Grand Fleet

The **Grand Fleet** was a large armada of the Imperial Navy that was tasked with the retaking of Coruscant following its fall to the New Republic. The Fleet was placed under the command of General Reynar Thalen for the operation, and was almost completely annihilated.

## History

After the fall of Coruscant in 4 ABY to the New Republic, the remnants of the Imperial Ruling Council fled and convened on the world of Corsin. They appointed General Reynar Thalen as Emperor, who commanded a sizable force and promised to retake Imperial Center for them. The Grand Fleet was placed under his command for the operation.

He pooled what resources the Interim Ruling Council had available into his own force, putting together a large armada at a staging area near Borosk. They headed south from there, joining with additional units before arriving at Palanhi. The fleet restocked there and awaited some final joiners before heading to Coruscant. Its numerical strength, however, was offset by the fact that most of its crewmen and junior officers were inexperienced, as heavy losses have been taken by the Empire during the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle.

Additionally, the New Republic's admiralty anticipated an Imperial attempt to retake Coruscant, and had several fleets there prepared for battle. When the Grand Fleet arrived, it found itself surrounded and slightly outnumbered. Thalen's forces attempted to fight their way through, but were ultimately defeated by the New Republic defenders. After several hours of fighting, the highest ranking officer left alive, Admiral Regnauld, ordered the remaining ships to retreat. The only consolation to the defeat of the Grand Fleet was that Thalen rammed Gial Ackbar's flagship with his own vessel, killing the New Republic Supreme Commander.

Due to the losses and its internal conflict, the Empire would not mount such an ambitious offensive for the next few years.

## Order of battle

The Grand Fleet consisted of several fleets, which were:

* **Abbathorn Fleet**, commanded by Fleet Admiral Abbathorn (flagship *Conqueror*)
* **Kessius Fleet**, commanded by Admiral Kessius (flagship *Devastator II*)
* **Lastir Fleet**, commanded by Admiral Lastir (flagship *Terror*)
* **Regnauld Fleet**, commanded by Admiral Regnauld (flagship *Monarch*)

Thalen directed the armada from the supreme flagship, the *Glory*.

Asphalt Urban GT 2

## Introduction

Asphalt Urban GT 3 est un jeu-vidéo de couse développé et publié par Gameloft pour la Nintendo DS, la N-Gage et la PlayStation Portable (PSP). Une version pour téléphone mobile 2.5D Java ME a aussi été conçu.

La version Nintendo DS a été approximativement publié un an après la version pour N-Gage, avec des meilleurs graphiques, son, et possibilité de jouer à double écran. La version pour PSP a été quant à elle disponible en Mars 2007.

## Expérience de jeu

Asphalt GT 2 est fréquemment comparé à Burnout, Need for Speed et d'autres titres parce que les joueurs ont la possiblité d'éliminer les joueurs en les plaquant, et en évitant du mieux la police. Il y a un baromètre de recherche, qui détermine à quel intensité la police recherchera le joueur, un peu comme dans le jeu Grand Theft Auto. Si la lumière rouge "WANTED" est en train de clignoter, cela veut dire que le joueur doit faire de son mieux pour éviter la police, ou il sera forcé de se rendre et de perdre son argent.

Oversector

An **Oversector** was a division of galactic territory utilized by the Galactic Empire, comprised of many sectors. A Grand Moff led an Oversector, appointed personally by the Emperor. A Grand Moff superseded the authority of his constituent Moffs, planetary governors, and other local authorities as a means to further combat the growing Rebellion and other criminals, whom had been able to escape imprisonment by escaping into another Sector where a Moff was unable to deploy his forces to. Thus, Grand Moffs were created, at Wilhuff Tarkin's recommendation, to use every resource to combat the Rebellion.

At the Empire's height, there were many Oversectors. However, with the utter collapse of the Imperial state in 4 ABY, followed by years of civil war and territorial loss, the number of Oversectors dwindled vastly. With the reorganization of the Empire under Vastir Tokrev and his successors, the number of Oversectors is few, ranging anywhere from three to a dozen. This was done as a means to compensate for the vast loss in military forces and men worthy of the prestigious title.

