Chained by Darkness
Dracken Pryce was born on Corellia as the son of a shipwright during the final years of the Gulag Plague. His father was a shipwright and found work with Corellian Engineering Company. When the mercenary company known as Omega Pyre took residence in Corellia and later became a full-fledged government, Pryce Sr. sent the young boy to the Protectorate’s military school where he would graduate from to go on to becoming a Protectorate naval officer. His career with the navy was short-lived.
Risen from the ashes of the Sith Empire, the One Sith launched a surprise assault on the people of the Galaxy, crippling the Galactic Republic and throwing the Protectorate into chaos. During their war with the One Sith, Pryce was captured and forced into slavery by the Dark Side powered empire. He was heavily conditioned to the point of brainwashing and thrown at the combined armies of the Republic and Omega Protectorate as cannon fodder. During the conflict, he would kill several young Jedi and hundreds of Protectorate men and women either by his own hand or by his orders. He became nothing more than a Sith Raider. Towards the middle of the war, however, elements of the One Sith military split violently from their Force wielding masters. Caught in the middle, Pryce took the chance to escape and fled with Isamu Baelor and his separatists.
The Iron Empire
It was an uncertain time for Pryce. The Unknown Regions held many mysteries and even more dangers. He wasn’t even sure if he would be able to make it but when his shuttle landed in the subterranean spaceport of Csilla and he was greeted by the Iron Empire’s armed forces he knew he’d made the right decision. He spent the next few years of his life serving the Iron Empire, deep in the Unknown Regions. He learned to speak the Chiss language fluently very quickly due to their near-constant dealings with the Ascendency. Most of his time was spent as a First Officer aboard one of the Iron Imperial cruisers, taking out pirates, raiders, and would-be invaders, hoping somewhere deep down, that this was at least some form of penance for the atrocities he’d committed during his time with the One Sith.
It didn't last long though. The Iron Empire wasn’t as rigid as its name would suggest and it began to crumble from its own ambition. Its system spanning fleets were either defeated by insurgents or sold as scrap to pay for their debts. Isamu and his ruling class of elites abandoned the empire they helped create to retreat to their own world and Pryce resigned from the military, or rather deserted, as a Captain and returned to Corellia but his home had changed. During his time in the Unknown Regions, several Galaxy-spanning events had taken place, including the near-destruction of his homeworld during the Netherworld Crisis. Now Corellia was borderline unlivable and a thick asteroid belt made up of the shattered world and the strange world that had materialized in Corellia’s orbital position. Covered in biodomes and surrounded by terraforming stations and vessels, Corellia was a shell of its former self and so was his family. His mother had been killed in the incident and his father was terribly injured. The only one that seemed physically okay was his sister who still had nightmares about the events that Pryce was absent for. In fact, he had been entirely absent for his sister’s birth and so he was an enigma to her.
Despite his despicable acts in the war and despite Corellia’s state of affairs, he was welcomed home as a war hero and awarded First-Class Bloodstripes for his courage and mental toughness. By then though, the Protectorate had crumbled and the One Sith were knocking on Corellia’s doorstep. He joined the Corellian navy and was given the rank of Captain.
Luckily in the wake of the Protectorate and the Republic a new force, the Galactic Alliance, had formed. Corellia joined their cause and Pryce was moved to a new Corellian battlecruiser ship type. The Colony-class battlecruiser became his and the ANS Starchild along with its accompanying battlegroup was at his disposal. The Alliance was pushing the One Sith back, but it was only a ruse. Just as before the Sith had crumbled and been reborn, like a dark wraith haunting the Galaxy. Along with a new faction from the Unknown Regions and Outer Rim, a group called the First Order, the reconstituted Sith Empire struck out against the Alliance. Pryce had been in a state of near-constant war for the entirety of his adult life. Betrayed by the Jedi Order, if one could believe it, the Sith Empire was given a backdoor to Coruscant. As part of the response, the ANS Starchild and her crew were en route to the capital world but were intercepted at Fondor, caught in a First Order interdiction trap. The battle was bloody and saw the near-destruction of the Starchild and its task force. If it hadn’t been for the pilots of Rogue Squadron Pryce would have died that day, but with their interdictor destroyed the remaining forces fled. That was when the news hit.
The Alliance had fallen.
Love in ExileIn exile with no place to go and not knowing what to do he turned to his comrades and Rogue Squadron. On the run from the forces of the Sith Imperial Bloc of the First Order, Sith Empire, and Galactic Empire, Pryce and another Rogue Squadron pilot by the name of Ava Cartwright began confiding in one another. Far outside the rules of any military now and with nothing to lose the two became quick friends. When the call came to meet at D’qar by the remaining Alliance Exiles Pryce was promoted to Commander and was tasked with leading a roving battlegroup with their only directive being to strike hard and strike fast against the Sith and their allies.
After some refits at a Mandalorian shipyard deep in Outer Rim Coalition space, old Alliance allies on Corellia sent word via encrypted vidcom that a Corellian Rebellion against the Imperial Bloc would be occurring within the week. Pryce jumped at the chance to retake his home and task force Starchild entered the battle too late and the Imperial Bloc forces at Corellia were easily able to push the task force back. It wouldn’t be until the New Republic emerged and launched their own assault that Pryce was able to aid in the liberation of Corellia. The battle was won but with heavy casualties from task force Starchild. Ava Cartwright was nearly among them. It wouldn’t be until after this devastating battle that the pair became lovers, finally confirming what they had been feeling since Fondor. The pair moved in together after Pryce officially left the Alliance in Exile and took up a commission with the New Republic as a Rear Admiral. The two only had a short time together however as Ava still had misgivings about the nascent New Republic after hearing of its recent migration. She still felt like she could do more good with the Alliance and so when Pryce and the Starchild went on to their first assignment Ava returned to the Outer Rim. The pair would meet up from time to time over the two years the New Republic held Corellia.
