Sylas Pitt

NOEDITSECTION

 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. 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. 

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.

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 "Firebird 7".

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.
