Graal Klusto was a Dlarit Army Captain serving as Commander of Sapphire Squadron aboard the Marauder-class Corvette Reaper’s Call.
Biography
Klusto was born on the planet [[starwars:Aldraig IV|Aldraig IV, a core planet on the Hydian Way. Growing up under the control of the Galactic Empire he acquired a local job at an AT-AT production line for the Imperial Army. As tough times approached the Empire it was forced to shut down numerous production plants, the one on Aldraig IV was one of those.
Looking for a new position, Klusto used his experience to attain a job for Kaldex Transport Inc on the production lines of various starships. As time went by Klusto acquired an interest in piloting the very ships he created. Over the years Klusto began to be not only a very skilled mechanic, but a talented pilot that was taken notice by a visiting General of the Dlarit Corporation.
Recruited into the Dlarit Starfighter Corps, Klusto was assigned to the Marauder-class Corvette Reaper’s Call.

While his fellow wingmen were not up to the challenge and were quickly disposed of, Klusto led the way making a clear escape path for the vulnerable craft. With the losses mounting the daring pilot was quickly outnumbered and dashed for his own safety aboard the Reaper’s Call. However, just as he was about to enter the hangar, Klusto’s starfighter was struck by an enemy Yaret-Kor. The flaming rock shattered the cockpit engulfing it in flames. Klusto managed to still dock safely, but was horribly burned as the emergency team dragged him from his ship.
It would be nearly a year before Klusto was inside a cockpit again, but the injuries had not changed his attitude or skills at all. What had changed was his appearance and ability to breathe. Receiving burns to over 90 percent of his body, Klusto’s injuries were to extreme to repair as the surgeons had hoped. Refusing to remain uncovered, Klusto created a custom flightsuit that would cover his repulsive
