Biography
Born on Commenor at the height of Supreme Chancellor Signet Mezzileen's regime, Deron was fiercely loyal to the Republic and the Supreme Chancellor. He went on to study at the Republic Military Academy and rose through the ranks until he became Colonel and was assigned to Admiral Seph Kandis's fleet. Following the disastrous Battle of Kuat, Kandis's fleet was ordered by the new acting Chancellor Harza Klim to hold back the forces of the Jedi Coalition so they didn't reach Coruscant. Kandis took her fleet to the planet Xorth in an attempt to stop them, while Deron prepared three ships armed with EMP warheads which he hoped could disable the Coalition fleet and bring victory for the Republic.

As both sides clashed with each other, with the Republic fleet pushing the Coalition back, Deron revealed his plan to Kandis and got her permission to unleash the ships on the Coalition fleet. However when Coalition reinforcements arrived, making Republic victory impossible even with the EMP warheads, Kandis changed her mind and ordered the ships back. But Deron refused to accept defeat and pulled a blaster on his superior in an attempt to get her to change her mind. At this point Klim contacted the fleet and informed them that the war was over and that the Republic had surrendered. Deron's resolve faltered and he was persuaded by Kandis to lower his blaster and he was then placed under arrest, but was allowed to honourably retire after the Republic surrender had taken place.