Field Stormtrooper

**Field stormtroopers**, also known as **field troopers**, were higher ranking stormtroopers with superior field experience and weaponry in the service of the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. Equipped with E-11 blaster rifles, rail detonators or Imperial Repeater Rifles, they were commonly seen supporting regular stormtrooper riflemen during field operations. They were easily recognized by their yellow, orange, or red pauldrons.
Imperial Advisor

*"We rule through might and fear - fear of the chaos that would ensue should the Imperial government falter. Who better than the most educated, well-trained, highly civilized elite to lead the lesser beings who know nothing about maintaining culture and organization?"*
—Ars Dangor
The **Imperial Advisors** were the elite group of politicians most close to the Galactic Emperor. The Advisors were appointed by the Emperor and hailed from hundreds of different planets across the Galactic Empire. In order to prevent his Advisors from gaining too much power, the Emperor consulted only a dozen at a time and assigned his Advisors to gather information about rival Advisors. He then appointed only some of his Advisors to the Imperial Ruling Council, the executive body of the Empire and one of the most powerful institutions in the Empire. This created an atmosphere of fear and greed that discouraged the Advisors from forming alliances and bound them to the Emperor.

Imperial Advisors would perform administrative tasks and duties, such as appoint Imperial Governors, Moffs, and other servants of the Galactic Empire as designated by the Emperor. It was Imperial Advisor Ars Dangor who officially appointed Moff Wilhuff Tarkin to the rank of Grand Moff.

At the height of the Empire in 4 ABY there were several thousand Advisors, of which only a few dozen were appointed to the Ruling Council. The post-Endor chaos resulted in the near extinction of the Advisor class, although several remained to serve aboard the Interim Ruling Council.

Lieutenant General

The rank of **lieutenant general** was a common military rank used in various armies across the galaxy. A lieutenant general was immediately above a major general and directly subordinate to a general.

## Imperial usage

A lieutenant general in the Imperial Army is an intermediate rank, with no clearly defined area of command in the Imperial Army Order of Battle. It is possible a lieutenant general commanded one or more corps, or served as an assistant or staff officer to a full-fledged general.

## New Republic

The rank was also used in the New Republic Army, often as a commander of an army group or as the director of a department on Army Command.
Sergeant

**Sergeant** was a military and police force rank that represented a non-commissioned officer of substantial experience or responsibility. It was usually immediately below warrant officer and above corporal. This rank, and its derivatives, were often the third tier of enlistment in most militaries, and the second tier of responsibility in police forces.
Reynar Thalen

**Reynar Thalen** was an Imperial General who briefly became the Galactic Emperor after the Battle of Endor.

## Biography

Thalen was a Human male who held the rank of general in the Galactic Empire by 4 ABY. Following the Battle of Endor, he remained loyal to the Imperial Ruling Council. The Council convened on Corsin after the loss of Coruscant, and later appointed Thalen to be the Emperor in return for retaking the capital. He possessed a large force, and although much of the Imperial High Command was against the appointment, General Thalen went ahead with the plan and led the Grand Fleet to Coruscant.

However, the move was anticipated by the New Republic. The New Republic Starfleet prepared a defense of the planet, and although the Imperial Grand Fleet fought ferociously, it was destroyed by the combined fleets of the New Republic. Thalen, humiliated, led his flagship on a ramming attack on the *Home One*, the cruiser which Gial Ackbar was on. The two ships both exploded, and the general perished, but not before taking Admiral of the Fleet Ackbar with him.

He was replaced as Emperor by Grand Moff Haldor Vicari.
Imperial Armed Forces

The **Imperial Armed Forces** was the overarching fighting force of the Galactic Empire, comprised of the Imperial Navy, Imperial Army, and the Stormtrooper Corps, among various support branches such as the Imperial Engineering Corps. It was responsible for carrying out military operations throughout the galaxy as well as maintaining order on Imperial member worlds, governorships, colonies, and protectorates.

The Imperial military came into existence in 19 BBY with the Declaration of a New Order and the founding of the Galactic Empire. The Galactic Republic military was turned, over night, into the Imperial military. The weaponry, technology, personnel and uniforms all remained the same. What did change was the ideology, mission and chain-of-command.

