== Biography ==

=== Childhood ===

Before Bronx joined [[TIE Corps]] he was a lonely child that never knew his parents because they left him alone when he was 1 year old. He didn't have any friends on Csilla. He did go to the academy there and learned how to talk, write and he learned about the history of the Republic. He always found it fascinating how the Empire got formed and how the Republic fell. He did eventually meet his parents again when he was 16 years old. That was when he went to [[Sif]], he always wanted to go there. When he met his parents they were living an normal life where they worked for the Empire and make money. He stayed there for 1 year.

=== Adulthood ===

Bronx was still fascinated with the history of the Republic when he turned 18, he also knew it almost all of it. He went to work as Historian in the [[Phare System]] to teach children about the history of the Republic. He also went to his parents twice a month to see how they were doing. While he was working as Historian in [[Sif]] he finally saw the [[Imperial Weapons and Tactics School|Imperial Weapons and Tactics School (IWATS)]]. He instantly fell in love with being an pilot again and he instantly went to the academy to pursue his dream of becoming an pilot again. After hard work and long months he was able to achieve his dream of becoming an pilot and earned the rank of [[Sub-Lieutenant]]. He was very happy and went to his parents house with the dress uniform on to show his achievement.

=== TIE Corps ===

Bronx was able to pursue his dream of becoming a pilot. He was able to go to [[Rho Squadron]], a squadron in [[Wing II]] on the [[ISDII Warrior]]. He did enjoy and still does enjoy his time on the squadron, and because of his dedication towards the [[Emperor's Hammer]], he was able to achieve the rank of [[Lieutenant]].

Hav Antiel is a former pilot and officer for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]]. As a flag officer, Antiel reached the rank of [[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Admiral]] serving as [[Commodore]] of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[Command Attache|Command Attaché]] to the [[Logistics Officer]]. As a pilot, Antiel reached the rank of [[General (TIE Corps)|General]] as Squadron Commander of [[Epsilon Squadron|Epsilon]], [[Sin Squadron|Sin]], and [[Rho Squadron|Rho]] squadrons.

Born into Dosuun's Royal House of Sosuuna, Hav chose a military career over politics, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform [[Daedalus|Daedalus]] in the [[Phare System]]. Antiel earned recognition for his single-player flying, engaging reports, and classic squadron patch graphics. After a six-year career in the TIE Corps, Antiel returned to Dosuun to lead the Royal Planetary Navy.

==Biography==

===Ancestry===
At the time of his birth, Hav was third in line of succession to his grandfather, King Van II, as King of Dosuun, but is currently sixth in line after his mother, Princess Mair, Dutchess of Sosuuna, his older sister Princess Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, and Morii's three children.

Hav's great-great-grandfather, Van I, was the first King of Dosuun, one of the first human inhabitants of the planet, and founder of the royal House of Sosuuna. Van I issued letters patent in 120 BBY declaring his heirs as members of the House of Sosuuna and bearers of its name. Hav's great-grandmother, Maur, the first queen regnant of Dosuun, oversaw the increased presence of the Republic on the planet. The policies Maur put in place allowed an easy transfer of executive power to the Empire during the reign of her son, Hav's grandfather, Van II. After taking the throne following Maur's death in 50 BBY, Van II has become Dosuun's longest-serving sovereign. Although Van II witnessed the rise and fall of the Empire, Dosuun has remained relatively unaffected by the turmoil and changing political climate of the galaxy during his reign.

Ancestors on Hav's father's side trace their lineage to Corellia. His paternal great-great-great-grandfather, Rebus Antiel, was a wealthy Corellian merchant who emigrated to Dosuun following the fall of the House of Solo. Hav's paternal great-grandfather, Ran Antiel, worked to increase then-Senator Palpatine's support among Wild Space sectors. During the Clone Wars, Ran supplied infrastructure support to the Grand Army of the Republic during the Outer Rim Campaign. During this time, the royal family was eager to prove their loyalty to the nascent Empire. Sovereign Queen Maur, Hav's maternal great-grandmother, granted Ran the dukedom of Seelona and, by extension, proximity to the royal family. The next thirty years would witness the Antiel family intertwine with the House of Sosuuna, and it was little surprise when King Van II announced Princess Mair's bethrothal to Robus of Seelona in 10 BBY.

===Early Life===
Hav was born on the royal yacht Aledama on the 7th month of 7 BBY as the second child of Mair and Robus of Seelona. He was christened with the royal name Hav on return to Meer Castle by his grandfather, Van II. His symbolic regents at the time of his birth were his paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, his sister Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, his paternal uncle Garm (a former Imperial pilot), Lady Lynadim (his maternal cousin), and Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond.

Like their royal precedessors, Hav's parents eschewed the Core World tradition of excessively-long royal names, settling on the monosyllabic "Hav" that would be their son's name both inside and outside of Meer Castle. Because he had not been granted a dukedom (a title traditionally bestowed shortly before male heirs are married), Hav retained the broad title Prince of Dosuun.

Hav's paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, wanted his grandchildren to have a broad range of experiences before settling into the relative monotony of royal life. Hav's Uncle Garm played an important role in this regard, encouraging Hav to study art, music, sport, and flying, frequently inviting young Hav to join him on his starship exploits. Hav frequently joined his parents on tours of the Core Worlds, and he eventually developed an interest in exploring Wild Space. As Hav approached adulthood, he found it difficult to choose between a future spent in space or on Dosuun.

===Education===
Hav received a private education from tutors at Meer Castle during his primary years. At age 13, Hav enrolled at Cruthers School, an independent boarding school founded by Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond. At Cruthers, Hav took up smashball and joined the school's strings ensemble. Hav studied literature, history, art, music, and engineering at high level, obtaining certifications in all except engineering. Admiral DeGrond took an interest in young Hav during his time at Cruthers, often granting Hav special privileges and at one point inviting the young prince aboard his Victory-class Star Destroyer Auspice.

Following his matriculation from Cruthers, Hav was torn between his interests in music and education and the desire stoked by Admiral DeGrond to serve in Dosuun's Planetary Navy. At 18, he was old enough to earn flight certification, but Hav's family pressured him to continue his education in the Core Worlds like his mother and grandfather. It was Hav's Uncle Garm who convinced the young prince to enroll at Dammon University on Corulag due to its proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division facility.

At Dammon University, Hav embarked on a degree course in music but later changed his main subject to history, going on to earn mastery certification with honors. While at the university, he represented Corulag in Quetarra Center's Quetarra-Thon, placing as second runner-up. It was during his time at Dammon that Hav began using the surname "Antiel" among his classmates. Proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division provided opportunities to witness experimental craft, which regularly flew over the university. This experience cemented Hav's desire to become a pilot, even as he was dedicating his time to his studies.

==Military Career==
After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space and subsequent kidnapping, Hav decided on a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus. While onboard the Daedalus, Hav completed practical training in the TIE/ln, TIE/sa, and TIE/IN and simulated training in the TIE/ad, TIE/D, and Alpha-class Xg-1 Assault Gunboat and Missile Boat. The young pilot developed an appreciation for the classic unshielded TIE craft that his uncle had piloted during the Galactic Civil War. He found that the simplicity of the earlier TIE Series models demanded creativity and ingenuity in battle, whereas later models (the TIE/D and Missile Boat in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

===Epsilon Squadron===
Upon earning his flight certification, Hav was assigned to Epsilon Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Hammer|Hammer]]. Under the command of [[Squadron Commander|CMDR]] [[Dunta Polo]] and [[Flight Leader|flight leader]] [[Jarion Renalds]], Hav began taking missions in a Missile Boat Mk.II designated Epsilon 3-2. Hav earned a promotion to full lieutenant in his first month of service by winning a contest to design the squadron patch for the newly reactivated Sin Squadron. Within a month, Hav had earned his first merit award, an Imperial Security Medal for completing 14 missions.

A voracious student, Hav took the opportunity to further his training and certifications through the [[Imperial Weapons And Tactics School|Imperial Weapons and Tactics School]], earning his first Iron Stars for leading Epsilon in number of missions and courses completed. He quickly earned the Commendation of Bravery for completing 30 missions, and he was soon challenging Hammer veterans at the top of the Kill Board.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Epsilon2-3overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel piloting TIE/ad Epsilon 2-3 in support of ISDII Hammer.]]</div>
After a promotion to lieutenant commander, Hav was assigned as the lead for Epsilon's third flight. To celebrate, Hav christened his Missile Boat the "Pink Bantha" after his former music group. However, the celebration would be short-lived: during an escort mission, Hav crashed into debris, damaging his ship and causing severe injuries to his upper body. The young pilot was rescued by a shuttle from Tweezers squadron. The injury grounded Hav for ten months and caused lingering trauma that left Hav less eager to take missions.

To make himself useful as he healed, Hav sought more leadership within the squadron, and Polo assigned Hav as the lead of Flight III. This temporary "downtime" eventually stretched out to nearly a year of desk duty for Antiel. As he healed up and earned clearance to resume flight activity, Antiel found that his nerves were keeping him from flying. Merely approaching his ship caused tremors in his hands, and he sought inventive reasons to explain his flight absences. Hav knew that his career was at a crossroads; he would either need to start flying or find another way to make himself useful to the Emperor's Hammer.

When Polo announced that he would be resigning from the lead of Epsilon after eight years in command, Antiel saw an answer. His application for command of Epsilon was met a reply from then Hammer Commodore [[Anahorn Dempsey]] noting that Antiel had been "a wee bit invisible" over the last year. Despite Dempsey's reservations, Antiel was selected to succeed Polo as Epsilon CMDR, and the newly-minted Commander rang in 25 ABY as Epsilon 1-1.

However, Antiel's tenure got off to a rocky start. His plan—focus on the desk duties and hold fast to regulation and decorum—quickly proved unpopular with both his pilots and the Commodore. Weekly squadron reports were met with complaints about formatting. At one point, the only pilot to participate in Antiel's intra-squadron competitions was the Dempsey, the Commodore. Antiel knew his best bet was to start flying again, but his old fears kept him from jumping back in the cockpit.

After less than two months in command, Antiel requested a transfer back to flight member status, thus resigning his commander rank commission. At the time, Antiel regarded the move as the low-water mark of his career but would later rate it as a career-making decision. Epsilon's new commander, [[Miles Prower|Lieutenant Commander Miles Prower]], was a former [[Wing Commander]] who had returned from the [[Reserves]] to helm Epsilon after Antiel's unexpected retirement. Curious about Antiel's change in form from his first years as an active flight member to a desk-bound commander, Prower reached out to Antiel, pushing him address the incident that caused him so much trepidation. Prower took time to get to know Antiel and even flew missions alongside the former commander to help him find his strengths again. The two developed an easy friendship that went beyond commander/flight member and would last as they both eventually rose to lead sister Star Destroyers for the TIE Corps.

With Prower's guidance, Antiel started to take on missions in the Missile Boat Mk.II christened "Pink Bantha III." After nearly a year of attempts, Antiel returned to the cockpit for his first active duty mission. A few months later, Antiel earned his first [[Bronze Star of the Empire]] for his flight activity and he began to make his way through the [[Fleet Commander's Honor Guard]] rankings. Halfway through 26 ABY, Antiel was stronger than ever, flying regular missions and challenging for the title of "Ace of the TIE Corps." Leaders within the TIE Corps were starting to take notice, and despite Antiel's insistence on staying a lowly Flight Member, it wouldn't be long before he was called to lead again.

===Sin Squadron===
At Lieutenant Colonel Prower's insistence, Antiel applied for command of Sin Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warrior. Sin held some significance for Antiel at that point; he had earned his promotion to full lieutenant by winning a contest to design Sin's new patch when the squadron was reactivated in 23 ABY. After three years aboard the Hammer, Antiel had some hesitation about his new ship. The Warrior had a reputation for skilled ace pilots who had little patience for inexperience. The Warrior and her pilots had won the annual [[Raise the Flag 2016|Raise the Flag]] wargame competition for the last three years, thereby earning honors as the Flagship of the TIE Corps.

When Antiel assumed command of Sin, the once-mighty squadron was in a state of disrepair. Under command of [[Plif|Colonel Plif]], Sin had challenged [[Theta]] for top squadron honors in its first two years of reactivation. But by the time Antiel inherited command, Sin was languishing in eighth place in activity, second only to Epsilon. In the words of previous commander [[Jarek La'an]], Sin was in "real danger of becoming unsustainable." It was clear that something needed to change. Antiel had been given a second chance with this command, and he knew the trajectory of his career was at stake.

<div style="float:left">[[File:Epsilon3-2overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel's most significant TC craft, the Missile Boat "Pink Bantha III"]]</div>
In his previous failed attempt at command, Antiel had focused on strict adherence to regulations and decorum. He largely kept to his office and relied on his flight leaders for communication with the pilots of Epsilon Squadron. As Sin Commander, however, Antiel make a conscious decision to humble himself to his pilots. He focused on flying missions and building relationships with his crew. He spent time meeting with pilots in the Warrior's cantina, regaling them with stories and listening to their ideas. He quickly identified a core group of pilots—AKA "Sinners"—whom he could trust and rely on.

Upon assuming command of Sin Squadron, Antiel found that a group of pilots had gone away without leave—earning pilot salaries and benefits without reporting for duty. Because of a culture of giving pilots the benefit of the doubt, previous commanders had largely looked the other way regarding AWOL pilots. However, Antiel believe that this culture was hindering the productivity of his pilots. Rather than protecting them, he found that this behavior made active pilots feel overlooked and underappreciated. For the duration of his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel regularly shipped pilots to the M/FRG [[Phoenix|Phoenix]] if they failed to meet monthly expectations.

Antiel determined that a "rebrand" would help Sin return to its former glory. In the first two months of his command, Antiel designed a new squadron patch with the colors of his alma mater, the maroon and gold of Cruthers. He charged his flight leaders with determining new flight nicknames and mottoes. Antiel christened Flight I "Hell’s Own" and chose the motto "We are as good as they say." Flight II leader [[Rando]] chose "Hell’s Wrath" and the motto "Reinforcements have arrived." [[Earnim Branet|Major Earnim Branet]] designated Flight III "Winged Hell" and coined the motto "Not even hell stops us."

During his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel began to feel comfortable in the cockpit again. He began taking regular missions and frequently challenged the Corps' top pilots on the Kill Board and began earning notice as a skilled, active pilot. He ended 25 ABY as the third-most active pilot behind stalwarts [[Pete Mitchell|Vice Admiral Pete Mitchell]] and General Anahorn Dempsey and entered 26 ABY as one of the most active pilots of the TIE Corps. He developed strong relationships not only with his pilots, but also with the Warrior's Commodores: first Mitchell and then Plif.

Under Antiel's commander, Sin began the steady return to legitimacy. In the next two Raise the Flag competitions, Sin improved to fifth and third place among TIE Corps squadrons, respectively. When SOO Mitchell was named as the next [[TIE Corps Commander]] and Warrior Commodore Admiral Plif was selected as the next [[Strategic Operations Officer]], Antiel felt friendly pressure to apply for the open position of Warrior Commodore.

===Warrior Commodore===
After a year in command of Sin Squadron, Antiel's star was rising. Plif's appointment to SOO left the Warrior without a Commodore, and Antiel felt confident that he was the right officer for the position. In 26 ABY, then [[Lieutenant Colonel (TIE Corps)|Lieutenant Colonel]] Antiel was placed in command of the Warrior and promoted to [[Rear Admiral (TIE Corps)|Rear Admiral]].

RA Antiel's first priority was to find new CMDRs for Sin and [[Theta Squadron|Theta]] Squadrons. Antiel named his top Flight Leader, [[Earnim Branet|Colonel Earnim Branet]] to lead Sin Squadron. [[Jarek La'an|General Jarek La'an]] volunteered for another tour of duty as Theta CMDR, having previously served in the role from 22-23 ABY. Antiel noted that he felt pressure to maintain the high performance of his predecessors. Former WarCOMs Pete Mitchell went on to become the next TCCOMs, and the Warrior had won every [[Raise the Flag]] since the ship was activated in 22 ABY.

<blockquote>''The ''Warrior'' belongs to her pilots. It's your ship, after all. We have a strong culture aboard the ''Warrior'', and I'm pleased with our trajectory. With that being said, there's always room for growth, and I want your voices to guide our next steps. My door is always open, and I hope you will reach out to me whenever you have ideas or concerns.''</blockquote>
<blockquote>—RA Hav Antiel's first ''Warrior'' report, 26 ABY</blockquote>

The Warrior continued to operate as the TIE Corps Flagship during Antiel's first year as Commodore. Antiel took a conservative approach, maintaining the ship-wide competitions and practices of his immediate predecessor, Plif. However, Antiel felt increasingly isolated in the position. As a squadron commander, Antiel interacted with his pilots daily and took missions on a regular basis. As an admiral, Antiel missed those direct connections. He also itched to fly missions. It wasn't strictly forbidden for Commodores to fly fighters, but Antiel missed the briefings, the scheduled flights, and the ready-room atmosphere of squadron life. He didn't feel the same thrill booking a flight crew for his TIE Advanced x1, Pink Bantha IV, and his flight activity dropped to 25% of his previous levels.

