## Biography

### Operation Breach of Trust

Leosh Harvic was a human female born on Hoth in 3662 BBY to Coronal Brena Harvic and Captain Roran Harvic. Shortly after Leosh's birth, her mother, Brena past away due to unexpected pregnancy related complications, leaving her to be raised by her father, Roran. Roran, like the majority of Imperial Militants, was a committed patriot, and thus dedicated much of Leosh's education to Imperial history and culture. From the beginning Leosh admired the Empire as her father did, swearing frequently that she'd one day be a solider like her father when she came of age.

On her eighteenth birthday Leosh insisted that her father allow her to enlist, which he obliged proudly. Unfortunately the recruiting specialist on Hoth insisted that Leosh be deployed to an off-world garrison upon the completion of her training to ensure that the Harvic family not develop personal militant motives. The Imperial Academy proved to easily traversable to Leosh, she excelled thanks in large part to her upbringing on the wasteland planet of Hoth. Leosh excelled at such a rapid rate that her request to be drafted into the military was refused and she was instead sent to serve the Ministry of Intelligence as a member of a covert Black Ops Unit discretely labeled Operation Breach of Trust (B.O.T.).

The training she received in preparation for operation B.O.T. was far more grueling, and the tests on her constitution and loyalty were beyond disturbing, but in the end she completed her training and was was enlisted in Operation B.O.T.. Leosh was assigned to a four man team of the empires most skilled non-force sensitive killers, each fulfilling a specific, lethal role in the squad, she was to act as marksmen and slicer. The teams objective was simple, but daunting, eliminate suspected traitors to the Empire, including Sith, whom were not designated as Darth's. Because of the discretion of this campaign Bot Squad worked almost exclusively with Imperial Intelligence, receiving data drops with Watchers about new targets and occasionally working directly with the Minister of Intelligence who was technically their handler, though he allowed them a great deal of autonomy. After the loss of the squads leader at the hands of a dying Sith Lord, Leosh was promoted to squad captain.

Late into the Cold War Bot Squad was contacted by a Sith named Darth Baras who had recently been promoted to the Dark Council and professed to be the Voice of the Emperor. Lord Baras ordered that the squad travel to the prison world of Balsavis to destroy his apprentice, who allegedly had begun acting against the wishes of the council. Under normal circumstances the squad would have required clearance from Darth Zhorrid, the head of the sphere of intelligence to carryout a task for another dark councilor, but they feared Zhorrid would not support Baras' order, thus bringing the wrath of the Emperor down upon them, thus they moved without clearance.

Upon arrival on Balsavis Bot Squad had little trouble tracking Baras' apprentice as they left a bloody trail of opposition behind them. When they gathered enough information to map where the apprentice would be headed they set a trap along a ridge where the hoped to defeat him quickly and without struggle, but when they arrived their companion discovered one of Leosh's squad mates, who proceeded to set the trap off prematurely, being cut down in seconds. The remaining three pressed what little advantage they still had, trying to overwhelm the Sith with suppressing fire from three directions, but the foliage from the planet wasn't enough to disorient the apprentice, their lightsaber was thrown into the gut of one and the neck of the other was imploded with the force. The Sith ascended upon Leosh and she knew her time to die was near, so she used her only available escape, she leapt from the ridge, tumbling down the steep incline and landing broken in a pile at its base. The Sith offered no pursuit, rightly assuming that the threat had been neutralized.

### In the House of Darth Extrovous

Leosh had begun to forget the pain of her broken ribs as she landed on Dromund Kaas, the overwhelming fear she felt for failing the Emperor had caused her to pass out several times on the trip back and the cabin waste bin of the squads Strongarm was filled with Leosh's previous meal. Instead of reporting to Baras via hologram she elected to report to him in person with the hope that in his rage he'd cut her down where she stood. Death was the only consequence she did not fear from the Dark Council Member. Leosh drug her broken body through the streets of Kaas City, refusing multiple well-meaning medical practitioners treatment.

