Hav Antiel

Lieutenant Commander Hav Antiel is a TIE pilot assigned as a Flight Member of Epsilon Squadron as part of Wing I aboard Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer Hammer. At the time of his birth, he was third in line of succession to succeed his grandfather, King Van II, as King of Dosuun, but is currently sixth in line after his mother, Princess Mair, Dutchess of Sosuuna, his eldest sister Princess Morii, Dutchess of Selona, and Morii's three children.

After an education in the Core Worlds and spending a sabbatical year touring Wild Space, Hav chose a military career, undergoing officer training on the Imperial Outpost D-34 in the Greater Javin region. He was commissioned as a TIE pilot into the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps' Epsilon Squadron, serving as a flight member and flight leader before briefly leading Epsilon as squadron commander in 24 ABY.

Upon his birth, Hav received the title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Auxiliary Navy, an honorary title inherited from his father who served as a Naval cadet in the Galactic Civil War. Hav adopted his paternal grandfather's surname Antiel as a sub-lieutenant aboard the Outpost D-34.

Biography

Early Life

Hav Antiel was born on Gus Talon, a moon of Corellia. His father worked as a fabricator for the Corellian Engineering Corporation building YT- and YU-series freighters, and his mother worked in the cantina of the nearby Gus Talon Station. Both of his parents were immigrants to the system with little tying them to Corellian culture. Antiel considered the moon a flat, boring place, and he dreamed of becoming a smashball player for the Corellia Dreadnaughts.

When Antiel was just nine years old, rebel terrorists destroyed Gus Talon Station. The attack was a disaster for the local population, and it was hours before Antiel learned that his mother was safe. Hundreds were dead, including women and children, but the rebels twisted the account of the attack to blame the Empire for the station's destruction. Amid claims that the Empire had targeted Gus Talon Station for being a rebel stronghold, the small, lunar society found itself in shambles. In the ensuing turmoil, the Antiel family steadfastly supported the Empire. Their loyalty led to their ostracization on Gus Talon.

After the attack on Gus Talon Station, Antiel's father wanted to ship out to another Core world, but his meager earnings didn't allow for much freedom. With the little savings he could spare, the elder Antiel began putting credits away for a personal ship; an ancient YG-4210 freighter named the Nomad.

As Antiel grew older, his former friends took up arms against the Empire in the name of the "rebel cause." Meanwhile, the Antiel family suffered as pariahs on the fringe of society while they saved credits for a new life.</span.

For the young Antiel, it was a cruel existence living amidst the shifting alliances of the Corellian System. Corellia enforced martial law on Gus Talon with a brutal paramilitary, the Corellian Security Force. CorSec monitored the Antiels' every move. Years of political patronage and shadow dealings had turned Corellia into a crucible for sedition and anti-Imperial sentiments. Despite the protests of the dwindling loyalist population, the powerful Corellian Merchants' Guild prevented Imperial intervention and made life on Gus Talon unbearable for Imperial loyalists.

When the rebels began building a base on Corellia in 1 ABY, the CEC terminated the elder Antiel's contract. The family decided to run. Although the Nomad wasn’t fully paid off, Antiel's father stole the ship and ferried his family deep into the Outer Rim. Young Hav had never been so far from home. He tried to keep the hardships from frosting his perspective, and he hardened his resolve to someday join the effort to quash the rebel uprising.

The Antiel family lived aboard the Nomad for the next three years. The rebels continued to strike at the Empire, but good information was hard to find in the Outer Rim. To make ends meet, Antiel's father started smuggling for loyalist partners within the Outer Rim. He refused most of the work he was offered; trust was a rare commodity outside of the Core Worlds. For Hav, life was drastically different onboard the starship, and he spent most of those adolescent years in isolation.

Ancestry

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 Selona 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 Selona in 10 BBY.

Military Career

After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space, Hav chose a military career, undergoing officer training on the Imperial Outpost D-34 in the Greater Javin region. While onboard D-34, 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 father 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 in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

For young Hav, the next few years were thrilling, but the thrills came at a great cost. He gambled and partied, earned credits and then lost them, spent more time with strangers in cantinas than with his family on the Nomad. As he started to negotiate smuggling deals with his father, Hav began to lose his sense of principles. When his father declined an offer to move some droids for a Sullustan smuggler, Hav took the job in secret. The mission was trouble-free, and the young pilot pocketed a cool thousand credits.

