## Summary

**Mason Kre'ig**, Also known as *Grand Admiral* or *Darth Tora* was a human male from the planet Corellia. He is force sensitive, serving under both the Jedi and Sith orders. A surviving Jedi after order 66, he decided to join the empire in a bid to save himself. His power was recognized by Palpatine, who trained him as a secret apprentice and figurehead for the Empire. During an Imperial Ball, Palpatine revealed in secret that he planned to make Mason his new figurehead for Imperial Unity, and would appoint him heir to the Imperial throne.
After Mason's accidental trip to the future, he became a mercenary and admiral for various independent planets and Imperial Remnants. He formed a committee and a small state after he claimed the Imperial Throne as **Prince Mason I** He was then recruited by the Imperium, a absolute monarchy formed in the mid and outer rim consisting of former First Order warlords ruled by the Tarkin Family, and in this case, Wilhuff VI.
Time went by, and a political crisis within the Galactic Federation started the Secession crisis of 268 ABY, which later resulted in the Second Galactic Civil War. Mason took advantage of this and joined in on the fighting. He utilized his battle meditation and tactical ability to conquer, and later annex, the Imperium. After a long and hard campaign, with some outside interference, the New Empire ruled much of the known galaxy. After Bill 66, Mason crowned himself Emperor of the Galaxy, which was the first time since Palpatine that someone held that title. As the story came to an end, it was revealed that an unknown Extra-Galactic force was preparing for an invasion of the known Galaxy, known by his Chiss allies as the "Far Outsiders"
