He began heading out on expeditions to the lesser-charted regions of the Outer Rim, his fascination with space not sated until he was able to learn in a more hands-on manner. Milo's expeditions all went well, until he ventured off into the Unknown Regions. With a crew of 5 other men, they headed off into the Galactic West, several sectors off from Sith space, in a region known for strange occurrences, from mismatching energy levels to reports of supernovae where stars did not even exist. Some local space-farers feared the area, saying it was home to an ancient being, but most dismissed it as fearful spacers trying to make their lives more interesting. He sought to finally lay any rumors to rest.
He was out on a space walk only meters away from the ship, investigating a crater on an asteroid. He turned to return the samples to the ship, only to find himself on a completely different asteroid, his ship a small dot in the distance. Unnerved but determined, he leaped from rock to rock in hopes of getting back. Somewhere along the way, things went wrong. He missed and was sent flying into space, his EVA suit the only protection he had from the vacuum.
The Drast spent weeks floating through space, until he became delirious. In this state, he hallucinated, having visions of a creature as big as star systems and as old as time. It spoke to him for days, though he has never divulged what it said. The creature ended the discussion by asking him to come to it, only to find resistance. Milo was no weak-willed space farer, however, and it seemed the creature was only manifesting in his dreams because it was too far away to actually have any other control over him. Being a trained Force user, he was able to erect walls in his mind to protect himself from further probing, and was surprised to wake on his ship a day later. His crew said he'd been in a coma for weeks, and he slowly became unsure of whether he'd dreamed the entire encounter or if it had happened. Nevertheless, upon his return home, he began spending more time in Sith space, his focus shifting away from space and on to the dark side and the occult. The Drast's mentality had changed during the expedition, and it was clear he was now an ardent believer of the rule of the strong, though he refused to explain what changed his mind. He was no longer the spoiled Drast child that had wanted to be a scientist instead of a warrior.
When the Old Empire defected, he was one of the first to join it, not facing much difficulty considering Serenno was part of it, and his titles remained unaffected—not that he cared about the estate much. Though willing to accept it, he sought out to gain his own possessions, that he himself worked hard to earn, not just inherited due to his name. Thus, his venture into the criminal world began, with one visit to Hutt crime boss Nor'baal Fanth. The two quickly grew to become friends, and together were able to intercept a suitcase of violators during a meeting between smugglers. This was the first of many increasingly ambitious missions together, the slug and the Sith slowly amassing wealth. They stuck to Cantonica for a few months, though were forced to occasionally venture out for resources not available on Canto Bight. Nor'baal was not the only one he interacted with on Cantonica, however. Milo was known to attend many galas, such as the one where he met Eriana Fox, a defector from the Imperial Republic, and the two saw a spark.
He was, however, very active among the ranks of the Empire. Milo lead a campaign to take Klatooine in 500 ABC, resulting in a success. He even partook in one of the missions, where he and fellow Sith Zeven Vizs kidnapped Jabbo Desilijic Demdred, the son of notorious crime lord Basuro Deilijic Demdred. On Korriban, he seemingly made an enemy of Cait Aislinn after taking a picture of her at a Sith event, hoping to later use it as blackmail. Traveling out of Sith space, Milo paid a visit to the Lusty Lekku, where he intended to size up the competition and see what Cait, its owner, was all about. He was, after all, in the process of growing a business of his own, and a Sith was a cutthroat rival to have in the world of crime. As luck would have it, the bar was attacked by the Sector Rangers while he was there, but he managed to emerge mostly unscathed, leaving right before Mandalorians showed, also unknowingly escaping an assassination attempt organized by Cait Aislinn.
He traveled to Mataou with Nor'baal to harvest venom from a ro hypa lizard, where they were accosted by Sith assassins sent by Cait. Mandalorians arrived shortly after, engaging the assassins in combat as Milo and Nor'baal slipped away, lizard in tow. Eager to tell the Emperor of the developments, he traveled to Korriban, where he retold the past few weeks, and ensured the Empire would not turn a blind eye to Cait's activity.
