Zhar Hoover Wilson Bacredi is cocky, arrogant, self-centered, superficial, one-way, impatient, incorruptible, and egotistical man. Bacredi is the former Naval Training Officer of the Vast Empire Navy and First Sergeant in the Vast Empire Armed Forces. Bacredi joined up with the Vast Empire at age thirty, and was immediately casted into the Vast Empire Naval Intelligence. After a tragic accident in the VENI, Bacredi transferred to the Army and then to the Starfighter Corps. Passing through Kaph, Viper, Nazgul, Bulwark, and the 67th Squadrons, Bacredi then served as the Chief of Staff of the VENA, and was soon promoted to the Executive Officer and finally the Naval Training Officer, which he resigned a few months later.
Bacredi's early success came as he invested all of his savings into the Seeling Architecture Stock, 250,000 Imperial Credits. The stock soared up, and eventually Zhar became a member of the Seeling Board. Making millions with the Seeling Business, Bacredi eventually went back to BacCo. Bacredi's net worth flourished, and today he is worth more than 80 million credits. Zhar is an active member (While on leave, of course) of the Royal and Allied Flotilla, a small trading flotilla. Zhar was given many ships when his parents died—some of these include the St. Albans, Invincible, Devonshire, Iron Duke, Bedford, Somerset, along with many other ships—Bacredi uses this fleet with BacCo and many other organizations. Bacredi is also currently the Secretary of the Treasury for the VESR.
After a short stint in retirement, Bacredi signed back into the navy as a Naval Logistics Coordinator for his once subordinate, Hunter Morrell.

History
Taris and Denon
Zhar Bacredi was born on the planet of Taris, he was the son of Brion Hoover Bacredi—a businessman turned Rebel pilot—and Nemo Wilson Bacredi—a political supporter, and a member of the Imperial Party and Conservative Party. Both of their middle names—Hoover and Wilson—were combined to create Bacredi’s middle names. Bacredi was also the oldest of four, and he was one of the two boys in the family—the other was James Bacredi—while his sisters were Laura and Lisa Bacredi. Bacredi attended his junior academy, getting decent grades and playing sports like an average boy. Bacredi was a profound member of the academy’s grav-ball league, playing a wing and helping lead the league to victory. Bacredi was later cast out of the league after he broke his leg in a speeder accident.
Passing out of his junior academy on Taris (ages four to 14) he attended his middle academy were he began to major in a degree of law. Zhar’s great grandfather—Representative Bacredi—was a great lawyer, being the Attorney General and a prosecutor for the Raegent legal system. While Representative Bacredi was a great lawyer and a great man, he gave Bacredi many of his most dislikable assets—stubbornness, spineless at times, and always wanting to argue. But Bacredi’s way went elsewhere and he was caught up in other activities—he joined up with the Debate Club and Mock Trial. He eventually flunked out of the class (to this day he still remembers many parts of the class though), he transferred into the Architectural wing.
The Architectural Wing in the Correlian-styled campus became home to Bacredi for the next year (he was 16 at the time). After Bacredi passed his first year, he had a choice of three universities to attend—the Taris Institute of Architecture, the University of Denon, or the University of Lianna—Bacredi chose the University of Denon. Bacredi loaded onto a transport that his father had purchased for a small ride, and it set off. Bacredi had brought along his family inheritance—450,000 Imperial Credits—and a few other possessions. His great grandfather had left his family a small apartment on Denon, where he would occasionally visit—that apartment became home for Bacredi while he was at the university. Bacredi longed to be able to build the droids that served him every day.
Two years after his enlistment, Zhar got his wish—he moved into the Droid and Starfigher Plan Design. Learning under Mr. Lias U. Antilles—a famous architect of the Antilles family—Lias was like a second father to Bacredi. Learning much under Antilles, but this was a short mentorship. Antilles was killed a year later by a Burglar to his home, his funeral was attended by the Antilles family, and Bacredi himself. Bacredi later decided that it’d be better to go higher with his grades, which were at an 80 percent average (the University’s average was 83 percent at the time), the grades had failed every since Antilles' death. So Bacredi looked into another professor, Professor Mabbott. Professor Mabbott was described by Bacredi as a “blatant ass”, but he was able to teach Bacredi what he needed to know.
Bacredi was forced to take a student loan as his parents were out of reach for the majority of his academic career. The loan was in the 900,000-range, and Bacredi was forced to have some kind of "cushion" for the loan. His uncle, Donald Bacredi (who at the time was a successful businessman), set him up with a internship at the Mayor of St. Paul's office. The Mayor—Trevor Coleman—was delighted to have another intern (he had a small number of them due to the fact that his office had been hit with many scandals) and gave him an office in the capitol building. Bacredi worked with Coleman's Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor, and helped St. Paul shift the efforts of a huge deficit to a small, but well appreciated, surplus. After Bacredi's term as an intern he left the office with a sense of pride, and a large learning of the common world, not sheltered away like his parents had kept him for years.
After passing through the University, Bacredi only accepted personal contracts. And then left the Architecture Business completely, he still helped design buildings such B37 and such. Bacredi was never actually cast into building droids, but only buildings. He continually asked to build droids, but never got his wish. He even applied for a job at a major droid business, but got denied. Bacredi described this part of his life as “Troubling. The economy at the time was in a vacuum.” Moving back to Dantooine, Bacredi helped design the BacCo outpost that he would eventually live in.
Bacredi looted off of his parents for awhile, getting enough to buy a freighter. The freighter was a Gallorfree Medium Transport christened Farshadow. Bacredi visited many planets during this time, but he eventually got bored of the hunk of metal and sold it. Salvaging 300,000 ICs for the ship, Bacredi purchased a Y-Wing—a sluggish craft that had a hyperdrive—and began to explore the outer rim continuously. On a routine trip to Dantooine to visit his home, Bacredi was ambushed by pirates. Bacredi was transporting Au’lesh, who acted as his co-pilot, to Dantooine (Au’lesh had needed a transport and paid handsolmely). But a pirate subfighter came towards Bacredi’s ship, Bacredi fired ion blasts and disabled it, but not in vein—the pirate had launched a missile. The missile made Bacredi’s ship crash land on the moon and co-pilot die. Bacredi un-holstered his S-5 pistol took out his rifle, waiting for the scouts to return.
Bacredi began to move about the crash sight, trying to find a good area to send a distress signal. Once he found a location, the scouts that had just landed on the moon found his location and came looking for him. Bacredi encountered the scouts and was able to take a few of them out before retreating back to the Y-Wing, when the scouts found the Y-Wing Bacredi hid in the pilot seat. He eventually sprang a trap on the scouts by popping out of the pilot seat and taking all of them out. The leader of the scouts was the only one left, and Bacredi engaged him in blaster combat. Bacredi was able to get a shot on him at a cost, he was hit in the thigh and has a scar there to this day.
- "I think this was probably the breaking point of my anger. The scouts had shot down my fighter, killing Au’lesh—my co-pilot—in the process. I took a rifle I had in the back of the ship and searched for a good place to send my distress signal. I found one, but this also alerted the scouts of my position. I was able to take a few scouts out, but I had to retreat back to the Y-Wing."
- ―Zhar Bacredi, after his Co-Pilot died.[src]
Bacredi joined the FreSec (Freallia Security Force) half a year after the Skirmish on Dantooine. He became a patrol officer and was put on regular patrols 7 days of the week. He was promoted to a Sergeant eventually, and took command of a Speeder Squad. During a incident involving the death of two of his squad members he decided to leave the FreSec. He tendered his resignation, which was accepted. His parents had not gone into fighting the Empire, yet. So, Bacredi had a plan—Bacredi asked his parents, who were wealthy beyond imagine from each of their inheritance, for a large amount of money. They gave him a good 2,000,000 Imperial Credits as long as he paid them back.
Bacredi, now 24, was sick and tired off all the shit that was going around the galaxy. Zhar also had savings, 250,000 standard Imperial Credits. The Seeling Architecture Business was something that Bacredi had been watching for awhile, and Bacredi put all of his 250,000 into it. Zhar watched the stocks soar up from his apartment for a year, and eventually applied for a job at Seeling. The Seeling Business, realizing Zhar's potention and new found wealth, decided to make him a Special Advisor to Operations. Bacredi had to pay his parents back as well, though. He did that, and lost 2,000,000 of his own credits. He did have a good fortune there, though—the Seeling Stock (which Bacredi by now had 1,000,000 ICs in) went up massively. “At least 10 points,” described Bond Trader Roles.
