Template:Obbie charinfo Vladet Xavier is a former Imperial Navy Special Operations pilot and Command Staff member of the Emperor's Hammer, an Imperial military faction located in the Minos Cluster. After twelve years of Imperial service he was expelled from the EH for treason which resulted in a year of mercenary work where he discovered his rudimentary Force skills while engaged in combat against the New Republic military. He joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to develop and expand his powers while attempting to restore Imperial order and justice to the galaxy. Vladet currently serves Clan Taldryan as the Quaestor and Envoy of House Dinaari as well holding a seat on the Chamber of Justice as the Right Hand of Justice.

Character History

Early Life

1 BBY to 15 ABY

Vladet Xavier was born into an upper middle class family in Nashal, Talus. His father, Captain Benedict Xavier was a distinguished Imperial Naval Pilot who flew numerous missions for the Old Republic and later the Galactic Empire. Benedict was one of the few TIE Bomber pilots who successfully flew more than ten combat missions without being killed - he was later one of the first test pilots for the Assault Gunboat. Vladet's mother was Lieutenant Natalie Xavier, a nurse in the Imperial Medical Corps. The two met when Benedict took a leave on the planet of Talus and they have been together ever since.

There was little doubt what Vladet would be doing in his life, having been trained in the Imperial Military way of life from as long as he could walk. Having access to military flight simulators from age six, he quickly perfected his flying skills. The local Corellian Sector Police (CorSec) unit even allowed Vladet to fly one of their Z-95 Headhunters on rare occasions, with the unit Commander being very impressed with young Vladet's natural skills. After two years of training in CorSec simulators the security force was dissolved and became the Public Safety Service which limited the time Vladet could train as the PSS was more interested in snooping than solving crimes. Vladet would not lose his piloting skills, however, and continued to train when he could until he was ready to graduate from school.

Vladet applied to the Imperial Naval Academy on Prefsbelt IV in 15 ABY when he turned seventeen years old. Due to his parents' backgrounds he was admitted without question and accepted to the Academy's two year plan which would allow him to earn a degree - Vladet's course of study would allow him to bypass the almost suicidal path of a standard TIE Fighter pilot.

Prefsbelt IV and the Outer Rim

15 ABY to 18 ABY

Vladet and other Cadets training at the Naval Academy on Prefsbelt IV.

Vladet found life at the Imperial Naval Academy fascinating and exciting. He had been training on military flight simulators for many years but Vlad also found he had a passion for political debate as well. During his two years at the Academy he spent his time training in a large variety of TIE starfighters and other ships including transports, freighters, and even some Rebel and pirate starfighters. In addition he received officer, leadership, marksmanship, and self-defense training. After two years he graduated with a degree in Imperial Government and Politics and was eligible to serve as an officer aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer. Vladet's passion for flying remained strong during his two years at the Academy and he requested a position in the Imperial Navy's Special Operations division. Due to his record and training, he was assigned to the Nebulan B Frigate Fury as a Lieutenant Commander.

The Fury's mission was to infiltrate pirate groups in the Outer Rim and break them up before they could become a threat to the Empire. This was accomplished with the Fury's two squadrons of starfighters which posed as pirates wanting to join the various criminal organizations located within the Outer Rim. Vladet flew as a Squadron Commander for the T-Wing squadron although he was considered a Wing Commander of the Fury's starfighter compliment which also included an R-41 Starchaser squadron. For over two years Vladet and his fellow "pirates" broke up dozens of criminal gangs and engaged with various New Republic reconnaissance forces who were probing the area.

While the Fury was keeping the Outer Rim as secure as possible the Galactic Empire began a number of changes. Following the Corellian Insurrection the New Republic continued to expand its territory while the Empire began to lose ground in the war - Vladet never saw much actual combat against the New Republic save for a few short skirmishes against New Republic patrols. Eventually the Fury was recalled back to the main Imperial fleet which was now under the command of Admiral Daala although most officers recognized Gilad Pellaeon as the true leader of the Imperial Remnant. Daala thought there was little need for valuable assets to be wasted in the Outer Rim so the Fury was re-assigned to escort Daala's flagship while Vladet was transferred to the position of Flight Leader in a TIE Interceptor squadron based on an Interdictor Cruiser.

