Tuba

Early Life

Pel Morba was born on Eriadu, capital of Seswenna Sector and home of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. While still a child, Pel showed great aptitude for flying. He received admission to the prestigious Academy of Carida, graduating shortly before the Battle of Endor. Pel learned of a mission to set up an Imperial bastion near the Minos Cluster and volunteered to scout for the Emperor's Hammer Task Force.

First Tour of Duty

Adopting the callsign "Tuba" Pel became a TIE Corps pilot for Delta Squadron, tasked with reconnaissance aboard SSSD Sovereign. Rising through the ranks, he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and appointed Flight Leader of Delta's second flight, achieving the designation Delta 2-1. Tuba remained in that position for one year, then transferred to the EH Reserves aboard the Modified Frigate Phoenix.

During that time, Tuba also joined the Dark Brotherhood, rising to the rank of Guardian. Little is known of his activities while a member of the secretive Dark Jedi organization.

Retirement

No reasons were given at the time of his retirement from active duty, but it is now known that Pel left the service to marry botanist Valna Celena. The couple settled in a quiet suburb of New Imperial City where Rhial continued her botany research while Tuba earned his living as a flying instructor. Three years later their first daughter, Tessa, was born. A second daughter, Jiloy, followed two years after, and the family settled into a happy, quiet life.

The Morba family's idyllic existence was shattered the morning of the Aurora Prime attack. Pel taught a class on meteorology while Valna and the girls were in the family airspeeder headed for New Imperial City when turbolaser fire rained from orbit. The civil airfield Pel utilized was remote enough to fall outside the bombardment zone, but his family was not so lucky. Pel's long-dormant Force senses abruptly woke. Through them he felt his family's terror as their airspeeder plummeted amid the hail of verdant fire, followed by their death when they impacted the ground.

Pel's rage, previously quenched by his love and devotion to his family, erupted in a primal scream. The next hours are still missing from his memory, but the reborn Sith found himself many kilometers from the airfield, kneeling at the site of his family's demise, surrounded by their corpses and flaming debris. At that moment, his purpose crystallized: Revenge.

Second Tour of Duty

In the wake of the Aurora Massacre, Pel rejoined the Emperor's Hammer as a flight member in Delta Squadron under the command of then-Colonel Gilad Pelleaeon. Flying and training as though possessed, he took the training curricula by storm, graduating from 11 IWATS courses in the first month.

Desperate to avenge his family's murder on any front, Pel enlisted in the Hammer's Fist before that organization's decommissioning, and rejoined the Dark Brotherhood. Though an Apprentice, Pel advanced through the ranks quickly, becoming a charter member of House Drakonen and the first commander of the resurrected Stingray Squadron.

Not content to fight the enemy on his own, Pel became a professor at the prestigious Imperial Weapons And Tactics School, teaching courses on Small Arms and Starfighter Weaponry.
