children I have.

}}

Solving the riddles was not easy and many simply gave up. However, patience, skills and dedication paid off and the coordinates of X-110 could be deciphered. X-110 was located at (-300, +170).

Upon fading, the holo left a Galaxy in turmoil, except on Dathomir where the governor could not be awaken. He had fur in his ears, of course he was only but a Wookie.

It was not yet dawn and in the Imperial Palace and a Moff was abruptly awaken by the very electronic noise of a small Mouse droid. While the droid was kindly doing its best to sing a “Happy Birthday Quel-Droma”, in an incomprehensible binary language, [[Kirov Quel-Droma]] was only irritated by the disturbing noise and grabbed a boot to throw it at the droids. Not being fully awake, his boot missed the droid but reached the huge window, breaking through. The Mouse droid did not insist and left the room quickly. The door was not closed yet that Kirov’s terminal beeped, four messages were waiting for him: first a happy birthday message from his mummy, then a notification that a transmission from Veynom had arrived, then again a Palace report of the window damage and costs being deduced from his next salary, and finally a report from the Palace Guard about a sentinel being attacked by terrorists bombing them with boots. He immediately thought that that particular day would be very very long …

On Year 3 Day 46, Director [[Ma'karr Quaxo]] of the [[Imperial Core]] posted on the [[GNS]] that this third transmission was first decoded by the [[Imperial Core]], then the [[Hapes Consortium]] then the [[Rebel Alliance]]. The riddles were only solved by the Imperial Core at first followed by the [[Rebel Alliance]]. The Imperial Core used the GNS to demonstrate to the galaxy their superiority and the the complete disappointing non-appearance of the Galactic Empire during these events. Such announcement shows how long it took the entire galaxy to know that the message had been decoded and the riddles resolved.

'''Matrel Byden''' — also known as '''Targeter''' — was a [[Human]] [[:Category:Females|female]] who became a highly decorated Imperial officer in the [[Imperial Navy]] and served in various capacities in the [[Imperial Army|Army]] and judiciary. She later was appointed [[Grand Vizier]] of the [[COMPNOR|Commission for the Preservation of the New Order]].

==Biography==
Byden enlisted in the [[Galactic Empire]] circa [[Year -3]] and was assigned to the Second Naval Recon, Sword Squadron. She was quickly promoted to Lieutenant and executive officer of Sword Squadron in Year -2 and eventually was appointed to the bench in the newly-created Imperial Judiciary. After serving for several months in that capacity, she returned to the Navy and was appointed Vice Admiral [[Mccarthur|Mccarthur's]] executive officer in the [[Red Fleet]] also known as the [[Imperial Command Fleet]] (ICF). She eventually became CO of the ICF upon Mccarthur reassignment and selected with Captain [[Ratman]] as XO. Back then she commanded the ISD Eradicator.

After a leave of absence, she was reassigned to the [[First Naval Recon]] as its commanding officer in Year 1. Little is known of Byden's career between her command in the First Naval Recon and her appointment as General of the [[Imperial Security Bureau]] under [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]. It was during this period that she dropped her assumed name of Targeter and became known as Matrel Byden.

During the [[Second Imperial Civil War]] that ravaged the galaxy circa Year 3, Byden played a prominent role in Charon's campaign to exterminate Warlord [[Vodo Bonias]]' [[Dark Empire]]. Together with [[Grand Admiral]] [[Black Lodge]], Byden supported the creation of the [[Hutt Council]] as an [[Imperial]] [[Wikipedia:suzerainty|suzerainty]]. The latter syndicate became the apex of a propaganda war between Charon's Empire and Bonias' separatist movement. In the eyes of Warlord Bonias, it was contemptible that a [[Human|humanocentric]] regime such as Charon's Empire should publicly align itself with a criminal syndicate of Hutts. On [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 240]], the Hutt Council captured [[Black Sun]] [[Vigo]] [[Acria Larkin]] and extradited her to Byden's Imperial Security Bureau to be arraigned for high crimes against the Empire.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021028020800/http://swcombine.com/news/ic/ICtopic.php?msgid=698 GNS: "Black Sun Fiasco" - Year 3 Day 240] (Archived)</ref> The event would later result in the resignation of Larkin's husband, Aves Larkin, from the Falleen Federation, and a cold war between the Empire and Black Sun.

Some months later, negotiations commenced for the reunification of the Dark Empire and Galactic Empire. Charon, ever distrustful of Vodo and his followers, agreed to the merger reluctantly but retained his position as Emperor. Count [[Greyson Uebles]], an Imperial aristocrat and member of the Dark Empire, was appointed Executor. Many Dark Empire officers were similarly integrated into the Galactic Empire in a variety of positions. These same officers would later use their positions to overthrow Charon. Warlord Vodo formed a secretive fleet outside the chain of command that incorporated many loyal and high ranking officers as well as several Dark Jedi. Later this sect would become known as the [[List of Imperial Branches#Order of the Dark Hand|Order of the Dark Hand]]. Vodo also managed to preserve the secretive MJ-12 intelligence branch which had been essential in the Dark Empire's success.