As the next [[Raise the Flag 2019|Raise the Flag]] competition approached, Antiel leaned on the Warrior's traditional approach, confident that the ship would retain its undefeated streak. In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|previous year's competition]], the Warrior had more than doubled the score of the Hammer. However, Antiel and the pilots of the Warrior were in for a rude awakening. The Hammer, led by veterans from Epsilon Squadron, formed a plan to take the lead early. They stormed the scoreboard with their combined efforts and demoralized the Warrior and her Commodore.

When the contest was over, the Hammer was the new TIE Corps Flagship. Antiel had become the first ''Warrior'' Commodore to lose Raise the Flag.

Defeat in RtF coupled with Antiel's lingering feelings of isolation. He dreamt of returning to Sin Squadron as its Commander and earning promotion to General. He longed for regular missions and briefings in the ready room. His career trajectory was pointed at the [[TIE Corps Command Staff]], and a logical next step would be to apply for [[Combat Operations Officer]] or [[Strategic Operations Officer]]. Antiel knew those positions meant more logistics and desk responsibilities and less time to connect with pilots and fly his personal fighter. Sinking into a professional slump, Antiel started to slack on his duties, failing to issue reports and falling behind on his duties for the first time in his career.

===Rho Squadron===
After nearly two years in command of the ''Warrior,'' Antiel learned that FA Plif, now the TIE Corps Commander, planned to reactivate a fourth squadron on the ship. Antiel felt he was at a crossroads between trying to move upwards and become a member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or return to a familiar role as commander of a new squadron. The pilot in him missed the regular missions and camaraderie with his peers. Antiel enjoyed being an Admiral and believed he had done well to lead the ''Warrior,'' but the attraction of a new squadron proved to be more compelling.

Plif met with Antiel to discuss the details of the new squadron. Antiel would have choice of name from the list of inactive Wing II squadrons (Psi, Rho, or Sigma at the time). He would also have some say in the squadron's objective and fighter complement. As Commodore, Antiel had learned the strengths and weaknesses of the ''Warrior'''s squadron assignments. Sin Squadron was useful for sending out ahead of the ''Warrior'' (or without it completely) for deep space missions. Theta Squadron's pacification objective meant its targets were largely terrestrial, and Kappa Squadron was typically busy on escort duty. This combination often left the ''Warrior'' exposed without a fighter defense.

With Plif's guidance, Antiel reforged Rho as a strike squadron of twelve TIE Interceptors with the mission to defend the ''Warrior'' from any and all threats, doing so without the safety net and resulting carelessness that shields can foment. While announcing the reactivated squadron, Plif commented, "It's a bold choice, one that will demand the sharpest skills and constant vigilance."

To christen the reopened squadron, Antiel designed a new squadron patch in the classic Imperial colors of black and gray. At its center is a TIE Intercetor ready to strike.

===Emperor's Hammer Command Staff===
In 28 ABY, inspired by his interest in history and its preservation, Hav applied to serve the Logistics Office. [[Rapier|Grand Admiral Rapier]] and the Logistics Officer, [[Mark Schueler|Fleet Admiral Mark Schueler]], accepted Hav's application and named him Command Attaché to the LO. The appointment rank for Command Attaché is Rear Admiral, but Hav was lucky to retain his recent Admiral promotion. In his duties, Hav shared time on the Warrior and Colossus

In his first year as CA:LO, Hav focused on the Encyclopaedia Imperia, specifically its title conventions and style. He rid the archive of broken and double redirects and started to address the long list of dead-end, orphaned, and wanted pages. During that first year, the LO's office moved from the Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer [[Sovereign|Sovereign]] to the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught ''[[Avenger]]'' before finally settling on the Colossus.

===TIE Helmet===

{| class="wikitable"
| [[File:HavAntielHelmet.png|300px]]
| '''Notched Cogs'''
As a child, Hav developed a keen interest in pilots' helmets. He was fascinated by the wild custom paintjobs on rebel helmets and the unique, almost undetectable touches on Imperial helmets. He memorized the designs of his favorite pilots and sketched ideas for his own helmet designs well into his adulthood.

When Hav earned his commission to full lieutenant in the TIE Corps, Princess Mair presented him with an ornate, metallic purple and gold custom TIE pilot helmet adorned with the the crest from his personal coat of arms. Breaking protocol, Hav refused the gift. He wished to avoid undue attention and hoped to hide his royal heritage as much as possible in the TIE Corps. Plus he had longed to design his own helmet, one that more closely resembled the TIE pilots' "buckets" he had seen up close on Corulag. Hav could't picture "Mauler" Mithel donning Mair's purple and gold monstrosity.

In designing his helmet, Hav borrowed elements from three pilots who flew with Lord Vader's Black Squadron at the Battle of Yavin: the eclipsed Imperial Cog from DS-61-4 ("Dark Curse"); the labeled brow from DS-61-3 ("Backstabber); and the black inlet cowl from DS-61-2 ("Mauler" Mithel). Hav added traditional "widow's tears" after his 10th confirmed kill in 23 ABY to mark his status as an ace pilot. Despite borrowing from those legendary pilots' designs, Hav aimed to make his helmet unique. He labeled the brow of his helmet "Antiel" in Aurabesh and included the eclipsed cog on both sides of the helmet. In 25 ABY, Antiel added the unique durasteel-colored outline stripes on the "mohawk" area of his helmet.

Over the years, Hav has made small changes to the helmet while keeping a uniform and familiar style. Since 28 ABY, the notched Imperial Cogs, widow's tears, and mohawk stripes have been a uniform durasteel gray. Although it is TIE Corps tradition to include the pilot's squadron patch on the cheek or chin of the helmet, Hav prefers to keep his helmet free from squadron markings. Hav notes that the great pilots in history used the same or similar designs while they flew for different squadrons and hopes to tie the helmet design to himself rather than a squadron.

Hav is finicky about his helmet's fit an finish, and he goes through multiple helmets per year. Although the Emperor's Hammer provides standard equipment to TIE Corps pilots, Hav personally pays for his helmets from his favorite supplier. Hav likes to collect other pilots' helmets, usually through helmet exchanges where Hav symbolically trades helmets with another pilot. His helmet collection, including battle-used and replica helmets, is rumored to number into the hundreds.

==Royal titles, styles, honors, and arms==

===Title and styles===
Hav's full title is ''His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun'', but he is familiarly known as Hav Antiel. Although his recorded name is simply "Hav," he uses his paternal grandfather's Corellian surname "Antiel" in service to the Emperor's Hammer. Hav's mother and older sister have used the geographical suffix "Sosuuna" in lieu of a surname in the past, but Hav has grown fond of "Antiel" and even has it painted on the brow of his TIE helmet.

Hav has continued to use Antiel as his surname beyond military purposes and is known as Hav Antiel in multiple contexts. Traditionally, male heirs of the reigning monarch receive a dukedom immediately prior to marriage, the most recent being his grandfather, King Van II, who received the dukedom of Sosuuna.

As of 28 ABY, Hav remains the only adult heir of Van II who has not received an formal honorific.

===Honors===
Upon his commission to the TIE Corps, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary. Commodore-in-Chief is a strictly ceremonial title that was created when Imperial control of Dosuun began in 5 ABY. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Seelona. Robus, who served as a cadet in the Imperial Navy prior to the Galactic Civil War, completed his attachment to the 533rd Imperial Reconnaissance Group and later took up a staff officer role with said unit until the fall of Emperor Palpatine.

Although the title is ceremonial, Hav continues to fulfill the duties of the office, including presiding over the annual fleet week festivities in Sosunna.

! Arms of His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun
|-
| '''Crest:''' Crests arms in the House of Sosuuna typically include multiple symbolic charges or beasts that represent the wearer's lineage or history, often depicted in brilliant gold. Hav eschewed tradition and requested a circle surrounded by eight trapezoids framing a view of Dosuun from space, framed in simple durasteel. The combination of the central circular frame and eight surrounding trapezoids resemble both the view from the cockpit of a TIE/ln starfighter and the resonator panels of a vintage Terrestrial brand quetarra.
|-
| '''Bed:''' According to tradition, the crest rests on a ribbed pillow. The purple hue signifies royalty while the ribbed texture represents a non-married male.
|-
| '''Ruffle:''' The plain, non-gilded ruffle represents Hav's pursuit of civic duty and the fact that he has not yet been granted a dukedom.
|-
|'''Current Location:''' The current location of Hav's arms is unknown but presumed to be safely stored in Meer Castle.

Hav Antiel is a former pilot and officer for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]]. As a flag officer, Antiel reached the rank of [[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Admiral]] serving as [[Commodore]] of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[Command Attache|Command Attaché]] to the [[Logistics Officer]]. As a pilot, Antiel reached the rank of [[General (TIE Corps)|General]] as Squadron Commander of [[Epsilon Squadron|Epsilon]], [[Sin Squadron|Sin]], and [[Rho Squadron|Rho]] squadrons.

Born into Dosuun's Royal House of Sosuuna, Hav chose a military career over politics, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform [[Daedalus|Daedalus]] in the [[Phare System]]. Antiel earned recognition for his single-player flying, engaging reports, and classic squadron patch graphics. After a six-year career in the TIE Corps, Antiel returned to Dosuun to lead the Royal Planetary Navy.

==Biography==

===Ancestry===
At the time of his birth, Hav was third in line of succession to his grandfather, King Van II, as King of Dosuun, but is currently sixth in line after his mother, Princess Mair, Dutchess of Sosuuna, his older sister Princess Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, and Morii's three children.

Hav's great-great-grandfather, Van I, was the first King of Dosuun, one of the first human inhabitants of the planet, and founder of the royal House of Sosuuna. Van I issued letters patent in 120 BBY declaring his heirs as members of the House of Sosuuna and bearers of its name. Hav's great-grandmother, Maur, the first queen regnant of Dosuun, oversaw the increased presence of the Republic on the planet. The policies Maur put in place allowed an easy transfer of executive power to the Empire during the reign of her son, Hav's grandfather, Van II. After taking the throne following Maur's death in 50 BBY, Van II has become Dosuun's longest-serving sovereign. Although Van II witnessed the rise and fall of the Empire, Dosuun has remained relatively unaffected by the turmoil and changing political climate of the galaxy during his reign.

Ancestors on Hav's father's side trace their lineage to Corellia. His paternal great-great-great-grandfather, Rebus Antiel, was a wealthy Corellian merchant who emigrated to Dosuun following the fall of the House of Solo. Hav's paternal great-grandfather, Ran Antiel, worked to increase then-Senator Palpatine's support among Wild Space sectors. During the Clone Wars, Ran supplied infrastructure support to the Grand Army of the Republic during the Outer Rim Campaign. During this time, the royal family was eager to prove their loyalty to the nascent Empire. Sovereign Queen Maur, Hav's maternal great-grandmother, granted Ran the dukedom of Seelona and, by extension, proximity to the royal family. The next thirty years would witness the Antiel family intertwine with the House of Sosuuna, and it was little surprise when King Van II announced Princess Mair's bethrothal to Robus of Seelona in 10 BBY.

===Early Life===
Hav was born on the royal yacht Aledama on the 7th month of 7 BBY as the second child of Mair and Robus of Seelona. He was christened with the royal name Hav on return to Meer Castle by his grandfather, Van II. His symbolic regents at the time of his birth were his paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, his sister Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, his paternal uncle Garm (a former Imperial pilot), Lady Lynadim (his maternal cousin), and Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond.

Like their royal precedessors, Hav's parents eschewed the Core World tradition of excessively-long royal names, settling on the monosyllabic "Hav" that would be their son's name both inside and outside of Meer Castle. Because he had not been granted a dukedom (a title traditionally bestowed shortly before male heirs are married), Hav retained the broad title Prince of Dosuun.

Hav's paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, wanted his grandchildren to have a broad range of experiences before settling into the relative monotony of royal life. Hav's Uncle Garm played an important role in this regard, encouraging Hav to study art, music, sport, and flying, frequently inviting young Hav to join him on his starship exploits. Hav frequently joined his parents on tours of the Core Worlds, and he eventually developed an interest in exploring Wild Space. As Hav approached adulthood, he found it difficult to choose between a future spent in space or on Dosuun.

===Education===
Hav received a private education from tutors at Meer Castle during his primary years. At age 13, Hav enrolled at Cruthers School, an independent boarding school founded by Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond. At Cruthers, Hav took up smashball and joined the school's strings ensemble. Hav studied literature, history, art, music, and engineering at high level, obtaining certifications in all except engineering. Admiral DeGrond took an interest in young Hav during his time at Cruthers, often granting Hav special privileges and at one point inviting the young prince aboard his Victory-class Star Destroyer Auspice.

Following his matriculation from Cruthers, Hav was torn between his interests in music and education and the desire stoked by Admiral DeGrond to serve in Dosuun's Planetary Navy. At 18, he was old enough to earn flight certification, but Hav's family pressured him to continue his education in the Core Worlds like his mother and grandfather. It was Hav's Uncle Garm who convinced the young prince to enroll at Dammon University on Corulag due to its proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division facility.

At Dammon University, Hav embarked on a degree course in music but later changed his main subject to history, going on to earn mastery certification with honors. While at the university, he represented Corulag in Quetarra Center's Quetarra-Thon, placing as second runner-up. It was during his time at Dammon that Hav began using the surname "Antiel" among his classmates. Proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division provided opportunities to witness experimental craft, which regularly flew over the university. This experience cemented Hav's desire to become a pilot, even as he was dedicating his time to his studies.

==Military Career==
After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space and subsequent kidnapping, Hav decided on a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus. While onboard the Daedalus, Hav completed practical training in the TIE/ln, TIE/sa, and TIE/IN and simulated training in the TIE/ad, TIE/D, and Alpha-class Xg-1 Assault Gunboat and Missile Boat. The young pilot developed an appreciation for the classic unshielded TIE craft that his uncle had piloted during the Galactic Civil War. He found that the simplicity of the earlier TIE Series models demanded creativity and ingenuity in battle, whereas later models (the TIE/D and Missile Boat in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

===Epsilon Squadron===
Upon earning his flight certification, Hav was assigned to Epsilon Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Hammer|Hammer]]. Under the command of [[Squadron Commander|CMDR]] [[Dunta Polo]] and [[Flight Leader|flight leader]] [[Jarion Renalds]], Hav began taking missions in a Missile Boat Mk.II designated Epsilon 3-2. Hav earned a promotion to full lieutenant in his first month of service by winning a contest to design the squadron patch for the newly reactivated Sin Squadron. Within a month, Hav had earned his first merit award, an Imperial Security Medal for completing 14 missions.

A voracious student, Hav took the opportunity to further his training and certifications through the [[Imperial Weapons And Tactics School|Imperial Weapons and Tactics School]], earning his first Iron Stars for leading Epsilon in number of missions and courses completed. He quickly earned the Commendation of Bravery for completing 30 missions, and he was soon challenging Hammer veterans at the top of the Kill Board.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Epsilon2-3overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel piloting TIE/ad Epsilon 2-3 in support of ISDII Hammer.]]</div>
After a promotion to lieutenant commander, Hav was assigned as the lead for Epsilon's third flight. To celebrate, Hav christened his Missile Boat the "Pink Bantha" after his former music group. However, the celebration would be short-lived: during an escort mission, Hav crashed into debris, damaging his ship and causing severe injuries to his upper body. The young pilot was rescued by a shuttle from Tweezers squadron. The injury grounded Hav for ten months and caused lingering trauma that left Hav less eager to take missions.

To make himself useful as he healed, Hav sought more leadership within the squadron, and Polo assigned Hav as the lead of Flight III. This temporary "downtime" eventually stretched out to nearly a year of desk duty for Antiel. As he healed up and earned clearance to resume flight activity, Antiel found that his nerves were keeping him from flying. Merely approaching his ship caused tremors in his hands, and he sought inventive reasons to explain his flight absences. Hav knew that his career was at a crossroads; he would either need to start flying or find another way to make himself useful to the Emperor's Hammer.

When Polo announced that he would be resigning from the lead of Epsilon after eight years in command, Antiel saw an answer. His application for command of Epsilon was met a reply from then Hammer Commodore [[Anahorn Dempsey]] noting that Antiel had been "a wee bit invisible" over the last year. Despite Dempsey's reservations, Antiel was selected to succeed Polo as Epsilon CMDR, and the newly-minted Commander rang in 25 ABY as Epsilon 1-1.

However, Antiel's tenure got off to a rocky start. His plan—focus on the desk duties and hold fast to regulation and decorum—quickly proved unpopular with both his pilots and the Commodore. Weekly squadron reports were met with complaints about formatting. At one point, the only pilot to participate in Antiel's intra-squadron competitions was the Dempsey, the Commodore. Antiel knew his best bet was to start flying again, but his old fears kept him from jumping back in the cockpit.

