History

 Early Life 

Sylas Pitt was born on Brolsam 6 ABY, the child of two retired Imperial Officers. His father, Baern Pitt, was a Stormtrooper General. His mother, Rika Pitt, was an Imperial Navy Officer. Baern and Rika owned a small farm in an obscure village, where they had hoped to raise their son, away from the conflict that shook the galaxy. As hostility towards the Empire grew, Baern sold their farm and moved to a different village, on the far side of the planet, to begin anew. Resentment towards any Imperials, current or retired, was becoming a very real danger. With the signs of danger in every direction, Baern and Rika began to save what credits they could to leave Brolsam.
In 8 ABY, Brolsam was siezed by New Republic forces, causing an uproar around the planet. New Republic supporters began rounding up and imprisioning Imperial Officials and sympathizers. Baern Pitt was one of the many Imperial casualties, giving his life so that his wife and son could survive and escape. 

LCM Sylas Pitt

After their narrow escape, Rika and Sylas Pitt stowed away in smuggling ships, carefully making their way to Coruscant, the very heart of the New Republic. Here they hid in plain sight, deep within the lower bowels of the city, creating a modest life. Rika set up a small convenience store, where Sylas spent most of his days, making deliveries and helping with the general finances of the store.

Early Adulthood

In 28 ABY, at the age of 22, Sylas ventured out of Coruscant, usually as a stowaway on New Republic ships. As the ships docked in different systems, Sylas was able to explore and interact with the locals nearby, gaining information as he went. During a stop on Corellia, he learned of a splinter group of Imperials who called themselves The Emperor's Hammer. Asking further, he discovered their headquarters, Aurora Prime.

Knowing that the New Republic ships wouldn't carry him that far, he remained on Corellia for a few months, working and earning enough credits to pay for private transport. He slept outdoors and worked every single day to save as much as possible, sparing only a few credits to feed and sustain himself. Once he had enough credits, he was able to pay off a small trade ship for a direct flight to Aurora Prime.

In 29 ABY, at the age of 23, Sylas enlisted with the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps, where he currently holds a position as a Flight Member in Firebird Squadron, Flight Two, designated "Backbiter".

Joining The TIE Corps

---

After completing his training at IWATS, he was assigned to Firebird Squadron, where he has remained since.

With his training complete and his position within the ranks of the TIE Corps, Sylas has dedicated most of his spare time studying the vast history of the galaxy as a whole. From the roots of The Mandalorians to the most recent events. Sylas has held an unhealthy fascination with understanding historical events, learning where mistakes were made, and where strategies could be improved.
