Aurelius Tempest

General Aurelius Tempest (born 52 BBY, reborn 48 ABY on Ralltiir) was one of the fierciest Imperials of the first and second Galactic Empires. However, Tempest was also a flirt when it came to the opposite gender. He was known to have relations with another young Imperial, Y'ulea Zanowa, but scoffed at any attempts to slander him in scandal. Ballsy, he faced Darth Vader on the eve of the Destruction of Alderaan, and nearly died at his hands.

Escaping the Death Star upon hearing of the threat presented against it during the Battle of Yavin, Tempest flew out on a transport with a squad of stormtroopers and headed for the Kashyyyk system, where a Rebel fleet was amassing in an attempt to free the Wookiees. Tempest upon hearing of the Death Star's destruction flew to a passing Star Destroyer and commandeered it by order of the Empire under chaotic ruin. He directed it towards the fleet and a space battle ensued. In the end, the victors were the Imperials; first payback was bittersweet.

Three years later, Tempest was given control of the AT-AT Blizzard 5 in the Battle of Hoth, where he successfully shot down four snowspeeders and took Echo Base by storm. Upon the victory at Hoth, Tempest was awarded a new AT-AT waiting for him in the construction yards on Coruscant. It was dubbed the Demonic and was put in service first on Aduba III, clearing up rogue units and preventing any uprisings.

Throughout the fall of the Empire, the rise and fall of the New Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong War, Tempest saw it fit to finally retire, but just before his induction into the Imperial Hall of Fame on Bastion in 48 ABY, Tempest's new family was kidnapped by Yoogish pirates, and killed. He ended up trying to kill himself to remove the pain, however it was a failed attempt, and what was still left of him was used to recreate a cybernetic composite of his former self.
