## Early Life

Sevro au Barca was born to an impoverished family in the Outer Rim. Wanting their children to have the best opportunities, his parents convinced him to accept their life savings so that he could attend a Republic Military Academy. As a child, Sevro often liked playing with toy versions of spaceships, or even just rocks, pretending to fly them around or command them in battles. His parents hoped he would succeed in the Military Academy and give himself a better life.

Though his personality was very abrasive in his teens, Barca soared through the academy easily, achieving top ranks and grades in almost every class. Viewing him as a possibility for the fast-track to command, the Superintendent of the Academy Sevro was in pulled him for a surprise examination made up of a simulated command with almost unbeatable odds: a No-Win Scenario. Sevro barely failed, almost managing to save his entire simulated ship and crew. Dejected, he assumed he was about to be kicked out of the academy, but the Superintendent surprised him by informing him that he was the first person to not only almost pass the exam, but to not completely fail within the first ten minutes. Because of this, Sevro was immediately pushed to finish his normal examinations and be granted a commission in the Republic's military, small as it may have been at the time.

Starting out as a Senior Lieutenant, managing to bypass the rank of Junior Lt., Sevro served aboard several small ships in almost every sector defense fleet by the time he achieved the rank of Commander and was given his own ship and crew.

## Early Command

Once he had proven himself, Sevro was promoted to Commander and given command of a Dreadnought-class Cruiser, serving in the Sector Defense Fleet of the Corpo Region. It didn't take long for him to be promoted to Captain during this command. Eventually, the Republic Senate passed a Bill which officially formed a Grand Navy of the Republic. Seeing this, Sevro made it his goal to join up with the main force and serve aboard a true battleship, even if he was unable to command it himself for the foreseeable future.

Shortly after, he stumbled across the path of a newcomer to the Republic; a Chiss man. The man became fast friends with Sevro, as well as Sevro's wife and group of friends from the academy. This Chiss, as fortune would have it, quickly rose through the ranks of the newly founded Republic Navy and commissioned Sevro, his wife Victra, and the rest of his group, to be Commodores within the Navy, acting as second-in-command of their assigned Task Forces. Not only was Sevro getting his wish to serve aboard a battlecruiser, the Victory-I Star Destroyer, he was in command of it, and leading a fleet as second-in-command.

## The Hutt War

Sevro, as Commodore and second-in-command of Task Force Gamma, saw plenty of action during the Hutt War which started not long after his commission into the Republic Navy. He fought at the Battle of Tatooine, scoring several kills for his ship during the battle. Due to his experience with many of the non-human-like species' languages, Sevro was also tasked with negotiating safe passage of army assets off of Tatooine once the base of Jabba the Hutt, a massive palace in the Dune Sea, was captured. He spoke with Tusken Raider tribes, guaranteeing that the Republic would leave the planet as well as convince the non-native settlers to leave the Tuskens alone.

Near the end of the War, Sevro was promoted to the rank of Admiral to fill the spot above him in his task force that was opened up by Honor Salima's promotion to Grand Admiral, and Esp'ara'joralis's appointment to Minister of Defense. With this promotion, Sevro now led the entirety of Task Force Gamma himself, achieving a goal he never thought he would so early in his life.

## Modern Times

After the conclusion to the Hutt War, via peace negotiations conducted by Chancellor Damas Oxbig, Barca continued to lead his fleet in anti-piracy operations throughout the Republic. When a newcomer to the galactic stage appeared, the Khitav of Sist'kara, Barca volunteered his forces to act as their Planetary Defense Fleet when their world was threatened by Confederacy intervention. In doing so, Barca also managed to garner himself another promotion: Fleet Admiral. With this, he now sat on the Admiralty Board, the group who not only oversees the commissions of new officers, but also the promotions of others as well as being council to the Minister of Defense on Naval Doctrine.

Fleet Admiral Sevro au Barca now stands aboard his flagship, the *Goblin*, in orbit of Sist'kara, ready to defend the world, and his new friends, from any who dare to challenge it. With the rising conflict between the Iron Empire and Confederacy of Independent Systems, and resulting attack on the planet, Barca has no doubt that war will once again return to the Republic.

## Personality and Peculiarities

Sevro has a very abrasive personality, which often causes him to come off wrong to new people. Due to this, his friend group has not changed much since his days in the academy, besides garnering the friendship of Esp Joralis, and the Chiss's family. He is, however, seen with respect by the Khitav Katera and Amarga Reblic'soos due to his work to protect their planet since their arrival in the Republic.

Also due to his abrasive personality, Sevro has managed to become a decent diplomat with the non-near-human species, taking it upon himself to learn several of the more uncommon and odd languages as well. He is able to speak to Wookies and Tuskens in their native tongues, and though its use is rare, he can also speak to Hutts without the need of a translator.
