Priedd Droen

(Work In Progress)

Priedd Droen was a Military officer for both the Republic Navy and the Imperial Navy, and would later go on to serve the Imperial Remnant, and participate as an Imperial overseer in the Reborn initiative intended to provide the Empire with a source of force wielding acolytes. He would later be killed aboard the Prestige following his refusal to surrender to New Republic forces, martyring himself and the vessels crew to allow Imperial forces time to withdraw.

History
Born to a relatively well-off household on Anaxes in 51 BBY, Priedd Droen was one of his families first members to enter Military service for the Judicial Forces, training to operate the widely used Consular-class Cruiser as a Midshipman for the vessel. initially trained and finally entering service in 26 BBY, Droen proved capable of enduring months deployed to hunt Pirate forces who were leaching off Trade Federation, Banking clan and Techno Union freighters, earning a moderate reputation for fierce and aggressive tactics that would route Pirates quickly, and decisively. This use of bold and often risky tactics paid off, though in one conflict that nearly ended his service; his Consular class cruiser was severely damaged by fire from a Gozanti-class cruiser, which severely burned the lower portion of his body, and left minor scarring on his face; though the mental effects of the injury gave the young officer pause and even time to consider departing the Navy, believing his tactics to be of poor effectiveness. By 24 BBY, the Galaxy was at a turning point, with the Confederacy of Independent Systems arising to challenge the Republics dominance as the sole Democracy in the Galaxy, though whether the Confederacy of Independent systems even was a Democracy was something of hot debate and speculation.
