Hav Antiel

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

After an education in the Core Worlds and a sabbatical year touring Wild Space, Hav chose a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus in the Phare System. He was commissioned as a TIE pilot into the TIE Corps' Epsilon Squadron, serving as a flight member and flight leader before briefly leading Epsilon as squadron commander in 24 ABY.

Upon his commission, Hav received the title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary, an honorary title inherited from his father who served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. Hav adopted his paternal grandfather's surname Antiel as a sub-lieutenant aboard the Daedalus.

Biography

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 Seelona 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 Seelona in 10 BBY.

Early Life

Hav was born on the royal yacht Aledama on the 7th month of 8 BBY as the second child of Mair and Robus of Selona. He was christened with the royal name Hav on return to Meer Castle by his grandfather, Van II. His symbolic regents at the time of his birth were his paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, his sister Morii, Dutchess of Seelona, his paternal uncle Garm (a former Imperial pilot), Lady Lynadim (his maternal cousin), and sector admiral Grek DeGrond.

Like their royal precedessors, Hav's parents eschewed the Core World tradition of excessively-long royal names, settling on the monosyllabic "Hav" that would be their son's name both inside and outside of Meer Castle. Because he has not been granted a dukedom (a title traditionally bestowed shortly before male heirs are married), Hav retains the broad title Prince of Dosuun.

Hav's paternal grandfather, Rebus of Seelona, wanted his grandchildren to have a broad range of experiences before settling into the relative monotony of royal life. Hav's Uncle Garm played an important role in this regard, encouraging Hav to study art, music, sport, and flying, frequently inviting young Hav to join him on his flying exploits. Hav frequently joined his parents on tours of the Core Worlds, and he eventually developed an interest in exploring Wild Space. As Hav approached adulthood, he found it difficult to choose between a future spent in space or on Dosuun.

Personal Life

In addition to his exploits in command of Sin Squadron, Hav is an accomplished artist, musician, and sportsman. He designed and created Sin's squadron patches, and he has painted TIE pilot helmets for a number of his TIE Corps colleagues. During his sabbatical in Wild Space, Hav played quetarra, quintolium, and hallikset in the b'ssa nuuvu band The Pink Banthas, a name that Hav later used for his personal ships in the TIE Corps.

Military Career

After his sabbatical tour of Wild Space, Hav chose a military career, undergoing officer training with the Emperor's Hammer on the Modified Platform Daedalus. While onboard the Daedalus, 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 uncle 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 and Missile Boat in particular) relied more on technical superiority and less on pilot skill.

Epsilon Squadron

Upon earning his flight certification, Hav was assigned to Epsilon Squadron aboard the Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer [[Hammer|Hammer]]. Under the command of CMDR Dunta Polo and flight leader Jarion Renalds, Hav began taking missions in a Missile Boat Mk.II designated Epsilon 3-2. Hav earned a promotion to full lieutenant in his first month of service by winning a contest to design the squadron patch for the newly-reactivated Sin Squadron. Within a month, Hav had earned his first merit award, an Imperial Security Medal for completing 14 missions.

A voracious student, Hav took the opportunity to further his training and certifications through the Imperial Weapons and Tactics School, earning his first Iron Stars for leading Epsilon in number of missions and courses completed. He quickly earned the Commendation of Bravery for completing 30 missions, and he was soon challenging Hammer veterans at the top of the Kill Board.

After a promotion to lieutenant commander, Hav was assigned as the lead for Epsilon's third flight. To celebrate, Hav christened his Missile Boat the "Pink Bantha" after his former music group. However, the celebration would be short-lived: during an escort mission, Hav crashed into debris, damaging his ship and causing severe injuries to his upper body. The young pilot was rescues by a shuttle from Tweezers squadron. The injury grounded Hav for ten months and caused lingering trauma that left Hav less eager to take missions.

To make himself useful as he healed, Hav sought more leadership within the squadron, and Polo assigned Hav as the lead of Flight III.

Sin Squadron

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 sister 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 commission to the TIE Corps, Hav received the honorary title Commodore-in-Chief of the Dosuun Planetary Naval Auxiliary. King Van II first bestowed the title upon Hav's father, Robus of Selola, 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.