After less than two months in command, Antiel requested a transfer back to flight member status, thus resigning his commander rank commission. At the time, Antiel regarded the move as the low-water mark of his career but would later rate it as a career-making decision. Epsilon's new commander, [[Miles Prower|Lieutenant Commander Miles Prower]], was a former [[Wing Commander]] who had returned from the [[Reserves]] to helm Epsilon after Antiel's unexpected retirement. Curious about Antiel's change in form from his first years as an active flight member to a desk-bound commander, Prower reached out to Antiel, pushing him address the incident that caused him so much trepidation. Prower took time to get to know Antiel and even flew missions alongside the former commander to help him find his strengths again. The two developed an easy friendship that went beyond commander/flight member and would last as they both eventually rose to lead sister Star Destroyers for the TIE Corps.

With Prower's guidance, Antiel started to take on missions in the Missile Boat Mk.II christened "Pink Bantha III." After nearly a year of attempts, Antiel returned to the cockpit for his first active duty mission. A few months later, Antiel earned his first [[Bronze Star of the Empire]] for his flight activity and he began to make his way through the [[Fleet Commander's Honor Guard]] rankings. Halfway through 26 ABY, Antiel was stronger than ever, flying regular missions and challenging for the title of "Ace of the TIE Corps." Leaders within the TIE Corps were starting to take notice, and despite Antiel's insistence on staying a lowly Flight Member, it wouldn't be long before he was called to lead again.

===Sin Squadron===
At Lieutenant Colonel Prower's insistence, Antiel applied for command of Sin Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warrior. Sin held some significance for Antiel at that point; he had earned his promotion to full lieutenant by winning a contest to design Sin's new patch when the squadron was reactivated in 23 ABY. After three years aboard the Hammer, Antiel had some hesitation about his new ship. The Warrior had a reputation for skilled ace pilots who had little patience for inexperience. The Warrior and her pilots had won the annual [[Raise the Flag 2016|Raise the Flag]] wargame competition for the last three years, thereby earning honors as the Flagship of the TIE Corps.

When Antiel assumed command of Sin, the once-mighty squadron was in a state of disrepair. Under command of [[Plif|Colonel Plif]], Sin had challenged [[Theta]] for top squadron honors in its first two years of reactivation. But by the time Antiel inherited command, Sin was languishing in eighth place in activity, second only to Epsilon. In the words of previous commander [[Jarek La'an]], Sin was in "real danger of becoming unsustainable." It was clear that something needed to change. Antiel had been given a second chance with this command, and he knew the trajectory of his career was at stake.

<div style="float:left">[[File:Epsilon3-2overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel's most significant TC craft, the Missile Boat "Pink Bantha III"]]</div>
In his previous failed attempt at command, Antiel had focused on strict adherence to regulations and decorum. He largely kept to his office and relied on his flight leaders for communication with the pilots of Epsilon Squadron. As Sin Commander, however, Antiel make a conscious decision to humble himself to his pilots. He focused on flying missions and building relationships with his crew. He spent time meeting with pilots in the Warrior's cantina, regaling them with stories and listening to their ideas. He quickly identified a core group of pilots—AKA "Sinners"—whom he could trust and rely on.

Upon assuming command of Sin Squadron, Antiel found that a group of pilots had gone away without leave—earning pilot salaries and benefits without reporting for duty. Because of a culture of giving pilots the benefit of the doubt, previous commanders had largely looked the other way regarding AWOL pilots. However, Antiel believe that this culture was hindering the productivity of his pilots. Rather than protecting them, he found that this behavior made active pilots feel overlooked and underappreciated. For the duration of his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel regularly shipped pilots to the M/FRG [[Phoenix|Phoenix]] if they failed to meet monthly expectations.

Antiel determined that a "rebrand" would help Sin return to its former glory. In the first two months of his command, Antiel designed a new squadron patch with the colors of his alma mater, the maroon and gold of Cruthers. He charged his flight leaders with determining new flight nicknames and mottoes. Antiel christened Flight I "Hell’s Own" and chose the motto "We are as good as they say." Flight II leader [[Rando]] chose "Hell’s Wrath" and the motto "Reinforcements have arrived." [[Earnim Branet|Major Earnim Branet]] designated Flight III "Winged Hell" and coined the motto "Not even hell stops us."

During his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel began to feel comfortable in the cockpit again. He began taking regular missions and frequently challenged the Corps' top pilots on the Kill Board and began earning notice as a skilled, active pilot. He ended 25 ABY as the third-most active pilot behind stalwarts [[Pete Mitchell|Vice Admiral Pete Mitchell]] and General Anahorn Dempsey and entered 26 ABY as one of the most active pilots of the TIE Corps. He developed strong relationships not only with his pilots, but also with the Warrior's Commodores: first Mitchell and then Plif.

Under Antiel's commander, Sin began the steady return to legitimacy. In the next two Raise the Flag competitions, Sin improved to fifth and third place among TIE Corps squadrons, respectively. When SOO Mitchell was named as the next [[TIE Corps Commander]] and Warrior Commodore Admiral Plif was selected as the next [[Strategic Operations Officer]], Antiel felt friendly pressure to apply for the open position of Warrior Commodore.

===Warrior Commodore===
After a year in command of Sin Squadron, Antiel's star was rising. Plif's appointment to SOO left the Warrior without a Commodore, and Antiel felt confident that he was the right officer for the position. In 26 ABY, then [[Lieutenant Colonel (TIE Corps)|Lieutenant Colonel]] Antiel was placed in command of the Warrior and promoted to [[Rear Admiral (TIE Corps)|Rear Admiral]].

RA Antiel's first priority was to find new CMDRs for Sin and [[Theta Squadron|Theta]] Squadrons. Antiel named his top Flight Leader, [[Earnim Branet|Colonel Earnim Branet]] to lead Sin Squadron. [[Jarek La'an|General Jarek La'an]] volunteered for another tour of duty as Theta CMDR, having previously served in the role from 22-23 ABY. Antiel noted that he felt pressure to maintain the high performance of his predecessors. Former WarCOMs Pete Mitchell went on to become the next TCCOMs, and the Warrior had won every [[Raise the Flag]] since the ship was activated in 22 ABY.

<blockquote>''The ''Warrior'' belongs to her pilots. It's your ship, after all. We have a strong culture aboard the ''Warrior'', and I'm pleased with our trajectory. With that being said, there's always room for growth, and I want your voices to guide our next steps. My door is always open, and I hope you will reach out to me whenever you have ideas or concerns.''</blockquote>
<blockquote>—RA Hav Antiel's first ''Warrior'' report, 26 ABY</blockquote>

The Warrior continued to operate as the TIE Corps Flagship during Antiel's first year as Commodore. Antiel took a conservative approach, maintaining the ship-wide competitions and practices of his immediate predecessor, Plif. However, Antiel felt increasingly isolated in the position. As a squadron commander, Antiel interacted with his pilots daily and took missions on a regular basis. As an admiral, Antiel missed those direct connections. He also itched to fly missions. It wasn't strictly forbidden for Commodores to fly fighters, but Antiel missed the briefings, the scheduled flights, and the ready-room atmosphere of squadron life. He didn't feel the same thrill booking a flight crew for his TIE Advanced x1, Pink Bantha IV, and his flight activity dropped to 25% of his previous levels.

As the next [[Raise the Flag 2019|Raise the Flag]] competition approached, Antiel leaned on the Warrior's traditional approach, confident that the ship would retain its undefeated streak. In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|previous year's competition]], the Warrior had more than doubled the score of the Hammer. However, Antiel and the pilots of the Warrior were in for a rude awakening. The Hammer, led by veterans from Epsilon Squadron, formed a plan to take the lead early. They stormed the scoreboard with their combined efforts and demoralized the Warrior and her Commodore.

When the contest was over, the Hammer was the new TIE Corps Flagship. Antiel had become the first ''Warrior'' Commodore to lose Raise the Flag.

Defeat in RtF coupled with Antiel's lingering feelings of isolation. He dreamt of returning to Sin Squadron as its Commander and earning promotion to General. He longed for regular missions and briefings in the ready room. His career trajectory was pointed at the [[TIE Corps Command Staff]], and a logical next step would be to apply for [[Combat Operations Officer]] or [[Strategic Operations Officer]]. Antiel knew those positions meant more logistics and desk responsibilities and less time to connect with pilots and fly his personal fighter. Sinking into a professional slump, Antiel started to slack on his duties, failing to issue reports and falling behind on his duties for the first time in his career.

===Rho Squadron===
After nearly two years in command of the ''Warrior,'' Antiel learned that FA Plif, now the TIE Corps Commander, planned to reactivate a fourth squadron on the ship. Antiel felt he was at a crossroads between trying to move upwards and become a member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or return to a familiar role as commander of a new squadron. The pilot in him missed the regular missions and camaraderie with his peers. Antiel enjoyed being an Admiral and believed he had done well to lead the ''Warrior,'' but the attraction of a new squadron proved to be more compelling.

Plif met with Antiel to discuss the details of the new squadron. Antiel would have choice of name from the list of inactive Wing II squadrons (Psi, Rho, or Sigma at the time). He would also have some say in the squadron's objective and fighter complement. As Commodore, Antiel had learned the strengths and weaknesses of the ''Warrior'''s squadron assignments. Sin Squadron was useful for sending out ahead of the ''Warrior'' (or without it completely) for deep space missions. Theta Squadron's pacification objective meant its targets were largely terrestrial, and Kappa Squadron was typically busy on escort duty. This combination often left the ''Warrior'' exposed without a fighter defense.

With Plif's guidance, Antiel reforged Rho as a strike squadron of twelve TIE Interceptors with the mission to defend the ''Warrior'' from any and all threats, doing so without the safety net and resulting carelessness that shields can foment. While announcing the reactivated squadron, Plif commented, "It's a bold choice, one that will demand the sharpest skills and constant vigilance."

To christen the reopened squadron, Antiel designed a new squadron patch in the classic Imperial colors of black and gray. At its center is a TIE Intercetor ready to strike.

===Emperor's Hammer Command Staff===
In 28 ABY, inspired by his interest in history and its preservation, Hav applied to serve the Logistics Office. [[Rapier|Grand Admiral Rapier]] and the Logistics Officer, [[Mark Schueler|Fleet Admiral Mark Schueler]], accepted Hav's application and named him Command Attaché to the LO. The appointment rank for Command Attaché is Rear Admiral, but Hav was lucky to retain his recent Admiral promotion. In his duties, Hav shared time on the Warrior and Colossus

In his first year as CA:LO, Hav focused on the Encyclopaedia Imperia, specifically its title conventions and style. He rid the archive of broken and double redirects and started to address the long list of dead-end, orphaned, and wanted pages. During that first year, the LO's office moved from the Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer [[Sovereign|Sovereign]] to the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught ''[[Avenger]]'' before finally settling on the Colossus.

===TIE Helmet===

{| class="wikitable"
| [[File:HavAntielHelmet.png|300px]]
| '''Notched Cogs'''
As a child, Hav developed a keen interest in pilots' helmets. He was fascinated by the wild custom paintjobs on rebel helmets and the unique, almost undetectable touches on Imperial helmets. He memorized the designs of his favorite pilots and sketched ideas for his own helmet designs well into his adulthood.

When Hav earned his commission to full lieutenant in the TIE Corps, Princess Mair presented him with an ornate, metallic purple and gold custom TIE pilot helmet adorned with the the crest from his personal coat of arms. Breaking protocol, Hav refused the gift. He wished to avoid undue attention and hoped to hide his royal heritage as much as possible in the TIE Corps. Plus he had longed to design his own helmet, one that more closely resembled the TIE pilots' "buckets" he had seen up close on Corulag. Hav could't picture "Mauler" Mithel donning Mair's purple and gold monstrosity.

In designing his helmet, Hav borrowed elements from three pilots who flew with Lord Vader's Black Squadron at the Battle of Yavin: the eclipsed Imperial Cog from DS-61-4 ("Dark Curse"); the labeled brow from DS-61-3 ("Backstabber); and the black inlet cowl from DS-61-2 ("Mauler" Mithel). Hav added traditional "widow's tears" after his 10th confirmed kill in 23 ABY to mark his status as an ace pilot. Despite borrowing from those legendary pilots' designs, Hav aimed to make his helmet unique. He labeled the brow of his helmet "Antiel" in Aurabesh and included the eclipsed cog on both sides of the helmet. In 25 ABY, Antiel added the unique durasteel-colored outline stripes on the "mohawk" area of his helmet.

Over the years, Hav has made small changes to the helmet while keeping a uniform and familiar style. Since 28 ABY, the notched Imperial Cogs, widow's tears, and mohawk stripes have been a uniform durasteel gray. Although it is TIE Corps tradition to include the pilot's squadron patch on the cheek or chin of the helmet, Hav prefers to keep his helmet free from squadron markings. Hav notes that the great pilots in history used the same or similar designs while they flew for different squadrons and hopes to tie the helmet design to himself rather than a squadron.

Hav is finicky about his helmet's fit an finish, and he goes through multiple helmets per year. Although the Emperor's Hammer provides standard equipment to TIE Corps pilots, Hav personally pays for his helmets from his favorite supplier. Hav likes to collect other pilots' helmets, usually through helmet exchanges where Hav symbolically trades helmets with another pilot. His helmet collection, including battle-used and replica helmets, is rumored to number into the hundreds.

==Royal titles, styles, honors, and arms==

===Title and styles===
Hav's full title is ''His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun'', but he is familiarly known as Hav Antiel. Although his recorded name is simply "Hav," he uses his paternal grandfather's Corellian surname "Antiel" in service to the Emperor's Hammer. Hav's mother and older sister have used the geographical suffix "Sosuuna" in lieu of a surname in the past, but Hav has grown fond of "Antiel" and even has it painted on the brow of his TIE helmet.

Hav has continued to use Antiel as his surname beyond military purposes and is known as Hav Antiel in multiple contexts. Traditionally, male heirs of the reigning monarch receive a dukedom immediately prior to marriage, the most recent being his grandfather, King Van II, who received the dukedom of Sosuuna.

As of 28 ABY, Hav remains the only adult heir of Van II who has not received an formal honorific.

===Honors===
Upon his commission to the TIE Corps, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary. Commodore-in-Chief is a strictly ceremonial title that was created when Imperial control of Dosuun began in 5 ABY. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Seelona. Robus, who served as a cadet in the Imperial Navy prior to the Galactic Civil War, completed his attachment to the 533rd Imperial Reconnaissance Group and later took up a staff officer role with said unit until the fall of Emperor Palpatine.

Although the title is ceremonial, Hav continues to fulfill the duties of the office, including presiding over the annual fleet week festivities in Sosunna.

===Arms===

! Arms of His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun
|-
| '''Crest:''' Crests arms in the House of Sosuuna typically include multiple symbolic charges or beasts that represent the wearer's lineage or history, often depicted in brilliant gold. Hav eschewed tradition and requested a circle surrounded by eight trapezoids framing a view of Dosuun from space, framed in simple durasteel. The combination of the central circular frame and eight surrounding trapezoids resemble both the view from the cockpit of a TIE/ln starfighter and the resonator panels of a vintage Terrestrial brand quetarra.
|-
| '''Bed:''' According to tradition, the crest rests on a ribbed pillow. The purple hue signifies royalty while the ribbed texture represents a non-married male.
|-
| '''Ruffle:''' The plain, non-gilded ruffle represents Hav's pursuit of civic duty and the fact that he has not yet been granted a dukedom.
|-
|'''Current Location:''' The current location of Hav's arms is unknown but presumed to be safely stored in Meer Castle.

Hav Antiel is a former pilot and officer for the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[TIE Corps]]. As a flag officer, Antiel reached the rank of [[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Admiral]] serving as [[Commodore]] of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|''Warrior'']] and [[Command Attache|Command Attaché]] to the [[Logistics Officer]]. As a pilot, Antiel reached the rank of [[General (TIE Corps)|General]] as Squadron Commander of [[Epsilon Squadron|Epsilon]], [[Sin Squadron|Sin]], and [[Rho Squadron|Rho]] squadrons.

Born into Dosuun's Royal House of Sosuuna, Hav chose a military career over politics, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform [[Daedalus|Daedalus]] in the [[Phare System]]. Antiel earned recognition for his single-player flying, engaging reports, and classic squadron patch graphics. After a six-year career in the TIE Corps, Antiel returned to Dosuun to lead the Royal Planetary Navy.

==Biography==

===Ancestry===
At the time of his birth, Hav was third in line of succession to his grandfather, King Van II, as King of Dosuun, but is currently sixth in line after his mother, Princess Mair, Dutchess of Sosuuna, his older sister Princess Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, and Morii's three children.

Hav's great-great-grandfather, Van I, was the first King of Dosuun, one of the first human inhabitants of the planet, and founder of the royal House of Sosuuna. Van I issued letters patent in 120 BBY declaring his heirs as members of the House of Sosuuna and bearers of its name. Hav's great-grandmother, Maur, the first queen regnant of Dosuun, oversaw the increased presence of the Republic on the planet. The policies Maur put in place allowed an easy transfer of executive power to the Empire during the reign of her son, Hav's grandfather, Van II. After taking the throne following Maur's death in 50 BBY, Van II has become Dosuun's longest-serving sovereign. Although Van II witnessed the rise and fall of the Empire, Dosuun has remained relatively unaffected by the turmoil and changing political climate of the galaxy during his reign.