In Service of the Imperial Remnant

18 ABY to 21 ABY

Vladet was assigned as a Flight Leader in the 218th TIE Interceptor "Talon" Squadron stationed aboard the Interdictor Cruiser Stellar Web. Immediately following his assignment he was flown to his new ship to start his first Tour of Duty with the Imperial Navy proper. While Vlad thought the Empire was heading in the wrong direction he was nevertheless loyal to the Supreme Commander. Thankfully Daala gave the reigns of the Remnant to Pellaeon which improved things, at least for a while. Pellaeon was well respected throughout the fleet due to his strong loyalty to the military and the vast experience he gained while serving as Grand Admiral Thrawn's second-in-command.

Vladet's first major combat engagement against the New Republic was nine days later when the Stellar Web was assigned along with the Imperial Star Destroyer Death's Hand to trap and destroy a New Republic convoy. While the convoy was successfully destroyed, Vlad's squadron commander was killed in the battle. Due to his impressive amount of kills in the skirmish, he was given command of Talon Squadron and over the next few months the Stellar Web was deployed in more and more combat engagements against New Republic forces. Vladet was very happy with his new job and was quite pleased when the captain of the Stellar Web promoted him to the full Naval rank of Commander. As the Imperial war machine rolled along, Vladet realized he had found his niche.

Over the next three years Vladet flew for the Imperial Navy in a variety of different roles - following the promotion of Admiral Pellaeon and the retreat of the Imperial fleet from the Core, Vladet participated in many small to moderate skirmishes between New Republic and Imperial forces. As the Imperial Remnant fled further from Coruscant, the number of battles decreased significantly. The Stellar Web saw more combat than any other Interdictor Cruiser in the fleet as it was often paired with Pellaeon's Chimaera in trapping missions of New Republic reconnaissance forces. During one battle the Stellar Web suffered major damage from a barrage of enemy proton torpedoes. The Cruiser was sent to a repair yard and Vladet's squadron was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer Judicator.

After several dozen combat skirmishes against the New Republic Vladet finally earned a promotion to the position of Wing Commander and the rank of naval Captain. The Judicator, under command of captain Brandei, was regulated to convoy escort which did not sit well with Vladet. Pellaeon was a great Supreme Commander but the Admiral seemed to try and avoid combat wherever possible instead of hitting weaker targets and trying to expand the Remnant back into the Galactic Empire. A year passed and one day the entire Remnant was shocked when it had discovered Fleet Admiral Pellaeon would be signing a treaty with the New Republic to cease hostilities. While the Pellaeon-Gavrison Treaty did not outline any surrender Vladet felt it would be the final nail in the Remnant's coffin. More and more worlds flocked to the banner of the New Republic while the Remnant was left with a relatively small amount of territory ruled by an ignorant Council of Moffs. This was the final straw for Vladet who resigned his commission in disgust and began looking for his own way to take on the New Republic.

Several Imperial Warlords were always looking for experienced officers and soldiers, but Vladet did not find any he thought could accomplish their goals of overthrowing the New Republic. It was a few months later when he ran into a handful of on-leave Imperial pilots in a bar on the planet of Stornial. They belonged to the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps, based off on Aurora Prime in the Outer Rim. Vlad had heard offhand that they had possessed a Sovereign-class Star Destroyer and with their growing numbers and constant engagements with New Republic forces, he figured they were worth joining. He accompanied the pilots back to Aurora Prime where he officially joined the Emperor's Hammer.

The Emperor's Hammer

21 ABY to 26 ABY

Even though he had to take a rank demotion from Imperial Navy Captain to EH Lieutenant, Vladet was reasonably happy with his conditions. He served in the Emperor's Hammer for nearly four years holding a wide variety of positions. He was first assigned to Wing XIII's Valkyrie Squadron, stationed aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer Grey Wolf. As a Flight Member there he quickly proved himself by piloting an Assault Gunboat in many combat missions, keeping the New Republic out of Emperor's Hammer space. Vladet was promoted up to the position of Flight Leader in Odin Squadron in Wing XIII before being given command of Crusader Squadron. He served as Crusader Squadron Commander for well over a year and got promoted up to the EH Naval rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After stepping down as Squadron Commander, he served a brief stint in the elite Avenger Squadron before receiving a huge promotion to the Emperor's Hammer Command Staff.

