APPEARANCE:
To look upon the young man who is Aram Kalast is to understand why he is, what he is. From the tips of his brown rough, yet sophisticated hair on his head to the tips of his highly polished Imperial Officer boots he is one hundred and fifty percent a military ‘brat as they would say.
Standing at a little under six feet the strongly, yet somewhat lithe built human male isn’t the most imposing sight that people have seen upon the command decks of the Imperial Star Destroyers that have flown the Galaxy, but it is exactly this that makes him so dangerous. Young and athletic the twenty five year old is in peak health, his body showing it with well toned muscle and chiselled features, many have seen within him their son or their brother who is off somewhere in the galaxy while many others compare him with the most charming of rogues. It is a common thought that if he had not been plucked for the Imperial War Machine Aram would have probably ended up at some club somewhere smoothing over the ladies with his looks. His most defining feature many would argue are his eyes, the deep blue that settles within them is the only betrayal to his near human heritage, if it can be called such a thing. With the linage of Chiss blood that runs through his veins it is said that during times of great stress or emotional impulse Aram’s eyes glow a slight but eerie blue. Such claims are knocked as nonsense by senior officers and the general public, claiming it as just a trick of the light; but there is no doubting that at times his eyes glisten with an inner light that creates a rather soothing; or terrifying experience for those who witness it.
Usually clad in what the Imperials call the ‘Uniform’ Aram makes it look near fashionable, the crisp cut black cloth made to resemble that of the more elegant styling of the Chiss Ascendency rather than the normal Imperial officer garb. Upon his left shoulder lies a red pauldron the plait and braid that runs down and around his torso joined by another yellow one mid-stretch. While the effect is lost on most of those who see him, for those who remember the old days of Palpatine's Empire or have set foot upon the home system of the Chiss they will recognise it as the highest military honour available for a Naval soldier. It symbolises bravery, courage and initiative in the face of dire odds, a reward the young man was awarded shortly before his return to Imperial Space.
Refusing to wear the traditional cap of the Imperial Forces Aram breaks slight protocol, yet those who see him care not, for his battle prowess is more than capable of living up to his appearance. It has been noted on occasion that Aram has donned the white uniform of the Grand Admirals, this however was not an indication of rank and seen more as a tactical move made to dishearten the opponent.
BIOGRAPHY:
As a note Aram’s history starts during the Civil War between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, history will state how he became a present in the time-line of Chaos.
A CHILD OF REBELLION:
The child who would eventually become Aram Kalast began his life not as many believed upon a world of Imperial rule, but in fact within the tender hold of a fully pledged world of Rebellion.
Tiisheraan, a planet famed for its politician’s was the home to many an influential noble family, and even more loyal and brave supporters of the Rebel Alliance and eventually New Republic ways, examples of such families were the Tyrilus, a noble house that openly rebelled against the Imperial hold within an asteroid field outside of Tiisheraan’s system; the Burikels, a family of musicians and poets who inspired thousands of normal folk in the galaxy to see the ‘dark’ side of the Empire and the Juriiso House.
It was the Jurisso house where the fable of Aram’s early life began, and it was within this house that his true family ruled, in all their anti-empire glory.
Born Michael Jurisso to loving parents Alpaci Jurisso and Louisa Jurisso the young noble was raised amidst a world of political intrigue and constant whisperings of greater things, it is believed among those who know of Aram’s true beginnings that it was from an early age that his father, a Rebel Alliance General, began teaching the young Michael tactics and warfare in the hope that if he didn’t see the end of the Empire, his son would become the perfect replacement to do so.
Michael was sent to one of the best schools that the planet could offer sitting alongside other students who would become much more than your average Joe, such as Lifuri Delost, who as an eighteen year old would become the galaxy record holder for long shooting at the New Republic Military Academy, Hulst Elrigod; captain of the Concord Flight, the largest flotilla of civilian based craft in the galaxy and Daine Saria; once Chief or State of the New Republic.
The turning point to this Rebellion loving history?
Michael’s seeming murder along with his parents after their bodies were found shot up in their Tiisheraan apartment, the boy was declared dead at the age of eleven, his body buried with his parents in the Jurisso House cemetery.
A NEW HOPE…FOR THE OTHER SIDE.
The first record of a ‘Aram Kalast’ was among the entrant years of the Imperial Youth Program initiated, the eleven year old being registered as the orphaned child of Derik Kalast and Amint Deelea both Imperial heroes who had served loyally until their unfortunate deaths at the hands of rebel insurgents.
To all eyes it was nothing to be suspicious about, Aram’s history seemed legit and his talents were definitely in tune with that of Derik Kalast’s own military history. However deeper down things were corrupt, his files harboured blocks and his records found themselves marked by Intelligence seals. Anyone who looked too deeply found themselves with a knock from the Ubiqtorate.
