Biography
Kellan Solari was an ace starfighter in the Imperial Air Corps. Born on the unruly frontier world of Ryloth, Kellan descended from a long line of lawmen. Kellan’s own father worked as a sheriff for a Ryll mining outpost, attempting to suppress the near constant criminal element that plagued the planet. When the elder Solari was gunned down in the line of duty, a deep contempt for chaos and disorder rooted itself in Kellan. He sought comfort in the stories of the old Galactic Empire and their draconian definition of justice.
Once of age, Kellan set off for the Imperial Flight Academy where he quickly displayed a natural intuition for flight. Upon graduation, he was assigned to one of the Imperial Navy’s most distinguished squadrons under the command of the infamous Tavell Hamber. The veteran flight lead possessed a fearsome reputation and stories of his skill, cunning and ruthlessness had been commonplace at the academy. While the elder pilot was indeed skilled, Flight Officer Solari saw little of the callous determination of which he had heard so much of.
Despite his success beneath Hamber, the man’s pragmatism and unwillingness to mete out punishment in the name order left Kellan dissatisfied and ultimately drove him to request a transfer to another flight wing. Assigned to the Imperial Star Destroyer Intrepid, the young ace was at last given command of a squadron of his own. Untethered from moral qualms or needless pragmatics, Solari led his squadron with a savagery all but unmatched. He would ultimately reunite with his former mentor several years later as a lieutenant would purposefully sabotage a diplomatic mission that Hamber had been undertaking, evolving their latent dislike of one another into open hostility.
Personality
Lieutenant Solari is driven and ambitious, dedicated to the ideals of peace and order. Should these ideals come at the cost of the lives of those seeking to sew disorder, so be it. He views the Imperial Empire as a bastion of stability in an increasingly-chaotic galaxy hellbent on self-immolation. Despite this, he harbors concerns for the direction of this latest incarnation of the Empire. Its reliance on diplomacy and compromise are ill-suited for the ace’s personal brand of zealotry. He desires nothing so much for a return to the ‘old ways’ of bygone ages, in particular the bolstered swagger of the Tarkin Doctrine. Strength and aggression are the twin remedies for disorder in Solari’s view and he takes any measures available to employ them.
Those interacting with Kellan often find him self assured, bright and amicable. He is wholly attuned to his instincts and often chooses action over deliberation.
Skills
Lieutenant Solari is an outstanding starfighter pilot with a list of accomplishments that grow daily. He is capable of flying a range of starfighters, bombers and shuttles though the up close and personal style of flying that accompanies dogfighting is what suits him best.
A graduate of the Imperial Flight Academy, he displays a keen mind for tactics and strategy. As is required for any Imperial pilot, Solari is sufficient in hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship.