She finally drug herself to the door of Darth Baras' offices, taking a moment to breath before handing her weapons to the guards and inching her way in. The closer she become to Baras' main office, the more she felt her stomach trying to escape through her throat. With one final pause to compose herself Leosh entered the office in which Baras sat, doing some sort of paperwork from behind his desk. Before Leosh gained the courage to speak, the dark lord -without even looking up- uttered "You return to me a failure, here to beg for mercy or be killed swiftly. Rest-assured you will receive neither." The next moment she collapsed to the ground pleading that she be allowed to die hunting and killing this apprentice, so that her honor and loyalty to the Emperor be immortalized. Baras seemed somewhat taken aback by her plea, looking up at her and remaining quiet for a moment before lowering his tone a bit and stating that she would be forbidden to ever take the life of an imperial citizen, loyal or not, again. He raised her voice once more and proclaimed that her rank be stripped from her and that she was be banished to serve the Empire as an orbital guard for the rest of her life, effectively ending her career and sentencing her to an existence of shame.

Leosh was quickly treated for her injuries before being shipped to the planet of Rhen-Var. Rhen-Var was a planet of extreme cold and feral creatures, not dissimilar to her home planet of Hoth. The uniform she was given was ill fitted, bulky but very effective for the cold weather conditions she'd be living in for the rest of her life. The governor of Rhen-Var was a politically powerful Sith named Darth Extrovous who was apparently allies with several Dark Council members including Darth Baras who so graciously provided him with new soldiers nearly every month.

Leosh, reduced to a simple private and was instructed to get comfortable with her position, her platoon's objective was to guard one of the planetary shield generators from aggressive wildlife that was attracted to the frequencies it put off. It was a difficult but fairly barrable job, as long as you weren't eaten of course. Leosh was initially provided a standard issue blaster rifle which she insisted be exchanged with a sniper rifle, but was denied for several months until she was promoted to weapons specialist thanks to a particularly poor wildlife attack. In a years time Leosh ascended to the rank of sergeant, now commanding her own squad of ten and becoming an effective part of her platoon.

Not long after Leosh's promotion to sergeant Darth Extrovous announced that he had begun a Kaggath against his daughter, Lord Sendure, and two-thirds of Extrovous' entire army would be moved to his mansion on Ziost, where the Kaggath would take place. Many were excited to leave Rhen Var for a time, for the planet of Ziost which was considerably warmer, others pointed out that Lord Sendure had very little in terms of information in the Imperial database and the only thing that was really known about her was she was an ally of Darth Serevin, a Sith with just as much, if not more prominence then Darth Extrovous himself. Rumor's also began to circulate during the travel to Ziost that Extrovous had not really started a Kaggath, because according to old laws there could only be one Kaggath at a time and Darth Thanaton had initiated one against his rival, Lord Kallig some time before, meaning Extrovous was lying, simply to force his daughter to fight him against her will. Others countered that many on the dark council were new age Sith who would be unconcerned with technical laws such as restricting concurrent Kaggaths. Nevertheless to suggest discord filled the ranks would be redundant.

Upon the armies arrival on Ziost Darth Extrovous delivered a rallying speech to both his men and the locals declaring his inevitable victory against his traitorous daughter. According to intel Sendure's army was overwhelmingly outnumbered by the defending force and that she'd likely fall before Extrovous would even see her. Despite the incredibly likely victory Extrovous still ordered his men to prepare for a force twice their size, and so they did, Leosh' battalion was placed on the front line, being positioned in a speeder garage very near Extrovous' mansion, when the attack force passed by they were to rush out with deployable barricades and box them in.