Ancestors on Hav's father's side trace their lineage to Corellia. His paternal great-great-great-grandfather, Rebus Antiel, was a wealthy Corellian merchant who emigrated to Dosuun following the fall of the House of Solo. Hav's paternal great-grandfather, Ran Antiel, worked to increase then-Senator Palpatine's support among Wild Space sectors. During the Clone Wars, Ran supplied infrastructure support to the Grand Army of the Republic during the Outer Rim Campaign. During this time, the royal family was eager to prove their loyalty to the nascent Empire. Sovereign Queen Maur, Hav's maternal great-grandmother, granted Ran the dukedom of Seelona and, by extension, proximity to the royal family. The next thirty years would witness the Antiel family intertwine with the House of Sosuuna, and it was little surprise when King Van II announced Princess Mair's bethrothal to Robus of Seelona in 10 BBY.

===Early Life===
Hav was born on the royal yacht Aledama on the 7th month of 7 BBY as the second child of Mair and Robus of Seelona. He was christened with the royal name Hav on return to Meer Castle by his grandfather, Van II. His symbolic regents at the time of his birth were his paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, his sister Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, his paternal uncle Garm (a former Imperial pilot), Lady Lynadim (his maternal cousin), and Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond.

Like their royal precedessors, Hav's parents eschewed the Core World tradition of excessively-long royal names, settling on the monosyllabic "Hav" that would be their son's name both inside and outside of Meer Castle. Because he had not been granted a dukedom (a title traditionally bestowed shortly before male heirs are married), Hav retained the broad title Prince of Dosuun.

Hav's paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, wanted his grandchildren to have a broad range of experiences before settling into the relative monotony of royal life. Hav's Uncle Garm played an important role in this regard, encouraging Hav to study art, music, sport, and flying, frequently inviting young Hav to join him on his starship exploits. Hav frequently joined his parents on tours of the Core Worlds, and he eventually developed an interest in exploring Wild Space. As Hav approached adulthood, he found it difficult to choose between a future spent in space or on Dosuun.

===Education===
Hav received a private education from tutors at Meer Castle during his primary years. At age 13, Hav enrolled at Cruthers School, an independent boarding school founded by Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond. At Cruthers, Hav took up smashball and joined the school's strings ensemble. Hav studied literature, history, art, music, and engineering at high level, obtaining certifications in all except engineering. Admiral DeGrond took an interest in young Hav during his time at Cruthers, often granting Hav special privileges and at one point inviting the young prince aboard his Victory-class Star Destroyer Auspice.

Following his matriculation from Cruthers, Hav was torn between his interests in music and education and the desire stoked by Admiral DeGrond to serve in Dosuun's Planetary Navy. At 18, he was old enough to earn flight certification, but Hav's family pressured him to continue his education in the Core Worlds like his mother and grandfather. It was Hav's Uncle Garm who convinced the young prince to enroll at Dammon University on Corulag due to its proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division facility.

At Dammon University, Hav embarked on a degree course in music but later changed his main subject to history, going on to earn mastery certification with honors. While at the university, he represented Corulag in Quetarra Center's Quetarra-Thon, placing as second runner-up. It was during his time at Dammon that Hav began using the surname "Antiel" among his classmates. Proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division provided opportunities to witness experimental craft, which regularly flew over the university. This experience cemented Hav's desire to become a pilot, even as he was dedicating his time to his studies.

===Gap Year and Kidnapping===
After his first year at Dammon University, Hav took a sabbatical to tour Wild Space playing quetarra, quintolium, and hallikset in the b'ssa nuuvu band The Pink Banthas (a name that Hav later used for his personal ships in the TIE Corps). Traveling with a diverse group of musicians gave the young prince perspective on both the freedoms and restrictions of the wider parts of the galaxy.

In 11 ABY, the Pink Banthas were playing a set on Toth at a bar called Thank the Maker it's Taungsday when the group's drummer confronted the bar's owner, a Hutt-connected Klatooinian named Kithastas, after fearing the band wouldn't be paid, leading to a standoff with the Klatooinian. The group's singer revealed Hav's royal connections in a failed bid to diffuse the situation, spurring Kithastas to kidnap the band.

Despite Hav's pleas, Kithastas forced the price to create a ransom holovid. Hav was unsurprised when the royal family failed to respond; the king, having been less than pleased with his grandson's decision to leave school and tour Wild Space with a b'ssa nuuvu band, noted that the kidnapping was the young prince's fate. After several months of unsuccessful attempts to extract a ransom, Kithastas decided to cut his losses, but not without one final punishment for the musicians. Knowing that Hav made a living with his skilled hands, Kithastas ruthlessly amputating Hav's hands with his vibroblade and dumped him into the wilderness of Toth.

Hav and his battered bandmates escaped Teth aided by B'omarr monks. At Meer Castle, royal surgeons stabilized Hav and installed a matched set of ornate bronze Mikar Mechno-Arms that had once belonged to Hav's great-great-Aunt Buula. The cybernetic hands allowed Hav a greater degree of fine motor control than he had prior to losing his hands, and he was able to play the quetarra even better than before, but the Musicians Guild forbade entry to musicians with cybernetic assists, effectively ending Hav's musical ambitions.

With his music career over, Hav returned to Dammon University while he pondered his path. He changed his main subject from music to history and graduated with honors.

==Military Career==
After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space and subsequent kidnapping, Hav decided on a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus. While onboard the Daedalus, Hav completed practical training in the TIE/ln, TIE/sa, and TIE/IN and simulated training in the TIE/ad, TIE/D, and Alpha-class Xg-1 Assault Gunboat and Missile Boat. The young pilot developed an appreciation for the classic unshielded TIE craft that his uncle had piloted during the Galactic Civil War. He found that the simplicity of the earlier TIE Series models demanded creativity and ingenuity in battle, whereas later models (the TIE/D and Missile Boat in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

===Epsilon Squadron===
Upon earning his flight certification, Hav was assigned to Epsilon Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Hammer|Hammer]]. Under the command of [[Squadron Commander|CMDR]] [[Dunta Polo]] and [[Flight Leader|flight leader]] [[Jarion Renalds]], Hav began taking missions in a Missile Boat Mk.II designated Epsilon 3-2. Hav earned a promotion to full lieutenant in his first month of service by winning a contest to design the squadron patch for the newly reactivated Sin Squadron. Within a month, Hav had earned his first merit award, an Imperial Security Medal for completing 14 missions.

A voracious student, Hav took the opportunity to further his training and certifications through the [[Imperial Weapons And Tactics School|Imperial Weapons and Tactics School]], earning his first Iron Stars for leading Epsilon in number of missions and courses completed. He quickly earned the Commendation of Bravery for completing 30 missions, and he was soon challenging Hammer veterans at the top of the Kill Board.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Epsilon2-3overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel piloting TIE/ad Epsilon 2-3 in support of ISDII Hammer.]]</div>
After a promotion to lieutenant commander, Hav was assigned as the lead for Epsilon's third flight. To celebrate, Hav christened his Missile Boat the "Pink Bantha" after his former music group. However, the celebration would be short-lived: during an escort mission, Hav crashed into debris, damaging his ship and causing severe injuries to his upper body. The young pilot was rescued by a shuttle from Tweezers squadron. The injury grounded Hav for ten months and caused lingering trauma that left Hav less eager to take missions.

To make himself useful as he healed, Hav sought more leadership within the squadron, and Polo assigned Hav as the lead of Flight III. This temporary "downtime" eventually stretched out to nearly a year of desk duty for Antiel. As he healed up and earned clearance to resume flight activity, Antiel found that his nerves were keeping him from flying. Merely approaching his ship caused tremors in his hands, and he sought inventive reasons to explain his flight absences. Hav knew that his career was at a crossroads; he would either need to start flying or find another way to make himself useful to the Emperor's Hammer.

When Polo announced that he would be resigning from the lead of Epsilon after eight years in command, Antiel saw an answer. His application for command of Epsilon was met a reply from then Hammer Commodore [[Anahorn Dempsey]] noting that Antiel had been "a wee bit invisible" over the last year. Despite Dempsey's reservations, Antiel was selected to succeed Polo as Epsilon CMDR, and the newly-minted Commander rang in 25 ABY as Epsilon 1-1.

However, Antiel's tenure got off to a rocky start. His plan—focus on the desk duties and hold fast to regulation and decorum—quickly proved unpopular with both his pilots and the Commodore. Weekly squadron reports were met with complaints about formatting. At one point, the only pilot to participate in Antiel's intra-squadron competitions was the Dempsey, the Commodore. Antiel knew his best bet was to start flying again, but his old fears kept him from jumping back in the cockpit.

After less than two months in command, Antiel requested a transfer back to flight member status, thus resigning his commander rank commission. At the time, Antiel regarded the move as the low-water mark of his career but would later rate it as a career-making decision. Epsilon's new commander, [[Miles Prower|Lieutenant Commander Miles Prower]], was a former [[Wing Commander]] who had returned from the [[Reserves]] to helm Epsilon after Antiel's unexpected retirement. Curious about Antiel's change in form from his first years as an active flight member to a desk-bound commander, Prower reached out to Antiel, pushing him address the incident that caused him so much trepidation. Prower took time to get to know Antiel and even flew missions alongside the former commander to help him find his strengths again. The two developed an easy friendship that went beyond commander/flight member and would last as they both eventually rose to lead sister Star Destroyers for the TIE Corps.

With Prower's guidance, Antiel started to take on missions in the Missile Boat Mk.II christened "Pink Bantha III." After nearly a year of attempts, Antiel returned to the cockpit for his first active duty mission. A few months later, Antiel earned his first [[Bronze Star of the Empire]] for his flight activity and he began to make his way through the [[Fleet Commander's Honor Guard]] rankings. Halfway through 26 ABY, Antiel was stronger than ever, flying regular missions and challenging for the title of "Ace of the TIE Corps." Leaders within the TIE Corps were starting to take notice, and despite Antiel's insistence on staying a lowly Flight Member, it wouldn't be long before he was called to lead again.

===Sin Squadron===
At Lieutenant Colonel Prower's insistence, Antiel applied for command of Sin Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warrior. Sin held some significance for Antiel at that point; he had earned his promotion to full lieutenant by winning a contest to design Sin's new patch when the squadron was reactivated in 23 ABY. After three years aboard the Hammer, Antiel had some hesitation about his new ship. The Warrior had a reputation for skilled ace pilots who had little patience for inexperience. The Warrior and her pilots had won the annual [[Raise the Flag 2016|Raise the Flag]] wargame competition for the last three years, thereby earning honors as the Flagship of the TIE Corps.

When Antiel assumed command of Sin, the once-mighty squadron was in a state of disrepair. Under command of [[Plif|Colonel Plif]], Sin had challenged [[Theta]] for top squadron honors in its first two years of reactivation. But by the time Antiel inherited command, Sin was languishing in eighth place in activity, second only to Epsilon. In the words of previous commander [[Jarek La'an]], Sin was in "real danger of becoming unsustainable." It was clear that something needed to change. Antiel had been given a second chance with this command, and he knew the trajectory of his career was at stake.

<div style="float:left">[[File:Epsilon3-2overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel's most significant TC craft, the Missile Boat "Pink Bantha III"]]</div>
In his previous failed attempt at command, Antiel had focused on strict adherence to regulations and decorum. He largely kept to his office and relied on his flight leaders for communication with the pilots of Epsilon Squadron. As Sin Commander, however, Antiel make a conscious decision to humble himself to his pilots. He focused on flying missions and building relationships with his crew. He spent time meeting with pilots in the Warrior's cantina, regaling them with stories and listening to their ideas. He quickly identified a core group of pilots—AKA "Sinners"—whom he could trust and rely on.

Upon assuming command of Sin Squadron, Antiel found that a group of pilots had gone away without leave—earning pilot salaries and benefits without reporting for duty. Because of a culture of giving pilots the benefit of the doubt, previous commanders had largely looked the other way regarding AWOL pilots. However, Antiel believe that this culture was hindering the productivity of his pilots. Rather than protecting them, he found that this behavior made active pilots feel overlooked and underappreciated. For the duration of his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel regularly shipped pilots to the M/FRG [[Phoenix|Phoenix]] if they failed to meet monthly expectations.

Antiel determined that a "rebrand" would help Sin return to its former glory. In the first two months of his command, Antiel designed a new squadron patch with the colors of his alma mater, the maroon and gold of Cruthers. He charged his flight leaders with determining new flight nicknames and mottoes. Antiel christened Flight I "Hell’s Own" and chose the motto "We are as good as they say." Flight II leader [[Rando]] chose "Hell’s Wrath" and the motto "Reinforcements have arrived." [[Earnim Branet|Major Earnim Branet]] designated Flight III "Winged Hell" and coined the motto "Not even hell stops us."

During his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel began to feel comfortable in the cockpit again. He began taking regular missions and frequently challenged the Corps' top pilots on the Kill Board and began earning notice as a skilled, active pilot. He ended 25 ABY as the third-most active pilot behind stalwarts [[Pete Mitchell|Vice Admiral Pete Mitchell]] and General Anahorn Dempsey and entered 26 ABY as one of the most active pilots of the TIE Corps. He developed strong relationships not only with his pilots, but also with the Warrior's Commodores: first Mitchell and then Plif.

Under Antiel's commander, Sin began the steady return to legitimacy. In the next two Raise the Flag competitions, Sin improved to fifth and third place among TIE Corps squadrons, respectively. When SOO Mitchell was named as the next [[TIE Corps Commander]] and Warrior Commodore Admiral Plif was selected as the next [[Strategic Operations Officer]], Antiel felt friendly pressure to apply for the open position of Warrior Commodore.

===Warrior Commodore===
After a year in command of Sin Squadron, Antiel's star was rising. Plif's appointment to SOO left the Warrior without a Commodore, and Antiel felt confident that he was the right officer for the position. In 26 ABY, then [[Lieutenant Colonel (TIE Corps)|Lieutenant Colonel]] Antiel was placed in command of the Warrior and promoted to [[Rear Admiral (TIE Corps)|Rear Admiral]].

RA Antiel's first priority was to find new CMDRs for Sin and [[Theta Squadron|Theta]] Squadrons. Antiel named his top Flight Leader, [[Earnim Branet|Colonel Earnim Branet]] to lead Sin Squadron. [[Jarek La'an|General Jarek La'an]] volunteered for another tour of duty as Theta CMDR, having previously served in the role from 22-23 ABY. Antiel noted that he felt pressure to maintain the high performance of his predecessors. Former WarCOMs Pete Mitchell went on to become the next TCCOMs, and the Warrior had won every [[Raise the Flag]] since the ship was activated in 22 ABY.

<blockquote>''The ''Warrior'' belongs to her pilots. It's your ship, after all. We have a strong culture aboard the ''Warrior'', and I'm pleased with our trajectory. With that being said, there's always room for growth, and I want your voices to guide our next steps. My door is always open, and I hope you will reach out to me whenever you have ideas or concerns.''</blockquote>
<blockquote>—RA Hav Antiel's first ''Warrior'' report, 26 ABY</blockquote>

The Warrior continued to operate as the TIE Corps Flagship during Antiel's first year as Commodore. Antiel took a conservative approach, maintaining the ship-wide competitions and practices of his immediate predecessor, Plif. However, Antiel felt increasingly isolated in the position. As a squadron commander, Antiel interacted with his pilots daily and took missions on a regular basis. As an admiral, Antiel missed those direct connections. He also itched to fly missions. It wasn't strictly forbidden for Commodores to fly fighters, but Antiel missed the briefings, the scheduled flights, and the ready-room atmosphere of squadron life. He didn't feel the same thrill booking a flight crew for his TIE Advanced x1, Pink Bantha IV, and his flight activity dropped to 25% of his previous levels.

As the next [[Raise the Flag 2019|Raise the Flag]] competition approached, Antiel leaned on the Warrior's traditional approach, confident that the ship would retain its undefeated streak. In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|previous year's competition]], the Warrior had more than doubled the score of the Hammer. However, Antiel and the pilots of the Warrior were in for a rude awakening. The Hammer, led by veterans from Epsilon Squadron, formed a plan to take the lead early. They stormed the scoreboard with their combined efforts and demoralized the Warrior and her Commodore.

When the contest was over, the Hammer was the new TIE Corps Flagship. Antiel had become the first ''Warrior'' Commodore to lose Raise the Flag.

Defeat in RtF coupled with Antiel's lingering feelings of isolation. He dreamt of returning to Sin Squadron as its Commander and earning promotion to General. He longed for regular missions and briefings in the ready room. His career trajectory was pointed at the [[TIE Corps Command Staff]], and a logical next step would be to apply for [[Combat Operations Officer]] or [[Strategic Operations Officer]]. Antiel knew those positions meant more logistics and desk responsibilities and less time to connect with pilots and fly his personal fighter. Sinking into a professional slump, Antiel started to slack on his duties, failing to issue reports and falling behind on his duties for the first time in his career.