Over the years, the Imperial military became infamous for its efficiency, discipline and brutality: hundreds of star systems fell to the wrath of the Galactic Empire, and with them, the lives of hundreds of billions of sentient beings.

The Imperial military was watched on a constant basis by COMPNOR and its Imperial Security Bureau and CompForce observers, in order to keep the massive and powerful military in check in case of rebellion against the Galactic Emperor. The stormtroopers fulfilled a similar purpose, stationed aboard Imperial naval vessels and Army garrisons to serve as the fighting arm of the Emperor.

In 4 ABY, the military was splintered during the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle. For four years, its strength and efficiency would drop to near disastrous levels, until its revival in 9 ABY by a new Emperor.

While the Emperor is the undisputed master of the Empire and its military, the military itself is run by the Commander-in-Chief, Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces.

Branches of the Imperial Military included:

* Imperial Army
* Imperial Navy
* Stormtrooper Corps
* Imperial Engineering Corps
* Imperial Survey Corps
Imperial IV-class Star Destroyer

The **IV-class Star Destroyer** was a improved version of Imperial Star Destroyer. they are often serve as mobile command headquarters during extended military campaigns. They are flying fortresses outfitted with heavy armor and imposing weaponry.

## Variants

**Flagship:** its command decks had a lower profile, with port and starboard viewdecks to ensure maximum visibility in the event of a ambush.
Imperial Diplomatic Corps

The **Imperial Diplomatic Corps**, also known as the **Diplomatic Service** or **Diplo-Serv**, was a much-honored albeit overlooked branch of the Imperial bureaucracy that functioned as a diplomatic body, bringing new worlds into the Galactic Empire and enforcing Imperial standards during Emperor Palpatine's New Order. They often deploy ambassadors and negotiators to hostile worlds to ensure that the occupied populations adhere to the Emperor's orders, and as such reducing the necessity for pacification by force. However, the ambassadors and negotiators were notoriously corrupt, which also ended up costing the Empire by having them accept bribes by Rebel agents.

It often worked with the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR), which tried to bring the organization under its control.
Select Committee

The **Select Committee** is the executive body of COMPNOR.

The Select Committee has a variable number of members, appointed by the Emperor on recommendations.

The Select Committee's membership during the reign of Emperor Palpatine was secret and remained intact after the fragmentation of the Empire in 4 ABY, The committee went on to serve under the Interim Ruling Council throughout the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle.
General of the Army

**General of the Army** was the highest rank attainable in many armies throughout the galaxy. In the New Republic, the rank General of the Army was held by the chief of staff of the New Republic Army. While it was technically equivalent to the Starfleet rank of Admiral of the Fleet, it was lower in practice, as the Admiral of the Fleet was usually also the Supreme Commander of the Defense Forces.
Ammunition

Brigadier

The rank of **Brigadier**, or **Brigadier General**, was a senior rank in some military organizations, typically a junior or quasi General rank, senior to a Colonel but below a Major General. It should be stressed that officers with the rank of Brigadier did not necessarily command Brigades, but brigade commanders could be referred to as "brigadier", even if they held a different rank.

Under the Galactic Empire, there are very few references to a rank of Brigadier, with the position of High Colonel being somewhat analogous. However, at least one officer bearing this rank is known, Brigadier Nevar, who was aboard the AT-AT walker *Blizzard 2* at the Battle of Hoth.
Commodore

**Commodore** was a military rank, typically applied in a *pro tempore* or transitional fashion, for a officer in a Navy who commands several ships in addition to his or her own. The rank may be given as a per-need field promotion (and be rescinded as such), or as a permanent promotion in keeping to an order of ascendancy to that of Admiral status. Indeed, Commodore is typically classified one rank below that of Rear Admiral, and one above Naval Captain.

## Galactic Empire

An Imperial Commodore commanded a Naval Squadron, consisting of several Lines. In the Empire, a Commodore was considered a junior member of the Admiralty, and was respected as such by their subordinates. It was the equivalent of an Imperial Army Brigadier.

