Biography
Varik Kassal 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 Kassal 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 in 19 ABY.
Varik has been both hardened and unbalanced by the seeing the brutal deaths of his parents. He is consumed by hatred for rebel scum and shows no mercy to them. His obsession with revenge makes him a distant and at times, difficult person. He is prone to bouts of depression or manic periods of activity.
Varik was chosen to be part of an extended (and highly classified) mission to the Unknown Regions (21 ABY - 30 ABY) from which he has recently returned from.
Since his return from the Unknown Regions, Varik has recently developed an interest in droid programming and repair. He found in storage a battered and nonfunctional ASP-7 droid. In his few spare moments he is currently repairing and modifying this droid.
He currently serves with Gamma Squadron.
