This is my work thread for what is to be my secondary character in the upcoming new timeline. As I don't yet know how the new TL will differ from the current one in terms of character creation, and of course I don't know its events or power structure, this character is subject to drastic change going forward.

SPECIES►
AGE►
There is an obscure body in what is now the SK system, SK-3, a sterile world on the fringes of the sector which archaeologists believe fell victim to intense orbital bombardment at some point in the distant past. The blasted, radiation-scarred surface of SK-3 holds nothing of value today, but long ago, it is believed to have been a verdant, prosperous world, one of many in the region.
SK-3 was united by a tyrant at some point in its history, who instituted far-reaching infrastructure projects - as evidenced by the rubble scattered across its surface - and apparently conducted a campaign of military conquest and colonization which forged a minor star empire encompassing a half-dozen nearby planets. This minor empire was known to have resisted the advance of the despot Xim, and was subsequently overrun.
Though every planet in this small empire was at least renamed and required to give enormous tribute after being conquered, SK-3 was chosen to be made an example of. The dictator of the planet, apparently defiant even in the face of a superior foe, put up a brave final defense against Xim's Automatic Conquest Corps, fighting almost to the last man in the defense of the capital. Unfortunately, the dictator's own organic troops and less advanced war droids were no match for the cutting edge technology of the ACC, and the planet eventually fell to invasion.
History does not record the name of this empire; it was intentionally redacted from all Xim-era records. Nor is the fate of its leader absolutely clear...
Although history does not record the identity of this nearly forgotten ancient dictator, the Galactic wanderer Shrim knows very well.
Few know that the first part of Shrim's name, Diktat, is actually a title of leadership from a long-vanished government. Diktat Shrim is indeed the lost dictator of SK-3's vanished empire.
Forced to escape from the final battle which ended his empire, Shrim's ship sustained damage to its primitive relativistic shields, ripping the deposed leader from his own time and depositing him thousands of years in the future.
Unable to return to the past, with his enemies long dead and the grandeur of his empire have long ago turned to dust, Shrim is forced to make a new start.
A start he is certain will lead to greater things...

- BIOGRAPHY -
"Long ago in a distant Galaxy, I, Shrim, the Force-wielding master of darkness, unleashed an age of fire and conquest! But, a foolish upstart warlord wielding twisted science stepped forth to oppose me. We battled long, but, before the final blow was struck, I fled into hyperspace, only to find that a mechanical failure had flung me into the future, where my power is no more.
Now I am trapped in the present, and strive to build a future that is Diktat Shrim!"
_Diktat Shrim.