Bacredi was 26 and now a millionaire in all terms. Bacredi was still a member of Seeling, and he had been promoted to a junior member of the board. Zhar had also requested a transfer to the Lianna Branch. The Lianna Branch, which was making millions of Imperial Credits with the buildings that were being constructed there, was by far the most prestigious branch. Bacredi was now the Director of the Branch and a board member, life couldn't be going better for him. His net worth at that time was 25 million Imperial Credits. The Seeling Business was now looked at by huge businesses because of the contracts it was acquiring, and Bacredi soon enough began to sell his stocks more often. Bacredi was afraid that if Seeling was bought, the stock might be neglected and go down.
As Seeling Business was bought out by a larger fish, Zhar requested his retirement package and moved back to BacCo. BacCo was started by his father many years before. Bacredi set up a deal with his uncle, Mr. Tyr Bacredi, that if he was able to produce one million credits for the business, he could become a member of the board. This of course was while Brion Bacredi was fighting for the Alliance. Bacredi did it, and he put one million down for the business. But as soon as Zhar's father died in battle, his will was read. His will stated that Zhar would become chairman, Zhar did not want this though. Bacredi then decided that he would give his position to Tyr Bacredi and be given the position of Vice Executive.
Bacredi since then had been asked by his brother, James Bacredi, to be his running mate on the Lianna ticket for Mayor of St. Faol. The former Lieutenant Mayor of the ticket was John Deacon, who had died in a fatal speeder accident. They were 5 weeks away from election day. Bacredi accepted, but it was too late into the entire process, and Bacredi and James lost. Their campaign focused mainly on the economy. All of his siblings began to barrage him about the fact that he had never had a real job and Bacredi began to get extremely depressed. He couldn't find a job on Lianna where there was a field of expertise for him that didn't connect back to BacCo, so he had to do what his father had done before him: join the military.
Vast Empire Naval Intelligence
Strong feelings such as “what the hell just happened” flew through Bacredi. Bacredi took his fighter—the old, repaired Y-Wing that he had once used—and flew to the nearest outpost. He landed on one of the more minute factions, the Vast Empire. After he took his entrance exams he was required to enroll at two academies and complete them within a year. Bacredi enlisted at the War College of Cepany and the University of Tadath. At the War College of Cepany he studied history of the art of war and majored in Intelligence. A year after that, at the University of Tadath, he was given a degree in Logistical Operations. Both were under deserved. Bacredi decided to ask to join their intelligence sector—he was given a desk job and placed. After about six months of being a desk job, he was given a small corner office which was an upgrade from his cubicle. Bacredi mainly filed mission reports and debriefed many agents as they came in. Zhar practiced every day at the range for one day he thought that he might become an agent. One day, his dreams came true and he was given a jet-black combat suit and a weapon.
Bacredi was with two other agents for his first mission—their names were Bacardi and Treveli. Bacardi was the lesser of the group, and Treveli was the higher ranked member. Treveli and Bacardi's objectives were to infiltrate and destroy a ship-building plant that was producing a large amount of starfighters for the New Republic. Bacredi would fly a Gozanti-Class Cruiser—christened VI-039, as Vast Intelligence, Pennant Number 39. He would drop and pick up the two agents. They started out fine, getting through with six kills (2 that were credited to Bacardi and 4 for Treveli), and making it to the gas chambers. They would destroy the gas chambers which would set off a chain explosion. Once in the gas chambers, two New Republic Intelligence Operatives that were reporting to their command about the station's progress became involved—they were given the task of finding and killing them. Once in the gas chambers, a firefight started out between the two, Treveli and Bacardi having silenced pistols and flash. Treveli killed one of the agents, and as he went back for cover a New Republic Intelligence agent shot and killed Treveli. Bacardi shot and killed the agent.
No time for mourning, Bacardi placed the explosives on the gas tanks and ran out for cover. He made it two miles in ten minutes, he was being followed by two speeders. Bacredi pulled in with VI-039 and swooped over, using the ship's droids to fire at the speeders. The speeders were destroyed and Bacredi quickly landed, picking up Bacardi. They both immediately landed back onto the intelligence star destroyer—Nemesis. Bacredi and Bacardi then got another member to their team, John Way. Way and Bacardi move, along with their newly christened pilot / support gunner, Bacredi. They were part of Operation: Life Saver, where eighteen agents (including Bacredi, Way, and Bacardi) moved infiltrated a plant using silenced weapons. The plant was destroyed as well (it was a twin to the last one), with eight agents lost, however.
After Operation: Life Saver was finished, ten agents remained. Andar and Bacredi were among them. Their friends—Agents Griffith, Social, and Peterson, Private, Sergeant, and Sergeant First Class respectively, were among the dead. Bacredi moved back to the VI-039 and then set off hyperspace for the Nemesis' coordinates. Zhar then set down his combat suit and requested a political stance in the VENI. A political stance within the VENI is practically just moving around and continuously being asked to look at other positions. Bacredi was a “navy cop in a city of 5,000 [a Star Destroyer]”. Bacredi was able to keep his aim, and his leg, all in operable order during this time.
Two years ago, Bacredi was placed aboard Star Destroyer Judicator. Immediately problems arose with his Commanding Officers regarding a turn of tides (commander becoming a traitor), which led Bacredi and his fellow agents to stop a mutiny from happening. This never happened, as the other agents were either killed or joined sides of the CO, Bacredi hid in the ships hanger bay (inside a ship) for two days. Eventually he was able to hit the thrusters and got out of the Judicator, a few days later he reached NHC and told them of the situation. They then sent a task force to intercept the ship, the ship was never heard from again.
He then transferred from Vast Empire Naval Intelligence Judicator Intel Branch (the branch of investigation for Judicator) to 3rd Flotilla Intelligence and Logistics Commander. Due to the fact that the Flotilla was on the Defensive Side, he did not have many jobs. Eventually getting kicked off the job by higher ranked and more respected officers, Bacredi headed straight towards Army Initiation Command.
Division Transfer
Zhar Bacredi's first duty was to clean out his desk on the VEI Branch Station, his second was to leave. He took the Imperial Shuttle Shaff to Tadath, in the Sian System. Tadath is the capitol of the Vast Empire Army and the base of operations for them as well. As the ship landed in Sianat, Bacredi recieved his first orders onto a datapad. His orders were as follows: "Take Ground-Transport Shuttle to the Tadath Magistracy Headquarters, in Sianat. From there on, you will work as Magister Kelsor's Personal Guard—a position that the army took very lightly and was mainly a joke. This position also doubled as an aide and he reported to the Tadath Army Headquarters about Kelsor's activity. Kelsor eventually lost the election and Bacredi was misplaced, he eventually listed up with the Vast Empire Intelligence again and was placed as the Special Agent in Charge of the Praexus Branch.Zhar Bacredi's 'team' was made up of other backwashed men from the Navy and the VEI. The team was composed of Zhar, as the Special Agent in Charge. Gordon Carmichael, who caused a huge accident on the Star Destroyer that he was Starfighter Director of. That was caused when the racks shifted under his command and 7 starfighters crashed immediately. Killing the pilots and many workers in the hangar. The third agent was James H. Flynn, he is a Special Agent, he lost a lead on the planet Tadath which eventually lead to a terrorist attack on the planet of Taris. And finally, the communications officer, Thomas Finnegan. Thomas Finnegan shot and killed seven civilians while chasing a terrorist through a crowded shopping mall. The terrorist was hit with the civilians, however, but one of the civilians was the son of a local Magistrate. The Magistrate condemned the actions and went straight to High Colonel Harper (the Army Intelligence Chief) and had Finnegan moved to another location.
The base that Bacredi and his 'team' were placed in was a four room rental building, while they rented out the basement as well. The first room was where they ate, played cards, and cooked. It was considered a full apartment, however, but the bed was moved out of one room to fit in a table for dining. The second is considered the armoury and the intelligence sect., it has an entire wall covered by paintings. Under the paintings, safes are filled with rifles and ammunition. Computers are on another wall, and if someone enters the room, they go back to looking at porn and VEBay listings. The third room is where the three agents that aren't the Special Agent in Charge sleep, it is three rooms that has a bunk in each. And the fourth is Bacredi's bedroom (which is just one room), a bathroom, and the escape stairwell.
The basement houses a LAVr QH-7 Chariot Command Speeder and a Q-6100 Landspeeder, both barely used. The team barely ever got any leads, however, and the station was only created for the backwashed Vast Empire Intelligence agents. The luxury apartments around them began to fill up and they began to add more and more security to the rooms. The agents began to get more and more paranoid, more and more arrogant, and more and more sick of each other's cooking. Eventually, all the agents began to go to the range every day, and Carmichael (who is the son of a wealthy heir) bought the group a small building that was underground outside of the city. That housed the transport the VEI had assigned them (before that, it was housed at a small starport) and it was a Gallofree Medium Transport.
