Alaric Darkstar

Alaric Darkstar was an Imperial Warlord who took control of the Interim Ruling Council in 5 ABY.

His past has been lost to official record. He was an influential politician and officer in the Galactic Empire sometime before the Battle of Endor, and his reputation was high enough for him to secure his seat of power on Dreven during the Imperial Civil War.

After Wyth Skellheim disappeared and left his position of power vacant, chaos ensued throughout the Empire, already broken by the ongoing Civil War. A plot to install Holger as a puppet leader of the Council was launched by Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Director of Imperial Intelligence, Dekan. The plot failed, however, and in the aftermath Darkstar made his own attempt to seize control. He succeeded, and he took the title of Emperor, though few recognized him as a legitimate heir to Palpatine.

His reign would soon be contested by the return of the Dark Lord, Skellheim, who attempted to reclaim the throne for himself. Wyth would fail, however, and Darkstar would remain in power. His hold over the Council, and the remnants of the Empire, would be severely weakened. In just a few months he would step down, replaced by Grand Moff Ariak Caldny.

Alaric married Venus Dekan while she was just a teenager.