As the months passed, the merger between the Galactic Empire and Dark Empire proved disastrous. Suspicion and in-fighting were rampant. It was at this time, the terms "[[Charonist]]" and "[[Vodoist]]" arose to describe those who remained loyal to Charon and those who supported Vodo in his bid for the Imperial throne respectively. Eventually, Charon ordered Byden to arrest Vice Admiral [[Jennifer Dreighton]] for a protocol violation. At the time, Dreighton was commander of the Dark Hand Fleet and a personal confidant of Vodo Bonias. The arrest of Dreighton proved to be the final straw for Vodo's followers, who rose up against Emperor Charon. Executor Uebles seized the opportunity and [[Ascension of Greyson Uebles|ascended the throne]], overthrowing Charon as the new Emperor on Day 133 of Year 4.

==internal wiki name & namespace==
I think the two cola (or colons if you will) before the internal wiki name (and after it) <nowiki>{{NS:4}}</nowiki> as defined by $wgMetaNamespace in one of the PHP files cause some issues. For example when you edit a page look just beneath the edit box, you have there "Please note that all contributions to" and then abruptly new line as if tag <nowiki>::</nowiki> was used to indent a paragraph twice. Same thing in the third line where it not only breaks a line to start new paragraph, but also breaks a link to copyrights page... 
Could we remove the cola, or replace them with something else? --[[User:Xanyarr Chyakk|Xanyarr Chyakk]] 10:53, 3 April 2011 (GMT)
:actually why don't we just make it simply Holocron, thus making all http://holocron.swcombine.com/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Holocron&namespace=0 fall into the usual/default namespace of a wiki?
:and since we're already talking about namespaces, could we add GNS as a namespace, for all the GNS articles that have been imported lately, and will continue to be imported... --[[User:Xanyarr Chyakk|Xanyarr Chyakk]] 11:57, 3 April 2011 (GMT)

== Races ==

Why don't we put all Race information's into the category for the race and redirect from the race pages to the categories ? --[[User:Abyhsen Squeegor|Abyhsen Squeegor]] 10:53, 7 November 2011 (GMT)
:What about linking all Rules page about ships, races, items... to the corresponding Holocron page (if it exist) for additional information ? It could be really easy to do code wise (1-2 lines of code). Would yo ulike this ? [[User:Veynom|Veynom]] 17:27, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
::Yes, we would :P [[User:Jake Azzameen|Jake Azzameen]] 18:34, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
::I second that! :P Also, as suggested before, possibly add a link to each faction page!? :) [[User:Qatar Shendo|--Qatar Shendo]] 19:21, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
::I third that! Would be a real great addition! --[[User:Abyhsen Squeegor|Abyhsen Squeegor]] 23:16, 6 February 2012 (GMT)
::: Ok then propose me a nice wording or idea about how you want to see the link. Should it be an icon, a picture link, some text like link "Holocron::YT-1300" ... where to put it exactly, both on the rules page showing the detailed specs of entities and ont he faction page. :) [[User:Veynom|Veynom]] 08:20, 7 February 2012 (GMT)
:: I'm for an icon/picture kind of thing, that will probably get more people's attention. Does the Holocron have an icon/something similar? If not it would be awesome if someone could design something like that, that catches the flair of an archive (think Jedi Archives) you connect to for Information and the such. I suppose something like "For more in-depth Information you can proceed to the Holocron page of this Article: link". [[User:Qatar Shendo|--Qatar Shendo]] 20:44, 7 February 2012 (GMT)
::: I like the proposed text of Qatar, we could add that at the bottom of each page and have an icon linking to the holocron right next to the name of the planet, vehicle ... --[[User:Abyhsen Squeegor|Abyhsen Squeegor]] 17:58, 8 February 2012 (GMT)
::I think we need to have a standard naming format for pages linked to the Rules so that the linking can be done more seamlessly (ex: some sectors, systems, planets and/or races share the same name). We can make use of redirects to connect the standard naming format with one more appropriate for the Holocron. --[[User:Raith Starlight|Raith Starlight]] 01:22, 10 February 2012 (GMT)
::: Then it means many holocron pages will need to be renamed. Examples: Coruscant ==> planet/Coruscant or system/Coruscant. Also, Holocron pages will need the same name as the SWC Rules entity. Otherwise, i simply link to the entity name and we will have ambiguous names. Opinions [[User:Veynom|Veynom]] 21:48, 10 February 2012 (GMT) ?

Sector Adjutant '''Michael T. Pangborn''' was a decorated Imperial officer executed in Year 7 by the [[SoroSuub Corporation]] while leading a Special Forces team in enemy territory. Following his demise, a press release was issued by Moff [[Jake Kiltar]] who posthumously awarded Pangborn with the Imperial Gold Cross "for his work far above and beyond the call of duty."

==History==
Michael Pangborn joined the [[Galactic Empire]] during the first reign of [[Emperor]] [[Vodo Bonias]]. He later served in a variety of positions including: Director of Imperial Research & Development, Director of the Naval Intelligence Agency, Commanding Officer of the 1st Imperial Fleet, Provost General of the Imperial Academy, Navy Inspector General, Director of Imperial Management and Administration, Director of Resources and Allocation, Acting Minister of the Ministry of the Interior, and the 2nd in Command of the Oversector Outer Rim.

