HISTORY

Born and educated on the world of Raxus Secunda within the Tion Cluster, Colonel Thaine embarked on his military career with the Naval Corps of the Order of the Silver Jedi, later known as the Silver Jedi Concord. Initially joining as a Starfighter Pilot, Thaine quickly distinguished himself through his sharp intellect and dedication, propelling him through the ranks. Driven by a desire for further education, he volunteered for officer training and was eventually promoted to Squadron Captaincy.

Despite his rising status and recognition for his service, Thaine harbored ambitions beyond the confines of starfighters. Envisioning himself commanding the imposing capital ships that symbolize true naval power, he set his sights on serving aboard these colossal vessels. However, his aspirations were abruptly challenged when the Silver Jedi Concord disintegrated after eighteen years, leaving the region vulnerable to the encroaching Sith Order.

Disillusioned by the Concord's failure to protect his homeworld and surrounding systems, Thaine, though idealistic, resolved to serve with honor within the Sith Order's Naval Corps. He took up a position as a Gunnery Officer on a capital-class ship, where his ambition and extensive experience earned him pride in his role. Over the next five years, he witnessed the harsh realities and unethical practices of the Sith-Imperial Naval authority.

Upon learning of the Tingel Arm Coalition's formation, Thaine saw an opportunity to align himself with a new force. He made contact with Commander Fynch , seeking to evaluate the man's ambition and integrity and to understand the Coalition's long-term objectives. Armed with his expertise and insights into Sith-Imperial naval tactics and armaments, Thaine successfully negotiated a position as the captain of a Destroyer-class vessel within the nascent Tingel Arm Coalition. This move allowed him to contribute to the Coalition's discreet expansion and strategic buildup, all while avoiding the attention of the Imperial forces in the South-Eastern Outer Rim Territories.

By the time the Tingel Arm Coalition waged war against the Empire of the Lost, aiming to undermine their grip on Mon Cala and Lothal, Colonel Thaine had risen to the prestigious rank of Fleet Admiral. His journey had transformed him into one of the Coalition's foremost strategists, playing a crucial role in orchestrating the naval campaigns that sought to destabilize the Empire's stronghold. Thaine's ascent to this pivotal position was marked by his exceptional strategic mind and his ability to navigate the complexities of galactic warfare, solidifying his reputation as a key architect in the Coalition's military efforts.