## New Republic

The New Republic Starfleet would bestow the title and rank of Commodore upon the senior or lead officer of a tributary or allied homogenous force attached to their fleets for a campaign. They would do this so as not to confuse their own ranking structure by making the officer in question a bonafide Admiral. Its equivalent in the New Republic Army and New Republic Starfighter Corps was Brigadier General.
Vice Admiral

**Vice Admiral** was a junior flag officer rank used in many navies throughout the galaxy.

## Galactic Empire

In the Imperial Navy, a Vice Admiral was an intermediate rank between Rear Admiral and Admiral. It held no official level of naval force in the Imperial Order of Battle, and thus had a varying command. A Vice Admiral could either substitute for a Commodore in command of a squadron, or in rare cases command a Systems Force in place of a full Admiral. A Vice Admiral could also command an Imperial task force.

## New Republic

In the New Republic Starfleet, a Vice Admiral typically acted as either a second-in-command of a battle group or commanded an independent task force. Some also served on Starfleet Command as staff officers.
Grand General

**Grand General** was a highly placed and very influential rank in the Imperial hierarchy, subordinate to none other than the Emperor, the Supreme Commander, and the Grand Vizier. It was used by the Imperial armed forces, specifically by the Imperial Army and the Stormtrooper Corps, being the highest rank attainable in those branches. While it was technically equal to the rank of Grand Admiral in the Imperial Navy, Grand General did not achieve the same reputation as its naval counterpart.

During the reign of Palpatine, there were no more than a few Grand Generals at a time (in contrast, there were always twelve Grand Admirals). One of the Grand Generals served on Army Command as the Chief of Army Staff, while the others held either other positions in Imperial High Command or were given important field postings. The Grand Generals and Army Command reported directly to Darth Vader, the Supreme Commander/Military Executor at the time.

Many of the original Grand Generals were responsible for the devastation caused during the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle. Taking complete control over resources at their disposal and elsewhere, these Grand Generals carved out their own spheres of influence and warred amongst each others and against the Navy as warlords.

By 9 ABY, all the original Grand Generals had either been killed during the Imperial infighting or captured by New Republic forces. When Emperor Vastir Tokrev rose to power, he began awarding the rank again, setting out to regain glory of the Empire and the Imperial Army.

Grand Generals were appointed by the Emperor and the Emperor alone, and answered directly to the Executor (or in certain cases in which the Executor could not be reached, the Emperor), in all matters. The creation of the rank of Grand General two years before the Battle of Yavin was widely recognized as a means to increase the Emperor's direct control of the Imperial Military. However, although all exceptionally gifted officers, the Grand Generals were not just front-line commanders; rather, they included several technical specialists and theoreticians, enabling them to serve as a leadership cadre for the whole military—and indeed the whole Empire.

All Grand Generals, upon promotion to the rank, were also given the esteemed and unique position in the Empire known as Warlord, a post held only by a few of the Emperor's most gifted military commanders.
Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces

**Supreme Commander of Imperial Forces** was the rank and title bestowed to the Commander-in-Chief of the Galactic Empire's Military. The Supreme Commander was the head of the Imperial Military, managing all its affairs on behalf of the Galactic Emperor.

The Supreme Commander had far-reaching authority, responsible for the overall upkeep of the Empire's military and reporting to the Emperor directly on all matters concerned with the military. The Chiefs of Army Staff and Naval Staff both reported directly to the Supreme Commander. In the history of the Empire, there have only been two Supreme Commanders. The Supreme Commander did not answer to any Moff or the Imperial Ruling Council, and sat at the head of Imperial High Command.
Vacander Malkhan

**Vacander Malkhan** was a New Republic admiral and ace starfighter pilot served as the 1st Fleet commander and later the chief of the Admiralty.

## Biography

Malkhan was born on Rodia, though he spent much of his life traveling, being the son of a merchant ship captain. As a result, he learned piloting, navigation, and engineering at a young age. The Rodian also loved traveling and "seeing the galaxy." Malkhan initially planned on attending the Imperial Academy, but was not accepted due to his race. As he became more aware of the Galactic Empire's atrocities, the Rodian ended up joining the Rebel Alliance when the Galactic Civil War began.

