Ric Taldrya

Career and Background

General Ric Hunter began his life in Wildspace at an Imperial outpost. His father was a career Republic Navy officer named Captain Maxwwal Hunter, who had served during the Clone Wars. After the Great Jedi Purge and the end of the war, he was sent to serve with a newly formed Imperial task force to map out the region of space known as the Unknown Regions. His taskforce was attached to a Chiss task force and together they explored the region.

It was there that Maxwwal met his future wife, Jurri'heshu'plenegu, a member of the Chiss taskforce. Since he was in command of a Arquitens-class light cruiser and she was a navigator with experience in the anomalies that were common in that part of space, they worked together quite often. It was inevitable that they became close and eventually married. The union produced three offspring with Ric being the oldest. He was followed by a sister named Brielle and a youngest brother named Aric. While Maxwwal continued to command, Jurri raised the children on an Imperial Outpost with the help of her sister.

Once the Ric was old enough, he went to a military academy on a Chiss Ascendency world. He never quite belonged due to his pale skin with only a hint of blue. The thing that mostly identified him as Chiss was his red eyes. He was the subject of bullying by many of his classmates until he finally succeeded in besting them in combat.

While his parents were exploring a dangerous system, their ship was caught in an ion storm and lost all power. The momentum of its flight caused it crash in a gas giant, killing all on board. Ric and his siblings were then sent to live with family on Corellia. Once he reached the age of seventeen, he entered the Imperial Flight Academy and became a TIE Fighter pilot. He was an accomplished pilot and was serving on a Star Destroyer under Grand Admiral Thrawn around Lothal until the Grand Admiral was lost and his remaining forces were dispersed to other ships after the fall of Lothal. Ric was serving on the Chimaera II during the battle. He had landed in the hanger bay to refuel and rearm his TIE Interceptor when the second Death Star exploded. The wave of death caused him to drop to his knees. He had always been a gifted pilot and it was here that he learned that he was a Force Sensitive was the reason why.

Ric got to his feet and found an Assault Gunboat that had just finished rearming and launched from the ship. He set course for Wildspace and made the jump to lightspeed, leaving Imperial Service behind.

Personal Vessels

Ric has 2 Tyderium class shuttles that were gifted to him by 2 different SDIRs for his service as Praetorian COmmander. He also owns an old YT-1300 freighter from his days between the service to the Empire and his joining the Emperors Hammer Strike Fleet.