===Rho Squadron===
After nearly two years in command of the ''Warrior,'' Antiel learned that FA Plif, now the TIE Corps Commander, planned to reactivate a fourth squadron on the ship. Antiel felt he was at a crossroads between trying to move upwards and become a member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or return to a familiar role as commander of a new squadron. The pilot in him missed the regular missions and camaraderie with his peers. Antiel enjoyed being an Admiral and believed he had done well to lead the ''Warrior,'' but the attraction of a new squadron proved to be more compelling.

Plif met with Antiel to discuss the details of the new squadron. Antiel would have choice of name from the list of inactive Wing II squadrons (Psi, Rho, or Sigma at the time). He would also have some say in the squadron's objective and fighter complement. As Commodore, Antiel had learned the strengths and weaknesses of the ''Warrior'''s squadron assignments. Sin Squadron was useful for sending out ahead of the ''Warrior'' (or without it completely) for deep space missions. Theta Squadron's pacification objective meant its targets were largely terrestrial, and Kappa Squadron was typically busy on escort duty. This combination often left the ''Warrior'' exposed without a fighter defense.

With Plif's guidance, Antiel reforged Rho as a strike squadron of twelve TIE Interceptors with the mission to defend the ''Warrior'' from any and all threats, doing so without the safety net and resulting carelessness that shields can foment. While announcing the reactivated squadron, Plif commented, "It's a bold choice, one that will demand the sharpest skills and constant vigilance."

To christen the reopened squadron, Antiel designed a new squadron patch in the classic Imperial colors of black and gray. At its center is a TIE Intercetor ready to strike.

===Emperor's Hammer Command Staff===
In 28 ABY, inspired by his interest in history and its preservation, Hav applied to serve the Logistics Office. [[Rapier|Grand Admiral Rapier]] and the Logistics Officer, [[Mark Schueler|Fleet Admiral Mark Schueler]], accepted Hav's application and named him Command Attaché to the LO. The appointment rank for Command Attaché is Rear Admiral, but Hav was lucky to retain his recent Admiral promotion. In his duties, Hav shared time on the Warrior and Colossus

In his first year as CA:LO, Hav focused on the Encyclopaedia Imperia, specifically its title conventions and style. He rid the archive of broken and double redirects and started to address the long list of dead-end, orphaned, and wanted pages. During that first year, the LO's office moved from the Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer [[Sovereign|Sovereign]] to the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught ''[[Avenger]]'' before finally settling on the Colossus.

===TIE Helmet===

{| class="wikitable"
| [[File:HavAntielHelmet.png|300px]]
| '''Notched Cogs'''
As a child, Hav developed a keen interest in pilots' helmets. He was fascinated by the wild custom paintjobs on rebel helmets and the unique, almost undetectable touches on Imperial helmets. He memorized the designs of his favorite pilots and sketched ideas for his own helmet designs well into his adulthood.

When Hav earned his commission to full lieutenant in the TIE Corps, Princess Mair presented him with an ornate, metallic purple and gold custom TIE pilot helmet adorned with the the crest from his personal coat of arms. Breaking protocol, Hav refused the gift. He wished to avoid undue attention and hoped to hide his royal heritage as much as possible in the TIE Corps. Plus he had longed to design his own helmet, one that more closely resembled the TIE pilots' "buckets" he had seen up close on Corulag. Hav could't picture "Mauler" Mithel donning Mair's purple and gold monstrosity.

In designing his helmet, Hav borrowed elements from three pilots who flew with Lord Vader's Black Squadron at the Battle of Yavin: the eclipsed Imperial Cog from DS-61-4 ("Dark Curse"); the labeled brow from DS-61-3 ("Backstabber); and the black inlet cowl from DS-61-2 ("Mauler" Mithel). Hav added traditional "widow's tears" after his 10th confirmed kill in 23 ABY to mark his status as an ace pilot. Despite borrowing from those legendary pilots' designs, Hav aimed to make his helmet unique. He labeled the brow of his helmet "Antiel" in Aurabesh and included the eclipsed cog on both sides of the helmet. In 25 ABY, Antiel added the unique durasteel-colored outline stripes on the "mohawk" area of his helmet.

Over the years, Hav has made small changes to the helmet while keeping a uniform and familiar style. Since 28 ABY, the notched Imperial Cogs, widow's tears, and mohawk stripes have been a uniform durasteel gray. Although it is TIE Corps tradition to include the pilot's squadron patch on the cheek or chin of the helmet, Hav prefers to keep his helmet free from squadron markings. Hav notes that the great pilots in history used the same or similar designs while they flew for different squadrons and hopes to tie the helmet design to himself rather than a squadron.

Hav is finicky about his helmet's fit an finish, and he goes through multiple helmets per year. Although the Emperor's Hammer provides standard equipment to TIE Corps pilots, Hav personally pays for his helmets from his favorite supplier. Hav likes to collect other pilots' helmets, usually through helmet exchanges where Hav symbolically trades helmets with another pilot. His helmet collection, including battle-used and replica helmets, is rumored to number into the hundreds.

==Royal titles, styles, honors, and arms==

===Title and styles===
Hav's full title is ''His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun'', but he is familiarly known as Hav Antiel. Although his recorded name is simply "Hav," he uses his paternal grandfather's Corellian surname "Antiel" in service to the Emperor's Hammer. Hav's mother and older sister have used the geographical suffix "Sosuuna" in lieu of a surname in the past, but Hav has grown fond of "Antiel" and even has it painted on the brow of his TIE helmet.

Hav has continued to use Antiel as his surname beyond military purposes and is known as Hav Antiel in multiple contexts. Traditionally, male heirs of the reigning monarch receive a dukedom immediately prior to marriage, the most recent being his grandfather, King Van II, who received the dukedom of Sosuuna.

As of 28 ABY, Hav remains the only adult heir of Van II who has not received an formal honorific.

===Honors===
Upon his commission to the TIE Corps, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary. Commodore-in-Chief is a strictly ceremonial title that was created when Imperial control of Dosuun began in 5 ABY. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Seelona. Robus, who served as a cadet in the Imperial Navy prior to the Galactic Civil War, completed his attachment to the 533rd Imperial Reconnaissance Group and later took up a staff officer role with said unit until the fall of Emperor Palpatine.

Although the title is ceremonial, Hav continues to fulfill the duties of the office, including presiding over the annual fleet week festivities in Sosunna.

===Arms===

! Arms of His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun
|-
| '''Crest:''' Crests arms in the House of Sosuuna typically include multiple symbolic charges or beasts that represent the wearer's lineage or history, often depicted in brilliant gold. Hav eschewed tradition and requested a circle surrounded by eight trapezoids framing a view of Dosuun from space, framed in simple durasteel. The combination of the central circular frame and eight surrounding trapezoids resemble both the view from the cockpit of a TIE/ln starfighter and the resonator panels of a vintage Terrestrial brand quetarra.
|-
| '''Bed:''' According to tradition, the crest rests on a ribbed pillow. The purple hue signifies royalty while the ribbed texture represents a non-married male.
|-
| '''Ruffle:''' The plain, non-gilded ruffle represents Hav's pursuit of civic duty and the fact that he has not yet been granted a dukedom.
|-
|'''Current Location:''' The current location of Hav's arms is unknown but presumed to be safely stored in Meer Castle.

== The Drunken Bastion ==

The Drunken Bastion has a very large spacious area, with a dance floor, wetbar, dining area, and gaming, plus lounge seats to hang around. In this bar you can expect to have a lot of music playing loudly, but just loud enough to where you can still hold a conversation.

 Bar Area (H0-P5’s Hoppery)
 The bar area consists of many features. On the right hand side of the lounge is a large rectangular wet bar which can provide seating for up to 50 people at a time, high chairs are available upon request for those vertically challenged. The bar has multiple neon signs designed based of each squadron’s emblem which adorn the walls of the bar along with banners from squadrons who won fleet wide competitions. You will commonly find each respective squadron seated under their own neon sign and banner during slow days.
Majority of the flooring is a hardwood, made up from the Wroshyr trees found on Kashyyyk, near the bar counter is a traditional diner style flooring with black and white checkered tile to complete the traditional diner motif.
 A fully stocked kitchen with a to-go style window can be found centered on the right of the wall, similar to what you would find in most diners. The chef assigned to the kitchen handles all the orders in the back with a non-droid barkeep up front taking orders for food. All drink orders are handled by the newly installed mixicologist droid called H0-P5 who can serve over 1000 different drinks.
 The wetbar is adorned with multiple rubber bar mats which have the Emperor’s Hammer insignia as well as napkins, glasses, and mugs which also bear the same insignia. Multiple shelves of empty glasses can be found along the walls of the bar. The bar comes equipped with multiple coolers, a sink station, and a large projection screen which displays different sports from throughout the universe.
 All well-drink pull handles bear the logos of each representative ISD-II. The Hammer, the Warrior, and the Challenge each come with their own distinctive flavor profile and each pull handle is adorned with each ship’s logo. Bottles are also available for those who prefer bottled beverages, each bottle is labeled with all of the squadrons emblems, however all bottled beer is of the same flavor.
Dining area: (The Fueling Station)
 The dining area is adjacent to the wetbar and guests can either be seated at the dining area or at the wetbar to order food, all sourced using the Empire’s extensive connections. The Dining area is sectioned off away from the remainder of the lounge to allow for a quieter atmosphere to speak and discuss topics while dining.
 The seating is booth style and also table style with 5 large tables seating up to 10 people, and smaller booth style which seats up to 6. All seating is dark color material with red, green, and blue trimming which is a homage to each ship’s uniforms. The larger tables come equipped with a digital sabaac game format so you may play while you eat.
 Dance Floor: (The Imperial Floor)
 Further into lounge you will find a large dance floor and stage with multiple lighting rigs, strobe lights, laser lights, and even a disco ball! The dance floor comes equipped with a PA system for karaoke nights and surprise guest entertainers where they can be front and center to liven up the party. The lights can be turned down and focused on the star of the show for a more intimate concert type experience. A jukebox is also available when the stage is not in use. The jukebox comes equipped with all the familiar songs created by pilots of Emperor’s Hammer, such as the popular “Rho Rho Rho your TIE”, “Sin Squad”, “Lambda is the Answer”, and more.
 Gaming Area: (Gundark Training Zone)
 Off to the left of the lounge is the gaming area where there are multiple lounge booths and large circular cushioned seats. The gaming section has multiple Hammer Toss stalls where guests can throw hammers at a target, a shooting gallery where you unleash the Warrior within by taking down the rebel scum targets using modified E-11 blaster rifles, six dart boards, and four billiard tables for those who like to Challenge others in a rousing game of pool.

Hav Antiel: /* Personnel with the rank of Rear Admiral */

[[Category:Ranks of the Emperor's Hammer]]
'''Rear Admiral''' (RA) is the lowest command rank of the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. It shares parity with its [[Rear Admiral (TIE Corps)|TIE Corps counterpart]], and is transferrable between the main EH and [[TIE Corps]].

[[File:TCRA.png|thumb|300px|right|An Emperor's Hammer Rear Admiral's rank insignia]]

==Definition==
This is the first rank of Admiralty and is used as the [[Appointment rank]] for [[Command Attaché]]s and [[Fleet Advisor]]s. It has also been used even for [[Command Officer]]s in the past, but it is far more common for [[Vice Admiral (Emperor's Hammer)|Vice Admiral]] to be used for that purpose.

Sylas Pitt is a human from Brolsam.His father died defending Sylas and his mother while they fled from Brolsam after the liberation of Kal'Shebbol. His father was a retired Stormtrooper, while his mother was a retired logistics officer.One of the earliest memories for Sylas was at two years old, when the liberation of Kal'Shebbol by The New Republic caused a civil uproar around the sector. His parents were retired Imperial Officers who had retreated to Brolsam to live out the rest of their lives with their only son. Having such a well-known history, his family were quickly targeted by local angry mobs, looking to round up and imprison Imperial Officials and sympathizers. His father lost his life defending Sylas and his mother, so they may escape. As a refugee, Sylas was raised by his mother on Coruscant, were he became enamored with the Imperial Navy. Honoring his father, Sylas dreamed of following in his footsteps. Sylas helped his mother with their small store in the alleys of Coruscant. He made deliveries and helped maintain the finances of the humble shop.

[[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Admiral]] Hav Antiel serves on the [[Command Staff|Emperor's Hammer Command Staff]] as [[Command Attache|Command Attaché]] to the [[Logistics Officer]] aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Colossus|Colossus]].

Born into the Dosuun's Royal House of Sosuuna, Hav chose a military career over politics, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform [[Daedalus|Daedalus]] in the [[Phare System]]. He was commissioned as a pilot into the TIE Corps' [[Epsilon Squadron]] and served as Squadron Commander of Epsilon, [[Sin Squadron|Sin]], and [[Rho Squadron|Rho]] squadrons, as well as [[Commodore]] of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warrior.

==Biography==

===Ancestry===
At the time of his birth, Hav was third in line of succession to his grandfather, King Van II, as King of Dosuun, but is currently sixth in line after his mother, Princess Mair, Dutchess of Sosuuna, his older sister Princess Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, and Morii's three children.

Hav's great-great-grandfather, Van I, was the first King of Dosuun, one of the first human inhabitants of the planet, and founder of the royal House of Sosuuna. Van I issued letters patent in 120 BBY declaring his heirs as members of the House of Sosuuna and bearers of its name. Hav's great-grandmother, Maur, the first queen regnant of Dosuun, oversaw the increased presence of the Republic on the planet. The policies Maur put in place allowed an easy transfer of executive power to the Empire during the reign of her son, Hav's grandfather, Van II. After taking the throne following Maur's death in 50 BBY, Van II has become Dosuun's longest-serving sovereign. Although Van II witnessed the rise and fall of the Empire, Dosuun has remained relatively unaffected by the turmoil and changing political climate of the galaxy during his reign.

Ancestors on Hav's father's side trace their lineage to Corellia. His paternal great-great-great-grandfather, Rebus Antiel, was a wealthy Corellian merchant who emigrated to Dosuun following the fall of the House of Solo. Hav's paternal great-grandfather, Ran Antiel, worked to increase then-Senator Palpatine's support among Wild Space sectors. During the Clone Wars, Ran supplied infrastructure support to the Grand Army of the Republic during the Outer Rim Campaign. During this time, the royal family was eager to prove their loyalty to the nascent Empire. Sovereign Queen Maur, Hav's maternal great-grandmother, granted Ran the dukedom of Seelona and, by extension, proximity to the royal family. The next thirty years would witness the Antiel family intertwine with the House of Sosuuna, and it was little surprise when King Van II announced Princess Mair's bethrothal to Robus of Seelona in 10 BBY.

===Early Life===
Hav was born on the royal yacht Aledama on the 7th month of 7 BBY as the second child of Mair and Robus of Seelona. He was christened with the royal name Hav on return to Meer Castle by his grandfather, Van II. His symbolic regents at the time of his birth were his paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, his sister Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, his paternal uncle Garm (a former Imperial pilot), Lady Lynadim (his maternal cousin), and Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond.

Like their royal precedessors, Hav's parents eschewed the Core World tradition of excessively-long royal names, settling on the monosyllabic "Hav" that would be their son's name both inside and outside of Meer Castle. Because he has not been granted a dukedom (a title traditionally bestowed shortly before male heirs are married), Hav retains the broad title Prince of Dosuun.

Hav's paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, wanted his grandchildren to have a broad range of experiences before settling into the relative monotony of royal life. Hav's Uncle Garm played an important role in this regard, encouraging Hav to study art, music, sport, and flying, frequently inviting young Hav to join him on his flying exploits. Hav frequently joined his parents on tours of the Core Worlds, and he eventually developed an interest in exploring Wild Space. As Hav approached adulthood, he found it difficult to choose between a future spent in space or on Dosuun.

===Education===
Hav received a private eduation from tutors at Meer Castle during his primary years. At age 13, Hav enrolled at Cruthers School, an independent boarding school founded by Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond. At Cruthers, Hav took up smashball and joined the school's strings ensemble. Hav studied literature, history, art, music, and engineering at high level, obtaining certifications in all except engineering. Admiral DeGrond took an interest in young Hav during his time at Cruthers, often granting Hav special privileges and at one point inviting the young prince aboard his Victory-class Star Destroyer Auspice.

Following his matriculation from Cruthers, Hav was torn between his interests in music and education and the desire stoked by Admiral DeGrond to serve in Dosuun's Planetary Naval Auxiliary. As an 18-year-old, he was old enough to earn flight certification, but Hav's family pressured him to continue his education in the Core Worlds like his mother and grandfather. It was Hav's Uncle Garm who convinced the young prince to enroll at Dammon University on Corulag due to its proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division facility.

At Dammon University, Hav embarked on a degree course in music but later changed his main subject to history, going on to earn mastery certification with honors. While at the university, he represented Corulag in Quetarra Center's Quetarra-Thon in 13 ABY, placing as second runner-up. It was during his time at Dammon that Hav began using the name "Antiel" among his classmates. Proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division provided opportunities to witness experimental craft, which regularly flew over the university. This experience cemented Hav's desire to become a pilot, even as he was dedicating his time to his studies.