The team finally got a decent assignment. RAIDERS Squad had just entered the planet, and it was the Vast Empire Intelligence's job to watch them. Zhar led the search in their Q-6100 Landspeeder, and they set off. But soon enough, Joamer Reistlin came across one agent, and that agent (Flynn) was forced to stun Joamer. Joamer was stunned for 2 minutes and the team had to prepare for a possible deathmatch against the squad in case they reacted the wrong way. This happened, and Jaenna Caldwin—the SL of RAIDERS—began to question. Bacredi responded with an iron will of the 'VEI is superior', etc etc. They started to go back to the landspeeder, but a rocket was fired from a few blocks down and it impacted on the speeder, killing agent Flynn.
Everyone's wits were tested as they began to fire back, Corporal Caldwin and Agent Carmichael started with the burst of fire while Finnegan raised his sniper to check if anyone was left. The shooter—who was most likely related to the Rain Man in a way—had left. The group didn't realize this, however, and kept on shooting. The shooter had moved around and up a stairwell onto a roof, keeping a constant vision on the Vast Empire Intelligence and Stormtrooper Corps squad. They eventually had to get out into the open as civilians began to wonder what was happening and moved out into the street, Finnegan had to stun one of them before they saw anything. They all ran into a back alleyway and Caldwin and Havock were able to hotwire two speeders.
The agents slipped away when they had a chance after Bacredi called in for the small amount of reserve agents on the planet. Three agents and two pilots came to the call, and two agents by the name of Pogger and James took the GR-75 up in the air. The rest of them stayed on the planet to wait for Bacredi, Carmichael, and Finnegan. They set off in the LAAT/I that had been modified, they were near the location that Bacredi first met RAIDERS when they detonated the facility. At the same time, a missile was aimed towards the LAAT/I (modified), everyone held on for dear life. When the missile hit, Finnegan and the pilots where immediately killed. The backup agent that wasn't on the GR-75 died moments later, and Carmichael went out of the transport spinning and hit the ground, killing him. Bacredi held onto the bunk and jumped out of the transport, calling for help.
Zhar was picked up by RAIDERS Squad just before the enemy ran over his location. He had planted a few sonar-mines that the soldiers walked over, killing two. Bacredi was about to be overrun before he made a run for it, making sure that he wasn't being followed, he ditched his gear. RAIDERS' shuttle then found him and destroyed seven soldiers following him, the last soldier was shot by Bacredi. RAIDERS Squad dodged fire, and landed by Bacredi. Private Walcroft was able to add covering fire with Gunnery Sergeant Joamer, taking out three more tangos. Bacredi then loaded up into the transport, and everyone else did as well. They then set immediate target to Tadath—the headquarters of the Vast Empire Army / Vast Empire Stormtrooper Corps (a counterpart of the army, but still under their jurisdiction). When they got to the planet, Bacredi requested transfer from Vast Empire Intelligence, Army Branch into Vast Empire Stromtrooper Corps — he then joined RAIDERS Squad.
Bacredi—along with all of RAIDERS Squad—was ready for when Thrawn attacked. Almost all of the Vast Empire knew that it was about time, as there had been many warnings about Thrawn attacking them. Their first target was Tadath, and RAIDERS met up with the rest of the Stormtrooper Corps and the Vast Empire Army to help out. RAIDERS moved with Iron Horse Squad to move to a Sentinel landing platform, they then hijacked a landing craft and moved out from there. They convinced one of Thrawn's Star Destroyers that it was a friendly craft. From there, RAIDERS, 5 Marine Squads and 1 Special Forces Squad moved to destroy the shield generators. Bacredi moved with a fire team led by Corporal Katash along with all members of RAIDERS Squad.
Bacredi brought his M1 "Tyrant" Chaingun, and a silenced modified Tropov—his weapons of choice. They started out by disabling the shield generator, as the marines held the hangar. Bacredi quickly attempted to pass by a multitude of squads, which they did, they proceeded to the shield generator bunk rooms. There were three rooms to the shield generator—Bunks - Hallway - Generator. Bacredi and the rest of the team he was part of and when the door first opened (A special operations fire team was accompanying them, and had been at the door before them). Bacredi used his spraying fire technique...which really isn't a technique, and began to mow down anything in his path. RAIDERS had completed the first room. They moved onto the hallway, taking down a few more guards—then they finally entered the generator room. Bacredi—after RAIDERS popped open a doorway with explosives—set charges onto the first generator. He blew it with full force, explosions racked RAIDERS.
After that, RAIDERS reeked more and more havoc onto the now waning star destroyer, they headed to the escape pods. Bacredi learned how to fly the escape pods in basic training for the navy, in a one day course, and was therefore chosen by RAIDERS to fly it down to the planet. He did so, and with little opposition, they hit Tadath and the squad was picked up by the local patrols. They were moved towards Fort Sexton and immediately began to suit up for the impending attack on the Fort to capture Army High Command. Bacredi went with Karash—one of the squads medics—and they both began to hold off the first waves. The Noghiri then arrived, and everything went to hell. They got support from the recruits and began to barrage them with waves of machine-gun fire and many other things. None of them died, however, but it forced their retreat. Bacredi and Havock were tasked with flying a LAAT/i (with RAIDERS inside it) to the enemy base. They had all been disguised as some of the enemies "honor guards".
The honor guards infiltrated the base and where eventually caught by two Noghiri—which almost led to a showdown, but RAIDERS put their weapons down. They were eventually rescued by Ghost Squad, which cost all of Ghost's men their lives—adding more casualties to this suffering battle. Bacredi and the rest of RAIDERS were rescued and went back to Fort Sexton where the battle eventually ended in a Vast Empire victory. After this, RAIDERS went on another mission which ended in a badly damaged simulator, Bacredi packed up his bags and went towards Wraith Squad—where his new friend, Ron, was Squad Leader. Bacredi took up arms with Wraith Squad, taking their new weapons and training in their technique.
Serving another tour with Wraith Squad, he quickly excelled in Heavy Weapons but was never fully qualified for Heavy Weapons. Wraith was quickly deployed to the Arkanian Conflict with all of WildCard Platoon. Arkania represented a problem for the Vast Empire and they were attempting to conquer it for their own means and to help the civilians. Wraith Squad, along with Oppressor Squad and Crater Squad, were deployed to the Arkanian city of Kanti. Crater Squad was half decimated on arrival to Kanti and they quickly made up for it with tact. Wraith Squad was separated and Bacredi and two Oppressor Troopers hid in a building after killing its two inhabitants. A gunfight ensued after an elevator into the building opened, revealing Wraith Squad and two of the hired guns after them.
He was suggested to the Heavy Weapons Specialist specialty by a former friend in the corps (and an instructor at the academy)—John G. Gorge. John G. Gorge was demoted, however, and then decided that he also needed to take the class. Bacredi, Gorge, and James all took the class together—and were all on the same teams in most of the drills. After Bacredi had what was considered enough of the army he was transferred to the navy.
The Starfighter Corps

Bacredi, at the low point of his flying career went to the Imperial Initiation Academy at Vectra, were he was helped by some of the smartest officers in the Vectra Academy. He passed the Aviator's Exam with flying colors, and was hooked into Grey Squadron as Grey 7. He met his soon-to-be great friend, Duun Khan here at the Squadron and he continues to be friends with him today, thought a little more distant than usual Unfortunately most members of Grey Squadron were killed except for Duun Khan, and Zhar Bacredi during a battle. This caused Bacredi to request transfer to a different squadron, and soon after Grey Squadron was disbanded. Bacredi was given the choice of three squadrons: Devil Squadron, Twilight Squadron, and Kaph Squadron. Bacredi chose Kaph Squadron because they were much less staffed and Bacredi would help beat them back into shape.
Bacredi joined up with Kaph Squadron after he went through the Aviator's Exam with a high percentile and passed through Grey Squadron, and was put in the position of Kaph 2, the leader's wingman. Bacredi was immediately shipped off to the mSSD Atrus on the shuttle Thunder. After he settled in to his quarters, he headed off for Atticus IV, his assignment. Atticus IV was Bacredi's first assignment with Kaph Squadron, Bacredi—along with some members of Kaph Squadron—did simulators there, and pulled multiple pranks on their squadmates. He first arrived aboard the Lambda-Class Shuttle Tagge. Once there he recived his droid TC-5K8, and is also were he upgraded the droid. Atticus was a place for pranks, and was also where Bacredi met Stormz—who is currently Bacredi’s Vice Training Officer and former Chief of Staff. Stormz and him continue to be friends.
