**Garrick Versio** was Human male who served as an Imperial Admiral within the COMPNOR's Imperial Security Bureau, a intelligence and enforcement agency of the Empire that was charged with ensuring both security of the Empire state and ensuring loyalty of all citizens to their Empire. Garrick would have a child, Iden Versio, with his wife before they divorced when Iden was five years old. It was Versio who brought the world Vardos into Galactic Empire, and as a result of this he had became known as a "Hero of Vardos" and had a statue dedicated to him outside of the most secure and a valuable building on Vardos, an Archive. Convinced of a need for the team of the elite agents and soldiers, Garrick put together a Inferno Squad, with Iden as squad leader. Garrick then gave this team assignments to carry out in the name of a Empire.

A demanding taskmaster of a father, Garrick had constantly pressured his daughter to succeed and always pushed Iden to her limits, while she in turn always pined for the approval of Garrick. Come the destruction of the Death Star II staton, the loss of their Galactic Emperor, and the victory for rebels, Admiral Garrick Versio was soon contacted by one of a late Palpatine's Sentinels messenger droids and then instructed to initiate the "Operation: Cinder". This included acts like an bombarding his home world of Vardos, which he'd chose to do, an act that'd horrified his daughter and prompted her to defect from the Galactic Empire during the chaos of Vardos' devastation. His actions later caught up to him on Jakku, as he was among the many Imperials killed in the final battle of the wars between an Imperial Remnants and New Republic.

## Biography

### Imperial Service

#### Forging the Inferno

Convinced that the strength of the Empire was necessary to maintain order in the galaxy, Imperial Admiral Garrick Versio extended that conviction into his relationship with his daughter Iden, mercilessly kept pushing her and constantly testing Iden's limits. Eventually, Iden Versio became a Commander of Inferno Squad, an Imperial Special Forces unit assembled by Admiral Garrick Versio, that included the Imperial Agents Gideon Hask, Del Meeko, and Seyn Marana, in response to the destruction of the first Death Star I. He first tasked them in infiltrate and destroy the Dreamers rebel group, a mission that resulted in an Imperial victory though saw the death of Marana. Admiral Garrick Versio commanded an Imperial Star Destroyer *Eviscerator* and partook at the Battle of Endor, witnessing the death of Admiral Firmus Piett, whom he called a fool after Imperials Super Star Destroyer *Executor* crashed into the second Death Star battle station and was destroyed.

#### Without an Emperor

Shortly afterwards, the second Death Star exploded, destroyed by the attacking Rebel forces. Vice Admiral Rae Sloane, despite not being their highest ranking commanding officer, ordered for a full retreat, and the Admiral Garrick Versio and the *Eviscerator* waited for Inferno Squad to evacuate Endor. Above Vardos, Admiral Garrick Versio confirmed the demise of the Emperor Palpatine to his daughter aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer *Eviscerator* and shared with her the Sentinel messenger he received, which communicated the last orders of their Emperor: to begin Operation: Cinder at once. He'd sent Iden and Inferno to world Fondor to protect Moff Raythe, who transported satellites crucial to an Operation: Cinder aboard his Star Destroyer *Dauntless*. Though battle had erupted at the Imperial shipyards above Fondor when the Rebel Alliance forces attempted to hijack their starship, they were eventually destroyed, and an Operation: Cinder was secure.

#### Collapse of the Empire

Moff Raythe's satellites and the *Dauntless* were in fact sent to target the loyal Imperial world of Vardos itself. Despite the planet being his own home planet and teeming with Empire loyalists, Admiral Versio ordered their satellites turned online per the posthumous order of their Emperor, and commanded his daughter to extract Protectorate Gleb. However, during the mission, Iden and Meeko went rogue after deciding that it was not moral to leave loyal Empire citizens to die. They'd escaped aboard the *Corvus* with their crew and some survivors, but Hask turned on them and returned to Garrick with a Protectorate Gleb and her agent, prompting Admiral Garrick to promote him to a Commander. Admiral Versio went on to run operations on Bespin and Sullust, procuring fuel and weapons for their shattering Empire, while he and Gideon were hunted down by Iden Versio and Del Meeko, now members of a Inferno Squad in the military ranks of the New Republic.

At some point in the final year of the Galactic Civil War, Admiral Versio fell under the command of their Counselor Gallius Rax, who'd been secretly in charge of executing a clandestine Contingency, then partook in the Battle of Jakku. Imperial Star Destroyer *Eviscerator* was destroyed in the battle; as it burnt in the skies of Jakku, Iden made her attempt to rescue her father. Though Rax also intended for Admiral Versio to leave, he declined his daughter's rescue attempt. Looking out over the battle and his rapidly disintegrating starship, Admiral Garrick bitterly lamented having dedicated his entire life to the Galactic Empire which was indeed weak and flawed whilst Iden tried to convince him to leave. In their final moments together, he'd made peace with his daughter, who escaped via a escape pod, while the Admiral Garrick Versio remained on Empire Star Destroyer *Eviscerator* as it crashed onto the sandy deserts of the world Jakku, perishing in that collision.
