Ravian Pulastra is a former New Republic soldier who now works as a mercenary. He is currently in the service of Jonah Kraul and commander of the Crimson Tide ground forces. Clan Plagueis is unaware of Pulastra’s involvement with the Crimson Tide at this time.
History
The Dashade named Ravian Pulastra found his place in the universe as First Sergeant in the New Republic Army. His strength, his aggression, his temper – all found a place unleashed dispatching the enemies of the New Republic, system by system, planet by planet. He had risen through the ranks quickly and found his calling. He had instilled those in his charge with his personal motto, “Think Not – Fight Hot.” His company ripped through the remnants of the Galactic Empire, bringing death to those who had oppressed his species.
In the course of eradicating the Imperial Remnant the New Republic deemed their forces had achieved success. Ravian’s company, and many like them, were disbanded, at once stripping him of his place in the universe and his goal – to remove all traces of the Galactic Empire from the galaxy. The Dashade was disgusted with this turn of events and continued, along with his loyal soldiers, to combat the Imperial Remnant wherever he could find it. Neither he nor his men had the funds to continue to wage their private war and the company turned to bounty hunting and mercenary work.
In the course of their efforts, the Dashade traced an Imperial faction tied to the Emperor’s Hammer in the Acarr System. Because the company had limited funds and had purchased faulty information, Pulastra’s company found itself facing a major confrontation with Dark Jedi. Again because of a lack of resources, Ravian Pulastra was forced to ally himself with an ex-Imperial, Jonah Kraul, in anticipation of the battle with Dark Jedi.
Upon arrival at the Acarr System, Pulastra and Kraul found a battle already underway. The battle was interrupted by an anomaly in the form of the imminent destruction of the system’s star. Taking immediate action, Pulastra and Kraul chose the same coordinates of one side of the battle. That trail led them to the Crimson Tide, one of the sides fleeing the supernova. Upon learning that the Crimson Tide was facing Dark Jedi, Jonah Kraul, in part out of a desire to test his forces and in part a hatred for Jedi, whether Dark or Light, allied himself with them.
Pulastra objected to the alliance. Unrelenting, Kraul declined further transportation to Pulastra and his men. Left with no choice, Pulastra approached the Crimson Tide and, out of necessity, offered his services to Calliban Crimson. Crimson accepted and has made Pulastra and his forces an integral part of the planned aggression against Clan Plagueis.
