Ruan Arconis

A notable Imperial fighter pilot, grew up on his homeworld of Coruscant to parents who worked in the Seinar Fleet Systems R&D department, designing fightercraft for the Empire. It was not surprising he chose to enter the Imperial Naval academy and become a fighter pilot, but it was very surprising how well he performed. Space warfare and tactics were his specialty, and he became an ace pilot in short order, and soon promoted to Squadron Leader. His amazing piloting skills soon drew the attention of Vader as it was obvious he was no ordinary recruit. Rudimentary abilities in the force were certainly playing a large part in his piloting prowess.
After years of loyal service to the Empire, Ruan had his first doubts when on a mission for the Imperial Navy he is ordered to attack a civillian installation and kill defenseless people. He refused the attack and failed the mission and was officially reprimanded and demoted, only to be forced into serving Vader and the Emperor, along with Calis. Lord Darth Vader then personally began training Ruan and Calis in Sith arts, where he and Calis developed a personal relationship.
After discovering various experiements were performed on them against their consent, along with their other growing dissillusionment, he and Calis decided to make an attempt to escape the Empire.
