As well as this he also took interest in psychology and sociology

Upon his posting, Maxon would meet then First Officer Malatche Styke and the two would become good friends as the war progressed.

## Battle of Xagobah

Xagobah was Korrado's first combat mission with the men of the newly christened Vanguard Battalion, was eventful, with the Separatists deploying a horrific bio-weapon that turned most of the local garrison into shambling, flesh eating monsters.

He was recalled to the Phalanx soon afterwards and had a brief interaction with Boba Fett, attempts to probe Fett for his intelligence failed and he was taken to Coruscant to meet with Chancellor Palpatine.

## Durge's Lance

## Foerost Campaign

Korrado, now a seasoned combat veteran, was determined to defend Anaxes no matter what it took. Upon Vanguard's arrival, and subsequent recapture of Fort Anaxes, Korrado went straight to work in establishing Republic supremacy throughout the region. Maxon was responsible for the capture of two of Admiral Dua Ningo's inner circle, including Commander Zurra Maylor and Commodore Merla, the latter of whom would provide invaluable intelligence regarding a separatist attack on Fort Anaxes.

Korrado would also play a role in putting an end to a local rebellion that had formed from disgruntled civilians who were angry at the detainment of the local law enforcement.

For his efforts on Anaxes, Korrado was promoted to Commander.

## Battle of Rendili

While Line Captain Styke attended to matters elsewhere in the war, Commander Korrado took command of the RV-Phalanx, from there he met with Commodore Adair to theorize what was taking the negotiations so long, in the last hours, a transmission from the Mersel Kebir revealed that Captain Dodonna and General Plo Koon had been taken hostage. Upon this revelation, Korrado raised the ship to standby to prepare for open combat. When Separatist warships exited hyperspace, Korrado as well as Wing Commander Skipper and the 72nd Starseekers fended off against several Separatist munificents as well as a Lucrehulk.

## Battle of Coruscant

Maxon Korrado, along with Commodore Ach Styke following the orbital

## Personality Traits

Maxon, since his academy days, has always been hard-nosed about his duty. He doesn't tolerate failure or disorder among those under his charge and will see the mission complete to perfection. As stubborn and perfectionist as Korrado may be as an officer, in small company, Korrado could be considered sarcastic and carefree in some regards.

## Relationships

### Malatche Styke

Despite an obvious difference in ideology and, in some cases, methodology, Maxon and Malatche manage to maintain a healthy friendship, bonding over their shared hatred of Dexter Jetser and his Diner.

### Keld'rr Ram'tii

While Maxon believes the Jedi are capable warriors, and astounding archivists and historians, he believes their role as General's in the Grand Army is an, at best, questionable and perhaps irresponsible decision on the senate's end.

Nonetheless, General Ram'tii and Maxon manage to sustain a working relationship as the General's extracurricular activities on behalf of the Jedi High Council sometimes require some historical data and the likes.

### Anakin Skywalker

Korrado, having limited experience with General Skywalker in person, is familiar with his exports throughout the war and believes him to be a petulant and impulsive lunatic with no respect for proper protocol and coordination

### Obi-Wan Kenobi

Kenobi, while proving himself to be a somewhat gifted strategist and leader, has, in Korrado's eyes, shown that he has little to no control over those under his charge and has fallen into the list of Jedi that Maxon believes shouldn't be leading troops into combat

### Wing Commander Skipper

Having served several times together, Korrado has come to respect CC-2855 as a leader however recent revelations revealed by Skipper have severely impacted Korrado's impression of the Clone.