Following Cait's disappearance and betrayal of the Exchange, Milo suddenly found himself free of the constant threat of assassins. Now safe, he continued his business among the underworld while balancing it with his Sith life, and for a few weeks, all was well. It was only when Nor'baal—now leader of the Exchange—put a bounty on Darth Victress that things became eventful once more. Victress had—allegedly—become Cait's master and was set to continue training the woman before her disappearance. This caused Victress to become a target for the Exchange, though not for long. After an order from the Emperor, Milo promptly assassinated his friend Nor'baal and seized the Exchange for himself.
After reporting to the Emperor (and being granted a Nefarious-class frigate) for his deeds, Milo traveled to Cantonica, where he spent a few weeks with Eriana, going on various errands to set up a casino. He grew too busy with Sith business, however, and later traveled again, this time to Hoth. There, he lead a campaign to launch an all-out attack on the rebel base in its mountains. After bombarding it from orbit using the Emperor's fleet, the Empire announced the operation had been a victory and Milo retreated from his side mission on Bespin—which had been meant to be a diversion for any Jedi on the planet.
Milo surprised himself when he chose to willingly cooperate with Darth Victress, and the two spent about a week fetching the parts for two sets of dark armor. After taking the armor from a tomb on Dathomir, the ritual was carried out on Mustafar, and the two were officially done. It was not the last they saw of each other, however, because they were soon assigned to a mission together on Iridonia. Eriana was the third in the trio, and she perked Milo's interest through her shady behavior during the mission. He later found out that she had cheated on him with Victress, and he lashed out against both women, eventually storming off and leaving the ship.
The next few months were spent in solitude, and Milo grew used to it. He met another Drast and got a pet dragon, whom he named Elaerys. Soon after, he was promoted to Sith Lord for his consistent shows of loyalty to the Empire and effectiveness among the ranks of the Sith. He renounced his Drast name as a final show of worthiness and became Darth Parox.
At a party to celebrate his promotion, Eriana Fox showed up hand-in-hand with Victress. In the scandal that ensued, Aadya kissed Parox and the two confessed their feelings to each other.
A few months later, he was hunting a gauntlet with the help of fellow Sith Lord Darth Tagus when its guardian instructed them to fight each other to the death for it. Refusing to kill a valuable person to the Empire, Parox chose to attack the guardian instead. Darth Tagus stabbed him in the heart and looted his corpse. Elaerys took Parox's body and flew off, where she dropped it at the steps of the temple on Korriban.
Despite his reluctance to identify as a noble, he can't help but still carry a Serennian accent, along with some interests his Old Empire compatriots might deem "posh." He is still an intellectual, interested in philosophy and sciences, but now they are merely a hobby to occupy his free time, and he focuses instead of strengthening his bond to the dark side or planning another campaign to sweep more worlds into the Empire.
While on other worlds his name would open doors, on Korriban and in the Old Empire it merely establishes a glass ceiling that he must shatter to prove himself to be a true Sith, not a pansy who poses as a warrior. Offworld, however, he tends to make use of the "Drast" name, particularly during business dealings, finding it that it provides him credibility in professional settings. Many bankers, brokers, and the like prefer doing business with a noble who knows the ins and outs of diplomacy.
As a person, he is professional above all, exercising self restraint in social settings and letting loose on the battlefield. He is brutal as a warrior and cunning as a tactician, whether his tactics revolve around combat or diplomacy. Milo is a driven man, fueled by his undying loyalty to the Empire and his dedication to see all of his goals achieved. He lets nothing get in the way of him and his aspirations.
More intimately, he is fiercely protective of the few he loves and cares about—perhaps unnaturally so, if compared with his general apathetic nature.
Force powers — Strong willed and determined, Milo had a great grasp on the Force, and continuously studied so that his connection would continue to grow ever stronger. In his later years, he trained to become more powerful than before, and had dedicated most of his time to reaching his goal.
Duelist — With the reflexes of a trained duelist and a lifelong experience sparring, Milo was proficient with a blade in his hand. He knew to outmaneuver lesser fighters, and how to hold his own against those more skilled than him, traits he had picked up in his training, which began from an early age.

