Vaner Van'an is an officer in the Emperor's Hammer holding the rank of [Major]. He serves as the Squadron Commander of Theta Squadron aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer Warrior and Combat Operations Officer Assistant (COOA).
Early Life
Childhood
Vaner was born on Balosar in 2 ABY. As a young boy, his parents were both caught up in the Balo mushroom trade, leaving him with a lonely childhood, but also allowing him the freedom to explore his city and planet on his terms. This encouraged his free spirit, rebelliousness, and a bit of the legendary Balosar selfishness. Eventually his parents were both caught by the New Republic for dealing death sticks, leaving him alone on the planet at the age of 13.
Early Adulthood
After both his parents were imprisoned, he became involved in the same thing that had separated him from his parents: the balo mushroom trade. He began harvesting, eventually worked up to planetary transportation and to his dream job-Inter Planetary Transportation. He got to pilot a starship loaded with product throughout the galaxy. Until 25 ABY, Vaner was an elusive mushroom transporter, known for his knack at being able to get in and out of the mission target without being spotted.
Near the end of the year, Vaner was arrested by the New Republic for selling balo mushrooms and sentenced to 5 years. His jailtime helped him to avoid most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Finding out about the battles he missed gave him a bit of relief, but also inspired a desire to find out about combat and the experiences he heard about from some of his fellow prisoners. His cellmate was a member of an Imperial offshoot called the Emperor's Hammer and that a pilot of his caliber would fit in with the TIE Corps. In 30 ABY, upon his release, Vaner fell back into some of his old ways and contacts. After a close call with the Republic which could have lead to more jailtime, he decided to seek out the group his old cellmate told him about. If not simply to get back at the government that had imprisoned him (wrongfully in his opinion).
TIE Corps
Early Career
After pirating his way through the galaxy, Vaner found his way to the Imperial Remnant, the Emperor's Hammer(EH). He began his service to the EH in the TIE Corps aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer Warrior in Rho Squadron piloting a TIE Interceptor. Moving through the ranks, he served as Flight 3 Lead, Flight 2 Lead, and Squadron XO (SQXO) before earning commandership of Theta Squadron in May of 2022 under Battlegroup II Commander, Vice Admiral Marenta. Later, in September of the same year he was appointed by Miles Prower as a COOA. He is currently serving in both roles.
