Biography

Varik Kassel was born on the planet of Dantooine during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Despite coming from simple farming stock, Varik and his young brother Joran were raised by their parents to be ardent Imperalists, and Varik dreamed of joining the Imperial Navy from an early age. Soon after the fall of Emperor Palpatine however, when the planet Dantoonine came under the authority of the New Republic, Varik’s parents fell victim to an angry mob of local villagers who attacked the Kassel homestead as an act of reprisal for the families open support of the Empire. After witnessing the brutal killings of his father and mother at the hands of the mob, the two brothers who had been working in nearby fields, barely escaped with their lives. Varik and Joran made their way back into Imperial space, and by working passage on a number of freighters, finally reached the Aurora System, where Varik enlisted in the TIE Corps.

It is known that Varik's first cousin is the noted Republic X-Wing Pilot, Mia StormChaser who is currently serving with the Rebel Squadrons.
