Rae Sloane

Rae Sloane was a human female dedicated to serving the Galactic Empire as a naval officer during its reign. While an Imperial cadet at the Defiance Flight Training Institute, she foiled a plot by Commandant Pell Baylo to assassinate Emperor Palpatine and his apprentice Darth Vader, and went on to rise through the ranks of the Imperial Navy.
Despite only filling in for the actual Captain, Yale Karlsen, who was on assignment to a construction committee, she was proud to have achieved captaincy of a capital ship by the age of thirty, an Imperial Star Destroyer called the Ultimatum. She was charged with escorting Count Denetrius Vidian to the planet Gorse and was subsequently drawn into the Gorse conflict, where she also encountered two rebels, Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla. During her tour of the Gorse system, Sloane foiled a plot by Vidian to destroy Gorse's moon, Cynda, and its thorilide reserves in order to enrich himself. Due to her efforts in saving Cynda and its thorilide reserves, Captain Sloane was given permanent command of the Ultimatum.
By 2 BBY, Sloane had risen through the ranks of the Imperial Navy to become a Vice Admiral. While stationed in orbit over the Imperial Center as the lead-ranking officer of the planet's blockade, Sloane was stunned when a Venator-class Star Destroyer, manned by Jedi Knight Jarik Shan, emerged from hyperspace directly in front of her own vessel. She was helpless to prevent the sudden surprise attack, and barely managed to escape the destruction of the Ultimatum by jumping into an escape pod. The Vice Admiral was commissioned a new Star Destroyer, the Vigilance, and joined Grand Admiral Thrawn with the Seventh Fleet to fill the spot left empty by Admiral Kassius Konstantine ― who had been recently executed by Darth Vader after disobeying direct orders in the Battle of Dxun ― and participated in the hunt for defected Senator Mon Mothma of Chandrila, as well as the Rebel Alliance's defeat at Battle of Atollon.
Present at the final stages of the Galactic Civil War, the Vice Admiral directed the retreats from the second Death Star's destruction at the Battle of Endor and — amassing command over loyalist figures as Grand Admiral — to the Unknown Regions following the Battle of Jakku, ensuring the continuation of the New Order through its reformation as the First Order, though it entailed a brief alliance with the reigning New Republic and Chiss Ascendancy in the Taken War against the extragalactic Hive invaders.
==Personality and traits==
Rae Sloane was an ambitious and loyal Imperial Navy officer who was devoted to serving Emperor Palpatine and his Galactic Empire. She was a tall, muscular human woman with dark skin and dark hair. A meritorious officer, Sloane joined the Imperial Navy in order to escape having to work in a shipyard or loading dock in her homeworld of Ganthel. While staunchly loyal, Sloane did not hesitate to question orders which she deemed treasonous and counterproductive to the Empire's interests.
While Sloane had no qualms about using force and harsh measures to impose Imperial order, she disliked how other Imperial officers took a sense of joy and amusement in pointless destruction and death. As an Admiral, Sloane was unwilling to waste Imperial lives and resources in reckless tactics.
