## Biography

### Imperial Service

#### Rising Through Ranks

A male Human, **Adelhard's** career within the Galactic Empire began as an Imperial trooper within their Stormtrooper Corps. A true believer in the need for a strong Galactic Empire in the need to keep the galaxy from descending into chaos, he rose gradually in ranks. Years prior to the Battle of Yavin, Adelhard served as the junior advisor within the Imperial Military. When Empire forces received word of a base of dissidents on Anoat, the sector capital of the Anoat Sector, he'd ordered his forces to gas the planet, transforming the city-world into toxic waste dump. Many of the citizens believed that the incident was the result of an industrial accident, though a few were privy to the truth. Eventually, Adelhard would then became one of the rare Stormtroopers to become Imperial General. At a point prior to the Battle of Endor, Adelhard was made into a Governor in the Anoat Sector. Eventually, Adelhard would marry a woman who would end up being murdered by an secretive assassin group.

#### Governor of Anoat Sector

After the Battle of Endor, a cataclysmic defeat for the Empire in which the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star II and their Emperor, Darth Sidious, was killed, reports of the Imperials defeat began to circulate across the galaxy. The Empire claimed that these reports were lies propagated by the rebellion. When he'd learned that the Emperor was in fact killed, he locked the Anoat Sector down with the Iron Blockade and said that anyone who challenged the Empire in the sector would have to answer to him. The Iron Blockade led to an uprising against the Empire, one carried out by a collection of resistance fighters, bounty hunters, smugglers, and more. To combat this Uprising, the Empire used Purge Troopers led by Bragh, who reported to Adelhard. Adelhard had a chamber in the prime tower at an Bespin mining colony Cloud City.

In the months after the Battle of Endor, Lobot hired the pirate Kars Tal-Torla and his companions to capture the Imperial collaborator Borgin Kaa in order to extract an access code needed to open an access hatch that did lead to Adelhard's personal quarters. Once this hatch was opened, Lobot and an intrusion team planned to capture the Governor. Though Adelhard escaped, the planet was soon liberated by the uprising.By the time of the Battle of Jakku, Adelhard's Imperial forces had crumbled under Lando Calrissian's siege. Lando and Lobot led a joint force of Bespin Wing Guards and New Republic soldiers as they mopped up the remaining Imperial holdouts in Cloud City. Calrissian managed to convince an dozen Imperials holed up in the Bolo Tanga room to surrender by telling them the Governor Adelhard's claims were a lie.