When the enemy arrived they set up camp on the opposite side of the city. According to scouts the attacking force was much larger then initially assumed but still outnumbered two to one, Leosh and her battallion laid their trap, sealing the garage, now only able to witness the battle through one holographic viewing port. The battle began like a crack of thunder, all at once hundreds of explosives and blasters ignited. Sendures forces closed in and entrenched themselves quickly, using explosives to bring buildings down upon the defenders emplacement guns. The enemy positioned themselves directly in front of the garage, instead of moving past it as they hoped, however central command ordered that they sprig the trap regardless, which was essentially a death sentence. They were given no choice in the mattered, as central command forcefully overrode the garage's door control, exposing them to the enemy. The garrison lieutenant ordered a charge, sprinting himself out of the door, but before he could even finish his order he was pummeled by eight separate blaster shots, very quickly halting the charge. Immediately Leosh took charge, ordering they deploy the barricades at the garage door and fire out at the enemy, rather then charge and be slaughtered, no one argued. It cost several men to get the barricades in place but once they were casualties dropped. For forty very long minutes they fought over that door, taking heavy casualties and enduring suppressive fire, however for each man that fell they confirmed seven. In the final moments of the battle Leosh was struck in the chest, falling to the ground and knocking her head against the cold durasteel.

The battle was cut short as Lord Sendure announced her victory over her father, his head in hand, she declared herself lord over all of Extrovouse claim, including his military, the Kaggath, fake or not, was finished.

### Reevaluation

Following the battles aftermath, after the piles of bodies were collected the losses were tallied, the attackers were doomed, saved only by their masters swift victory over Extrovous. There were only three platoons on the defending side who had lost more then ten men, Leosh's was left with only seven of fifty. The platoons losses were vastly overshadowed with their confirmed kills, they had killed almost four hundred men, twice as much as the next highest ranked platoon. In spite of this the Brigade Colonel, to whom Leosh' Platoon reported ordered that the platoon be disbanded as it would be cheaper to simply issue a new platoon, the seven surviving soldiers were to be reassigned.

Lord Sendure, -who was now proclaiming herself Darth Deeskor, as she took her father title- began looking through the field reports as she restructured the military, and found Leosh's confirmed kill report, she summoned each of the seven survivors individually and asked their testimony. each in turn praised Leosh's leadership and combat prowess. When it came Leosh's turn she was asked the same question and gave her testimony, praising both herself and her allies for the costly victory. Leosh was removed from Deeskors presence for a time but was later resummoned, Deeskor then asked her about her passed, and read her biographical file, almost verbatim, discussing her impressive service, as well as her failure to Darth Baras and her banishment to Rhen-Var, it stung Leosh to admit that it was all true. Deeskor found her pain somewhat amusing, and she offered to reinstate Leosh as an agent to her, acting as a hand to her personal will. Leosh couldn't even think to refuse such an offer.

In the coming years Leosh proved to be an essential servant to Deeskor, her primary task differed heavily, from negotiator, to assassin, to even acting for a time as Deeskors lead planetary enforcer, ensuring that slave and Imperial alike stay in line. Thanks to how closely Agent Harvic worked with her overlord she began to grow close to Deeskor, and the relationship was reciprocated. Deeskor began to not only share sensitive intel with Leosh, but she also began to express her own doubts about the Empire and Sith as a whole, and Leosh was allowed to in some instances contend her opinions without reprimand. Over time Leosh began to see Deeskor point of view about the Empire and it structure, and especially about how the Sith structure effected the outcome of the last two wars.

When Malgus' returned Leosh became angry with her Dark Lord, and she was one of Deeskors first private supporters of opposing the Empire. Leosh transitioned in her duties to acting as an envoy to various Sith during the early talks of opposing Emperor Vowrawn, Leosh was also allowed to sit in the first in person meeting between the Sith opposition leadership as Deeskors aide. When the decision was made to form the Progressive Union to oppose the Emperor, Leosh privately denounced her devotion to the Empire and pledged herself solely to Deeskor above even the Union. In turn she was made the left hand of Deeskor, holding dominion over all of Rhen Vars assets aside from Deeskor herself, and her Sith apprentice Lord Cherm. Despite this promotion Leosh continued to be referred to as Agent Harvic, also holding to the job description of being Deeskors highly lethal enforcer, despite her responsibilities no longer reflecting this. Agent Harvic was simply destined to kill Imperials for the good of the Empire, she was just targeting bigger prey now.
