Children learn that destruction is enjoyable at a young age. For Braun Stoker, this rang especially true. Born on the core world of Corellia, Braun would, at an early age, come to understand the ways of destroying structures. It was on this bustling world that the young man would quickly learn of his life’s passions. His father, Hali Stoker, worked as a junk disposal specialist for the imperial shipyards just outside of Coronet City. He often admired his father’s handiwork as a young boy, as his family serviced the imperial fleet that occupied their respective space. Braun found the strategic placing of explosives, the smashing, and reusing of ship parts to be fascinating. His mother, whom was shortly separated from his father after Braun’s birth, Umara Jamar was a decent chemist that worked with the engineers of the city in developing ships and weapons.
Braun was fonder of his father. His father held primary custody of the young boy, and thus taught him many of the basic skills that would carry over into his later life. He worked closely with vessels and repairing the vehicles that were sent to the shipyard’s scrap heap. He was, and still is, a devout recycler. As he came into his later youth, the conflicts between the Mandalorian and the internal conflicts of the empire began to spread to his home world. Braun fell in love with the idea of protecting one’s home by the means of military service. Many of the vessels sent to the docking yards in these recent years were of the Sith Empire, and consequently he got to watch many of the passing soldiers and Sith as he worked on their vessels. At the age of 14, Braun was an active shipyard worker.
As his skills with mechanical work improved, he began to understand not simply how things were held together but also how they could be dismantled. He would, at times, play tricks on his old man by stealing fusion cells from the cell cores of speeders and hover craft. One evening after one such prank, the fusion cell in question became volatile and became thermally charged. This cell hyper-reacted and seared Braun’s hands, creating an explosion after having been lobbed, quite literally, like a hot potato. The resulting explosion enamored the adolescent boy who appreciated the destructive powers of the thermal cores and other inflammable materials. From this point on, though against his father’s wishes, Braun began to play with volatile chemicals under the supervision of his mother on the planets colloquial weekends (year and day cycles are not traditional earth cycles so idk what their calendar looks like). Braun was not particularly bright but had a very strong knack for chemistry and creating reactive explosions. This honed skill proved useful in the development of his demolition scrapping technique used to reduce the size of large scrap ships into manageable pieces.
At the age of 18 Braun felt a very strong urge to serve his empire. He thought back to the valiant looking, shadowy soldiers that instilled fear and respect into very onlooker. He desired this personal respect. Being a Junkers son never offered many opportunities for such treatment. He was slightly better off than an urchin, but still felt to be among the lower class. Originally consigning to the imperial navy flight school on Carida, Braun, or Cadet Stoker at this time, attempted to become a piolet. While being good at following instructions, he lacked the ingenuity and spatial awareness to be an effective starfighter piolet. This was made very clear by his constant failures during the routine training exercises. After less than a quarter cycle, Braun was “politely” transferred to the trooper corps to serve as a ground soldier.
It was here that Braun proved his mettle. He found it much easier to work as a foot soldier. Taking well to much of the blaster training and following orders well, Braun was quickly distinguished as a proper soldier. The instructors found that Braun had an affinity for explosives, and he was often choosing to work as the demo operator during training exercises. His demolition charges were often modified, using nitrogen blasting putty, giving the thermal detonation devices that were standard issue a more charged effect. After completing his unit’s basic training, Braun was deployed to a less than desirable post. His first assignment was on Rhen Vhar at a comms post. He was assigned to be one of the maintenance workers there to ensure the post remained operational.
During his time on Rhen Vhar, Braun became very familiar with the Sith Empire’s equipment and repairing such machines. The land roving speeders the base’s garrison used to move from one installation to another, as Rhen Vhar was far too cold to traverse on foot for the most part, became one of his most worked on vehicles. It felt, at times, that the poor lad spent more time repairing speeders than he did the comms equipment. Though much of his time here felt useless, it was here that his unit bonded before being torn by warfare shortly after.
It did not take long for the political geography of the galaxy to change as the Imperial Republica and the Old Empire united to form the Sith Order. This union created weakness in the solidarity of the power structure of the Sith and left weaknesses that the Mandalorian soldiers took advantage of. He was present, in the following years, at conflicts on Kessel, Rhen Vhar, Mimban, and even Corellia. His home world, along with Kessel fell to the Mandalorian faction, leaving him to retreat to the Sith Order’s interior. He was wounded seriously at Kessel and has a scar on his right shoulder that serves as a reminder of their failure there. His hands are scared from the volatile and acidic thermal charges he often works with and can often been seen with bio tape.
Current Timeline:
Trooper Stoker is currently in Sith controlled space. His loyalty is to his emperor and their cause that is to spread control and fear all over the galaxy. He desires to bring his home world Corellia back into the Sith Order but is simply an infantryman. He is nationalistic and believes in their cause, though he does so with a degree of ignorance. As recognition for his service, Braun was promoted to Lieutenant within his respective unit, serving underneath a captain. He is currently stationed in Sith space awaiting orders.

As a young boy, Braun had a more innocent view of the world. He was naive and desired adventure, as many Corellian people often do. After joining the Sith military and learning first-hand what it meant to be a warrior, he has developed a much gruffer personality. He, at times, can be volatile and cruel to his peers. This is a result of the fear and anger that engulfs the Sith Empire and everything that is represented by the old ways of the Sith. He fears their Sith commanders, but only to the degree that they are clearly more powerful than he is. He respects the Sith and all their power. Braun has a great admiration for power, but also has a strong sense of duty to follow those that had fought with him during the great conflicts of the past. He is a loyal soldier, to a fault.
Braun, on his down time, appreciates the smaller things in life. He loves to tinker with machines but often finds himself without the equipment or time to do so. He is an obsessive card player and only plays until he wins, even if his money has been long lost. He does not trust other games of chance. Chance is not to be trusted in his mind. His attitude is very straight forward and direct. His service as a trooper has caused him to develop this nature of direct addressal. If there is a problem, he does not complain. Braun, rather, opts to fix the issue and then move on to the next priority. This very straight forward nature also gives Braun a stale attitude towards life. He is a soldier first and foremost.
He has a soft spot for his father. When Braun thinks back to his childhood, he can only remember the positive things about his dad. His father currently resides on a Mandalorian controlled world. This gives him subtle anxiety but does not bring him any weakness in the field. If he were forced to choose between his position in the empire and his father, the choice is clear. Braun is willing to sacrifice his fellow troopers, his passions, and himself for his empire. He is but a pawn in the greater scheme of the imperial war machine. He does not have a great deal of self-worth because of this. He sees himself as a simple trasher’s child who is choosing to do his duty.
He is not generally intelligent. Braun is not quippy and full of snide remarks. He is however very good at understanding structure and demolition. He can take out large structures such as buildings or bridges by attacking the weak points of the structure. He is, when it comes to explosives, relatively genius, but otherwise his know how is about that of a Corellian mechanic. He does his best to prove useful to the empire and the troopers he serves with. A long time veteran, Braun is simply trying to do his duty and serve the proper leaders of the galaxy, the Sith Empire.