During Operation: Iron Sweep, Bacredi fought with Kaph Squadron. When Bacredi boarded the Lobo with the other members of Kaph, he expected this to be an easy run against some spice smugglers. He was mistaken when the task-force led by the Lobo and the Serenity, both Dreadnoughts arrived in the Yetton System. Once the shuttle Tyranny arrived down on the moon it was shot down on its take off. Bacredi had three (3) confirmed kills. During the battle, Bacredi moved around with many members of Twilight, Devil, and Crimson Squadrons. He performed many battle maneuvers, such as Attack Run 2—Attack Run 2 was performed by many other members. It involved each fighter moving in an attack line, every time they reached the target they’d fire and turn. Every turn would be the opposite of the one that went before them, and it was performed excellently. And after Bacredi transferred to Viper Squadron, Bacredi wrote a fourteen page briefing on the battle.
Bacredi joined Viper Squadron as a Senior Crewman, four days later he was given the rank of Petty Officer Second Class. The same day, Bacredi took a small trip to the Raegent System and did the Senior Aviator’s Exam. Bacredi got one promotion and was then a Petty Officer First Class. But Bacredi met Sicario here, and they would continue to be friends. As they boarded the Suspense for Operation: Uprising, Bacredi would of considered this mission a little close to home. The Epsilon System had long been valued by the Bacredi family as a base of operations for their ships, and it had been taken over by rebellious civilians. Bacredi was also put into a Scimitar-Class Assault Fighter, where they would soon bomb the shit out of the planet. Bacredi was shot down before he had a chance to work anything out, though. And was soon picked up and taken out for medical support. He then moved to Nazgul to become a Flight Leader.
Bacredi moved to Nazgul Squadron under the request of Geordi Atrasin. Bacredi participated in the Battle of Roku Tan, were he showed excellence in his fighter techniques. During the Battle of Roku Tan and the other smaller skirmishes in the battle, Bacredi flew with his wingmates and friends. As Nazgul Squadron helped secure the defence line, Bacredi helped guide pilots into the right positions. After Roku Tan, Nazgul had received new toys—they went out to play with them. When a distress signal was received from Medical Frigate Amana, Bacredi and the rest of the squadron responded. Bacredi sported two kills during this battle. He was later promoted out of Nazgul.
After being quickly hustled out of Nazgul Squadron (with a promotion to Warrant Officer, Second Class), Bacredi was placed as the executive officer of Bulwark Squadron. The squadron was placed aboard ISD Propitious Thunder. When they entered their first battle with the rest of Wing Seventeen (Phalanx Wing), the Squadron Commander of Bulwark Squadron, James Doll, was killed in action. This caused Bacredi to take over Bulwark Squadron, after the battle (which had come out in their favor), Bacredi lead Bulwark Squadron onto a few more missions—Operation: Hoopahollics, where they went onto a bombing run. Operation: Usurping, where they went on a scouting mission. And Operation: Flinn, where they didn’t really do anything—before being promoted out of Bulwark Squadron. Bulwark Squadron was later disbanded under defence cuts, something that Bacredi had tried to fight. But he proved to be another outspoken critic of the Vast Empire Navy.
Bacredi was slowly promoted out of Bulwark Squadron to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. He was placed in the Offensive Fleet under the 67th Fighter Squadron, nicknamed "Ice" Squadron. He was also given the position of Ice 1-1, he was the Squadron Commander for awhile and eventually befriended his old friends in Phoenix Wing. He fought alongside Phoenix Wing in a battle were Lancer-Class Frigate Perpetual and Carrack-Class Cruiser Alliance fought. After the battle, Bacredi was taken aboard the Perpetual and moved to the communications room. Phoenix Wing was long gone and had gone back to base. He received a message in the communications room labeling him as C-3PX2's replacement for the Naval Training Officer Position.
After High Admiral Japheth ended the message, Bacredi requested that the Perpetual and the Alliance be moved into the Vast Empire Naval Academy's jurisdiction. They were made test ships and academy ships, they would also go to the call of duty when the academy came under attack.
The Naval Academy
| “ | Under great consideration from the Naval High Command, you are hereby given command of the Vast Empire Naval Academy due to C-3PX2's retirement. | ” |
| —High Admiral Japheth Cappadocious. | ||
After three months as a Technical Assistant to the Executive Officer of the academy, Bacredi was promoted to an operator and placed aboard a Training Frigate. Bacredi helped train many of the navy's pilots today (in Phoenix Wing) and many of those people that he trained know him still. As the training frigate was decommissioned and shot down for training, Bacredi was promoted out of the recruit everyday process to Trainer Level Two. After he began to work on new training processes for the academy. Due to a few conflicts in the academy, he was promoted to Lead Operator (currently, the name of Lead Operator was changed to “Chief of Staff”), replacing Stormz. After that 5 day tenure, Bacredi replaced Ibram Tyrol as Training Executive Officer, due to confidential reasons.
As almost all of the members of the academy (except for the recruits) were away at the academy, Bacredi left Lieutenant Krazanr in charge and headed off to the ball. After the ball was over, Bacredi moved the location of the VENA Staff offices to Reach II and gave Lieutenant Krazanr a large amount of authority. Bacredi began to research the scores of the Senior Aviator's Exam, and soon realized that pilots were receiving 100 pecents too easily. Bacredi told the security department to look into a "cheating factor" that might be involved, and Bacredi then was practically obliged to change the Senior Aviator's Exam 100 percentile to 1 promotion. This has caused some ruckus over that, and many people have complained. But Bacredi has stayed adamant about keeping it at one promotion. The reasons are still the same—people still get 100’s, and they might be cheating.
As Bacredi sat down with Captain Vox and High Admiral Japheth Cappadocious, and a few other advisors for the monthly briefing with the Naval High Command, he thought of ideas that he had scribbled onto his hand on the ride over. He had thought about the Fleet Officer Candidate Exam, F.O.C.E. It was apparent that the officers were just able to take it whenever they wanted to: Bacredi wanted to change that. He brought it up with Lieutenant Commander Hargraves, Advisor to the NCC and he told him to bring it up with Vox. Captain Vox, High Admiral Japheth Cappadocious, Lieutenant Commander Hargraves, Ensign Ibram Tyrol, and Bacredi all agreed that it was better to do that. Also, many people aren’t even legible for the F.O.C.E. at this time.
In the next meeting with the Naval High Command, he requested more ships to be used as training vessels. Bacredi was given the Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser Serenity (which Bacredi had served with), and Dreadnaught-Class Heavy Cruiser Admiral Doreth, both mothballed. With this, Bacredi started using them as training vessels. The two ships were soon to be scrapped, and that is why Bacredi took them. During this time, they were also being repaired by Naval Techs in training. Also, it is used in many drills that are being created by the Naval Academy Direct Staff, even though most of those drills have failed. They make up the current “Reach Response Team”, a team of ships dedicated to the safety and wellbeing of the system.
The 4.3 million acre plot of land that Bacredi moved the Vast Empire Naval Academy headquarters to became useful to Bacredi. The Naval Marine Training Center had come under fire on Charblyis XV, and the marines had to be relocated. While a training center was being set up, Bacredi offered part of the VENA center. The Marine Training Commander accepted, and Bacredi began to help set up a massive training center. Soon enough, Marine Training Drills began to go on schedule again. And under a small defence cut, the Marine Center became permanently on Reach II. The Marine Training Commander is also currently located on Sheffield Island.
Soon enough, though, Bacredi's Chief of Staff and Training Executive Officer Krazanr retired from all of his positions within the Vast Empire. To fill this position for a short while (until a replacement was to be found) was Gordon Carmichael. Gordon Carmichael was Bacredi's former Commissioner of the Second Academy, and was a likable man. As Lieutenant Krazanr returned to the Vast Empire Navy, Bacredi offered him the position as Training Executive Officer, again. Gordon Carmichael, who already knew this would happen, returned to being the Commissioner of the Second Academy. To spread out the ranks, Bacredi made the Training Executive Officer the Training Executive Officer—no longer the Chief of Staff. Instead, he put the Chief of Staff as an average position, and he began to take applications to fill out his staff.
After that small sting of retirement by Krazanr, Bacredi decided to double up on his work load. Krazanr and Bacredi both remembered the Razor Training Course, and they both started to work on ways to either end it or use it. When they both chose to end it, they sent it to archives and they finished that project up. The Razor Training Course, which had only been done by a few crewmen, was over. After this, however, they both started to look at it again, as did students. When students asked for it to be put back into service, they both denied. Bacredi also had the aging HoloNet feed (that he had originally designed), replaced. Also, for a short stint, Bacredi signed Hunter Morrell on as a temporary adviser to the Chief of Staff. Morrell—who did a good job while a temporary advisor—was invited to stay as a Trainer, Level Two. At this time, Bacredi signed on Rorran Gorma as the new Chief of Staff, and Rutian as another Trainer, Level Two.
