Admiral Hocke (his given name is unknown) was a military man before the Clone Wars started. Then a brash, young fellow, he somehow managed to survive the Clone Wars, initially fighting with the Jedi, and later accepting the changes brought by Emperor Palpatine. He faithfully served in the Imperial Navy and after the death of Palpatine stayed on. Only an offer he couldn't refuse could bring him into another order...

Early Career
Admiral Hocke was born sometime around 40 BBY, making him roughly the same age as Anakin Skywalker (possibly a year younger). He had no Force sensitivity to speak of, although it's possible he had mild abilities, below the threshhold for being called into Jedi service. He was a minor officer during the Clone Wars and joined the Galactic Empire later.

Even after Emperor Palpatine died, he remained with the Empire, fighting against the New Republic. By this time he was one of the warlords and had a small sector of space to defend, which he did well, until Grand Admiral Thrawn pulled some of the remaining forces together. He served the Grand Admiral and then continued with what was left of the Imperial Remnant, never giving up hope.

Stellar Imperium
Empress Shira of the Stellar Imperium noticed him in or around 19 ABY and managed to capture his main ship. She threatened to kill him and the entire crew unless he defected and joined her. He did, and through slow indoctrination, as well as the continued defeats of the Remnant, he came to see her side. That she, Lady Lumiya, had also trained under Darth Vader was instrumental in swaying his opinion.

He was defeated in the Battle of Angwel in 29 ABY, in which Jaina Solo killed the Empress. Hocke took over as the ruler of the Stellar Imperium for a short time before signing a treaty with the New Republic and Imperial Remnant. This treaty would place Stellar Imperial worlds under the control of the Imperial Remnant, which was now in a separate peace with the New Republic.
