ACCESS GRANTED-
Del Valorous was born on Chandrila to a well known military family. For generations, his family served in the Chandrian Navy as officers, each being successful in their own right. His father was a Lieutenant Commander of a Star Destroyer, and his mother was an assistant for a Vice-Admiral. Their parents before them held similar positions, and Del's grandfather even managed to attain the rank of Captain.
Thus, from an early age, Del was thrust into a military lifestyle. Even before he entered the Chandrian military academy, he was learning the art of war from his parents, as they taught him how to fight with both body and mind.
As soon as he was old enough, he joined the military academy in order to further his studies as well as kick-start his career into the military. During the entirety of his time at the academy, he consistently placed at the top of his class due to both his parent's tutelage and his own brilliant mind. Thus, he was given the rank of Commander and 2nd-in-Command of a Republic corvette. During the time of peace before the Republic once again was plunged into war, he slowly climbed the ranks until his rise was halted after he was promoted to Captain and given command of his own frigate.
Del's climb was once again started, however, upon the outbreak of the war and the integration of the Chandrian military into the Republic's own. During the Battle of Coruscant, he commanded his frigate to place itself into harm's way by descending into the planet's upper atmosphere in order to provide covering fire for the defenseless evacuation freighters, saving the lives of thousands of civilians. Due to his bravery during said battle, he was awarded the Medal of Valor and received a promotion to Rear Admiral, becoming one of the youngest Admirals to have ever served in the Republic navy. After his promotion, he continued to serve the Republic faithfully until its eventual demise.
When the Republic fell, Del was one of the few high-ranking officers who managed to escape the purge that followed. While the majority of his fellow Admirals were captured and executed by the Empire, Del and his fleet managed to evade a direct confrontation with the Sith.
Over the course of the next four years, Del consolidated the majority of the remnants of the old Republic's fleet, eventually gaining enough ships that - in his opinion - would be enough to once again wage open combat against the Empire in the name of the Republic.
In search of a single decisive battle, Del led the Republic remnant armada to meet with a similarly sized Imperial fleet over the planet of Kuat, where he planned to repurpose Kuat Drive Yards to produce more ships for the remnant fleet. Both he and the majority of his captains agreed that they would be able to emerge victorious and hold the system long enough for them to replenish their casualties.
They were wrong. While the battle was initially going as planned, a second Imperial taskforce emerged from hyperspace much sooner than anticipated. The Imperial reinforcements managed to flank Del's fleet, and the remnant armada was torn apart under the might of the Imperial navy. Only a few, smaller, vessels managed to escape, while every other craft was completely demolished.
Del himself was presumed dead after the end of the battle, as his flagship suffered serious damage as he once again tried to cover retreating ships. As soon as the few survivors escaped the system, Del ordered an emergency jump to a random location, hoping to save the lives of at least some of his crew. The jump was successful, but the ship had already paid the price.
Detonations ran throughout the entirety of the vessel, including the bridge, and by the time the Imperial pursuit reached them, the entire ship was ablaze, with few life signs detected. Del Valorous was presumed dead and the ship was left to burn, it's husk to serve as a reminder of the fate that rebels faced if they fought against the Empire.
However, Del was not dead. Instead, he was found alive, albeit missing an eye, arm, and both legs, by GALAF. The organization nursed his body back to health, but could not fix the psychological damage done to the once-proud admiral. Unable to cope with his defeat, Del often wakes up thinking it is 5 years in the past, only remembering his current after someone tells him so or he returns to sleep. -

Due to psychological trauma suffered from his defeat at Kuat, Galen often has nightmares about his past and often has huge swings in his personality.
Most of the times, he's just a tired, aging, admiral who has given up on fighting the good fight. Normally, he's lethargic and tired in this state. He tends to keep to himself, and is often seen with a drink. When confronted by a pressing matter, he normally tries to retreat into alcohol.
Other times, his mind seems to set itself back 5 years, and he genuinely believes that he is still in command of the remnants, on the run from Empire or fighting a pitched battle against his foe. He normally exhibits a large amount of fear and confusion while in this state, and is often seen trying to push his rank in order to get others to listen to him - to keep order in the ranks, of course. However, he still thinks tactically, and will respond to the best of his ability when confronted.
Rarely, he resembles his old self, from before the fall of the Republic. He exudes a fierce passion to continue the to fight against his old enemies and restore the Republic. The sheer passion that can be seen shining in his eyes often inspires confidence and raises moral. Even though he is quiet-spoken, every word enraptures his men and pushes them to new heights. Rarely, Del becomes someone that people can simply look at, and feel safe knowing that they are in his care. - ........