===Personal Life===
In addition to his exploits in command of Sin Squadron and the Warrior, Hav is an accomplished artist, musician, and athlete. He designed and created Sin's squadron patches, and he has painted TIE pilot helmets for a number of his TIE Corps colleagues. During his sabbatical in Wild Space, Hav played quetarra, quintolium, and hallikset in the b'ssa nuuvu band The Pink Banthas, a name that Hav later used for his personal ships in the TIE Corps. It was during his time touring with the group that Hav was kidnapped by Zabrak pirates and held for ransom, ultimately losing both hands (and his musical aspirations).

==Military Career==
After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space and subsequent kidnapping, Hav decided on a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus. While onboard the Daedalus, Hav completed practical training in the TIE/ln, TIE/sa, and TIE/IN and simulated training in the TIE/ad, TIE/D, and Alpha-class Xg-1 Assault Gunboat and Missile Boat. The young pilot developed an appreciation for the classic unshielded TIE craft that his uncle had piloted during the Galactic Civil War. He found that the simplicity of the earlier TIE Series models demanded creativity and ingenuity in battle, whereas later models (the TIE/D and Missile Boat in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

===Epsilon Squadron===
Upon earning his flight certification, Hav was assigned to Epsilon Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Hammer|Hammer]]. Under the command of [[Squadron Commander|CMDR]] [[Dunta Polo]] and [[Flight Leader|flight leader]] [[Jarion Renalds]], Hav began taking missions in a Missile Boat Mk.II designated Epsilon 3-2. Hav earned a promotion to full lieutenant in his first month of service by winning a contest to design the squadron patch for the newly-reactivated Sin Squadron. Within a month, Hav had earned his first merit award, an Imperial Security Medal for completing 14 missions.

A voracious student, Hav took the opportunity to further his training and certifications through the [[Imperial Weapons And Tactics School|Imperial Weapons and Tactics School]], earning his first Iron Stars for leading Epsilon in number of missions and courses completed. He quickly earned the Commendation of Bravery for completing 30 missions, and he was soon challenging Hammer veterans at the top of the Kill Board.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Epsilon2-3overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel piloting TIE/ad Epsilon 2-3 in support of ISDII Hammer.]]</div>
After a promotion to lieutenant commander, Hav was assigned as the lead for Epsilon's third flight. To celebrate, Hav christened his Missile Boat the "Pink Bantha" after his former music group. However, the celebration would be short-lived: during an escort mission, Hav crashed into debris, damaging his ship and causing severe injuries to his upper body. The young pilot was rescued by a shuttle from Tweezers squadron. The injury grounded Hav for ten months and caused lingering trauma that left Hav less eager to take missions.

To make himself useful as he healed, Hav sought more leadership within the squadron, and Polo assigned Hav as the lead of Flight III. This temporary "downtime" eventually stretched out to nearly a year of desk duty for Antiel. As he healed up and earned clearance to resume flight activity, Antiel found that his nerves were keeping him from flying. Merely approaching his ship caused tremors in his hands, and he sought inventive reasons to explain his flight absences. Hav knew that his career was at a crossroads; he would either need to start flying or find another way to make himself useful to the Emperor's Hammer.

When Polo announced that he would be resigning from the lead of Epsilon after eight years in command, Antiel saw an answer. His application for command of Epsilon was met a reply from then Hammer Commodore [[Anahorn Dempsey]] noting that Antiel had been "a wee bit invisible" over the last year. Despite Dempsey's reservations, Antiel was selected to succeed Polo as Epsilon CMDR, and the newly-minted Commander rang in 25 ABY as Epsilon 1-1.

However, Antiel's tenure got off to a rocky start. His plan—focus on the desk duties and hold fast to regulation and decorum—quickly proved unpopular with both his pilots and the Commodore. Weekly squadron reports were met with complaints about formatting. At one point, the only pilot to participate in Antiel's intra-squadron competitions was the Dempsey, the Commodore. Antiel knew his best bet was to start flying again, but his old fears kept him from jumping back in the cockpit.

After less than two months in command, Antiel requested a transfer back to flight member status, thus resigning his commander rank commission. At the time, Antiel regarded the move as the low-water mark of his career but would later rate it as a career-making decision. Epsilon's new commander, [[Miles Prower|Lieutenant Commander Miles Prower]], was a former [[Wing Commander]] who had returned from the [[Reserves]] to helm Epsilon after Antiel's unexpected retirement. Curious about Antiel's change in form from his first years as an active flight member to a desk-bound commander, Prower reached out to Antiel, pushing him address the incident that caused him so much trepidation. Prower took time to get to know Antiel and even flew missions alongside the former commander to help him find his strengths again. The two developed an easy friendship that went beyond commander/flight member and would last as they both eventually rose to lead sister Star Destroyers for the TIE Corps.

With Prower's guidance, Antiel started to take on missions in the Missile Boat Mk.II christened "Pink Bantha III." After nearly a year of attempts, Antiel returned to the cockpit for his first active duty mission. A few months later, Antiel earned his first [[Bronze Star of the Empire]] for his flight activity and he began to make his way through the [[Fleet Commander's Honor Guard]] rankings. Halfway through 26 ABY, Antiel was stronger than ever, flying regular missions and challenging for the title of "Ace of the TIE Corps." Leaders within the TIE Corps were starting to take notice, and despite Antiel's insistence on staying a lowly Flight Member, it wouldn't be long before he was called to lead again.

===Sin Squadron===
At Lieutenant Colonel Prower's insistence, Antiel applied for command of Sin Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warrior. Sin held some significance for Antiel at that point; he had earned his promotion to full lieutenant by winning a contest to design Sin's new patch when the squadron was reactivated in 23 ABY. After three years aboard the Hammer, Antiel had some hesitation about his new ship. The Warrior had a reputation for skilled ace pilots who had little patience for inexperience. The Warrior and her pilots had won the annual [[Raise the Flag 2016|Raise the Flag]] wargame competition for the last three years, thereby earning honors as the Flagship of the TIE Corps.

When Antiel assumed command of Sin, the once-mighty squadron was in a state of disrepair. Under command of [[Plif|Colonel Plif]], Sin had challenged [[Theta]] for top squadron honors in its first two years of reactivation. But by the time Antiel inherited command, Sin was languishing in eighth place in activity, second only to Epsilon. In the words of previous commander [[Jarek La'an]], Sin was in "real danger of becoming unsustainable." It was clear that something needed to change. Antiel had been given a second chance with this command, and he knew the trajectory of his career was at stake.

<div style="float:left">[[File:Epsilon3-2overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel's most significant TC craft, the Missile Boat "Pink Bantha III"]]</div>
In his previous failed attempt at command, Antiel had focused on strict adherence to regulations and decorum. He largely kept to his office and relied on his flight leaders for communication with the pilots of Epsilon Squadron. As Sin Commander, however, Antiel make a conscious decision to humble himself to his pilots. He focused on flying missions and building relationships with his crew. He spent time meeting with pilots in the Warrior's cantina, regaling them with stories and listening to their ideas. He quickly identified a core group of pilots—AKA "Sinners"—whom he could trust and rely on.

Upon assuming command of Sin Squadron, Antiel found that a group of pilots had gone away without leave—earning pilot salaries and benefits without reporting for duty. Because of a culture of giving pilots the benefit of the doubt, previous commanders had largely looked the other way regarding AWOL pilots. However, Antiel believe that this culture was hindering the productivity of his pilots. Rather than protecting them, he found that this behavior made active pilots feel overlooked and underappreciated. For the duration of his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel regularly shipped pilots to the M/FRG [[Phoenix|Phoenix]] if they failed to meet monthly expectations.

Antiel determined that a "rebrand" would help Sin return to its former glory. In the first two months of his command, Antiel designed a new squadron patch with the colors of his alma mater, the maroon and gold of Cruthers. He charged his flight leaders with determining new flight nicknames and mottoes. Antiel christened Flight I "Hell’s Own" and chose the motto "We are as good as they say." Flight II leader [[Rando]] chose "Hell’s Wrath" and the motto "Reinforcements have arrived." [[Earnim Branet|Major Earnim Branet]] designated Flight III "Winged Hell" and coined the motto "Not even hell stops us."

During his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel began to feel comfortable in the cockpit again. He began taking regular missions and frequently challenged the Corps' top pilots on the Kill Board and began earning notice as a skilled, active pilot. He ended 25 ABY as the third-most active pilot behind stalwarts [[Pete Mitchell|Vice Admiral Pete Mitchell]] and General Anahorn Dempsey and entered 26 ABY as one of the most active pilots of the TIE Corps. He developed strong relationships not only with his pilots, but also with the Warrior's Commodores: first Mitchell and then Plif.

Under Antiel's commander, Sin began the steady return to legitimacy. In the next two Raise the Flag competitions, Sin improved to fifth and third place among TIE Corps squadrons, respectively. When SOO Mitchell was named as the next [[TIE Corps Commander]] and Warrior Commodore Admiral Plif was selected as the next [[Strategic Operations Officer]], Antiel felt friendly pressure to apply for the open position of Warrior Commodore.

===Warrior Commodore===
After a year in command of Sin Squadron, Antiel's star was rising. Plif's appointment to SOO left the Warrior without a Commodore, and Antiel felt confident that he was the right officer for the position. In 26 ABY, then [[Lieutenant Colonel (TIE Corps)|Lieutenant Colonel]] Antiel was placed in command of the Warrior and promoted to [[Rear Admiral (TIE Corps)|Rear Admiral]].

RA Antiel's first priority was to find new CMDRs for Sin and [[Theta Squadron|Theta]] Squadrons. Antiel named his top Flight Leader, [[Earnim Branet|Colonel Earnim Branet]] to lead Sin Squadron. [[Jarek La'an|General Jarek La'an]] volunteered for another tour of duty as Theta CMDR, having previously served in the role from 22-23 ABY. Antiel noted that he felt pressure to maintain the high performance of his predecessors. Former WarCOMs Pete Mitchell went on to become the next TCCOMs, and the Warrior had won every [[Raise the Flag]] since the ship was activated in 22 ABY.

<blockquote>''The ''Warrior'' belongs to her pilots. It's your ship, after all. We have a strong culture aboard the ''Warrior'', and I'm pleased with our trajectory. With that being said, there's always room for growth, and I want your voices to guide our next steps. My door is always open, and I hope you will reach out to me whenever you have ideas or concerns.''</blockquote>
<blockquote>—RA Hav Antiel's first ''Warrior'' report, 26 ABY</blockquote>

The Warrior continued to operate as the TIE Corps Flagship during Antiel's first year as Commodore. Antiel took a conservative approach, maintaining the ship-wide competitions and practices of his immediate predecessor, Plif. However, Antiel felt increasingly isolated in the position. As a squadron commander, Antiel interacted with his pilots daily and took missions on a regular basis. As an admiral, Antiel missed those direct connections. He also itched to fly missions. It wasn't strictly forbidden for Commodores to fly fighters, but Antiel missed the briefings, the scheduled flights, and the ready-room atmosphere of squadron life. He didn't feel the same thrill booking a flight crew for his TIE Advanced x1, Pink Bantha IV, and his flight activity dropped to 25% of his previous levels.

As the next [[Raise the Flag 2019|Raise the Flag]] competition approached, Antiel leaned on the Warrior's traditional approach, confident that the ship would retain its undefeated streak. In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|previous year's competition]], the Warrior had more than doubled the score of the Hammer. However, Antiel and the pilots of the Warrior were in for a rude awakening. The Hammer, led by veterans from Epsilon Squadron, formed a plan to take the lead early. They stormed the scoreboard with their combined efforts and demoralized the Warrior and her Commodore.

When the contest was over, the Hammer was the new TIE Corps Flagship. Antiel had become the first ''Warrior'' Commodore to lose Raise the Flag.

Defeat in RtF coupled with Antiel's lingering feelings of isolation. He dreamt of returning to Sin Squadron as its Commander and earning promotion to General. He longed for regular missions and briefings in the ready room. His career trajectory was pointed at the [[TIE Corps Command Staff]], and a logical next step would be to apply for [[Combat Operations Officer]] or [[Strategic Operations Officer]]. Antiel knew those positions meant more logistics and desk responsibilities and less time to connect with pilots and fly his personal fighter. Sinking into a professional slump, Antiel started to slack on his duties, failing to issue reports and falling behind on his duties for the first time in his career.

===Rho Squadron===
After nearly two years in command of the ''Warrior,'' Antiel learned that FA Plif, now the TIE Corps Commander, planned to reactivate a fourth squadron on the ship. Antiel felt he was at a crossroads between trying to move upwards and become a member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or return to a familiar role as commander of a new squadron. The pilot in him missed the regular missions and camaraderie with his peers. Antiel enjoyed being an Admiral and believed he had done well to lead the ''Warrior,'' but the attraction of a new squadron proved to be more compelling.

Plif met with Antiel to discuss the details of the new squadron. Antiel would have choice of name from the list of inactive Wing II squadrons (Psi, Rho, or Sigma at the time). He would also have some say in the squadron's objective and fighter complement. As Commodore, Antiel had learned the strengths and weaknesses of the ''Warrior'''s squadron assignments. Sin Squadron was useful for sending out ahead of the ''Warrior'' (or without it completely) for deep space missions. Theta Squadron's pacification objective meant its targets were largely terrestrial, and Kappa Squadron was typically busy on escort duty. This combination often left the ''Warrior'' exposed without a fighter defense.

With Plif's guidance, Antiel reforged Rho as a strike squadron of twelve TIE Interceptors with the mission to defend the ''Warrior'' from any and all threats, doing so without the safety net and resulting carelessness that shields can foment. While announcing the reactivated squadron, Plif commented, "It's a bold choice, one that will demand the sharpest skills and constant vigilance."

To christen the reopened squadron, Antiel designed a new squadron patch in the classic Imperial colors of black and gray. At its center is a TIE Intercetor ready to strike.

===Emperor's Hammer Command Staff===
In 28 ABY, inspired by his interest in history and its preservation, Hav applied to serve the Logistics Office. [[Rapier|Grand Admiral Rapier]] and the Logistics Officer, [[Mark Schueler|Fleet Admiral Mark Schueler]], accepted Hav's application and named him Command Attaché to the LO. The appointment rank for Command Attaché is Rear Admiral, but Hav was lucky to retain his recent Admiral promotion. In his duties, Hav shared time on the Warrior and Colossus

In his first year as CA:LO, Hav focused on the Encyclopaedia Imperia, specifically its title conventions and style. He rid the archive of broken and double redirects and started to address the long list of dead-end, orphaned, and wanted pages. During that first year, the LO's office moved from the Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer [[Sovereign|Sovereign]] to the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught [[Avenger (ship)|Avenger]] before finally settling on the Colossus.

===TIE Helmet===

{| class="wikitable"
| [[File:HavAntielHelmet.png|300px]]
| '''Notched Cogs'''
As a child, Hav developed a keen interest in pilots' helmets. He was fascinated by the wild custom paintjobs on rebel helmets and the unique, almost undetectable touches on Imperial helmets. He memorized the designs of his favorite pilots and sketched ideas for his own helmet designs well into his adulthood.

When Hav earned his commission to full lieutenant in the TIE Corps, Princess Mair presented him with an ornate, metallic purple and gold custom TIE pilot helmet adorned with the the crest from his personal coat of arms. Breaking protocol, Hav refused the gift. He wished to avoid undue attention and hoped to hide his royal heritage as much as possible in the TIE Corps. Plus he had longed to design his own helmet, one that more closely resembled the TIE pilots' "buckets" he had seen up close on Corulag. Hav could't picture "Mauler" Mithel donning Mair's purple and gold monstrosity.

In designing his helmet, Hav borrowed elements from three pilots who flew with Lord Vader's Black Squadron at the Battle of Yavin: the eclipsed Imperial Cog from DS-61-4 ("Dark Curse"); the labeled brow from DS-61-3 ("Backstabber); and the black inlet cowl from DS-61-2 ("Mauler" Mithel). Hav added traditional "widow's tears" after his 10th confirmed kill in 23 ABY to mark his status as an ace pilot. Despite borrowing from those legendary pilots' designs, Hav aimed to make his helmet unique. He labeled the brow of his helmet "Antiel" in Aurabesh and included the eclipsed cog on both sides of the helmet. In 25 ABY, Antiel added the unique durasteel-colored outline stripes on the "mohawk" area of his helmet.

Over the years, Hav has made small changes to the helmet while keeping a uniform and familiar style. Since 28 ABY, the notched Imperial Cogs, widow's tears, and mohawk stripes have been a uniform durasteel gray. Although it is TIE Corps tradition to include the pilot's squadron patch on the cheek or chin of the helmet, Hav prefers to keep his helmet free from squadron markings. Hav notes that the great pilots in history used the same or similar designs while they flew for different squadrons and hopes to tie the helmet design to himself rather than a squadron.

Hav is finicky about his helmet's fit an finish, and he goes through multiple helmets per year. Although the Emperor's Hammer provides standard equipment to TIE Corps pilots, Hav personally pays for his helmets from his favorite supplier. Hav likes to collect other pilots' helmets, usually through helmet exchanges where Hav symbolically trades helmets with another pilot. His helmet collection, including battle-used and replica helmets, is rumored to number into the hundreds.

