| Brief History- |
| Almost nothing is known about Kasr�s life before he joined the Old Republic Navy, although it is confirmed that he was born on Coruscant. At the time when Palpatine finally took power, Kasr was a junior officer who had grown disgusted with the Senate. Palpatine�s promises of order and an end of corruption appealed to him and he was one of the first to offer his services to the senator. Palpatine immediately recognized Kasr�s potential and charged him with several missions to test the young officer�s skills in a variety of situations. Kasr proved more than able to meet the future Emperor�s expectations, who succeeded in his missions by applying a combination of technological prowess and ruthless efficiency. With such loyalty and impressive results, Kasr rose up quickly though the ranks. By the time the Empire came into power, Kasr had achieved the rank of Admiral. Aside from the need for a New Order, there was one other subject that Kasr and the Emperor agreed upon and that was for the extermination of the Jedi. Kasr felt that for any one person to have so much power went against the natural order of life. In other words, the Jedi were an abomination. Darth Vader was already actively hunting down the Jedi, but he was only one man, there needed to be more Jedi hunters. To that end, Kasr received his final promotion to Grand Admiral, the first ever to be given this rank, and was charged with the task of finding and destroying the remnants of the Jedi by any means necessary. Kasr ordered the construction of the Seldon, a state-of-the-art science vessel, and filled it with the greatest minds he could find. Their sole tasks were to discover weaknesses in the Jedi and how best to exploit them. Many prototypes were developed, only a few of which were deemed reliable enough for the Empire to use at large, but those few were devastatingly effective. Meanwhile, Kasr used his personal fleet to coordinate with Lord Vader�s efforts and comb the galaxy looking for the fleeing Jedi. It was on one such trip that Kasr discovered the massive planet of Oremin. By this time, Kasr had come to the realization that he had in fact been too successful killing Jedi. So much so that the Emperor had begun to regard him as a threat. Initial geological surveys of Oremin indicated that the planet had resources to spare. Kasr committed the coordinates to memory, erased it from his ship�s computer, and swore his crew to silence under penalty of death. At that point, Kasr deemed that Oremin would be his secret base of operations and started planning his own downfall and succession from the Empire. Through some clever manipulation and string-pulling of the more greedy Imperial higher-ups, Kasr managed to get himself court-martialed. The trial was a dangerous farce as the Emperor himself attended and dictated Kasr�s final punishment. He was sentenced to life imprisonment at a faraway Corporate Sector Authority prison known as Jorzan. However, according to official Imperial reports, his transport was intercepted by Rebels and destroyed. It was a deception on the Emperor�s part. Kasr was dangerous, but he was deemed too valuable to destroy - exactly what Kasr had been planning on. The transport actually made it safely to Jorzan, effectively insuring that Kasr could be imprisoned without anyone the wiser. All traces of Kasr and his research were erased and destroyed and his Jedi hunting devices were buried as well to prevent someone else from using them against the Emperor. All of this was before the Battle of Yavin. The Seldon, as per Kasr�s orders, fled to Oremin to help oversee the new facility that would be built there with stolen blueprints taken from the Imperial database. Kasr, from the CSA prison, used the influence and connections he still had left in the Empire to secretly send resources and manpower to Oremin. Convoys and starships that were reported �lost in hyperspace� or �destroyed by Rebels� were in fact many times sent to Oremin through Kasr�s hidden connections. A few years after the fall of the Empire and the deaths of both the Emperor and Darth Vader at the Battle of Endor, Kasr deemed that it was finally time for him to assume full control of the Oremin project, which had become fully self-sufficient. He contacted Captain Dolomar Daktren of the ISD Dark Star and had him �bust him out� of the CSA prison. Like his trial a decade earlier, it was merely a clever ruse, as Kasr had unofficially been in control of the prison for years. All he needed Daktren for was to destroy the two VSD�s guarding the prison, which the captain accomplished with his usual skill. After the VSD�s were destroyed, Kasr launched a small shuttle and had the prison self-destruct, erasing any last records of himself from the galaxy. Kasr was finally returned to Oremin where he watched with disgust as the Empire continued to tear itself apart. He made it Oremin�s goal to preserve the ideals of the New Order should the Empire ever be wiped out. To that end he secretly contacted other loyal Imperials like Daktren who wanted to see the Empire returned to it�s full glory without the corruption that plagued the current Empire. He used them to secretly keep tabs on the Empire and its ever-changing state. Occasionally he would have them run missions to help better Oremin, but only rarely. Most recently, he has taken on a young girl, Jesika Doljian, as his heiress to assume command of Oremin when he decides to retire. At seventy-three, Kasr is in better shape then men twice as young as him, but he is quite aware that there is no stopping his eventual death. His own beliefs prevent him from trying to cheat death through cloning, or other means, and so he is devoting a lot of his time to training Jesika to be a powerful and effective leader. As someone who thoroughly despises the Jedi and anyone one else who utilizes the Force, Kasr has invested a lot of time and energy in finding ways for a person without the Force to effectively combat those who do. He has developed a deadly form of martial arts, it is known to those he has taught it to as Rask. Rask makes use of the body�s natural adrenaline and uses it to increase the speed and strength of one�s own body so that they may surpass conventional physical limitations. He has also, through years of meditation, mastered a mental discipline that allows one to have absolute control of their own mind. This discipline, as Kasr often puts it, allows you to decide what you will think instead of having thoughts pop up randomly in your head. It has effectively proven to counteract Jedi mind tricks as well as thwart mind reading. All of Oremin�s top operatives are trained in the use of Kasr�s mental discipline and Rask. Most of Oremin�s soldiers have also been trained in Rask, but only a few have chosen to master the mental discipline. Kasr never uses his Imperial title anymore, content to merely be addressed as �Kasr�. He feels his rank is from a bygone era and refuses to use it again regularly until the Empire is restored to its former glory. It�s also a rule that any mention of him in messages will refer to him as �GARK� instead of Kasr. He sees no need to let anyone outside of the Oremin project know that he is alive should a transmission become intercepted. The word, �GARK�, is actually an acronym created by combining his former rank and name together: Grand Admiral Reneg Kasr. Only his most trusted people know the true meaning of the word. In order to effectively oversee Jesika�s training as well as his interests in the Laro system, Kasr has assumed a position as an �advisor� to his prot�g�, who was recently proclaimed Queen of the Laro Order thanks to his machinations. As Oremin's founder and driving force, whatever he says is law. |
