Character History
Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae, Marshal of the Armies of Tarentum, Death Dealer of Clan Tarentum and Executor of the will of the Sith King, Justinian Arcanious Khyron. In the span of his life, Maxamillian has spilled enough blood to fill the oceans of Yridia II three times over. In defense of his Clan or upon the will of his Master, it matters little. His hands are stained as red as the blade of his lightsaber, and he revels in it.
Born into one of the older families of Chandrila, Maxamillian grew up balking at the democratic nature of the planet. Every citizen had a direct vote in government affairs. Such democracy destroyed the power of the old aristocratic houses, such as his. What he found worst was the way in which most of those families didn't care, believing fully in their Democracy. This outraged the young Oberst and led him to many extremes. Upon returning from the Imperial Academy on Caridia, gazzetted a Lieutenant in the Navy, Maxamillian quickly worked to bring the family's finances under his control. He contracted the murder of his brother, sisters, and personally saw to the deaths of his mother and father. Although the circumstances of their deaths were peculiar, the government was unable to find evidence against him and the Oberst family fortune was his.
Three years after the death of his parents, already a Commander in the Imperial Navy, Oberst was charged with the torture, and subsequent deaths, of several members of the Oberst Household Staff – the oldest case dating back to when was only thirteen. With his options limited to imprisonment and running, he ran. Quickly moving large sums of money into numbered accounts, he fled Chandrila and the Imperial Navy. A marked man, he had few options and for the longest time flew between outback settlement to outback settlement in the Outer Rim.
Eight months into his flight, Maxamillian was approached by an acquaintance who knew vague details of his background: that he was an ex-Imperial Officer on the run. The man offered him a job, and a chance to flex his military muscle. Maxamillian joined the Rebel Alliance and became a fleet strategist. Quickly training and bringing the pilots of the Rebellion's Y and B-Wings into top shape, he became a strategist and planner in the Alliance for his ability to conduct bombing raids on installations and torpedo runs on convoys with marked success.
Following the Rebellion's victory at the Battle of Endor, Oberst found himself tied to the, newly christened, New Republic's Second Fleet, in charge of coordinating bomber and heavy assault units. His past, however, quickly caught up with him. Upon liberating the Core Worlds from Imperial control, Chandrillan authorities sought to arrest and imprison the man who was tried in absentia. Oberst ran once more. Leaving a bloody swath of dead Republic officers behind him.
This time, his escape took him back towards the Outer Rim, and the border sectors between the nascent New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. The area was rife with engagements and skirmishes. It proved profitable for the young fugitive, who had escaped with a B-Wing Heavy Assault Fighter. Although not a fast ship, the armaments made it something to be sought after, and he found work as a mercenary. Flying for whatever pirate captain or private contractor needing that little extra firepower. It was in one of these engagements, serving as an escorting for a convoy carrying munitions to a Republic friendly station. The convoy was hit, and hit hard. The puzzling thing about the raid was that the raiders jumped in a MC80 Star Cruiser, which the convoy had mistaken for a Republic escort…until the X- and Y-Wings opened fire
