Daniel Stephens

Early Years

Stephens was born in the city of Bela Vista on Corellia. As most small boys did he enjoyed playing such games as cops and robbers, and as he grew older his facination with being a cop never died out. Soon after his 18 birthday he enlisted into the Corellian Security Forces (CorSec), and graduated from detention school with honors and took a job working in a Detention Facility near his hometown of Bela Vista. He always did well in his job especially in knowing where to look in contraband searches, or what to ask a person when interrogation after fights and such. Even to the point he caught his Major's eye and recieved a promotion for investigative work on the street.

His performance in the field never slackened and while he enjoyed the attention he was recieving from fellow co-workers, he was recieving attention from a source he knew he didnt want to be involved in. The Diktat at the time was not a kind man, always looking to strengthen his grip on the system. He had his eye sat on Stephens as a possible Force-user, one that he could train for his own intentions. Recieving tips from his co-workers he left the planet, not wanting to enter New Republic space for fear they would capture and interrogate him about the Corellian System he headed for the region of space controlled by the Emperor's Hammer.

Emperor's Hammer years

Soon after arriving on Aurora, the home planet of the EH, he decided to enlist in the EH Armed Forces. Taking a shuttle to the Platform Daedalus he took his Armed Forces Entrance Exam. Thinking he would just join the grunts on the ground as an enlisted man, he was suprised as he was pulled aside and asked if he would like to join the pilots program and accept a commission as Sub-Leutenant. He immediatly agreed and was transferred to the Imperial Star Destroyer Colossus, into Omicron Squadron. It was here he met someone who would prove to a valuble ally for years to come, Kromtal Stormfyld. Even though he was Stephens Squadron Commander the two became friends. Over the course of a year Stormfyld left the Hammer for places unknown, and Stephens eventually became Squadron Commander of Omicron. After serving his Tour of Duty, he temporaraly resigned his commission to complete testing for admittance into the Dark Brotherhood.

Stephens tests proved he had a natural affinity for the Force, but to his instructors dismay he never would fully come to the Dark Side. He walked the line of a Grey Jedi, but was eventually promoted to Dark Jedi Knight, and Aedile of House Dorimad Sol in Clan Scholae Palatinae. After serving his tour in the House, he took his leave of the Brotherhood due to his old Wing Commander requesting him to rejoin the Fleet to open a new Squadron, Iota Squadron. Quickly forming the squad Stephens set out to prove to those on the Colossus that his new powers and skill were not to be triffled with. Soon Iota had risen to the top of the Wing, being promoted to Captain and then to Major. Only things were not meant to be, he was soon betrayed by one of his Flight Leaders who threatened a mutiny on him if he did not step down as Commander. Senseing other things were at work at the time he stepped down, and silently bid his time within the wing.

Several months went by and he was soon contacted by his old friend Kromtal Stormfyld about joining him on the Command Staff as his Command Attache. Leaving the Colossus Stephens joined up and was immediatly promoted to Rear Admiral. Several months passed and he was promoted to Vice Admiral. Soon though discord arose from the ranks, and the Brotherhood split off. At this time sensing he should stay Stephens stayed and stepped down from his position and was given the rank of Colonel for his time in the Command Staff. Taking his well deserved leave Stephens returned to Corellia to visit his family. Knowing he could well handle anything the Diktat threw at him he enjoyed his time spent on the planet which numbered several months. It was also at this time that he met his future fiancee. During this time of meditation he decided to join the "Rogue" brotherhood as he sensed he had a future and a home there. Leaving his family behind once again he left for the Antei system, swinging by the Aurora system to resign his commission in the EH Forces.

Dark Jedi Brotherhood Years

Arriving in the Antei system he was interrogated several times by Dark Council staff to test if he was a traitor meaning to harm the newly placed Brotherhood. Sensing his well intentions they let him go with coordinates to the new CSP system. Soon after arriving he was asked by the Clan Leadership if he would take the position of QUA of House Caliburnus. Taking the position however was too taxing on Stephens and he soon found himself burned out of command. Stepping down for the more quite life within the Clan he sat for 2 years waiting. After the time had passed war was declared within the House between House Caliburnus and House Dorimad Sol, helping his current house win the war Stephens was promoted to the rank of Sith Warrior, as well as Clan Envoy. Several months passed by and he wanted more. He was contacted by House Satal Keto summit in reguards to the position of Aedile for the House and he transferred there. Sitting under the leadership of two QUA, he was once again promoted to Sith Battlemaster for handling the House affairs during both a Clan War and his Quaestors sickness.

He was soon promoted to Quaestor of the House near the beginning of the Great Jedi War, and lead his house through most of the campaign when he was stricken with a strange ailment and had to once again step aside. Fighting his sickness he soon recovered only to find that his replacement had been struck down by the spirit of Lord Plagueis. The newly seated Quaestor once again took volunteers from the House for Aedile and Stephens stepped up, and was re-chosen. It has yet to be seen if he will leave his mark on House Satal Keto........

Trivia

It is of interest that while this member does not have the training needed to wield 2 lightsabers simultaniously, he does wield his ASP baton from his CorSec days in his off hand.

The name Daniel Stephens, in all the unoriginality in the world, is from my own name. I didnt like anything else at the time of joining, and I dont like the idea of changing it now, as it would be confusing.

I have also went by the name Andrew Wiggin, during the split so I could see what group I wanted to stick with. The name is from the main character of the books Enders Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind.
