Heinraa Devilius

Heinraa Devilius was an ex military intelligence officer who, after the destruction of the first Death Star became a warlord forming the Devilius Alliance. Devilius used the destruction as a power vacuum claiming the Empire was now finished after their defeat at Yavin 4. He rallied close high ranking allies within the Imperial military and acquired an old class 1 Star Destroyer Named the Hatred, after which he began setting up trade roots that increasingly made him richer over time. 
A small outfit, the Devilius Alliance had just over 1500 men made up of disgruntled Stormtroopers - mostly with addiction issues to Death Sticks. Despite this, they were loyal to Devilius who payed them twice as much as the Empire would of, although some ex DA ST's claim he was a monster who would torture both his own men and even rather oddly, himself.