He initially served as a squadron executive officer in the starfighter corps, flying at the Battle of Hoth as a snowspeeder pilot. Malkhan took part in several missions during the war and earned the rank of admiral in the months after the Battle of Endor.
Order of Tarkin

The **Order of Tarkin** was a medal and neck order awarded to citizens of the Galactic Empire. It was given to those who showed extreme loyalty and dedication to the New Order and its ideals, being named after Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, who perished aboard the Death Star in an attempt to destroy the main Rebel base. It came in three grades: third, second, and first class. The medal was first awarded in 3 ABY and continued to be used by the Empire since then.
Order of Palpatine

The **Order of Palpatine** was the highest honor awarded to citizens of the Galactic Empire. The medal was awarded for "extreme battlefield bravery and/or outstanding military leadership". The medal came in three grades: third, second, and first class. It was personally awarded by the Galactic Emperor himself, and was first used during Palpatine's reign. It continued to be awarded after the Battle of Endor when Vastir Tokrev became Emperor.
Captain

The term **Captain** referred to both a military rank and a position of command and direction aboard a traveling vessel, whether it be by sea, land, air, or space. In this capacity, the holder (and therefore, the vessel) does not necessarily have to be martial in origin — it could very well be civil or commercial in nature. The position is held in high regard wherever it is used.

## Naval captain

### Galactic Empire

Aboard a Star Destroyer and most other Imperial vessels, a **captain** was the commanding officer. He made all the command decisions and led his vessel, for better or for worse. Admirals often used Star Destroyers as flagships or stations, but even in the presence of an admiral, a captain led his vessel without question.

### New Republic

A captain typically commanded a warship of cruiser scale or larger, or a support ship of fleet tender scale or larger. The rank could also be applied to senior, field-deployed officers of such departments as engineering, medical, flight, logistics, or intelligence.

## Army captain

### Galactic Empire

A captain in the Imperial Army commanded a company, usually consisting of four platoons. A captain was immediately superior to First Lieutenant and below major.

In the Stormtrooper Corps, a Captain was a rank between First Lieutenant and Major, and generally commanded several platoons of troopers, but not enough to match a company.

### New Republic

Captains in the New Republic Army had proven themselves more than once as capable officers. It was rare beyond rare to find a captain in the Army or Marines who hadn't seen heavy combat. Support personnel who held this rank were capable of doing all the jobs of a First Lieutenant, and occasionally served as aides to a Battalion Commander. Typically, however, Captains were the first line officers considered to have both rank, authority, and experience, while commanding company-sized units. Their subordinates expected them to demonstrate the highest degrees of technical and tactical experience, and to ensure that the soldiers were well-taken care of.

In the New Republic Starfighter Corps, Captains had proven themselves more than once as capable pilots. A few of these pilots even held "ace" status. For support personnel, they carried a little clout. In special circumstances, they could even be put in charge of a squadron. Support personnel who held this rank were capable of doing all the jobs of a First Lieutenant, but might serve as an aid on the flagship or home post to the wing commander.
Brigadier General

**Brigadier General** was a military rank, derived from and subordinate to General, used by ground forces (armies) and some starfighter corps. It was usually immediately above Colonel and below Major General.

## New Republic

In the New Republic Army, a brigadier general was occasionally given command of an entire corps or brigade of troops and support personnel. Other times, they were appointed to serve as aides to a higher ranking general in the field. More often earned than appointed, most men who held this rank were hardened troopers, have had their share of combat experience, and were top notch at what they do.

In the New Republic Starfighter Corps, these men were occasionally put in charge of an entire wing of pilots and support personnel. Other times, they were appointed to serve as aides to the Chief of Starfighter Staff, or to a higher ranking general in the field. More often appointed than earned, most men who held this rank were ace pilots with a plethora of combat experience.
Sublieutenant

**Sublieutenant**, also called **Lieutenant Junior Grade**, was a naval rank junior to lieutenant.

## Galactic Empire

Sublieutenant was an Imperial Navy rank immediately above Ensign and below Lieutenant.