An addition to the positions of the academy was the Chief of Staff—a position that is operated currently by the incumbent Rorran Gorma. The position was formerly Lead Operator—a position that was last held by Lieutenant Krazanr—but was abandoned as the Vast Empire Naval Academy went through a revamp. After Bacredi looked it over, he decided he needed someone to control his staff, and Gorma was chosen for this. And for a new start, the position was renamed from “Lead Operator” to “Chief of Staff”, sometimes called “Platform Saratoga Chief of Staff”. The Chief of Staff has many different assignments from the former Lead Operator position. For starters, they have more staff to manage and less operations. Also, they have a much different environment to teach in.
The Director of the Legal Office of Raegent II, Bob M. Carter, was elected with a landslide victory of Director of the Legal Office of Raegent II Runner-up, Jim Flint. When this happened, Carter—a man that had once passed through the Naval Academy on Charblyis IX—was able to retrieve some funds for the Naval Academy. This was later brought up during a Congressional Meeting by Director of State of Raegent II, Steven Rikes. Steven Rikes, a long time anti-war man who held a position above Carter, took close to seven million Imperial Credits away from the Naval Academy. Governor Paraq—the Governor—decided to end this, and he settled with Carter. Rikes resigned quickly after, and he was replaced by Bob Carter. Bacredi gave his thanks to Carter by signing a large donation to his next fundraiser.
Heavily criticized for the fact that he hadn't changed anything in the academy's ways in the main training process, Bacredi faced heated criticism and small approval ratings. Bacredi thought it would be best for the Vast Empire if he resigned, and he did, requesting a transfer to the Army. Bacredi also resigned from the Director of the Office of Academics of Raegent.
Lianna
Filling the debt that he felt towards some military Bacredi joined up with the Lianna Secret Service by pulling strings with his uncles and brother. He was given an easy position, him and Charles Whitmore both were sent protection dossiers for the Director of Regional Operations for Central Secret Service. They were both extremely happy with their position, and protected the Director with utmost discreetness. During the Central Valley Wars—which involved over 1.2 billion residents in central Lianna—the starting shots of the war were fired at Director Banks (Director of Central) and Bacredi and Whitmore were forced to protect him and ward off three attackers in the city of Central Valley (Pop. 5.9 Million). They were both lightly injured and wards of terrorists responded to this attack, but by then the full force of the Lianna Secret Service regiment in Central Valley had arrived and began to ward off the new terrorists. Bacredi and Whitmore put the Director into his van and they loaded into the first speeder. They began to drive out to the space port, until the two speeders in front of them, which were backup agents, were barraged by heavy rocket fire. Bacredi and Whitmore exited the vehicle and were still only equipped with pistols, and they weren't able to finish their ride to the space port. The director's van was hit by heavy rocket fire and he was immediately killed, Whitmore and Bacredi both picked up weapons left around by fallen agents. They were both able to escape. The next day they were both discharged and given retirement funds to shut it.
Bacredi moved to Preston's Hollow and bought the home that he lives in today. He modified the house with a gate and a speeder garage, and he also took his retirement package from BacCo and the Vast Empire Army—both divisions. He spent the next six years working for a Private Security Firm known as Standstall Security as a lobbyist. Bacredi soon after that took another retirement package and was set for life from his previous investments, and he was too old for any other military work as he was nearing forty. He spent the next two years attempting to gain his former self back as he had promptly gained ten or so pounds and lost most of his strength and invested in much. Eventually his money went south in his investments, and he only had his large amounts of money kept away by the bank (he had singned a bill were the money would be locked away for three months at a time and be given to him in small intervals so he would have to work) and he looked for a job. He went to his cousin, Donald Bacredi, and asked for a favor.
After Bacredi's long stint in retirement, Donald Bacredi saw two openings in Morthen, where there were 18 seats in the House of Representatives and one seat was open due to a death. Bacredi, who registered as a Conservative the day he arrived in Lianna, moved to Cheshire County where his uncle promised him the seat (which he could appoint due to the fact that he was Speaker of the House). Bacredi was appointed to the position and immediately voted on three bills that were under discretion. Bacredi played a very minor role in the House of Representatives, often being referred to as a "baby" due to the fact that he was appointed by his uncle. Bacredi, with his mind played down by his reputation, decided to run for Attorney General of Lianna from Cheshire (which is the head of all legal matters in Lianna). He was immediately endorsed by the President of Lianna, Governor of Cheshire and Korkshire, Speaker of the House Bacredi and Mayor Bacredi. He eventually won the election of Attorney General, and as an Attorney General must be a member of the Senate or House, he won the House seat for Preston's Hollow.
Bacredi won the election by a small margin (670,000 votes) over his Liberal opponent. He was inaugurated as the Attorney General of Lianna and consecutively won a seat for the House of Lianna, with the seat of Cheshire County—where there are ten and a half million residents. Cheshire County is extremely conservative, and Bacredi won there with no trouble. Bacredi joined his brother (because the Speaker is a member of the executive but elected by the House of Representatives) and many other cabinet Secretaries and the Senate Majority Leader. As Bacredi moved into his representative seat, he was greeted by the civilians of Cheshire and Terrace Garden County (as both of these counties are shared by Bacredi's district). Bacredi was given the position of Deputy Head of Civlian Affairs, which is one of the many subcommittees (that are part of the main committees) of the congress of Lianna. He helped head the fight on underpopulation in some areas of the country.
Bacredi resigned as Attorney General of Lianna about three months after his election and was placed by the Chancellor as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the head of all financial matters for Lianna. During this time, Bacredi—who now strongly opposed the military creations for certain counties (each county having their own military) and thought it was much better to just have a large military. The House instead passed a large bill for funding each county for having an air force, a ground force, and a small naval—aquatic—force. Bacredi went straight to the Executive Council of Cheshire, which he asked for a vote of no confidence on a veto, he was denied a veto by the Cheshire County Council and therefore he could not go onto the Executive Council of Lianna and ask for a veto. Bacredi expressed dissatisfaction with the vote and it soon escalated into the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Defense nearly shunning him in all meetings as they contributed heavily to the bill.
The counties surrounding Bacredi's own—Korkshire, Vashire, Meshire, Norshire, Terrace Cliff, Terrace Tower, Townsend, Port of Lianna IV, and Kastor—all were heavily militarized. The counties in Bacredi's own district, Cheshire and Terrace Garden, were also heavily militarized as well, but not as much as the other counties, only have five divisions each. The other districts had ten divisions plus each, and had massive air and ground forces. The Governor of Morthen (the state that encompasses all of the districts that were mentioned), John Thane, became uneasy with the buildup of forces compared to the state's national guard, which was mainly centered around Preston's Hollow. Bacredi lobbied in the House of Representatives and pulled strings in the Senate to try to get all forces to be disbanded or moved to state governments, but the bill was defeated by a large margin with only a handful of Conservative and the entire liberal base voting for the bill.
Days after Bacredi attempted to get that bill passed, the county executives of Korkshire, Vashire, and Meshire all moved their divisions to the outskirts of the county, and the forces almost stepped into Terrace Garden County. The Governor of Morthen commanded them to stop these ridiculous movements of troops but he was deposed of in the governor's office. Bacredi ordered a mandatory evacuation of all citizens in Cheshire and Terrace Garden Counties in Preston's Hollow small trading fleet and air transports. They were all evacuated to Bedford, a large island three hundred miles off the coast with a population of 30,000,000. Bacredi then helped Fleet Admiral Harper—leader of the military of Terrace Garden and Cheshire—ready the troops. They were not ready when an attack came from the counties on the border and only one division was ready for the attack, and they were crushed without cover fire. Mortars from the Norshire County hit Preston's Hollow, smashing into the outlying tanks defenses.
Air attacks, helped by Bacredi who is a former pilot, spearheaded an attack on the advancing tanks that were rolling over Preston's Hollow farmland. Gunships and fighters all hit the tanks and destroyed three out of every four contacts, and the stragglers were pinned down by fire from the Grassroot civilian police. This gave the military time to set up large trenches encompassing the surrounding areas of Preston's Hollow, they had no tanks left to deploy. Three days later the trenches were overrun and half of the city was being controlled by Meshire County. The Lianna Supreme Court was in deadlock to aid or let Terrace Garden County fall. The support that the army of Terrace Garden was being given was minimal as they had barely any soldiers and close to four hundred tanks were rolling over the fields a day later. Massive firing squads were placed in the large towers of Preston's Hollow and they began to barrage the tanks, who couldn't hit the towers without destroying parts of the city.
Vashire had conquered the farmland—Grassroot—and set up mobile missile sites. Later that day all of the counties seceded and created the Northessex-Folder Republic. All of Lianna that was still allied with Terrace Garden and Cheshire sent troops in boats and land transports to Bedford, where they all met up and took hundreds of large transports. The mobile missile sites butchered these transports, and one out three of the three hundred transports survived. The transports that survived landed at Mesa, Preston's Hollow and were soon deployed to downtown Preston's Hollow. The mobile missile sights were soon destroyed by the newly arrived troops. The Bedford Air Guard, as soon as the missile sights were destroyed, sent their two divisions: twenty squadrons. The squadrons bombarded the cities of Vashire, the frontier, and moved onto the other counties aided by Lianna City Air Guard.
