Charles was a member of the Imperial Remnant and transferred along with Clan Satal Keto as he served under the Clan's Consul at the time of the Exodus simply as a Lieutenant. He rose through the ranks during that time serving on board the Omicron Platform upon its construction as an aerospace traffic controller until eventually he was placed as its Executive Officer. When Instigator was brought into Plagueis, he was recommended for promotion and was placed as XO of the new Victory-Class Star Destroyer acquired by the Plagueis Navy. He has since been promoted to Captain and has received Command of the vessel.

History

The Instigator first entered Imperial service some two months after the end of the Clone Wars, acting as a cargo inspection vessel in the Coruscant system. The Empire later transferred the ship to the backwater Kwymar Sector, due to the political misfortune of its commander, to aid in the suppression of Rebel and other criminal elements. There it would remain for the remainder of the Galactic Civil War, falling under the control of the warlord Harssk after Endor, and then the Imperial Remnant with his death at Tsoss Beacon.

Sometime in mid 26 ABY the Instigator was deemed insufficient for the Sector’s defensive needs, given fears of an eventual end to the Remnant’s tense neutrality with the Yuuzhan Vong. A buyer quickly arose in the Dark Council, under the same guise of a Corporate Sector Authority affiliate that had garnered them a shipbuilding contract with Kuat Drive Yards. The ship, and its full complement of support craft, was taken into the Brotherhood fold under a skeleton crew, and placed in a reserved storage yard at Xa Fel until the rest of the new fleet was assembled. The Instigator was allocated to Clan Plagueis in the aftermath of the Vong assault on the Brotherhood’s territories.

Ship Designation

Instigator serves on Task Force Deviant in a Defensive Designation. While her main task is the defense of Shintera during peacetime, she relocates to Kapsina to ensure defensive of the Capital during Wartime. Her first major defense was the 2nd Battle of Kapsina in 30 ABY.