Ensigns were promoted to Sub-Lieutenant upon receiving certain command training and has proved their worth to their commanding officer through successfully managing given tasks and assignments. Sub-Lieutenants generally did not receive any command authority in the Navy, and was instead used for organizational means. Their only real authority was over Ensigns and non-commissioned officers, and instead just paved a way towards Lieutenant.

## New Republic

The rank was used by the New Republic Starfleet for junior officers, except it was known as Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Mitth'raw'nuruodo

**Mitth'raw'nuruodo**, better known by his core name **Thrawn** (pronounced /ˈθɹɑːn/), and also called **Mitthrawdo**, was a male Chiss officer with a long-spanning career. He served the Chiss Ascendancy early in his life and later the naval forces of the Galactic Empire as the only non-human Grand Admiral. Thrawn was regarded as one of the best commanders to serve under and a brilliant military strategist in the starfleet. His skills were appreciated enough by the reigning Sith Lords that he rose to a position of significant power despite the New Order's speciesist policies.
Imperial Credit

The **Imperial Credit** was the official currency of the Galactic Empire, and therefore, the galaxy, from 19 BBY and up until 4 ABY. After the Battle of Endor, the Imperial Credit lost a lot of its value but continued to be used by the Imperial central government.

## Exchange

During the early Galactic Civil War, the unofficial exchange rate was 25 Alliance Credits per Imperial Credit. The official exchange rate used in the New Republic after 4 ABY was about 10 Imperial Credits per Galactic Standard Credit.
Governor

A **governor** was a political position used throughout the galaxy. For the most part, governors were the chief executives of their delegated territory, enforcing laws and sitting as head of local police or military units.

## Galactic Empire

Its use in the Galactic Empire was two-fold: **planetary governors** were chosen by the Imperial Ruling Council and were often given orders from the Imperial Diplomatic Corps. The governor acted above the authority of the planet's local government, of which was little changed by the Empire, as long as it conformed to Imperial doctrine and law. Most planetary governors were granted their own military units to police their world, although the sector's Moff could, at any time, take direct control from the governor. As such, the governor was always answerable to his respected system's Moff, or the **regional governor**, the second use of governorship within the Empire.

The regional governor, or Moff, were appointed by the Imperial Ruling Council or the Emperor himself to exercise more efficient military and political dominance over the far-stretched Imperial territories. The Moff ruled over a sector, a territory of space bunching numerous systems into one political unit. The Moff had total control over all military and political resources within his sector, including the planetary governors.

The planetary governor also appointed a **lieutenant governor**, a position which exercised very little power.

**Drogan Hestor** was a Dark Side Adept trained by Emperor Palpatine who briefly seized control of the Galactic Empire after the Battle of Endor. It was suspected that he had something to do with the murder of the previous Interim Ruling Council leader, Grand Moff Haldor Vicari, but nothing was ever proven. Hestor only managed to hold on to the throne for a scant month before being challenged and slain by another Dark Jedi named Valus Darklancer.
Warrant Officer

**Warrant Officer** was a rank present in many militaries across the galaxy. A warrant officer did not have a specific task as other ranks such as admiral did, but instead specialized in a particular field that other crew members had little or no knowledge of. An example of this would be a warrant officer who specialized in monitoring the ship's functions, or a warrant officer who specialized in operating the ship's tractor beam.

The New Republic Starfleet used the rank as its highest non-commissioned officer rank. In the Imperial Army, the ranks Senior Warrant Officer and Junior Warrant Officer were used.
Galactic Emperor

**Galactic Emperor** was the title of the ruler of the Galactic Empire from its inception in 19 BBY until the death of the first Emperor, Palpatine, in 4 ABY. The position of Emperor is also referred to as the **Imperial throne**.

Prior to 4 ABY, the Galactic Emperor was the head of state and chairman of the Imperial Ruling Council, holding absolute power over the Imperial bureaucracy, the Imperial Armed Forces (as the commander-in-chief), and every sector within the Empire. He was able to appoint and dismiss regional governors and Moffs, as well as high-ranking military officers on Imperial High Command. The Emperor was also able to call and end meetings of the Imperial Senate (and was able to dissolve it entirely, as he did in 0 BBY).