Vladet was promoted to the position of fleet Security Officer (CS-9) and the rank of Rear Admiral. He served as the Security Officer for nearly a year during which time he introduced many new reforms into the fleet such as creating the new position of Judge Advocate General (JAG) and updating the EH Codes of Conduct, among other things. Near the end of his tenure as Security Officer, Vlad was promoted up to the prestigious Emperor's Hammer rank of Fleet Admiral although it didn't mean much to him by that time. In his high position he noticed the Emperor's Hammer was falling apart. The final straw was when his close friend and mentor Sector Admiral Khameir Sarin was dismissed as the fleet's Executive Officer. Vladet resigned his position shortly after and returned to the line ranks as a Colonel, trying to re-discover the thrill of combat. After a brief command hiatus he was chosen to become the next Wing XIII Commander aboard his old ship the ISD Grey Wolf. His command did not last long.

He received a holonet transmission from another old friend, Khadgar, who was starting up a new Imperial remnant on the planet of Archoron. With the Emperor's Hammer disgusting him more each day, Vladet lent his expertise and some personal resources to help the new Imperial Dominion start up. While he knew "Grand Admiral" Astatine was driving the EH into nothing, Vlad was loyal to the Grey Wolf in which he had served on for all of his EH career (with the exception of his stint as Security Officer, although he visited the Grey Wolf frequently) and was eager to bring the ship back to its former glory. He decided he could still serve "The Home of Legends" while lending support to his friends and their new Imperial organization.

The Imperial Dominion's infrastructure was about halfway complete when news of the new Imperial group reached the ears of Grand Admiral Astatine. The Imperial officers involved in the setup of the Dominion knew they could face expulsion from the Emperor's Hammer for this, given Astatine's unbalanced behavior, but Vladet still carried on with his new Wing Commander responsibilities. The night before he could give an opening address to his Wing, Vladet was in the officer's bar and lounge of the Grey Wolf with his good friend Joey C, who happened to be the newly appointed Commodore of the Star Destroyer. After several rounds Vlad received an urgent message from some of his contacts around the fleet. During his tenure as Security Officer, Vladet had built up a very large information network inside and outside of the fleet. His contact within the Command Staff offices aboard the SSSD Sovereign had alerted him that Astatine had just issued an order to the Intelligence Division and Internal Security Bureau to remove all fleet access for about a dozen individuals all connected with the new Imperial Dominion. Joey and Vlad knew their time was over in the Emperor's Hammer and immediately started following their emergency contingency plans to escape EH territory. After a farewell shot at the bar they immediately gathered their personal belongings and fled the Aurora system in their personal transports. One hour later, EH internal security moved in on the ship and created a lock down. The Grey Wolf and many other ships around the fleet would not recover from this mass expulsion and were decommissioned shortly after.

He was first assigned to House Exar Kun in Clan Plagueis where he developed his initial powers. In Plagueis he concentrated on studying the ancient texts of the Brotherhood and slowly developed as a Dark Jedi. Shortly into his training, Vladet became bored with his superiors and fellow Jedi, claiming them to be "inferior." With the Rite of Supremacy approaching, Vladet knew he could not prove himself if he were to remain with Clan Plagueis. Using his contacts he managed to transfer into the elite Clan Taldryan the day before the Rite started.

Vlad quickly showed his worth to Taldryan, amassing a large amount of honor and points for his new Clan. Following his impressive performance in the Rite of Supremacy, he was promoted to Aedile and eventually Envoy of House Dinaari. He did not have time to enjoy his promotions due to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the Antei system. While he was now a leader of the Clan, Vladet felt his skills as a starfighter pilot would better serve Taldryan during the war. He led numerous squadrons into battle against the Vong (and eventually other Clans as well), piloting a shielded TIE Interceptor. While the war only lasted about a week, Vlad earned his promotion to the prestigious rank of Dark Jedi Knight and was able to finish building his personal lightsaber.

Despite the best efforts of Taldryan, who was easily the most powerful and successful Clan during the war, the Yuuzhan Vong were able to capture the Brotherhood stronghold of Antei and drive the remaining forces of the Brotherhood into retreat. During Taldryan's fleet consolidation, Dinaari's Quaestor, Sithspawn "Ziggy" Taldrya, resigned from his position. Rising to the position of Dinaari Quaestor, Vladet continued to serve Taldryan while concentrating on his studies in order to further advance his powers for the Imperial cause, passing into the ranks of the Equites shortly after Taldryan's withdrawal from Brotherhood controlled space. After serving as a leader of House Dinaari for an extended period of time he was accepted as the Right Hand of Justice in the Brotherhood's Chamber of Justice.