In Year 6, Pangborn played a crucial role in preserving the stability of the Empire. At the time, the controversial policies of Grand Moff Zerk incited a number of Imperial officers and enlisted men to revolt. However, Captain Pangborn rallied a majority of the revolt's supporters and signed a peace treaty with Emperor Vodo. This partly defused the situation and reduced support for the revolt. Those who did not sign the treaty formed the [[New Imperial Order]].

In Year 7, Pangborn led a Special Forces team into enemy territory to establish an Imperial foothold for future expansion with the [[Oversector Outer Rim]] when his team was ambushed by a squadron of SoroSuub mercenaries. Pangborn managed "to hold off the vile mercenaries long enough to allow his team to evacuate hundreds of thousands of citizens from the Tantra system, but was hit by enemy fire while placing the last refugees onboard the transport. Doctors at Khuiumin were unable to heal his injuries and Bacta had no effect. His sacrifice for the Imperial people will be long remembered."

==News report upon SA Pangborn's death.==

Khuiumin (Imperial News Service). It is with great sadness and regret that I bring you news of the assassination of Sector Adjutant Michael T. Pangborn by the SoroSuub Corporation. Sector Adjutant Pangborn was leading a Special Forces Team in enemy territory to establish an Imperial foothold for future expansion with the Oversector Outer Rim when his team was ambushed by a squadron of SSC mercenaries. Pangborn managed to hold off the vile mercenaries long enough to allow his team to evacuate hundreds of thousands of citizens from the Tantra system, but was hit by enemy fire while placing the last refugees onboard the transport. Doctors at Khuiumin were unable to heal his injuries and Bacta had no effect. His sacrifice for the Imperial people will be long remembered.

Sector Adjutant Pangborn had a storied history in the Empire. Originally working for Emperor Vodo eight years ago, Pangborn has served in a variety of positions, including the Director of Imperial Research & Development, Director of the Naval Intelligence Agency, Commanding Officer of the 1st Imperial Fleet, Provost General of the Imperial Academy, Navy Inspector General, Director of Imperial Management and Administration, Director of Resources and Allocation, Acting Minister of the Ministry of the Interior, and the 2nd in Command of the Oversector Outer Rim. His contributions to the Empire in the areas of command, leadership, and administration will be remembered throughout the Galactic Empire.

Today is officially declared a galaxy-wide day of mourning for our fallen comrade. May his soul rest with the force, and may his words and actions guide us in our future endeavors. It is my pleasure to posthumously award Sector Adjutant Pangborn with the Imperial Gold Cross, for his work far above and beyond the call of duty.

Behold, the walls amongst the heavens shall not contain us, and the ones who resist, shall be ingulfed in the flood of conflict, all hope shall be lost onto them. I shall bring war upon the heavens, and they who resist will be forced to fall back, back to the gates of hell. Imperial Order shall floorish among the undiscovered worlds, and I will take peace from all, unleashing great destruction amongst the stars, I will administer the Emperor's will, and the fires of hell shall devour all.. I shall met out my vengance upon all who resist, their blood will run in a great torrent.

Suntzu

2011-10-09T16:19:12Z

Veynom: Wrong year: Suntzu is Y-2, not Y2

{{stub}}

'''Suntzu''' was the second ''recorded'' [[Emperor|Emperor of the Galaxy]] circa [[Year -2]] and the earliest known commander of the [[Imperial Navy]]. He is perhaps best known for the brevity of his reign, which lasted only one month. Before his ascension to the [[Galactic Empire|Imperial Throne]], Suntzu was the Commander of the [[Imperial Navy]] and retained this position throughout his reign.

==Reign==
Suntzu's tenure as emperor occurred during the so-called "Dark Years," a turbulent era many Imperial chroniclers chose to forget. In the eyes of [[Charonist]] historians, Suntzu was a weak ruler and, during his brief reign, "the Imperial spirit itself was crushed beneath acts of corruption and treason." While the reliability of these sources is difficult to assess, what is known is that Suntzu enacted unpopular policies which caused dissent within the [[Galactic Empire]].

==Abdication==
The commander of the [[Imperial Army]], General [[Balseraph]], accused Emperor Suntzu of implementing policies that favored the Imperial Navy. Balseraph soon gained the support of a former emperor, [[Drayson]]. Together, Balseraph and Drayson formed the [[Order of Darkness]]. This latter collective claimed that Suntzu was a puppet of Vodo Bonias. As these beliefs gained prevalence, Suntzu was viewed as weak by his subjects and forced to abdicate.

There is some disagreement about which individual then became Emperor. The current ''Imperial History'' records Vodo Bonias as preceding Suntzu; however, the ''Annals of the Emperors'' and the ''Imperial Core War Library'' record Vodo as succeeding him. As such, the question remains whether [[Vodo Bonias]] or [[Spytek]] were chosen as Suntzu's successor.
