Darg Saedrin, a human male native to Anaxes, was an Imperial Moff during the time of the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin IV, he was given the title of Grand Moff after the loss of Grand Moff Tarkin and many other High Commanding figures aboard the first Death Star. After the Battle of Endor, he led his loyalists and secured territory in the Outer and Inner Rims founding the Outer Rim Authority. Re-uniting the other remnants he now stands as Emperor of the Second Galactic Empire.

## History

### Early Life

Born on the world of Anaxes, Darg Saedrin lived a military styled childhood. His family had a long and respected history of military service in the Republic, no less was expected of himself. At the age of 17 he joined the local Republic Judicial Branch serving in the Outer Rim against pirates and criminal cartels. He excelled as a naval officer and served aboard the Arquitens class cruiser 'Hammer'.

During his time in the Outer Rim he distinguished himself as a capable leader, rooting out pirates and slavers in the Dosha system. Crushing the local Trandoshan pirate fleet, this would later lead to his promotion to the command of the 'Sovereign'.

While in his service in the Outer Rim, he had met Araina. A Republic SIS Agent she and Darg had served together on several missions. Eventually the two would marry. Finding time between their duties to live their lives together.

#### Clone Wars

When the Separatists and Republic tension eventually broke into all out war. Darg Saedrin served as a Captain aboard the Venator Class Destroyer 'Sovereign' under Admiral Yularen during the first few years of the war. Until he was transferred and given his own command in the Corporate Sectors.

Saedrin fought in several major conflicts during the Clone Wars including the Battle of Cato Nemodia, Second Battle of Geonosis, and the Battle of Utapau.

#### Galactic Empire

When the Clone Wars finally came to end, and the Republic reformed into the Galactic Empire. Saedrin took to a short time of leave from his duties in the navy to see to his pregnant wife to help raise their daughter. Before long his duties called once again, and he returned to the Imperial Navy.

He served in the Outer Rim once again fighting rogue elements and pirates to bring order and security to the galaxy. He was fully committed to the Empire and it's goal to bring the galaxy under one banner. Eventually however, his family had a schism. His wife had loyalties to the Old Republic and the democracy it stood for and couldn't hide the fact that she had been aiding rebel factions as a mole in the Empire. Unable to bring himself to turn her in, he allowed her to leave but he would raise their daughter. Alone to care for his daughter he did the only thing he knew how to do and pushed to expand his career in the Navy at the expense of being able to personally raise his own daughter.

Eventually, he was brought under Grand Moff Tarkin and served as an Admiral to help hunt down rebel cells in the Outer Rim. Coming into conflict against political naval officers he was offered the rank as a Moff but was put to a permanent station in the Outer Rim aboard the Super Star Destroyer Reaper. A station he proudly served, while any other officer would have considered it career ending experience.

#### The New Emperor

By the time of the Empire's collapse at the Battle of Jakku, Saedrin had obtained the rank of Grand Moff. It was a troubling time for the Emperor, Palpatine's contingency plans and Operation Cinder would result in the accelerated fall of the Empire. Many would follow those orders whilst others saw this as an opportunity to further their own career. Darg would disregard these orders to establish himself and what left he had in a Galactic foothold. Securing loyalties and a power base on Eriadu and the surrounding systems he had been able to maintain autonomy and control after the official surrender and the signing of the Galactic Concordance. Like many other "Warlords", Darg would reject this peace deal and would not conform to it's demands thus forming the Outer Rim Authority, an Imperial controlled area of space that would have goals of bringing the New Republic down and to unite the fragmented Empire. After a short time of skirmishes and political hardlining, two Imperial Remnants arose. The Confederacy to Restore the Empire and his Outer Rim Authority. The tension and differences between the two factions eventually lead to a successful attempt to overthrow the Confederacy by Admiral Julian Prell, whom Grand Moff Saedrin had convinced to use the democratic system of the confederacy to obtain power and overthrow the rival Warlord, Kanon.

After the success of this usurpation, Julian Prell and Grand Moff Saedrin signed a treaty officially creating the Second Galactic Empire. Julian assumed the role as a Moff along with several others, and the only democratic decision ever made by the Moff Council gave Saedrin the title of Emperor. Entrusting his with the Empire's future.

## Personality

Serious and often with a lack of sense for humor, Saedrin embodies the Empire for what it was meant to be, peace through order. An honorable man, he often appears cold and cunning. He sees responsibility for the Empire's survival entirely upon his shoulders. Alien or Human he considers all who fall under his Empire as citizens and thus require his protection and vigilance. Often quick to lose his temper, he has no patience for wasteful action or deception.