Equipment
Clipped either to his belt but mostly hidden inside his sleeve, attached to his right forearm, Milo's lightsaber was his most prized possession, carried everywhere. Next to it, he had another, identical lightsaber to use when dual wielding is necessary or he needed a back-up. He had two sets of armor, though he generally wore his Sith gear on the battlefield and on official Sith business, as well as to events and the like. When undercover as Olin Tisbar, however, he worea set of rogue armor, preventing anyone from being able to distinguish him from the rest of the criminal scum the Galaxy is home to. His two pistols were almost always with him, his violator holstered under his armpit, completely hidden, and his Quickdraw blaster pistol was holstered to his belt, usually hidden at his right side. When undercover, he also had a vibroblade sheathed at his right. He carried 3 frags clipped in hiding.

Milo Vemec-Drast
Milo Vemec-Drast (pronounced /'my-lo-veh-mehc-drahst/) is a human male from the planet Serenno who came to prominence for his deeds as a Sith Lord, crime leader, and military strategist.[toc]
Biography
Early Life
Born on Serenno, Milo was thrust into a life of royalty. His parents were both high-ranking nobles, though he wasn't in the direct line of succession for anything beside their estates, and they were not the most loving, which is common among noble families. He was raised in a castle by servants, and spent his early childhood living the same life any other Drast was living, whether they were on Serenno, Alderaan, Coruscant, or Kuat. He began sparring when he was 7, with a professional instructor. The instructor was met with criticism from Milo's parents and their friends, their complaints audible during the weekly bingo night in one of the castle's parlors. Nevertheless, his training continued until he was 10, when he was tested for Force sensitivity and taken in by the Sith to train on Korriban. He studied at the academy until graduating, and went on to study astrophysics on Coruscant, his Drast blood ensuring he is allowed to spend a few years doing his own thing before he was thrust onto the battlefield. This was a time of peace, either way, and soldiers were not desperately needed as they are now.Expedition to the Unknown Regions
He began heading out on expeditions to the lesser-charted regions of the Outer Rim, his fascination with space not sated until he was able to learn in a more hands-on manner. Milo's expeditions all went well, until he ventured off into the Unknown Regions. With a crew of 5 other men, they headed off into the Galactic West, several sectors off from Sith space, in a region known for strange occurrences, from mismatching energy levels to reports of supernovae where stars did not even exist. Some local space-farers feared the area, saying it was home to an ancient being, but most dismissed it as fearful spacers trying to make their lives more interesting.

Enlisting in the Empire
When the Old Empire defected, he was one of the first to join it, not facing much difficulty considering Serenno was part of it, and his titles remained unaffected—not that he cared about the estate much. Though willing to accept it, he sought out to gain his own possessions, that he himself worked hard to earn, not just inherited due to his name.

Ascension to Sith Lord
The next few months were spent in solitude, and Milo grew used to it. He met another Drast and got a pet dragon, whom he named Elaerys. Soon after, he was promoted to Sith Lord for his consistent shows of loyalty to the Empire and effectiveness among the ranks of the Sith.

Elaerys took Parox's body and flew off, where she dropped it at the steps of the temple on Korriban.
Personality and traits
Ever since his return from the expedition, Milo has grown to realize that he had been focusing on the smaller, irrelevant things in life, and not truly living. Thus, he has chosen to dedicate himself to a cause greater than him, and no longer fears war, instead relishing the opportunity to be proactive, seeing change as progress. Although raised living the posh Drast life, recent years have seen great change in Milo. While once a fearful and weak noble, he has now turned into a true champion of the dark side, who believes that the strong are required to rule over the weak, lest the Galaxy turn to chaos.Despite his reluctance to identify as a noble, he can't help but still carry a Serennian accent, along with some interests his Old Empire compatriots might deem "posh." He is still an intellectual, interested in philosophy and sciences, but now they are merely a hobby to occupy his free time, and he focuses instead of strengthening his bond to the dark side or planning another campaign to sweep more worlds into the Empire.
While on other worlds his name would open doors, on Korriban and in the Old Empire it merely establishes a glass ceiling that he must shatter to prove himself to be a true Sith, not a pansy who poses as a warrior. Offworld, however, he tends to make use of the "Drast" name, particularly during business dealings, finding it that it provides him credibility in professional settings. Many bankers, brokers, and the like prefer doing business with a noble who knows the ins and outs of diplomacy.

He is brutal as a warrior and cunning as a tactician, whether his tactics revolve around combat or diplomacy. Milo is a driven man, fueled by his undying loyalty to the Empire and his dedication to see all of his goals achieved. He lets nothing get in the way of him and his aspirations.
More intimately, he is fiercely protective of the few he loves and cares about—perhaps unnaturally so, if compared with his general apathetic nature.
Powers and abilities
Born Leader — Sciences, the arts, and other noble past times were still rooted in his brain, as was leading, something that flows through the Drast bloodline. Milo came from a long line of rulers, and the dynasty continued with him, the knowledge of centuries culminating to aid him. He spent his life learning how to lead—it would have been foolish to forget.Force powers — Strong willed and determined, Milo had a great grasp on the Force, and continuously studied so that his connection would continue to grow ever stronger. In his later years, he trained to become more powerful than before, and had dedicated most of his time to reaching his goal.
Duelist — With the reflexes of a trained duelist and a lifelong experience sparring, Milo was proficient with a blade in his hand. He knew to outmaneuver lesser fighters, and how to hold his own against those more skilled than him, traits he had picked up in his training, which began from an early age.