==Royal titles, styles, honors, and arms==

===Title and styles===
Hav's full title is ''His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun'', but he is familiarly known as Hav Antiel. Although his recorded name is simply "Hav," he uses his paternal grandfather's Corellian surname "Antiel" in service to the Emperor's Hammer. Hav's mother and older sister have used the geographical suffix "Sosuuna" in lieu of a surname in the past, but Hav has grown fond of "Antiel" and even has it painted on the brow of his TIE helmet.

Hav has continued to use Antiel as his surname beyond military purposes and is known as Hav Antiel in multiple contexts. Traditionally, male heirs of the reigning monarch receive a dukedom immediately prior to marriage, the most recent being his grandfather, King Van II, who received the dukedom of Sosuuna.

As of 28 ABY, Hav remains the only adult heir of Van II who has not received an formal honorific.

===Honors===
Upon his commission to the TIE Corps, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary. Commodore-in-Chief is a strictly ceremonial title that was created when Imperial control of Dosuun began in 5 ABY. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Seelona. Robus, who served as a cadet in the Imperial Navy prior to the Galactic Civil War, completed his attachment to the 533rd Imperial Reconnaissance Group and later took up a staff officer role with said unit until the fall of Emperor Palpatine.

Although the title is ceremonial, Hav continues to fulfill the duties of the office, including presiding over the annual fleet week festivities in Sosunna.

===Arms===

! Arms of His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun
|-
| '''Crest:''' Crests arms in the House of Sosuuna typically include multiple symbolic charges or beasts that represent the wearer's lineage or history, often depicted in brilliant gold. Hav eschewed tradition and requested a circle surrounded by eight trapezoids framing a view of Dosuun from space, framed in simple durasteel. The combination of the central circular frame and eight surrounding trapezoids resemble both the view from the cockpit of a TIE/ln starfighter and the resonator panels of a vintage Terrestrial brand quetarra.
|-
| '''Bed:''' According to tradition, the crest rests on a ribbed pillow. The purple hue signifies royalty while the ribbed texture represents a non-married male.
|-
| '''Ruffle:''' The plain, non-gilded ruffle represents Hav's pursuit of civic duty and the fact that he has not yet been granted a dukedom.
|-
|'''Current Location:''' The current location of Hav's arms is unknown but presumed to be safely stored in Meer Castle.

==Squadron Achievements==

* In the [[Raise the Flag 2020|2020 Raise the Flag]] competition, Rho Squadron took first place among the 11 squadrons in the TIE Corps with 8,078 points.

==Real-Life History==

===2020===
By 2019, the TIE Corps' membership had dwindled from its heyday in the early 2000s, leading to the closure of Beta and Sigma squadrons. This left the Corps with only six active squadrons. Efforts to attract new and returning pilots started working, and by March of 2020, the TCCOM announced plans to reopen two squadrons. Hav Antiel, then Commodore of the Warrior, expressed interest in leading the ship's new squadron. From the available list of inactive Wing II squadrons (Psi, Rho, and Sigma), Antiel chose Rho because it was a relative "blank slate" compared to Sigma (which had been mothballed in 2019) and Psi (which had historical reports and logos on file). Antiel found evidence that a historical Rho Squadron had existed in the past, but he was unable to find any reports, logos, or solid history.

In developing the initial mission and image of Rho Squadron, CMDR Antiel looked to the Imperial squadrons in the original Star Wars trilogy, depicted with gray/blue fighters and black uniforms. When Rho was reactivated, every other TIE Corps squadron consisted of superfighters like the TIE Defender and Missile Boat. Sin Squadron had just earned a signature superfighter, the TIE Sinister, that notably included cupholders and air conditioning. This inspired Antiel to pitch Rho as a throwback to the canonical Imperial mindset: bad guys with expendable ships and pilots and stark black and gray iconography. Antiel told the TCCOM, FA Plif, of his desire for a complement of shieldless TIEs, and Plif helped Antiel decide on the menacing TIE Interceptor. While other squadrons used different fighters for each flight, Antiel followed the examples shown in the films, where squadrons consisted of a dozen of the same fighter.

Rho Squadron was activated on 16 April 2020 with three veteran pilots: [[Trideo Arkson]] and [[Drake Starfire]] as [[Flight Leader|Flight Leaders]] and Hav Antiel as CMDR. They were joined by another returning veteran, [[Jarion Renalds]] on 18 April. Although Trideo Arkson soon went AWOL and Drake Starfire left to command [[Inferno Squadron]], Rho grew, attracting new pilots to fly the TC's only TIE Interceptors. On 21 June 2020, Rho Squadron became full for the first time with 12 active pilots.

Still reeling from his disappointing [[Raise the Flag 2019]] loss as Commodore of the Warrior, Antiel saw 2020's RtF competition as an opportunity to redeem himself and announce his new squadron as real challengers. Rho began preparations for RtF months ahead of its September start date. As preemptive rule changes scuttled some of Rho's strategies, the pilots adapted, developing alternative strategies before finally settling on a familiar formula: single-player SPAM flying.

[[Raise the Flag 2020]] became a three-way contest between Rho, fellow newcomers [[Tempest Squadron]], and five-time winners [[Theta Squadron]]. Rho's SP focus, spearheaded by Antiel, [[Lo Mar]], [[Epicedion]], and [[Frenchie6]], was bolstered by Lo Mar's fiction entries, including his Bonus-winning fiction. At the close of the contest, Rho set a new RtF record with 8,078 points, becoming only the third different squadron to earn the title of TCCOM's Escort Squadron. Four of Rho's pilots ranked among the Top 10, more than any other squadron. For 10 of Rho's 12 pilots, 2020 marked their first-ever Raise the Flag competition. Although Rho's triumph gave the new squadron prestige and enmity, the magnitude of their RtF accomplishment was acknowledged across the TIE Corps.

<blockquote>''COL Antiel led a group of junior officers and new recruits to become the TCCOM's Escort Squadron in Raise the Flag 2020. Having tried and failed to overcome the Wall of Theta myself a few times, I'm proud of what Rho Squadron was able to achieve.''</blockquote>
<blockquote>—FA Plif</blockquote>

Rho's attitude and sense of community were pivotal to the squadron's success in RtF. Although every member of the squadron contributed to that sense of community, the heart of Rho in 2020 was its XO, [[acetiepilot]]. Tommy, as he was known to his peers, coined and epitomized the "Rho looks after Rho" mindset by checking in with other pilots, stoking conversations on comms, and organizing pools to buy copies of games for Rho pilots. Antiel recognized Tommy's potential and made plans with his XO to take over command of the squadron in 2021.

==Overview==
'''Zekk Terrik''' is the current [[Commodore]] of Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|Warrior]] and host of [[The TIE Pilot Podcast]]. He is also a former Aedile in Clan Scholae Palatinae, and previously served as [[Squadron Commander|Commander]] of [[Sin Squadron]] aboard the Warrior, [[Pi Squadron]] aboard the [[Colossus|ISD Colossus]], and [[Theta Squadron]] aboard the [[Sovereign|SSSD Sovereign]].

==Biography==
Zekk was born and raised on Chandrila. He came from a family of middle-class bacta merchants who owned a small production and distribution operation that gradually got larger. While his family initially struggled and failed to grow their business during the Old Republic due to overwhelming and inefficient bureaucracy, the Empire largely forced their (mostly non-human) competition out of Chandrila, enabling the family business to flourish. His parents have since passed of natural causes and his sister is managing the family business.

Because of the success the family experienced under Imperial rule, despite Imperial oppression of Chandrila, they were regarded as loyalists by the Imperial regime, and frequently bought all of the bacta from the family business they could.

==TIE Corps==
When Zekk came of adulthood, he traveled to the Outer Rim after hearing of the Emperor's Hammer. He wanted to serve the Empire that had been so good to his family, and the EH was the best equipped and most well organized of the remaining Imperial factions. He considers it his duty to restore the Empire to its rightful place in Coruscant and to put a new Emperor on the throne.

After completing starfighter training and officer candidate school, Zekk was assigned to [[Wing II]] aboard the flagship of the EH, the SSSD Sovereign where he served for some time, rising to the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel (TIE Corps)|Lieutenant Colonel]] and commanding Theta Squadron.

During this time, he fell in love with a young woman who was an Imperial officer, Shayla Ludsorkim. They married and she became Shayla Terrik. They did not have children. During Zekk's leave of absence he remained in contact with his wife through long distance Imperial communique. However, during a routine transport between ships her patrol was attacked by Republic strike forces and her craft was boarded. She has not been seen since and is considered MIA.

He took a long leave of absence—nearly a decade—to return to Chandrila to care for his ailing parents. After their passing, his sister assumed control of the company, and Zekk returned to duty.

Zekk's immense skill at starfighter combat and piloting resulted in him being selected for Jedi training. He quickly became a disciple of the Dark Side, sensing its immense power would help him become a better pilot. For a time he was heavily involved in [[Dark Brotherhood]] activities and delved deeply into the Dark Side of the Force. He has become obsessed at trying to find his wife, also a trained Sith, through the Force. While he can sense that she is alive, he cannot sense her personally.

Zekk's immersion in the Dark Side mellowed a bit over the years. As his rage and hatred over the loss of Shayla began to drain him, he began to believe that the Dark Side did not have all the answers. With the limited knowledge of the Light Side that the Dark Brotherhood had to provide, Zekk nonetheless began experimenting with the Light Side of the Force, using calmness

[[Admiral (TIE Corps)|Admiral]]/[[General (TIE Corps)|General]] Hav Antiel is a [[Flight Member]] of [[Rho Squadron]] aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Warrior|Warrior]]. Hav also serves the [[Command Staff]] as [[Command Attache|Command Attaché]] to the [[Logistics Officer]] aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Colossus|Colossus]].

Born into the Dosuun's Royal House of Sosuuna, Hav chose a military career over politics, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform [[Daedalus|Daedalus]] in the [[Phare System]]. He was commissioned as a pilot into the TIE Corps' [[Epsilon Squadron]] and served as Squadron Commander of Epsilon, [[Sin Squadron|Sin]], and Rho Squadrons, as well as [[Commodore]] of the Warrior.

==Biography==

===Ancestry===
At the time of his birth, Hav was third in line of succession to his grandfather, King Van II, as King of Dosuun, but is currently sixth in line after his mother, Princess Mair, Dutchess of Sosuuna, his older sister Princess Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, and Morii's three children.

Hav's great-great-grandfather, Van I, was the first King of Dosuun, one of the first human inhabitants of the planet, and founder of the royal House of Sosuuna. Van I issued letters patent in 120 BBY declaring his heirs as members of the House of Sosuuna and bearers of its name. Hav's great-grandmother, Maur, the first queen regnant of Dosuun, oversaw the increased presence of the Republic on the planet. The policies Maur put in place allowed an easy transfer of executive power to the Empire during the reign of her son, Hav's grandfather, Van II. After taking the throne following Maur's death in 50 BBY, Van II has become Dosuun's longest-serving sovereign. Although Van II witnessed the rise and fall of the Empire, Dosuun has remained relatively unaffected by the turmoil and changing political climate of the galaxy during his reign.

Ancestors on Hav's father's side trace their lineage to Corellia. His paternal great-great-great-grandfather, Rebus Antiel, was a wealthy Corellian merchant who emigrated to Dosuun following the fall of the House of Solo. Hav's paternal great-grandfather, Ran Antiel, worked to increase then-Senator Palpatine's support among Wild Space sectors. During the Clone Wars, Ran supplied infrastructure support to the Grand Army of the Republic during the Outer Rim Campaign. During this time, the royal family was eager to prove their loyalty to the nascent Empire. Sovereign Queen Maur, Hav's maternal great-grandmother, granted Ran the dukedom of Seelona and, by extension, proximity to the royal family. The next thirty years would witness the Antiel family intertwine with the House of Sosuuna, and it was little surprise when King Van II announced Princess Mair's bethrothal to Robus of Seelona in 10 BBY.

===Early Life===
Hav was born on the royal yacht Aledama on the 7th month of 7 BBY as the second child of Mair and Robus of Seelona. He was christened with the royal name Hav on return to Meer Castle by his grandfather, Van II. His symbolic regents at the time of his birth were his paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, his sister Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, his paternal uncle Garm (a former Imperial pilot), Lady Lynadim (his maternal cousin), and Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond.

Like their royal precedessors, Hav's parents eschewed the Core World tradition of excessively-long royal names, settling on the monosyllabic "Hav" that would be their son's name both inside and outside of Meer Castle. Because he has not been granted a dukedom (a title traditionally bestowed shortly before male heirs are married), Hav retains the broad title Prince of Dosuun.

Hav's paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, wanted his grandchildren to have a broad range of experiences before settling into the relative monotony of royal life. Hav's Uncle Garm played an important role in this regard, encouraging Hav to study art, music, sport, and flying, frequently inviting young Hav to join him on his flying exploits. Hav frequently joined his parents on tours of the Core Worlds, and he eventually developed an interest in exploring Wild Space. As Hav approached adulthood, he found it difficult to choose between a future spent in space or on Dosuun.

===Education===
Hav received a private eduation from tutors at Meer Castle during his primary years. At age 13, Hav enrolled at Cruthers School, an independent boarding school founded by Sector Admiral Grek DeGrond. At Cruthers, Hav took up smashball and joined the school's strings ensemble. Hav studied literature, history, art, music, and engineering at high level, obtaining certifications in all except engineering. Admiral DeGrond took an interest in young Hav during his time at Cruthers, often granting Hav special privileges and at one point inviting the young prince aboard his Victory-class Star Destroyer Auspice.

Following his matriculation from Cruthers, Hav was torn between his interests in music and education and the desire stoked by Admiral DeGrond to serve in Dosuun's Planetary Naval Auxiliary. As an 18-year-old, he was old enough to earn flight certification, but Hav's family pressured him to continue his education in the Core Worlds like his mother and grandfather. It was Hav's Uncle Garm who convinced the young prince to enroll at Dammon University on Corulag due to its proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division facility.

At Dammon University, Hav embarked on a degree course in music but later changed his main subject to history, going on to earn mastery certification with honors. While at the university, he represented Corulag in Quetarra Center's Quetarra-Thon in 13 ABY, placing as second runner-up. It was during his time at Dammon that Hav began using the name "Antiel" among his classmates. Proximity to the Sienar Advanced Research Division provided opportunities to witness experimental craft, which regularly flew over the university. This experience cemented Hav's desire to become a pilot, even as he was dedicating his time to his studies.

===Personal Life===
In addition to his exploits in command of Sin Squadron and the Warrior, Hav is an accomplished artist, musician, and athlete. He designed and created Sin's squadron patches, and he has painted TIE pilot helmets for a number of his TIE Corps colleagues. During his sabbatical in Wild Space, Hav played quetarra, quintolium, and hallikset in the b'ssa nuuvu band The Pink Banthas, a name that Hav later used for his personal ships in the TIE Corps. It was during his time touring with the group that Hav was kidnapped by Zabrak pirates and held for ransom, ultimately losing both hands (and his musical aspirations).

==Military Career==
After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space and subsequent kidnapping, Hav decided on a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus. While onboard the Daedalus, Hav completed practical training in the TIE/ln, TIE/sa, and TIE/IN and simulated training in the TIE/ad, TIE/D, and Alpha-class Xg-1 Assault Gunboat and Missile Boat. The young pilot developed an appreciation for the classic unshielded TIE craft that his uncle had piloted during the Galactic Civil War. He found that the simplicity of the earlier TIE Series models demanded creativity and ingenuity in battle, whereas later models (the TIE/D and Missile Boat in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

===Epsilon Squadron===
Upon earning his flight certification, Hav was assigned to Epsilon Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [[Hammer|Hammer]]. Under the command of [[Squadron Commander|CMDR]] [[Dunta Polo]] and [[Flight Leader|flight leader]] [[Jarion Renalds]], Hav began taking missions in a Missile Boat Mk.II designated Epsilon 3-2. Hav earned a promotion to full lieutenant in his first month of service by winning a contest to design the squadron patch for the newly-reactivated Sin Squadron. Within a month, Hav had earned his first merit award, an Imperial Security Medal for completing 14 missions.

A voracious student, Hav took the opportunity to further his training and certifications through the [[Imperial Weapons And Tactics School|Imperial Weapons and Tactics School]], earning his first Iron Stars for leading Epsilon in number of missions and courses completed. He quickly earned the Commendation of Bravery for completing 30 missions, and he was soon challenging Hammer veterans at the top of the Kill Board.

<div style="float:right">[[File:Epsilon2-3overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel piloting TIE/ad Epsilon 2-3 in support of ISDII Hammer.]]</div>
After a promotion to lieutenant commander, Hav was assigned as the lead for Epsilon's third flight. To celebrate, Hav christened his Missile Boat the "Pink Bantha" after his former music group. However, the celebration would be short-lived: during an escort mission, Hav crashed into debris, damaging his ship and causing severe injuries to his upper body. The young pilot was rescued by a shuttle from Tweezers squadron. The injury grounded Hav for ten months and caused lingering trauma that left Hav less eager to take missions.