Vashire soon had surrendered and more and more troops moved into that area, Kaster, Korkshire, and Meshire surrendered three days later. Bacredi had been exported to Lianna City where he was meeting in the House of Representatives. Fifteen days after constant siege, the rest of the counties surrendered and all of the executives and military leaders of these counties were brought to Lianna City for trial on the House Committee on Ethics. The Chancellor of Lianna—John Crawford—placed Bacredi and Lestin, a Liberal representative from a suburban district, as joint Representative for the new Board of Governors of the counties and now encompassed the new territory of Lianna and was filled with soldiers to occupy it. The Board of Governors was filled with twenty men and women that now directed all operations inside the district and expedited all military power inside the district as well. Bacredi and Crawford now represented two districts: their own and the territory. Each represented the territory with bitter feelings.
Bacredi's term as Chancellor of the Exchequer ended after three months (all executive positions go on rotations of three months except the Chancellor) and he was immediately placed on the Lianna Executive Council. He and eleven other men and women constantly meet in the Lianna City Capital and advise John Crawford on many matters regarding Lianna affairs. Soon after that he was given the position of Deputy Head of the House Assembly Committee on Government Affairs, under Chairman Otter. At the same time he suggested that he help the planet with their Development of Urban and Rural areas while on the Executive Councils. Due to the fact that he had a degree in architecture, this was granted and he helps the Minister of Development for Cityscape and Rural Areas as an advisor from the council.
The Secretary of State for Northessex—a large grouping of Lianna states—resigned to become Shadow Minister of Transportation. Bacredi was immediately chosen for this position by the Chancellor, and he was confirmed by the full House of Representatives the day after. The secretary position was rather bland, as his division only covered half of two continents and the population was not prone to do anything entirely stupid. Bacredi was put on eight week notice due to the fact that three other senators were vying for his position. Bacredi also had ambitions for a senate run as well. He immediately resigned to focus on his campaign, and opened up a campaign committee and the samne time for the elections to come in the next two years. Bacredi, when approached by the Chairman of the Board for BacCo, was taken aback by his appearance. The chairman had hated Bacredi, but he still needed his help. The chairman asked that if Bacredi resigned from his relatively bland post as Secretary of State for Northessex, he would be making 2 million credits a day and chairman of the board. Bacredi hopped on board immediately and sent in his letter for resignation, which was subsequently denied.
After Bacredi's uneventful term ended and Chancellor Crawford approached Bacredi to serve as the Ambassador to the Vast Empire from the UKP, he chose not to run for re-election and instead was inaugurated as Ambassador. Bacredi started by moving all of his items out of his congressional office and into his new office at the Foreign Ministry of the King's palace. Bacredi was granted a full home in the Royal Rotunda (a 2.3 million acre plot of land that is full of foreign dignitaries and royals, along with some government officials) and accepted the offer from the Prince of Fife, the King's second son. Three months later, Bacredi was chosen by the Foreign Minister to be part of a five man team that would help negotiate a peace process between three UKP systems and Lianna, which had been warring with Lianna constantly.
Zhar began the uneventful process of working directly for the Royal Family and the Foreign Ministry. At this time, Bacredi took a pay cut along with 90% of all of Lianna's politicians. Zhar went from 225,000 credits to 150,000 credits, and still retained a small pension fund in case he retired. The Prince of Fife began the process at the same time of fighting corruption within the House of Lords—the governing body of the Royal Family—and enlisted Bacredi to help. Bacredi and the Prince removed 23 Lords from the House, almost all of them of the Cross-benching Party.
Zhar was thrown out of the Lianna political scene after it was revealed that he had a addiction to alcohol and other drugs injected by needle. Zhar shifted into his home and was forever changed, and immediately changed his house into a dry home and made all of the ships dry as well.
Information
Appearance
Zhar Bacredi is a tall human male—measuring 6'—with an average build of 176 LBs. His hair is a dark brown and his face is white, sometimes tanned from his constant inhabitance of Dantooine, Lianna, and Denon. His eyes are green and his teeth are sparkling white. His attire is constantly mixed with suits, button downs, v-necks, flight suits, and armor. His suits are brown, grey, black, and blue, occasionally with pinstripes. He used to always wear suits around, but he has recently given it up for a more relaxed appearance. Light blue with white stripes, white with an undershirt, blue, or black are the button-down shits that Bacredi wears to match all of hit suits. When he is outside of his suits we'd wear a loose white button down with the top two buttons undone. His ties are a wide array of colors, spanning form green with black stripes to blue, pink, and red with a family crest in the middle.
Bacredi could barely beat a 90-pound ten year old in an arm wrestling match—that is how weak he is. He does not have the muse to constantly work out like he used to, and therefore he has pushed himself back to working out two days a week after his doctor said it would keep his health at a healthy level. Zhar is nowhere near as strong as he used to be back in the army and navy, and is therefore rather embarrassed to see his former friends in the Navy and Army. Also, the hindering effects of drugs and alcohol took their toll on Bacredi's appearance, making him look tired and depressed at times.
Personality
- Cocky—Zhar Bacredi was brought up in a life of luxury, but was never given too much due to the fact that his parents wanted him to stay modest and not have a balloon head. Zhar, in his later life, decided that with the money he earned and inherited, he would like to buy businesses, ships, and homes all across the galaxy. Zhar began to have a sense of self pride that eventually turned into him being the cocky bastard that he is today. He is so proud of what he has done for himself (or what his parents have done) that he would let other people down just to make himself feel better, and constantly brag about what he has.
- Arrogant—When asked what is more important to the galaxy, a cure for a common disease or Zhar Bacredi, Zhar would always choose himself. He feels that because of everything he has done in life, with the military and BacCo, he should be rewarded with constant praise from other humans. He seems to have developed a god-like sort of view of himself, but has not gone as far as to find himself to own some sort of prince-title which he never inherited.
- Self-centered—Zhar, trying to break the habit of being self-centered, decided to donate 10 million credits the following day to a charity. He never did. Instead, he bought the Devonshire and the Somerset. His self-centered trait is one of the most dis-likable traits about him. Zhar always wants to talk about what he has at the dinner table, and will always start conversations by bragging about what he owns.
- Superficial—Lets put it this way, if you try to hint something to Zhar Bacredi, he will never get it. Ever. He can never comprehend what is extremely obvious, always to the ire of the ones that are around him.
- One-way—Zhar always enacts the "my way or the highway" scheme of things. He will never accept any other opinions other than his own. If some one tries to suggest something that is arguably better, he will never hear it. Even if he knows the idea is better than his own, he would use his own idea to spite the suggester.
- Impatient—impatient is not even a word to describe how annoyed Zhar gets when things are not done quickly. He likes things to be done quickly and quietly, not be drawn out for a huge debate. He wishes all governments to have as little bureaucracy as possible, and has always worked to lower taxes and the amount of people in goverment.
- Incorruptible—the only reason Zhar has never thought about taking a bribe was because he already had enough money to begin with. No one ever approached him to attempt to blackmail him because he is not a party goer, and women have absolutely no interest in the stink of a man that Bacredi is.
Views
- Women Serving in the Military—Bacredi, before joining the army, had a strong feeling of hatred towards the women that tried to join the armed forces. But, when Bacredi joined the army, all of this changed—when he joined RAIDERS Squad, both his SL and ASL were women, and they fought like any other man on the battlefield. They won Bacredi's respect on and off of the battlefield.
- Large Military—Bacredi supports a large military of both naval vessels and ground forces. Though, it does not reflect his history as Naval Training Officer because he was not able to pull the numbers in to make the par. When he joined the Vast Empire Intelligence, he began stating his opinions of a large armed forces and the need to be less slack on some of the planets. He later left the Vast Empire Intelligence.
- Different Races Serving in the Military—Bacredi despises other races that can not speak Galactic Basic that want to serve in the military, with an exception to Wookiees and Aqualish. He does not feel that their service in the military is needed, as the humans and other "sentient" lifeforms could most likely control all of the military. However, many aliens that do not speak Galactic Basic has moved up in ranks and positions. Outside of the military he is fine with them, and his only reason for despising them in the military is the fact that relaying orders is close to impossible.
- Education on Vast Empire Planets—"The only way to expand is to expand our intelligence."—Zhar Bacredi. Bacredi—as Chief of Staff of the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Deputy Naval Training Officer, and Naval Training Officer—made the navy's routine harder. Yet, few recruits pulled in—showing that his "everyone should be educated" doctrine did not always work and frustrated many men.