Character Information

Physical Appearance

Vladet is a fairly lightweight and tall human. He used to wear his black hair very short until he joined the Emperor's Hammer where he let it grow out a little. Having grown up in an Imperial family and serving in the military for a long time he prefers to wear uniforms with a slight military flair. He does not like wearing long robes or any excessive amount of clothing so unless it has a paramilitary look, Vlad will most likely not wear it unless absolutely necessary (i.e. formal occasions).

Demeanor

Cold and calculating is what most people would describe Vlad as. Most people who have served with him have rarely seen him smile although once he is off duty he is far more relaxed. While working Vladet demands the best and can seem socially distant although this depends on who he is around. He also walks with military precision in public, although he relaxes this practice in private, especially among his peers. An interesting note is that Vlad does not really like Jedi, Dark or Light. He sees the Force as a tool that can be used to achieve various things, good or bad. Many years of military service have made Vlad perhaps one of the most rigid and disciplined Jedi to be in the Brotherhood, although his military nature has slackened a bit over the years. Strategy and precision is what he relies on, rather than emotion and raw power like most Dark Jedi. The Force, while a useful tool, is just a tool and nothing more. Vladet does not believe in the dependency of any one thing for eventually it will be exploited, just like the Yuuzhan Vong exploited the Brotherhood's reliance on the Force during their invasion of Antei.

Tied for Best New Member of Clan Taldryan (2007) award.
Has earned the Taldryan's "Claw of Dinaari" award (5/13/07).
Highest EH Rank: Fleet Admiral
Highest BHG Rank: Master

The character of Vladet Xavier is over six years old and has undergone many different changes. The author always thought the name "Vlad" was cool as well as "Xavier." Vladimir Xavier did not sound very correct so it was turned into Vladet Xavier which was much more unique than Vladimir (Vladet is pronounced Vla-debt). As far as the author can tell, this is a rather original and unique name on the internet. The character history has undergone three major changes so far (to better reflect Star Wars continuity as well as the online clubs he has been in) and he hopes this one - currently under major revision and construction - will be the last before he moves out of this phase in his life.

However, when Ysanne Isard assumed control of the Imperial Military things began to fall apart - supply shipments became less frequent and morale started getting low in the task force. Eventually the level of supplies and power were so low among the task force, the ''Fury's'' escort of four Modular Conveyors were forced to be abandoned and destroyed in order to transfer their remaining power and supplies into the ''Fury''; A month later Director Isard ordered the ''Fury'' to report to Imperial Center.

-Vladet's first combat engagement against the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/New_Republic New Republic] was two days later when the ''Stellar Web'' was assigned along with the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Death's Hand'' to trap and destroy a New Republic convoy. While the convoy was successfully destroyed, Vlad's squadron commander was killed in the battle. Due to his impressive amount of kills in the skirmish, he was given command of Talon Squadron. Over the next few months the ''Stellar Web'' was deployed in more and more combat engagements against New Republic forces. Vladet was very happy with his new job and was quite pleased when the captain of the ''Stellar Web'' promoted him to the full Naval rank of Commander. As the Imperial war machine rolled along, Vladet realized he had found his niche.
-[[image:Stellar_Web.jpg|thumb|right|The Interdictor Cruiser ''Stellar Web'' pulling a New Republic reconnaissance group out of hyperspace near Remnant space]]Over the next year Vladet flew for the Imperial Navy in a variety of different roles - following the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn and the retreat of the Imperial fleet from the Core, Vladet participated in many small skirmishes between New Republic and Imperial forces. As the [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Remnant Imperial Remnant] fled further from Coruscant, the number of battles decreased significantly. The ''Stellar Web'' saw more combat than any other Interdictor Cruiser in the fleet as it was often paired with Pellaeon's ''Chimaera'' in trapping missions of New Republic reconnaissance forces. During one battle the ''Stellar Web'' suffered major damage from a barrage of enemy proton torpedoes. The Cruiser was sent to a repair yard and Vladet's squadron was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Judicator''.
-Command of the Imperial Military eventually fell to the Reborn Emperor. After converting New Republic hero and Jedi Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side of the Force, Vladet thought things might stabilize for the Galactic Empire although he held doubts about Skywalker. Vader had been Palpatine's servant before Skywalker and had turned on his master and now the son of that very servant was to serve Palpatine? It was still better than the current situation the Empire was in and the Imperial military managed to make a good push towards Coruscant again ... until Skywalker and his friends killed the Reborn Emperor, driving the Empire into retreat once more. Disgusted with how things were going and the constant change of Imperial Command, Vladet resigned his commissioned and began looking for a stable alternative to the Galactic Empire.
-Several Imperial Warlords were always looking for experienced officers and soldiers, but Vladet did not find any he thought could accomplish their goals of overthrowing the New Republic. Several months later he ran into a handful of Imperial pilots in a bar on the planet of Stornial. They belonged to the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps, based off on Aurora Prime in the Outer Rim. Vlad had heard offhand that they had possessed a ''Sovereign''-class Star Destroyer and with their growing numbers and constant engagements with New Republic forces, he figured they were worth joining. He accompanied the pilots back to Aurora Prime where he officially joined the Emperor's Hammer.

