Marlon Sularen is a high-ranking military official within the Dark Empire holding the positions of Warlord of the Empire, Grand Admiral of the Imperial Navy, Member of the Imperial Ruling Council and Governor of the Kampe, Prakith and Halkassi Systems.
Once a young ambitious Corellian Entrepreneur, a series of sackings and betrayals have caused him to fall into a downwards spiral that would result in him being marginalized in galactic politics before the emergence of the Brotherhood of the Maw would provide him with a new opportunity to climb back into power.
Now, Sularen is determined to correct all the wrongdoings done to him along with all mistakes he had made in the past, ultimatly desiring to establish himself as Hegemon of the Core Worlds and dismantle the Galactic Alliance in the process, all in the hopes of finally seizing power that had been denied from him for decades.

HISTORY
CHAPTER I | HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Marlon Sularen was born on Corellia to Upper Middle Class Parents. From a young age, Sularen showed an interest in politics and diplomacy although his parents would encourage him to instead shift his attention towards business and commerce, believing such areas to be far more suitable for Sularen.
After completing his studies and a short stint in Corellia's local military, Marlon Sularen would venture across the galaxy establish ties and connections that would allow him to form his own shipbuilding company, SularenCo before returning to Corellia to pursue a political career with the ultimate ambition of seeking to lead his own homeworld.
However his unconventional business practices brought him at odds with the Corellian government which lead him to conspire with the emerging Grayson Imperium in order to secure a permanent position within the Corellian Sector, with Sularen making a deal with Cedric Grayson that ensured the Autocratic Jedi Lord's support of the ambitious young Sularen's desire to claim control over his homeworld.
Unfortunately, Sularen would soon have a falling out with Cedric Grayson which led to his sacking from his newly formed government in Coruscant. Seeking to regain favor with Grayson and gather more support for his cause, Sularen sought to pool in his resources to help the Imperium during the Kuati Crisis that would occur shortly after his sacking, but this would only further backfire as an unfortunate series of events would cause both the Coruscant-based Grayson Imperium and the Corellia-based High Republic to turn against him.
Facing opposition from both the Imperium, the High Republic and powerful Core World Corporations, Sularen fled into the Unknown Regions with what assets he still had with him, hoping to build up his power and one day return to the Core Worlds and seize what he believed was rightfully his : the Corellian Sector.
CHAPTER II | FALL FROM GRACE
After his self-imposed exile into the Unknown Regions, Marlon Sularen was approached by a Confederate Sith Lord by the name of Credius Nargath who offered to support Sularen in his bid to claim power in the Corellian Sector. With the aid of Nargath and a few Imperial and Corporate officials, Sulren formed a paramilitary group known as the Imperial Directorate hoping to one day invade the nascent Galactic Alliance when the time was right and take what Cedric Grayson had promised him years ago.
However before he could consolidate his power and establish a proper government-in-exile that could challenge Corellia and the Galactic Alliance, Sularen was betrayed by Credius and a group of senior officials who would convince a vast majority of his own movement to abandon him in order to form the Zweihander Union, citing stagnation and Sularen's apparent corruption. Angered by such an act, Sularen would vow to destroy the Zweihander Union and retake what he believed was rightfully from the hands of "treacherous rabble".
With no power base to return to the Core Worlds, Marlon Sularen would proceed to enlist within the emergent New Imperial Order hoping to piggyback on it's war against the Sith Empire to build his own powerbase and use it to claim control over his home sector as he had attempted to achieve with the Zweihander Union before hand. However during the early stages of the Third Imperial Civil War, Sularen ambitions for power and desire for revenge against the Zweihander Union, made Imperial High Command deem him a liability to Imperial efforts and he was eventually dishonorably discharged and stripped of his rank within the Imperial Armada leaving him with nothing once more.
CHAPTER III | SECOND CHANCELeft with nothing once more, Sularen would return to the Core Worlds and establish himself as the ruler of Byss, hoping to secretly seize control over the Galactic Alliance, having failed to raise a powerbase that could independently challenge them in open war. After consolidating his control within the Beshqek System, Sularen would begin forging Alliances with Imperial elements within the Alliance such as Bilbringi and Sanjin, but after the Eternal Empire's assault on Byss and his own attack on Zweihander Union assets on Xa Fel, another conflict with the Alliance would occur which culminated in a joint Corellian-Durosian attack on Byss and his ultimate removal from power as ruler from Byss and imprisonment by the Alliance.
Refusing to face trial at the hands of what he believed as a prejudiced and corrupt Alliance, Sularen escaped from prison and linked up with the emerging Brotherhood of the Maw whom he had secretly pledged his allegiance too during the height of his political conflict with the Alliance. During the subsequent Second Great Hyperspace War, Sularen would establish himself as a Mawite Warlord, eventually rising up to become the head of the Final Dawn, the Neo-Imperial sect within the Maw at the cost of ostracizing himself from mainstream Imperials which would leave him isolated and with few allies by the time the Brotherhood of the Maw would collapse after losing the war against the Galactic Alliance.
Despite his failure to establish a strong powerbase that could directly challenge the Alliance in the aftermath of the Mawite collapse, Sularen managed to establish various connections with influential individuals and organizations across the galaxy shifting his focus towards establishing himself as a major leader of Imperialism in the galaxy, now that the Empire (formerly the New Imperial Order) had collapsed, which enabled him to forge a new positive image amongst Imperials despite his past with the Maw.
For two decades, Sularen would build up his influence and ties across the Tingel Arm and the Unknown Regions establishing connections that would enable him to gather enough support to build his powerbase and once more take on the Galactic Alliance and end their so-called Era of Renaissance.
CHAPTER IV | RISE TO POWER
As Sularen continued to forge new ties and connections, a new power emerged within the Galaxy's New Territories. Darth Solipsis, the former leader of the Brotherhood of the Maw had been resurrected and in the process, established a new hybrid Mawite-Imperial State known as the Dark Empire drawing in elements of the Maw and the Old Empire to create a new power in the galaxy that would challenge it's old foes.
Despite having close ties with a rival Imperial state known as the Empire of the Lost, Sularen recognized the great potential that lied within Solipsis's Dark Empire and quickly integrated the Final Dawn within the Imperial Military and joined the Dark Empire proper, using his connections and power to ascend to the position of Grand Admiral. Having distinguished himself in early battles such as Onderon, Tython and Keera Major, Sularen would manage to rise to the position of Warlord of the Empire, securing a permanent seat within the Imperial Ruling Council and exerting direct control over the Kampe Sector as it's Governor within the Deep Core.
Having reached a new height of power, Marlon Sularen now seeks to guide the Imperial Military to victory in order to see to it that the Galactic Alliance is dismantled and the Empire victorious in the Core Wars, hoping to finally succeed where he had failed multiple times.
