During the Galactic Civil War, he served as a soldier and Pilot before joining the ranks of Inferno Squad an elite-commando unit of the Empire. In the years which followed the war Gideon went on to become a Officer in the First Order founded by a group of loyalists who'd rejected this War outcome and rise of New Republic. A orphan from Kuat, Hask found an family with the Empire. Having honed combat-skills from a young age, Hask was selected by an Admiral Garrick Versio to join the Special Forces Inferno Squad unit. His bravery and dedication to the empire are matched only by the disdain for those who would stand in the way.

## Biography

### Imperial Service

This Kuat native **Gideon Hask** studied at Coruscant Imperial university where he'd graduated the top of his class. After he left the Imperial Academy, Hask served aboard *Mandate* and earned a Crimson Star for exceptional-performances against his enemies along with a promotion. After the Battle of Yavin, Gideon along with fellow Imperial operatives Iden Versio, Del Meeko and Seyn Marana, was drafted into an Inferno Squad, an Special Forces unit in the Imperial Military by Imperial ISB admiral Garrick Versio. Gideon Hask participated in Inferno's first mission to infiltrate and destroy a Rebellion group called Dreamers, an mission which was an success, but with a cost of the demise of their Inferno Squad-Operative Seyn Marana.

#### Fall of the Empire

Gideon Hask went on to participate with Inferno in conducting special operations throughout the Galactic Civil War, and four years into this war, fought at a Battle of Endor, which saw the death of Emperor Palpatine and destruction of Death Star II. Gideon flew alongside Iden at the Battle of Fondor, fighting against an Rebel attack on Moff Raythe, whose Star Destroyer transported Operation: Cinder Satellites. However, when this climate disruption array attacked Versio's home planet Vardos, she and Meeko both went rogue, though Hask remained loyal to this empire, succeeding in their original mission to extract Gleb to the Admiral Garrick Versio, who promoted Gideon to a Commander. While Versio and Meeko reformed Inferno Squad in the New Republic, Hask continued to serve Garrick Versio and their shattering Empire in the last year of their war. He oversaw fueling-operations at Bespin Chinook-Station and evaded capture when Iden and Del undertook a mission to this station. Gideon Hask went on to fight at the Battle of Jakku, where Hask took to the skies in the TIE Interceptor and engaged in a dogfight with Iden. Versio shot him down, however, and had seemingly ended him.

### First Order Service

The Imperials went on to lose the Battle of Jakku, then were forced to surrender to New Republic and sign the Galactic Concordance. Secretly the group of Imperial-Officers and loyalists were able to flee into the Unknown Regions, Gideon among them, selected as part of the secret-contingency. There they formed First Order, and he became a officer within the new faction. In addition to serving as commander of the *Resurgent*-Class Star Destroyer *Retribution*, he was also a participant of this Project Resurrection operation which aimed to conscript children for the purpose of training them into Stormtroopers. Thirty years after a Battle of Jakku, Meeko and his *Corvus* were captured by Jinata Security, which was affiliated with First Order. Hask confronted the former comrade one last time before killing him personally. He'd ordered Gleb to bury the bodies of Del and his crew but to leave *Corvus* alone, hoping to lure Iden into a trap and kill her. Some time later after Iden and Resistance member Shriv Suurgav seemingly found out Del was at Vardos being held by Gleb they returned to Vardos to locate Del and Gleb, but when they arrived they found Gleb was executed by the First Order.

Gideon later revealed to them that he killed Meeko in revenge for when he and Iden defected thirty years prior. He then ordered the *Corvus* destroyed in an attempt to kill Zay but she had survived in an escape pod. He then ordered to have Vardos burned and Iden Versio and Shriv Suurgav interrogated for information about this Resistance then executed but an conflict erupted between J-Sec and First Order-forces. Hask returned to his *Retribution* but Iden, Zay, and Shriv had followed him in stolen First Order TIE Fighters. They boarded this star destroyer just as it entered hyperspace and then went to destroy this ship-Hyperdrive with charges. Predicting this, Gideon Hask then snuck up on them and held Zay at gunpoint just as she had armed the last charge and began taunting Iden to shoot him, but Iden dropped her weapon as she didn't want to risk hitting her daughter. Disappointed in her cowardice, he berated her and aimed the pistol at her to kill her but Zay broke free of Gideon Hask's grip and tossed a Blaster to Iden where he was shot and fell off the catwalk and down into the pit in the ship Hyperdrive core killing Hask around the same time as the conflict at the Starkiller Base.