His marks were exemplary and the indoctrination of the New Order saw Aram fully commit to its ways, enough so that when his sixteenth birthday came around he was graduated with perfect scores into the Imperial Academy on Cardia.
TOP 1%…NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Aram was quick to gain the attention of the more tactically minded within the ranks of the Imperial Academy, however he was never fully taken aboard by any of the various tutors of the arts, instead he found his role-model in the form of one Gus Hurven, the current drill master of the academy who saw in Kalast a glimmer of hope for what he was considering to be a lacking academic military.
He continued to drill Aram over and over again in all aspects of the Imperial Warmachine, a task that could see the young officer-in-training memorise nearly every facet he was taught, from ship sizes to the material within a Stormtroopers armour.
It was this that allowed many to not be surprised when Aram was gifted a place on the honour-roll of the academy, a reward offered to the top 1% of graduates.
However it was not to be his crowning moment, instead of being assigned to the higher ranks of the Imperial Military Aram was instead assigned as a second aboard a small Tarten cruiser on the command of someone higher up in the ranks, it was said to have been the biggest insult possible to both Aram and the Academy.
BLOODLINES ARE FOREVER
The real reason of Aram’s departure was in-fact a ruse in place to get him out to where he had always been intended to go. To continue the legacy of Admiral Derik Kalast.
For years Derik Kalast had been assigned to the Outer-Rim species of the Chiss, a race who had been secretive during the civil-war and held a grand naval background of their own.
Aram was to continue this relationship of native-research as well as alliance building between the Empire and the Chiss. A task he took to with great enthusiasm.
The young Aram was gifted the rank of Lieutenant within the Imperial Academy and became the youngest ever to hold the title at the mere age of nineteen, yet it meant nothing within the ranks of the Chiss who saw Aram as a hinderance on their own navy.
This would have caused a rift in his time their had it not been for a Chiss Syndic known to many only as Thuraman. Thuraman took Aram beneath him and took it upon himself to show the young man how a Chiss fought in space, both in a cruiser as well as a claw fighter.
SYNDIC OF CSILLA
Three years passed with Aram moving up the chain of Csilla hierarchy and his time on the outer-rim gave him the the resources to become a fantastic pilot and later commander aboard the CDF.
Several months of constant campaigning against the darker shadows of wild space saw Aram gifted something that had never once happened outside of the ranks of the Chiss, he was gifted the rank of Syndic, an honourable title given to only the very best within their number.
It was with this title that Aram started to become what his eventual legacy was known for. A tactical genius of fleet warfare.
RETURN TO IMPERIAL SPACE
Aram’s departure from Csilla came from a requested envoy dispatched by Imperial Intelligence from an unlisted facility on Bastion. A shuttle accompanied the request and Aram left Chiss space along with several of his Chiss officer’s that swore their lives to him.
What he learnt of the Imperial fate however disgusted him. The emperor had been killed, Thrawn had died at the hand’s of his own assassin and the Rebellion had become an active Republic calling Coruscant home.
The ranks of the Imperial’s were lead by upstarts and failed officers, a situation he had to fix.
IMPERIAL REVENGE
Aram took the war to the Republic and began what he dubbed as the war for the Sovereign Galactic Empire. He took territory and had shipyards built above Bakura, Bastion, Kuat and Yaga Minor to allow his war machine to keep up with the heavy losses the Empire received.
He saw to the removal of the current Supreme Commander, Kyle Dartsen by orchestrating a elaborate plot proving that the Admiral was no more than a New Republic spy who had worked his way into power.
This allowed Aram to take control of the Imperial Military and advance his plans forward by initiating ‘total war’ against his enemies.
EVEN GODS MUST DIE
The Empire began to fail, the New Republic pushing back hard at their advances which led to Aram becoming more and more frustrated with the restraints placed against him by the new leadership structure started by the recently elevated Empress, her powers seeing that his instructions became scattered and his forces more dedicated to her defence then the offence of his own schemes.
So Aram took to the seers of the Sith, who foresaw the Empire’s eventual defeat. They told him to depart the Empire, for he would be needed again, later when the Empire was reborn and they saw to it that he had the methods to do as such.
Aram was sealed in statis on the distant planet of Thearterra and placed under the guard of a small Chiss army with the instructions to release him when the signs come to them.
THE RETURN OF KALAST
The signs did not come for many, many years. In fact centuries passed and the small army of caretaker’s withered away to a small band of devoted who initiated only the most chosen to carry on their task.
Yet finally with the recent events of the Netherworld the statis was unlocked and Aram Kalast returned to the galaxy.