After the death of Emperor Palpatine at the Battle of Endor, many rogue warlords made claims to the Imperial throne. However, Grand Vizier Sate Pestage (the head of government) took over the regime on Coruscant. It was not until 9 ABY until a new Emperor, one recognized by most Imperial factions, emerged.
Valus Darklancer

**Valus Darklancer** (23 BBY--5 ABY) was a Dark Side Adept of the Galactic Empire who became its Emperor for a short while in 5 ABY, during the Post-Endor Imperial power struggle.

## Biography

Darklancer was originally a Jedi Padawan under the Old Republic, however, the Great Jedi Purge occurred when he was only five years old, and the child was easily captured by an Imperial Inquisitor. The former Jedi was turned to the dark side and trained as a Dark Side Adept by Emperor Palpatine, and served as one of his spies during the Galactic Civil War.

After his master's death at the Battle of Endor, he remained loyal to the Interim Ruling Council (the administrative body that took control of the Empire). Darklancer used his Force abilities to aid fellow Imperial loyalists in their conflict against warlords and the New Republic. In 5 ABY, when the Ruling Council's appointed Emperor, Grand Moff Haldor Vicari, was slain by another Dark Side Adept, he challenged the man to duel and killed him.

Darklancer was then appointed as the new Emperor after his predecessor's demise at his hands. However, a New Republic offensive was launched against the Imperial remnants shortly after his coronation, and he left immediately for the front. Darklancer was a poor tactician, as it turned out, and died aboard his flagship during an attempt to keep the crossroads world of Palanhi in Imperial hands.
Stormtrooper

**Stormtroopers** were the elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire that became the most well-recognized representation of Imperial rule throughout the galaxy. They were an elite fighting force whose members were highly devoted to the Galactic Emperor and his New Order; the Emperor's private army. Stormtroopers became the main symbol of the Emperor's rule and were used to keep thousands of star systems in line. They were distinguished from most other units of the Imperial Armed Forces by their signature white armor.

Imperial stormtroopers were the successors of the clone troopers in the Grand Army of the Republic. While some of them were clones, most stormtroopers were non-clone recruits. They fought in important battles alongside the Imperial Army and were also stationed aboard naval ships. Although the deaths of both Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader in 4 ABY caused the collapse and fragmentation of the original Galactic Empire, stormtroopers were retained as elite soldiers under several successor states.

## History

As the Clone Wars reached its end, the clone trooper veterans that defended the Old Republic emerged as the feared enforcers of the New Order. When Emperor Palpatine declared the formation of the first Galactic Empire, the clones of the late Jango Fett were rechristened as Imperial stormtroopers. Without the guidance of their Jedi officers, stormtroopers were "cut loose" to brutally enforce the new Imperial doctrine, to which they quickly built a reputation as merciless, uncompromising soldiers indoctrinated with unconditional loyalty to Emperor Palpatine.

By the time the Galactic Civil War began in earnest, Jango Fett's clones were heavily supplanted by clones based on a variety of templates around 9 BBY, followed shortly after by enlisted Humans. Thus, the Fett clones were ironically reduced to a minority status after years of virtually filling the stormtrooper ranks in its entirety. According to a stormtrooper's entry log in the 501st Journal, none of the Fett clones were ever truly able to come to terms with serving alongside recruits and different clones, all of whom were disdainfully dubbed as the "new guys."
T4-B Heavy Tank

The **T4-B heavy tank** was an all-purpose battle tank used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.

## Description

The T4-B was armed with two fire linked laser cannons, with three concussion missile tubes placed between them, the firepower of which was devastating against infantry units. Typically, missiles were used at long range, against any target, then the tanks would close in and engage the enemy with their powerful anti-armor laser cannons.

The T4-B provided the Rebels enough of a punch in ground conflicts to withstand significant Imperial ground forces. They were capable of defeating most Imperial ground vehicles of the time, including AT-STs, 2-M repulsor tanks, and TIE Maulers, as well as being capable of battling AT-ATs more effectively than lighter vehicles.