As he took on more side jobs, it became harder for Hav to hide them from his family. When he turned 18, he was confronted by his father, who reminded his son of his duty to the Empire and of the cause of protecting the galaxy. Hav decided that he wanted to strike out on his own. His father wanted to stay and support him, but his mother had too much pride to suffer a disrespectful son. His father gave him all of the credits he had on hand and made Hav promise to stay in touch.

What followed was more of the same; continued debauchery and more careless smuggling. Hav teamed up with a crew of smugglers aboard the modified YT-2000 freighter Sithspit. They were neutral freelancers from all parts of the galaxy; Koota Jood, a female Duros; Lula Seca, a female Twi’lek; and the captain, a male Zabrak named Krun Rosk. A cadre of droids, including a gray amalgamation of protocol parts named “Threep,” completed the crew. For several years, Hav and the crew of the Sithspit continued an illegal smuggling campaign in the Outer Rim. Hav's relationship with Krun Rosk, testy from the beginning, began to sour when Rosk insisted on an increasing number of missions on the behalf of the rebels. After a mission that saw the Sithspit ambush and slaughter an Imperial convoy for a supply of E-11 blasters, Hav decided to hatch a mutiny against Rosk. Partnered by Lula Seca and Koota Jood, Hav planned to trap Rosk in the airlock at an Empire-friendly platform in the Imperial Outlands and deliver him into Imperial custory. However, the mutiny was a trap; Lula had informed Rosk, who pushed Hav into the airlock before the Sithspit had fully docked. Lula fought to keep Rosk from releasing the hatch, but the Zabrak was too powerful, and Hav was sent spinning into space.

To Hav's great fortune, a highly-attentive sentry on the platform witnessed the event unfold and was able to secure Hav by opening the platform's airlock in time. While Antiel recovered in the medical lab, he was visited by Imperial officers seeking details about the E-11 ambush. Antiel divulged information about the Sithspit and its crew in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Despite assurances from the officers, Antiel was leery and worried about his safety and security. Still reeling from the betrayal aboard the Sithspit and anxious to distance himself from the investigation, Antiel sought to enlist with the Imperial Navy.

TIE Helmet

Upon earning his commission to full lieutenant, Princess Mair presented Hav with a TIE pilot helmet adorned with the the crest from his personal coat of arms. Hav caused a small stir when he politely declined the gift, preferring to don a more inconspicuous "bucket." 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; the labeled brow from DS-61-3; and the black inlet cowl from DS-61-2. Hav added traditional "widow's tears" after his 10th confirmed kill in 22 ABY to mark his status as an ace pilot. The brow of the helmet is labeled "Antiel" in Aurabesh. In 24 ABY, Antiel added the durasteel-colored outline stripes on the "mohawk" area of his helmet.

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. He uses his paternal grandfather's Corellian surname "Antiel" almost exclusively. Although his mother and older sisters have used the geographical suffix "Sosuuna" in lieu of a surname in the past, Hav occasionally prefers to be known simply as "Antiel."

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 24 ABY, Hav remains the only adult heir of Van II who has not received a knighthood.

Honors

Upon his birth, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Auxiliary Navy. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Selona, upon his engagement to Princess Mair in 1 ABY. Robus, who served as a Naval cadet 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. Once the period of Imperial control of Dosuun began in 5 ABY, the role of Commodore-in-Chief became strictly ceremonial. However, Antiel 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: As the grandchild of the sovereign, Hav's crest displays a durasteel-framed circle surrounded by eight durasteel-framed trapezoids.
	Windows: The windows of the crest frame a stylized depiction of Dosuun as viewed from space. This signifies Hav's paternal legacy of naval service.
	Bed: The crest rests on a ribbed pillow in purple. The color signifies royalty while the texture represents direct male-line descent.
	Ruffle: The plain, non-gilded ruffle represents Hav's pursuit of civic duty.

On his 10th birthday, Hav was granted his own personal coat of arms. Although some elements of the arms are dictated by custom (such as the durasteel frames and purple ribbed pillow), Hav was able to request that certain elements reflect his personality. The combination of the central circle and eight surrounding trapezoids resemble the view from the cockpit of a TIE/ln starfighter per Hav's request. Traditionally, the pillow fringe for a direct descendant of the sovereign would feature a silver or gold gilded ruffle. However, Hav chose to eschew this appointment in lieu of the plain unadorned ruffle normally reserved for lower members of the nobility to reflect his dedication to civic duty.