To make himself useful as he healed, Hav sought more leadership within the squadron, and Polo assigned Hav as the lead of Flight III. This temporary "downtime" eventually stretched out to nearly a year of desk duty for Antiel. As he healed up and earned clearance to resume flight activity, Antiel found that his nerves were keeping him from flying. Merely approaching his ship caused tremors in his hands, and he sought inventive reasons to explain his flight absences. Hav knew that his career was at a crossroads; he would either need to start flying or find another way to make himself useful to the Emperor's Hammer.

When Polo announced that he would be resigning from the lead of Epsilon after eight years in command, Antiel saw an answer. His application for command of Epsilon was met a reply from then Hammer Commodore [[Anahorn Dempsey]] noting that Antiel had been "a wee bit invisible" over the last year. Despite Dempsey's reservations, Antiel was selected to succeed Polo as Epsilon CMDR, and the newly-minted Commander rang in 25 ABY as Epsilon 1-1.

However, Antiel's tenure got off to a rocky start. His plan—focus on the desk duties and hold fast to regulation and decorum—quickly proved unpopular with both his pilots and the Commodore. Weekly squadron reports were met with complaints about formatting. At one point, the only pilot to participate in Antiel's intra-squadron competitions was the Dempsey, the Commodore. Antiel knew his best bet was to start flying again, but his old fears kept him from jumping back in the cockpit.

After less than two months in command, Antiel requested a transfer back to flight member status, thus resigning his commander rank commission. At the time, Antiel regarded the move as the low-water mark of his career but would later rate it as a career-making decision. Epsilon's new commander, [[Miles Prower|Lieutenant Commander Miles Prower]], was a former [[Wing Commander]] who had returned from the [[Reserves]] to helm Epsilon after Antiel's unexpected retirement. Curious about Antiel's change in form from his first years as an active flight member to a desk-bound commander, Prower reached out to Antiel, pushing him address the incident that caused him so much trepidation. Prower took time to get to know Antiel and even flew missions alongside the former commander to help him find his strengths again. The two developed an easy friendship that went beyond commander/flight member and would last as they both eventually rose to lead sister Star Destroyers for the TIE Corps.

With Prower's guidance, Antiel started to take on missions in the Missile Boat Mk.II christened "Pink Bantha III." After nearly a year of attempts, Antiel returned to the cockpit for his first active duty mission. A few months later, Antiel earned his first [[Bronze Star of the Empire]] for his flight activity and he began to make his way through the [[Fleet Commander's Honor Guard]] rankings. Halfway through 26 ABY, Antiel was stronger than ever, flying regular missions and challenging for the title of "Ace of the TIE Corps." Leaders within the TIE Corps were starting to take notice, and despite Antiel's insistence on staying a lowly Flight Member, it wouldn't be long before he was called to lead again.

===Sin Squadron===
At Lieutenant Colonel Prower's insistence, Antiel applied for command of Sin Squadron aboard the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Warrior. Sin held some significance for Antiel at that point; he had earned his promotion to full lieutenant by winning a contest to design Sin's new patch when the squadron was reactivated in 23 ABY. After three years aboard the Hammer, Antiel had some hesitation about his new ship. The Warrior had a reputation for skilled ace pilots who had little patience for inexperience. The Warrior and her pilots had won the annual [[Raise the Flag 2016|Raise the Flag]] wargame competition for the last three years, thereby earning honors as the Flagship of the TIE Corps.

When Antiel assumed command of Sin, the once-mighty squadron was in a state of disrepair. Under command of [[Plif|Colonel Plif]], Sin had challenged [[Theta]] for top squadron honors in its first two years of reactivation. But by the time Antiel inherited command, Sin was languishing in eighth place in activity, second only to Epsilon. In the words of previous commander [[Jarek La'an]], Sin was in "real danger of becoming unsustainable." It was clear that something needed to change. Antiel had been given a second chance with this command, and he knew the trajectory of his career was at stake.

<div style="float:left">[[File:Epsilon3-2overISDHammer.png |left|thumb|300px|Antiel's most significant TC craft, the Missile Boat "Pink Bantha III"]]</div>
In his previous failed attempt at command, Antiel had focused on strict adherence to regulations and decorum. He largely kept to his office and relied on his flight leaders for communication with the pilots of Epsilon Squadron. As Sin Commander, however, Antiel make a conscious decision to humble himself to his pilots. He focused on flying missions and building relationships with his crew. He spent time meeting with pilots in the Warrior's cantina, regaling them with stories and listening to their ideas. He quickly identified a core group of pilots—AKA "Sinners"—whom he could trust and rely on.

Upon assuming command of Sin Squadron, Antiel found that a group of pilots had gone away without leave—earning pilot salaries and benefits without reporting for duty. Because of a culture of giving pilots the benefit of the doubt, previous commanders had largely looked the other way regarding AWOL pilots. However, Antiel believe that this culture was hindering the productivity of his pilots. Rather than protecting them, he found that this behavior made active pilots feel overlooked and underappreciated. For the duration of his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel regularly shipped pilots to the M/FRG [[Phoenix|Phoenix]] if they failed to meet monthly expectations.

Antiel determined that a "rebrand" would help Sin return to its former glory. In the first two months of his command, Antiel designed a new squadron patch with the colors of his alma mater, the maroon and gold of Cruthers. He charged his flight leaders with determining new flight nicknames and mottoes. Antiel christened Flight I "Hell’s Own" and chose the motto "We are as good as they say." Flight II leader [[Rando]] chose "Hell’s Wrath" and the motto "Reinforcements have arrived." [[Earnim Branet|Major Earnim Branet]] designated Flight III "Winged Hell" and coined the motto "Not even hell stops us."

During his tenure as Sin Commander, Antiel began to feel comfortable in the cockpit again. He began taking regular missions and frequently challenged the Corps' top pilots on the Kill Board and began earning notice as a skilled, active pilot. He ended 25 ABY as the third-most active pilot behind stalwarts [[Pete Mitchell|Vice Admiral Pete Mitchell]] and General Anahorn Dempsey and entered 26 ABY as one of the most active pilots of the TIE Corps. He developed strong relationships not only with his pilots, but also with the Warrior's Commodores: first Mitchell and then Plif.

Under Antiel's commander, Sin began the steady return to legitimacy. In the next two Raise the Flag competitions, Sin improved to fifth and third place among TIE Corps squadrons, respectively. When SOO Mitchell was named as the next [[TIE Corps Commander]] and Warrior Commodore Admiral Plif was selected as the next [[Strategic Operations Officer]], Antiel felt friendly pressure to apply for the open position of Warrior Commodore.

===Warrior Commodore===
After a year in command of Sin Squadron, Antiel's star was rising. Plif's appointment to SOO left the Warrior without a Commodore, and Antiel felt confident that he was the right officer for the position. In 26 ABY, then [[Lieutenant Colonel (TIE Corps)|Lieutenant Colonel]] Antiel was placed in command of the Warrior and promoted to [[Rear Admiral (TIE Corps)|Rear Admiral]].

RA Antiel's first priority was to find new CMDRs for Sin and [[Theta Squadron|Theta]] Squadrons. Antiel named his top Flight Leader, [[Earnim Branet|Colonel Earnim Branet]] to lead Sin Squadron. [[Jarek La'an|General Jarek La'an]] volunteered for another tour of duty as Theta CMDR, having previously served in the role from 22-23 ABY. Antiel noted that he felt pressure to maintain the high performance of his predecessors. Former WarCOMs Pete Mitchell went on to become the next TCCOMs, and the Warrior had won every [[Raise the Flag]] since the ship was activated in 22 ABY.

<blockquote>''The ''Warrior'' belongs to her pilots. It's your ship, after all. We have a strong culture aboard the ''Warrior'', and I'm pleased with our trajectory. With that being said, there's always room for growth, and I want your voices to guide our next steps. My door is always open, and I hope you will reach out to me whenever you have ideas or concerns.''</blockquote>
<blockquote>—RA Hav Antiel's first ''Warrior'' report, 26 ABY</blockquote>

The Warrior continued to operate as the TIE Corps Flagship during Antiel's first year as Commodore. Antiel took a conservative approach, maintaining the ship-wide competitions and practices of his immediate predecessor, Plif. However, Antiel felt increasingly isolated in the position. As a squadron commander, Antiel interacted with his pilots daily and took missions on a regular basis. As an admiral, Antiel missed those direct connections. He also itched to fly missions. It wasn't strictly forbidden for Commodores to fly fighters, but Antiel missed the briefings, the scheduled flights, and the ready-room atmosphere of squadron life. He didn't feel the same thrill booking a flight crew for his TIE Advanced x1, Pink Bantha IV, and his flight activity dropped to 25% of his previous levels.

As the next [[Raise the Flag 2019|Raise the Flag]] competition approached, Antiel leaned on the Warrior's traditional approach, confident that the ship would retain its undefeated streak. In the [[Raise the Flag 2018|previous year's competition]], the Warrior had more than doubled the score of the Hammer. However, Antiel and the pilots of the Warrior were in for a rude awakening. The Hammer, led by veterans from Epsilon Squadron, formed a plan to take the lead early. They stormed the scoreboard with their combined efforts and demoralized the Warrior and her Commodore.

When the contest was over, the Hammer was the new TIE Corps Flagship. Antiel had become the first ''Warrior'' Commodore to lose Raise the Flag.

Defeat in RtF coupled with Antiel's lingering feelings of isolation. He dreamt of returning to Sin Squadron as its Commander and earning promotion to General. He longed for regular missions and briefings in the ready room. His career trajectory was pointed at the [[TIE Corps Command Staff]], and a logical next step would be to apply for [[Combat Operations Officer]] or [[Strategic Operations Officer]]. Antiel knew those positions meant more logistics and desk responsibilities and less time to connect with pilots and fly his personal fighter. Sinking into a professional slump, Antiel started to slack on his duties, failing to issue reports and falling behind on his duties for the first time in his career.

===Rho Squadron===
After nearly two years in command of the ''Warrior,'' Antiel learned that FA Plif, now the TIE Corps Commander, planned to reactivate a fourth squadron on the ship. Antiel felt he was at a crossroads between trying to move upwards and become a member of the TIE Corps Command Staff or return to a familiar role as commander of a new squadron. The pilot in him missed the regular missions and camaraderie with his peers. Antiel enjoyed being an Admiral and believed he had done well to lead the ''Warrior,'' but the attraction of a new squadron proved to be more compelling.

Plif met with Antiel to discuss the details of the new squadron. Antiel would have choice of name from the list of inactive Wing II squadrons (Psi, Rho, or Sigma at the time). He would also have some say in the squadron's objective and fighter complement. As Commodore, Antiel had learned the strengths and weaknesses of the ''Warrior'''s squadron assignments. Sin Squadron was useful for sending out ahead of the ''Warrior'' (or without it completely) for deep space missions. Theta Squadron's pacification objective meant its targets were largely terrestrial, and Kappa Squadron was typically busy on escort duty. This combination often left the ''Warrior'' exposed without a fighter defense.

With Plif's guidance, Antiel reforged Rho as a strike squadron of twelve TIE Interceptors with the mission to defend the ''Warrior'' from any and all threats, doing so without the safety net and resulting carelessness that shields can foment. While announcing the reactivated squadron, Plif commented, "It's a bold choice, one that will demand the sharpest skills and constant vigilance."

To christen the reopened squadron, Antiel designed a new squadron patch in the classic Imperial colors of black and gray. At its center is a TIE Intercetor ready to strike.

===Emperor's Hammer Command Staff===
In 28 ABY, inspired by his interest in history and its preservation, Hav applied to serve the Logistics Office. [[Rapier|Grand Admiral Rapier]] and the Logistics Officer, [[Mark Schueler|Fleet Admiral Mark Schueler]], accepted Hav's application and named him Command Attaché to the LO. The appointment rank for Command Attaché is Rear Admiral, but Hav was lucky to retain his recent Admiral promotion. In his duties, Hav shared time on the Warrior and Colossus

In his first year as CA:LO, Hav focused on the Encyclopaedia Imperia, specifically its title conventions and style. He rid the archive of broken and double redirects and started to address the long list of dead-end, orphaned, and wanted pages. During that first year, the LO's office moved from the Sovereign-class Super Star Destroyer [[Sovereign|Sovereign]] to the Executor-class Star Dreadnaught [[Avenger (ship)|Avenger]] before finally settling on the Colossus.

===TIE Helmet===

{| class="wikitable"
| [[File:HavAntielHelmet.png|300px]]
| '''Notched Cogs'''
As a child, Hav developed a keen interest in pilots' helmets. He was fascinated by the wild custom paintjobs on rebel helmets and the unique, almost undetectable touches on Imperial helmets. He memorized the designs of his favorite pilots and sketched ideas for his own helmet designs well into his adulthood.

When Hav earned his commission to full lieutenant in the TIE Corps, Princess Mair presented him with an ornate, metallic purple and gold custom TIE pilot helmet adorned with the the crest from his personal coat of arms. Breaking protocol, Hav refused the gift. He wished to avoid undue attention and hoped to hide his royal heritage as much as possible in the TIE Corps. Plus he had longed to design his own helmet, one that more closely resembled the TIE pilots' "buckets" he had seen up close on Corulag. Hav could't picture "Mauler" Mithel donning Mair's purple and gold monstrosity.

In designing his helmet, Hav borrowed elements from three pilots who flew with Lord Vader's Black Squadron at the Battle of Yavin: the eclipsed Imperial Cog from DS-61-4 ("Dark Curse"); the labeled brow from DS-61-3 ("Backstabber); and the black inlet cowl from DS-61-2 ("Mauler" Mithel). Hav added traditional "widow's tears" after his 10th confirmed kill in 23 ABY to mark his status as an ace pilot. Despite borrowing from those legendary pilots' designs, Hav aimed to make his helmet unique. He labeled the brow of his helmet "Antiel" in Aurabesh and included the eclipsed cog on both sides of the helmet. In 25 ABY, Antiel added the unique durasteel-colored outline stripes on the "mohawk" area of his helmet.

Over the years, Hav has made small changes to the helmet while keeping a uniform and familiar style. Since 28 ABY, the notched Imperial Cogs, widow's tears, and mohawk stripes have been a uniform durasteel gray. Although it is TIE Corps tradition to include the pilot's squadron patch on the cheek or chin of the helmet, Hav prefers to keep his helmet free from squadron markings. Hav notes that the great pilots in history used the same or similar designs while they flew for different squadrons and hopes to tie the helmet design to himself rather than a squadron.

Hav is finicky about his helmet's fit an finish, and he goes through multiple helmets per year. Although the Emperor's Hammer provides standard equipment to TIE Corps pilots, Hav personally pays for his helmets from his favorite supplier. Hav likes to collect other pilots' helmets, usually through helmet exchanges where Hav symbolically trades helmets with another pilot. His helmet collection, including battle-used and replica helmets, is rumored to number into the hundreds.

==Royal titles, styles, honors, and arms==

===Title and styles===
Hav's full title is ''His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun'', but he is familiarly known as Hav Antiel. Although his recorded name is simply "Hav," he uses his paternal grandfather's Corellian surname "Antiel" in service to the Emperor's Hammer. Hav's mother and older sister have used the geographical suffix "Sosuuna" in lieu of a surname in the past, but Hav has grown fond of "Antiel" and even has it painted on the brow of his TIE helmet.

Hav has continued to use Antiel as his surname beyond military purposes and is known as Hav Antiel in multiple contexts. Traditionally, male heirs of the reigning monarch receive a dukedom immediately prior to marriage, the most recent being his grandfather, King Van II, who received the dukedom of Sosuuna.

As of 28 ABY, Hav remains the only adult heir of Van II who has not received an formal honorific.

===Honors===
Upon his commission to the TIE Corps, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary. Commodore-in-Chief is a strictly ceremonial title that was created when Imperial control of Dosuun began in 5 ABY. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Seelona. Robus, who served as a cadet in the Imperial Navy prior to the Galactic Civil War, completed his attachment to the 533rd Imperial Reconnaissance Group and later took up a staff officer role with said unit until the fall of Emperor Palpatine.

Although the title is ceremonial, Hav continues to fulfill the duties of the office, including presiding over the annual fleet week festivities in Sosunna.

===Arms===

! Arms of His Royal Highness Prince Hav of Dosuun
|-
| '''Crest:''' Crests arms in the House of Sosuuna typically include multiple symbolic charges or beasts that represent the wearer's lineage or history, often depicted in brilliant gold. Hav eschewed tradition and requested a circle surrounded by eight trapezoids framing a view of Dosuun from space, framed in simple durasteel. The combination of the central circular frame and eight surrounding trapezoids resemble both the view from the cockpit of a TIE/ln starfighter and the resonator panels of a vintage Terrestrial brand quetarra.
|-
| '''Bed:''' According to tradition, the crest rests on a ribbed pillow. The purple hue signifies royalty while the ribbed texture represents a non-married male.
|-
| '''Ruffle:''' The plain, non-gilded ruffle represents Hav's pursuit of civic duty and the fact that he has not yet been granted a dukedom.
|-
|'''Current Location:''' The current location of Hav's arms is unknown but presumed to be safely stored in Meer Castle.
