Jarahiya Haftiir

Jarahiya Haftiir was a Human male who served as a general in the Imperial Army of the Fel Empire, Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire, and later the Empire-in-exile. A native of Agamar, Haftiir was raised by agricultural specialists, but instead decided to join the military rather than continue in his parents' footsteps. He began as a rank and file grunt, managing to climb the ranks during the Sith-Imperial War, when the Fel Empire fought against the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. During that war, he rose to the rank of colonel. When the Second Imperial Civil War, Haftiir was recognized as one of the few tactically skilled officers fighting for the One Sith Order of Darth Krayt, as most of the other high ranking officers stayed loyal to Roan Fel. For this, he was promoted to general. During that conflict, he saw little action, being placed in command of the garrison forces of a backwater sector.

Near the end of the war, he defected the Empire-in-exile, which was renamed Fel Empire and was a protectorate of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. It was then led by Empress Marasiah Fel, the daughter of Roan Fel. However, the Empire became weak as it was essentially an autonomous province of the Triumvirate. Haftiir, a nationalist, became enraged over time, and in 139 ABY, successfully carried out a coup d'état against the monarchy on Bastion. Declaring himself the "Prince Regent" of the "New Bastion Empire", he went on to begin an internal conflict with the Empress for control of the empire. After a four year civil war, however, Haftiir's nationalists were exhausted and outnumbered, and Haftiir was trapped on Bastion. During the ensuing siege, the self-proclaimed Prince Regent was killed.