- The Economy—Bacredi, at the University of Tadath, studied the economy under a few professors. Bacredi had begun to learn that the economy affects the money that he so rightfully clings onto, and that he needs to use the stock markets and the economy to keep the money high—or else he would lose a large amount of hard earned cash. Zhar feels that if the economy fails, the entire active military will fail and eventually push into the New Repulbic's or Thrawn's requests.
- Politics—Bacredi has been interested in politics since age one. He ran for Lieutenant Mayor (Deputy Mayor in many areas of Lianna) of St. Faol, with his brother, James Bacredi at his side as running mate for Mayor. They lost, however, and it set Bacredi off from that track. He feels that the politicians will keep the worlds together while either the economy and military fail. The Lianna Government Politics is something that Bacredi is very interested in, as he is related to a incumbent Representative and an incumbent Mayor of Lianna. While the family has previously had another representative, a Governor, a Lieutenant Governor, a Minister of the Treasury, and a Parliament Member.
- The New Republic and Thrawn—The New Republic, as viewed by Bacredi, is a democracy that failed. Even though James Bacredi—Bacredi's brother—works for an independent New Republic Government (Lianna) as a mayor, Bacredi feels that the New Republic failed as it began to conquest into other worlds (Coruscant, Mon Calamari, etc) and attempted to take over many other worlds. Thrawn is Bacredi's dream of an Imperial Government.
- The Vast Empire's 'Expansion Method'—Bacredi believes that the method the Vast Empire is using to expand themselves is going quickly and efficiently. He has never raised any complaints about it with anyone. He would, however, wish they would cut off the supply lines to Coruscant—the New Republic's capitol—and then build up their naval and ground forces to invade.
- These Damn Remotes!...Technology—Bacredi loves technology—he lives around it. He thinks that the Vast Empire Engineering Corps should be renewed and be full of engineers that would help all of the armed forces of the Vast Empire created a new and more improved technological advance of the Vast Empire. He practically thinks that some technology nowadays is a little too out of reach and shouldn't of been made.
- Blaster Rifles or Projectile?—Bacredi prefers projectile rifles in most situations, his pistol of choice is a projectile. But, in some close combat situations, Zhar prefers a blaster rifle at his side due to the large amount of repeating cells that could be renewed using technology from the Vast Empire. Sometimes a projectile would run out of ammo too quickly for his liking.
- Currency—This is tied in with Bacredi's 'Economy Views'—he has invested his 60,000,000 (sixty million) Imperial Credits Currency to 80,000,000 (eighty million)—Bacredi's net worth has not been found out yet—into the overly stable Vast Empire Imperial Credit. Though, Bacredi has invested 1,000,000 Imperial Crecdits into the New Republic Credit, which is about 2,000,000 New Republic Credits.
- Vast Empire Navy & Army—Bacredi is a former member of the navy and used to like it very much, this all changed when the officers turned on each other. Bacredi resigned after a heated argument with many of the naval members, therefore, he believes the navy is full of many strong, smart people but they are a little over their own heads at times. While, the army has many people, and Bacredi couldn't possibly meet all of them. He merely stays with RAIDERS Squad, some of WildCard Platoon, and a few other men from other squads. They have an annual poker night.
- Starfighter Designs Nowadays...—Bacredi is by far the most invested person of RAIDERS Squad in the new TIE-Class models. He particularly likes the Scimitar Class Assault Bomber (which isn't a TIE due to the fact that it doesn't have dual engines, but it technically is still considered part of the line). At the academy, he trained with X-Wings, A-Wings, TIE Starfighters, TIE Starfighter Bombers, and TIE Starfighter Interceptors.
- Modern Architecture—Bacredi loves the architercture of Lianna—a world with approximately 6 billion people inhabiting it. Other architecture isn't his favorite, such as the architecture of Duro and Tatooine. He also loves the architecture of Denon and studied at the University of Denonfor a Bachelor's Degree in architecture after he flunked after the Law Wing of the University of Denon.
- Fashion—Bacredi keeps up with the latest fashion of suits, though he isn't fond of this new type of 'one piece' suit, wher you don't have a shirt, a jacket, or pants. Instead, you have a jacket tied into the shirt that is tied into the pants (you get into it via buttons). Though, he believes that the fashion is taking a right turn after the cheesy Alderaniaan style finally faded from existence.
- Family Values...Wait What's That?—Bacredi doesn't even KNOW what the words 'family values' are. When asked by a friend what they were, he responded by saying "690 million Imperial Credits"—a remark at his family's net worth. He doesn't spend time with his Brother—James—or his sister. He especially hates his brother-in-law, Eric Driscoll, who is Lisa's husband and whom Bacredi and Tyr denounced.
- Owls—Everyone is fond of owls.
- Bacredi Family Shipping Corporation—The Bacredi Family Shipping Corporation (commonly abbreviated 'BacCo) was founded by Bacredi's father—Brion. Brion used his inheritance to make the shipping corporation large, but after his death, it went into Zhar's hands. Zhar—who had no major interest in such—gave the wings to Tyr Bacredi and then took on the role of Vice Executive. He believes that BacCo is full of corrupt officials and needs to be purged.
- Dantooine & Raegent Political Parties—Bacredi is a proud supporter of the Conservative Government of Dantooine Party (labeled as Conservative) and gives regular campaign donations to the governor of the planet and the mayors of many of the cities. While Bacredi was on Raegent, he gave the Imperial Part of Raegent a large campaign donation. This was taken as an act to help add 'Imperialism' to the planet, something that many people have been trying to do for years. Raegent's House and Senate all are full of the Imperial Party's representatives and senators, while there are many other party's vying for power.
- His Own Starships—Bacredi likes to keep his starships up-to-date, full of new weaponry and sensors, etcetera. He loves the fact that his starships were given to him by his father, and they still hold a lasting legacy of him on all of the ships. However, he views some of the crewmen on some of the ships as incompetent and daft, and they should be released. But as doing so would probably make most of the ships inoperable due to the amount of crewmen it takes to keep one ship in space at a time, and would be too risky.
- RAIDERS Squad—Bacredi's cousin, Andar 'Gaz' Bacardi (Bacardi-Bacredi families are closely related) was the ASL of RAIDERS Squad. Though, it was just coincidence that Bacredi and his team of Vast Empire Intelligence spooks (the team ws codenamed 'Dorn') met up with RAIDERS Squad that fine day. Bacredi—after almost blowing the heads off of RAIDERS Squad, and them blowing the heads off of Dorn Team, realized that it was time to leave the Vast Empire Intelligence. He left the agency and asked for a transfer into RAIDERS Squad, and they accepted him with open arms. He believes that the combat ability of RAIDERS Squad is above par, and they can outmaneuver any other squad.
- Vast Empire Intelligence—Bacredi is a large supporter of the intelligence sect of the Vast Empire, as he used to be a part of it. He believes that they are able to supply intelligence for the Vast Empire to move forward in their plans for expansion.
- Lianna—Lianna, in Bacredi's opinion, is one of the few Systems that recognizes a good form of government. Bacredi supports the dictatorship of the Vast Empire because it is necessary to win the war effort, and he supports the republic of Lianna because it is what the people there want.
- Wraith Squad—Wraith Squad was Bacredi's last squad in the vast empire, and he was under Ron and Anival Velasquez, where they served in many campaigns together. Bacredi's favorite part of Wraith Squad was their utter devotion to the Vast Empire and how they handled tough situations.
- The Pen is Mightier than the Sword—That famous quote is scratched onto one of Bacredi's desk drawers, etched in by its previous owner. Bacredi likes to follow that rule of thumb for all he can do, and he tries to settle almost all matter diplomatically. As he doesn't have a License to Search, Seizure and Detaining, like he did in the Vast Empire Intelligence, he attempts to settle almost all matters with money and words. But, if the pen bursts, then the use of the sword becomes much, much easier.
- Bilingual—Bacredi thinks that knowing more than one language is extremely important. Bacredi is fluent in Basic (obviously) and is fluent in Huttese and knows droidspeak as well (though he can't speak it...no one but droids can). He is not the smartest person with languages but he can still get around.
Family Ships
(ranked in order of acquiring)
Bacredi himself has no ships, but his family does. They all use the ships together, and Zhar is a huge user of them.
Devonshire
- Captain of the Watch: James Say, a local of Denon, was born thirty two years ago. He had a early invitation to the Naval Life, serving at the local ship port. When he met up with Zhar Bacredi at an early age (twenty five), they both have kept contact since. But three years ago when Zhar Bacredi decided he wanted to start up a small trading flotilla, he went to James Say first—and Say became the Captain of the Watch for the Devonshire. He is the second in command of the Devonshire, a straight shot with a pistol, and an adequate fighter pilot. He almost always resides in the bridge, he loves the sound the ship makes. He even had his quarters be moved near the bridge for a quick response time. He carries a Mynock Q33 and sometimes a Borning High Power.