 [[image:ISD_II.jpg|thumb|right|The ''Imperial II''-class Star Destroyer ''Grey Wolf'' served as Vladet's home in the Emperor's Hammer for the vast majority of his career there. It was the most active and dedicated ship in the Hammer's fleet before it was decommissioned following Vladet's expulsion. The ''Grey Wolf'' was home to Wing XIII, "The Home of Legends" which was home to some of the most famous and skilled pilots in EH history. The current whereabouts of the Destroyer are unknown.]]The Imperial Dominion's infrastructure was about halfway complete when news of the new Imperial group reached the ears of Grand Admiral Astatine. The Imperial officers involved in the setup of the Dominion knew they could face expulsion from the Emperor's Hammer for this, given Astatine's unbalanced behavior, but Vladet still carried on with his new Wing Commander responsibilities. The night before he could give an opening address to his Wing, Vladet was in the officer's bar and lounge of the ''Grey Wolf'' with his good friend Joey C, who happened to be the newly appointed Commodore of the Star Destroyer. After several rounds Vlad received an urgent message from some of his contacts around the fleet. During his tenure as Security Officer, Vladet had built up a very large information network inside and outside of the fleet. His contact within the Command Staff offices aboard the SSSD Sovereign had alerted him that Astatine had just issued an order to the Intelligence Division and Internal Security Bureau to remove all fleet access for about a dozen individuals all connected with the new Imperial Dominion. Joey and Vlad knew their time was over in the Emperor's Hammer and immediately started following their emergency contingency plans to escape EH territory. After a farewell shot at the bar they immediately gathered their personal belongings and fled the Aurora system in their personal transports. One hour later, EH internal security moved in on the ship and created a lock down. The ''Grey Wolf'' and many other ships around the fleet would not recover from this mass expulsion and were decommissioned shortly after.
-Arriving in the Archoron system, Vladet felt he needed a new pace of life. He became Brigade Commander of the 1st Archoron Royal Legion Brigade, holding the rank of General. After several months he worked his way up to the rank of Field Marshal and led several successful missions against nearby enemy forces (New Republic and Imperial Warlords alike). The New Republic, however, quickly took notice of this new Imperial remnant and moved in to squash it before it could grow to be a threat. The Dominion had not been fully setup yet internally and there were defense vulnerabilities as well as staffing difficulties. Vladet had just returned from a special operations mission when alarm klaxons went off at the Army Headquarters building. A massive New Republic assault force had entered the system and was pulverizing the the outer defense platforms. All fighters and capital ships were sent to meet the New Republic forces but they never stood a chance. The Imperial Dominion was literally destroyed with only a few dozen individuals surviving the battle. Vlad had strapped himself into his personal Assault Transport in order to give the Dominion capital ships some support but it had not been enough to turn the battle. After destroying two Corellian Corvettes and damaging a Mon Calamari MC80 Cruiser with his heavy rocket load, several New Republic fighters took notice of him and chased him away from the battle. He was forced to enter hyperspace before they could destroy him or take him prisoner.

 He was first assigned to [[House Exar Kun]] in [[Clan Plagueis]] where he developed his initial powers. In Plagueis he concentrated on studying the ancient texts of the Brotherhood and slowly developed as a Dark Jedi. Shortly into his training, Vladet became bored with his superiors and fellow Jedi, claiming them to be "inferior." With the Rite of Supremacy approaching, Vladet knew he could not prove himself if he were to remain with Clan Plagueis. Using his contacts he managed to transfer into the elite [[Clan Taldryan]] the day before the Rite started.