Although powerful, the unit did have significant drawbacks. Its tracked design limited its mobility (though its mass and power more than offset this flaw) and was expensive to produce, leading the Alliance to limit its use.
Valek Aracham

**Valek Aracham** (34 BBY--) was an Imperial Intelligence officer who went on to become its director after the Battle of Endor.

## Biography

Aracham joined the Galactic Empire and was trained as an Intelligence agent prior to the Galactic Civil War. During that conflict, he successfully carried out several missions against the Rebel Alliance, gaining several promotions. However, while Director Ysanne Isard acknowledged him as being calculating, cunning, and having a keen eye for detail, she also realized he was too ambitious and would be too difficult to control. Therefore, she did her best to slow the agent's advance through the ranks of Intelligence up until 4 ABY.

That year, Emperor Palpatine perished at Endor, which began an internal conflict within the Empire. Grand Vizier Sate Pestage took the throne as interim Emperor, but was challenged by Isard. Aracham found out that she was plotting a coup against him and reported it to the Grand Vizier, who had COMPNOR and Imperial military forces prepare accordingly. Isard's coup ended up failing, and she was killed during the attempt. Aracham, one of the few people Pestage trusted after the coup attempt, was promoted to take her place as Director.
BTL Y-Wing Starfighter

The **BTL Y-wing starfighter** was a fighter-bomber built by Koensayr Manufacturing. First used during the Clone Wars, then throughout the Galactic Civil War, it was a mainstay of the Alliance Starfighter Corps. It was often used as an assault bomber to attack enemy capital ships directly in conjunction with the later B-wing starfighters.
T-65 X-Wing Starfighter

The Incom **T-65 X-wing starfighter** was the primary all-purpose starfighter of the Rebel Alliance and its successor governments. Known for its versatility and exceptional combat performance, it was a favorite with Rebel and New Republic pilots. Possessing deflector shields, a hyperdrive, an R2 astromech for repairs and navigation, and a complement of proton torpedoes, the X-wing allowed the Rebellion to launch raids in Imperial space with improved odds of a successful mission.

The X-wing played a major role in the Galactic Civil War following its capture on Fresia and the defection of its designers to the Alliance. It was most heralded as the fighter that destroyed the Death Star at the hands of Luke Skywalker. Later in the war, it would form the backbone of the Alliance Starfighter Corps, defending Alliance ships and leading attacks on Imperial vessels and installations. Most importantly, it could perform on near equal terms with the Empire's high-performance TIE fighters when handled by an experienced pilot.

Pilots of Rogue Squadron favored using the multi-role X-wing fighter, flying it as often as they could on most missions; they only employed other craft for highly specialized missions, such as missions that required ion cannons. The X-wing was so predominantly flown by Rebel and New Republic forces that it became a symbol of their faction, much like the TIE fighter and Star Destroyer were symbols of the Galactic Empire.

Thanks to continued upgrades to the basic design and improved tactics, the X-wing series remained one of the galaxy's predominant multi-role starfighters for over 40 years.
E-wing Escort Starfighter

The **E-7 E-wing multi-role starfighter**, also called **E-wing escort starfighter**, was a single-pilot starfighter developed by FreiTek Inc. It was notable for being the first fighter designed entirely under the support of the New Republic. E-wings deployed with updated laser cannons were known as the **Type B**.

As designed, the E-wing was intended to match or exceed the performance of the preceding X-wing series in every respect, and was meant to replace the older design in New Republic service. However, the craft suffered from several significant problems when first deployed among front-line squadrons. The most serious of these problems included malfunction issues with the wing-mounted laser cannons and the new R7 astromech units, which had been designed specifically for the E-wing. As a result, many pilots continued to fly the older but more reliable X-wing series.

Despite the initial problems, improved models of the E-wing would eventually see widespread use by the New Republic, particularly by the Fifth Fleet, and later by the Galactic Alliance. E-wings would go on to play a significant role in every engagement from the Black Fleet Crisis, through the Yuuzhan Vong War, and beyond.

By the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, the E-wing had matured into an excellent starfighter design and equipped several elite squadrons of the Galactic Alliance. However, despite being a more advanced design, the E-wing never achieved the same popularity as the famous X-wing series.
