Maximilian Seerdon

Maximilian Seerdon was a male Human who became a marshal in the Imperial Army, and was the son of Grand Moff Seerdon. Born on Chandrila, Seerdon was able to gain entrance into the Raithal Academy with his father's assistance. There, he quickly proved his abilities as an officer to the instructors, and was known as an excellent tactician and strategist. Graduating as a lieutenant in 5 BBY, he fought first against pirates in the Outer Rim Territories, performing well. A couple of years later, Lieutenant Seerdon took part in the Galactic Civil War, during which he proved his worth as a commander when becoming recognized by Army Command as one of the Empire's best defensive tacticians. Seerdon was promoted to captain in 1 ABY, and became a major in 3 ABY, after defending a facility from the rogue Grand Admiral Zaarin.

Despite his successes, Seerdon did not make it into Tempest Force, the elite unit that defended the shield bunker on Endor in 4 ABY. When Emperor Palpatine died during the failed trap, much of the Empire fractured amongst warlords. During this time, Seerdon remained staunchly loyal to Imperial Center, and took part in several campaigns against various warlords. For this, he was promoted to the rank of colonel. In 6 ABY, Seerdon took part in the defense of Coruscant from the New Republic. This failed, and he was taken prisoner by the Republic. However, before Seerdon could be tried by the Republic, Imperial Intelligence agents, under orders from their director, broke him out of prison, and got him to Ysanne Isard's new headquarters on Thyferra.
