Grand Don Louancett the 97th

The supreme leader of Asilay's miliatary, **Grand Don Louancett** is the 97th Louancett to lead the growing Asilay fleet, the largest in their history.

Around 5 ABY, the Asilay people made contact with the Empire and captured two of their Star Destroyers. Using them as a template, the Asilay people began to create their own Star Destroyers to complete their fleet.

They also pulled their records and saw the sizable bounties on the heads of Blaine Hansom, Bota Zi, Genos Ia'danian, and others, including Ronia Del Vath, sister of Axur Del Vath. Using minor criminals like Jack Cronn to bring people of high interest to them, they began recruiting off-worlders to help them expand their empire.

Realizing the threat of a new Empire, the heroes rejected their offer and stole a Star Destroyer and brought into their system in hot pursuit by other Imperial ships. When the Empire arrived before the Asilay could turn off the Imperial ship's transponder, they engaged in a large battle near the Asilay homeworld.

Realizing that the Empire wouldn’t be able to stop them, the New Republic stepped in.

As negotiations went sour, the New Republic decided that they needed to end the destructive conflict in one swift stroke, otherwise the Asilay would gain even more ground and become a bigger threat.

Massing a large fleet just out of the system, different groups came together: Rogue Squadron with Baron Soontir Fel, Caladonian fleets under Queen-elect Holla Ettyk, and even Luke Skywalker himself.

Coincidentally, this was to be one of the last battles Rogue Squadron fought in before Wedge was asked to reform the group, and one of the last times Soontir Fel worked with the New Republic.

While the resulting fleet was much smaller than the Asilay armada, the New Republic had slightly better weaponry and the Force on their side and the First Battle of Asilay occurred. After he was captured at the tail end of the battle by Genos and Bota, the Asilay surrendered and signed a peace treaty with the New Republic with little hard feelings, and Ronia, under permission of the Grand Don, removed her cyborg implants and joined Blaine, Genos, and Bota for a time.

There has since been a Second Battle of Asilay, which focused more on internal politics as result of the First Battle, and even afterward, Louancett remained their military leader.

Known to be a little more liberal than his predecessors, he enjoys learning about outside cultures and languages and maintains contacts throughout the system.

Ultimately, Louancett recognizes that his people need an expansion to further both the development of their technology and their culture.

## Related Characters

Louancett has a respect for Blaine Hansom, Bota Zi, and Genos Ia'danian. He is disappointed by Ronia and if he saw her again, would act coldly towards her.

In particular, he is particularly interested in Bota Zi, who some of the populace see as the Great Booam the 37th's successor and is the New Republic's ambassador to their people. At one point, to appease the populace, Bota Zi gave them a DNA sample, which they manipulated and used to create twins for Boam's daughter, Boama, who then gave birth to Botama Zi and Boama Zed in 6 ABY. As such, he is close to Booama and her twin daughters.