An "Independent" Corellia
After over a decade of changing hands and being left to the Sith, Corellian sentiments towards independence were rising. Despite their aid in throwing off the Imperial Bloc, the New Republic continued to show weakness in the form of disorganization and their choice in leadership. From the time of the Netherworld Crisis, through the Imperial Bloc occupation, and the years under the New Republic the Corellian people had rebuilt the world “on their own” without a large government to support them and had even begun producing a war fleet in the Kiris asteroids. With the Imperial Bloc removed and the New Republic’s lack of restrictions on military development, Corellian leadership began spending more and more credits on building their navy.
By the time of the New Republic’s Battle of Kuat, the Corellian Starfleet rivaled that of the New Republic itself. The Battle of Kuat resulted in a devastating loss for the New Republic. Portions of Kuat’s ring were left inoperable, the Confederacy of Independent Systems had occupied the space with their superior Starfleet, and someone at Republic High Command had leaked the full schematics of all their military hardware, their military patrol routes, and other classified military documents. Enough was enough and Corellia had the power to do something. Corellia seceded from the New Republic, taking several of the neighboring systems along with it.
Losing a major military power in the New Republic, they crumbled internally as Corellia closed its borders and trade with them. Critically injured in the battle, Pryce recovered on Corellia as the world began creating a new nation. Dubbed the Corellian Confederation, it quickly grew to be one of the dominant forces in the Core, and when he fully recovered Pryce joined the new Defense Force and took command of the Starchild II. Aiding in the defense of several systems and playing a pivotal role in the Battle of Balmorra, Pryce was awarded the rank of Admiral and became Second-in-Command of the Corellian First Fleet. In an ironic turn of events, after securing a large portion of the Core Worlds from bandits, despots, and Imperial Remnants, the Confederation voted all in favor of becoming a republic, taking a title of the same name. The Corellian Defense Force was changed into something new, The Grand Navy of the Republic.
After a majority vote in the Senate, the High Republic joined the Core Alliance forming a new Galactic Alliance. For a time, unsure of where to go, he stayed on as an advisor to the greatly downsized Corellian navy, taking the honorary rank of General. He was convinced to join the Alliance as a System Admiral.
Trial by Fire
The birth of the Galactic Alliance was celebrated across the Core Worlds as the two powerful nations merged and set aside their differences. At the forefront of the Alliance's new navy were the High Admirals of which Dracken was one. In the Tingle Arm the Sith faced a civil war. The Sith fought against their military leaders for the freedom of their people from the brutal regime of the Zambrano Dynasty. The Alliance joined the nascent New Imperial Order, spurred on by their Jedi Knights to use this chance to eradicate the Sith Empire as a threat. Pryce led the first campaign into Sith territory on the Alliance's front. The Braxant Run Campaign was brutal and saw many lives lost. It was during this time he met and befriended a Togrutan Jedi Knight who fought alongside the 222nd, Pryce's main marine contingent throughout the campaign.
The Braxant Run saw the loss of many of Pryce's friends but it was inevitably a success with the New Imperial victory over Bastion. It seemed that the war was theirs. However, future campaigns would see Pryce lose faith in his own ability. This along with him spending more time with Osarla, the Togrutan Jedi Knight, would lead him down a path to the Church of the Force. Defeats in the Stygian Campaign nearly broke him, but when the New Imperial Order pushed through the remaining Sith space victory was theirs. Pryce would serve as High Admiral of the Galactic Alliance leading Battlegroup Kenobi for several more years until the outbreak of the Second Great Hyperspace War.
Second Great Hyperspace War
After the sacking of Coruscant and the supposed defection of Corellian Senator, now known Dark Jedi Kaito Kiyoshi, Dracken tried his hand at politics. With the support of the Corellian Diktat he was elected, the strength of his political party and his easy-going nature pushed him through a difficult campaign. His honesty was a breath of fresh air in a senate that had been plagued by false politicians and dictators. He saw his first political victory with the passing of the Common Soldier Corps law and he founded the Kyprin Renegades, a Corellian-based Common Soldier fleet dedicated to the defense of the Alliance in the face of incursions by the Brotherhood of the Maw. For a time he allied himself with Free Alliance Coalition to combat the rampant corruption in the senate. His time there taught him much about politics. While he was not a prominent member he did earn himself a solid reputation in the senate and would eventually join Auteme Denko-Durren as her runningmate.
Together the pair hoped to lead the Alliance through the end of the Second Great Hyperspace War and guide the Alliance to a brighter future.
A Galaxy Convergence
Twenty-Six Years. From the age of seventeen Pryce had fought in war after war. It earned him and his family twenty-six years of peace. After retiring from politics and his stint as Vice-Chancellor pre-maturely he returned to Corellia where he became one of the many Corellians seeking to earn a living on the Coronet Frontier. With his wealth and influence, he was able to build one of the largest ranches on the frontier. After the death of Diktat Yularen he was approached by the Corellian Council to run. Tired of years on the farm with the only memories of it being bitter ones towards his son he left for the city, leaving the ranch in the care of his sister. He had thought it would be like getting back in the General's chair again, but with no war and only a few skirmishes along Corellian hyperlanes (and those outside of GA space) he became a boring old man. After the first few years he returned to his ranch, moving most of his office staff with him, preferring to run his day-to-day with a beer in his hand from the saddle of a steelee. -
