Vassily Korolov

Vassily Korolov is Warlord of the Galactic Empire, and known Sith Lord.

Early Life (20 BBY–5 BBY)
Little is known about Vassily Korolov's early life. No records exist in any Imperial Datbanks of his planet of birth, his parents or date of birth. However rumors abound that he is a Militant, caste based society in the Inner Core, to being the by-product of an Imperial Super-Soldier breeding program. What is known is that approximately 5 years before the Battle of Yavin, 15 year old Vassily Korolov arrived at the Stormtrooper Academy on Carida.

Carida Academy and First Assignment (3 ABY–0 BBY)
Vassily Korolov excelled at Carida. His high intelligence, exceptional agility, and physical strength made him an excellent soldier. He was always at the top of the lists in everything from academics, to sports, to combat training. His classmates respected him and Instructors could barely keep up with how quickly he was able to take new training and put it into practical use.

On his 16th Birthday, barely a year into his time at Carida he was put on a track to become a Stormtrooper Officer. Not only was it unheard of for a plebe to be placed in the program, Vassily Korolov was two years younger than the average First Year recruit at the Academy. He excelled there as well, learning to command Squads, Cohorts, Centuries, and Legions, as well as integrate Stormtrooper operations with Naval and IGF assets. It was during his time that he met Lorn Rhys, a new recruit into the Legions and assigned to the first Squad put under Vassily Korolov's command as an Officer-trainee.

He qualified in all of the Stormtrooper specialties; Sandtrooper, Seatrooper, Snowtrooper, Radtrooper, Shadowtrooper, and Spacetrooper. By the ege of 19, Vassily Korolov had set and broken every record the school measured. It was little suprise to anyone at Carida that he would graduate at the top of his class, the top of any class the Academy had seen. It was at his graduation from the Carida Academy that Vassily Korolov met two men who would play a great role in shaping his destiny. Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader were in attendance personally. Partially because the Rebellion was starting to gain ground and secondly they had heard of young Korolov and his success at the Academy. It would not be the last encounter Vassily would have with either of them and in the back of his mind, even then he knew something was different about him. He was Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Stormtrooper Legions and was given his choice of assignment.

He had heard many great things about Grand Moff Wilhuf Tarkin and that the 501st Legion had been assigned to the new 'Death Star' Battle Station. This really turned the choice into no choice at all. Despite his choice, his destiny was not to go there. As his transport jumped out of hyper-space at the rendezvous, the crew was met with distressing news. The Rebel Alliance had destroyed the Death Star near the gas giant Yavin. His ship was given new orders, to jump immediately to the Yavin system and meet with the Star Destroyer Avenger to finish what the Death Star could not. However by the time the ships arrived, the Rebel defenders were long gone.
