Hwurzahk

Hwurzahk was a Massassi warrior of the Golden Empire.

Born on Keliso in 104 ABY, Hwurzahk was trained as a warrior and soldier by his Massassi family and community. He formally enrolled in the 9th Massassi Cohort at the age of fifteen in 119 ABY. He saw action at the First Battle of Shel Du, then went on to serve during the Conquest of the Chiss Ascendancy. By now an officer, Hwurzahk helped to lead the 9th during the Ssi-ruuvi Invursion and the end of the Vagaari War.

As a Major, Hwurzahk was transferred to the 14th Massassi Cohort in 144 ABY. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel some time before the Nightmare War, and by the time of the Battle of Dolomir he was the Cohort's second-in-command. During the Battle of the Sith Star, the 14th's commander was killed, and Hwurzahk assumed command. He successfully kept his soldiers focused and organized and, with the aid of the Order of Keltrayu, successfully captured or killed all the attackers on the flagship.

One week after the battle, Prime Legate Sorrik promoted Hwurzahk to full Colonel and gave him permanent command of the 14th.