- Head of Security: Charles Robinson is the Head of Security for the Devonshire, he currently commands all security operations within the Devonshire. A strong willed man from the Epsilon System, Charles Robinson was recruited by Zhar Bacredi to join the Devonshire a few years back. Since then, Robinson has hand picked every member of the security staff for the CMF Devonshire and has also helped the members of the Aegis Weapons and Targeting System. Robinson is good friends with Bill Tanner, Geoffrey Roebuck, Zhar Bacredi, and many other members of this small trading flotilla. Robinson's weapon of choice (like most other members of his security staff) is the Mynock Q33, the Mynock Q33 is considered a "small belly" gun but makes up for such with accuracy and the ability to easily attach a silencer. He sometimes leaves the ship to go get supplies or head up a bounty in his free time, nothing but that.
- Head of Starfighter Control: Gregory Milan is a Caucasian human male from Hecter VI. He was recruited by Geoffrey Roebuck after a few terrorist attacks at Hecter VI, which caused Milan to want revenge for these attacks (which had claimed the lives of his family). He didn't find such revenge in the trading flotilla, though. However, he did find adventure and a change of friendship with all the crew. Milan dislikes Bacredi, thinking him as one of the "arrogant men from the west". Bacredi doesn't mind, though, and thinks that Milan is a competent man. Milan directs almost all starfighter activity in the Devonshire, allowing ships to enter and leave.
- Head of A.W.T.S.: The Aegis Weapon and Targeting System isn't just a computer, it is thirty-seven computers (all with several monitors) in the hull of the Devonshire. The burden of the Aegis Weapon and Targeting System control center falls under the hands of Gregory Fall Brown, a man of fourty-three. He was born on Coruscant fourty-three years ago to two unlawful parents that later got themselves killed after not paying bounties (this was at the age of 19 for Brown). Brown then began to smuggle and learn more and more about technology, he eventually befriended Geoffrey Roebuck who recruited him into the trading flotilla. After a year or two of experience aboard the ship, he became the AWTS Director. His stress levels are high every day, and with that, he takes multiple medications, and knows multiple languages. He also knows how to re-code the AWTS Coordinate Satellite from scratch... which took him years to figure out. But doing such a thing would take him months.
The RAF Devonshire is one of the five capital ships in use by Zhar Bacredi. It is a Bothan Assault Frigate. The Devonshire is part of a small trading flotilla that runs around Vast Empire Space and make port in the Epsilon System.
- Girangofold Ter58: The Girangofold Ter58 high-output ion turbine engines are incredibly fast, expensive... and always in need of repairs. They can travel for about four years until they need to be decomissioned in place for the new engines, Bacredi dreads the day that he will need to replace his Girangofold Ter58 high-output ion turbine engines. These engines were manufactured by the Girangofold Ter Company and then sold through the Imperial Center Store in the Core (under a shell name) to the trading flotilla.
- Weapon Complement: Bacredi hasn't modified the weapons on the Devonshire (except for them to fit under the AWTS system). There is still 12 Turbolaser cannons, 10 Laser cannons and 6 Proton torpedo launchers.
The Devonshire boasts a multitude of starfighters:
- V-19 Torrents: The Devonshire boasts twelve V-19 Torrents (Steel Squadron). Steel Squadron is commanded by Ron Tamas, they fly into battle when needed, but they don't fly into battle that often. They have a few formations, but nothing from that.
Somerset
- Captain of the Ship: Geoffrey Roebuck, captain of the Somerset is a stubborn, impatient, womanizing, and most of all—genius. He was born on Somerset III fifty-five years ago to two parents that raised him in their apartment. He later attended the University of Charblix VI and joined the Vast Empire Navy. Eventually working his way up to Lieutenant Commander, Roebuck was way past the retiring age for his type (squadron commander). He retired at age fourty five. He then joined Bacredi's little flotilla and was given the chance to name his very on ship. He named the ship Somerset in honor of his homeworld.
- Captain of the Watch: The Captain of the Watch is one Mystiq Rangerford. He is currently thirty three and was raised on Denon (even though he was born on Hecter III). He attended the University of Tadath, and like Roebuck joined the Vast Empire Navy. He moved up to the rank of Warrant Officer and was forced to retire after a crash landing rendered his piloting skills obsolete. He later joined Zhar Bacredi's little trading flotilla under Roebuck.
- Head of Security: Al Tanner was born on Coruscant forty years ago with his brother, Bill Tanner. He currently has one of the best shots with a Mynock Q33 in the flotilla. Though he has never discharged it while he has been with the flotilla, he always keeps it at his side. Tanner is rumored to have some of the tightest security in the flotilla, not leaving a stone un-turned in every inspection they have to do on all transport crates. He is able to fly a starfighter, but barely.
- Head of Starfighter Control: The Somerset has 12 spaceworthy and battleworthy TIE Fighters. along with this, two shuttles come in and out of the Somerset delivering supplies, trading down to the surface, etc. And to monitor this, is Kidon Pitt. He is a smart man with Denonian descendency, he is a good friend of Roebuck and the rest of his command cabinet.
- Head of A.W.T.S.: The AWTS on the Somerset is headed by Etan Grangerford. He is a shallow, shy, and inconsiderate man with a knack for battle and navigation.
The Duke-Class (Type 23) Somerset is a ship part of the trading flotilla of Zhar Bacredi. The Somerset is currently commanded by Geoffrey Roebuck and his command cabinet. The Somerset makes port in Somerset III of the Somersetshire System, they were named for Somerset, a gas giant.
- Girangofold Ter58: The Girangofold Ter58 high-output ion turbine engines are incredibly fast, expensive... and always in need of repairs. They can travel for about four years until they need to be decomissioned in place for the new engines, Bacredi dreads the day that he will need to replace his Girangofold Ter58 high-output ion turbine engines. These engines were manufactured by the Girangofold Ter Company and then sold through the Imperial Center Store in the Core (under a shell name) to the trading flotilla.
- Weapon Complement: Roebuck hasn't modified the weapons on the Somerset (except for them to fit under the AWTS system). There is still 12 Turbolaser cannons, 10 Laser cannons and 6 Proton torpedo launchers.
The Somerset has a multitude of starfighters:
- TIE Fighters: The Somerset boasts twelve TIE Fighters (Avenger Squadron). Avenger Squadron is commanded by Reese Grangerford, they fly into battle when needed, but they don't fly into battle that often. They have a few formations, but nothing from that.
St. Albans
- Captain of the Ship: The Captain of the Ship is Adeon Roebuck, who is the youngest of three boys. He is a cousin of Geoffrey Roebuck and was born on Taris fifty seven years ago. He learned flying from his cousin but never really was interested in such things. He was always interested in the sound of a capital ship, so he took his family honor with him and applied for a scholarship at the University of Tadath. They accepted him with a full ride and he learned the logistics division. He was later approached by his cousin to be the captain of the St. Albans
The St. Albans is a CR90 Corellian Corvette that is in service with the flottila of BacCo. Made some ten years ago by the Denonian Engineering Corporation, the St. Albans was imediately bought by Zhar Bacredi and put into service with his father's flotilla. After his father's demise at the hands of the Empire, Zhar took over the St. Albans as a ship.

Invincible
- Captain of the Ship: The captain of the Invincible is John Devon. John Devon was once the captain of the Bedford, before the RAF had bought the Invincible. Once the RAF bought the Invincible, Devon was chosen for the command and his XO, Donald Rumpfeld took his place as Bedford's commander. Devon made the Invincible's hangar bay—which only fit 12 fighters—to be modified to fit 24. Once that was finished, the Invincible set out of drydock which was at Epsilon, and headed for the unknown.
- Executive Officer: The only ship that actually calls for an executive officer because of it's size, the XO of the Invincible is James Davenport. Davenport was born thirty years ago on Tadath, and was recruited by Roebuck.
- Captain of the Watch: The captain of the watch for the Invincible is Hunter Williams.
The Invincible is a Hammerhead-Class Carrier / Cruiser, and the tenth version of such. The carrier has been modified with better weapons, but still retains the four tractor beams that helps the Invincible pull in stray starfighters and starships. The hangar bay of the Invincible can fit 24 fighters (in racks) comfortably. There is also room for one shuttle, or airspeeders.
The Invincible has a multitude of starfighters:
- TIE Fighters: The Invincible has 12 battleworthy TIE Fighters. The TIE Fighter squadron is named Banshee Squadron, and is commanded by Cole Mancuso.

- Zebra-Class Snubfighters: Sentinel Squadron is the name for the squadron of Zebra-Class Attack Snubfighters. The snubfighters have been modified to have a hyperdrive, and the laser cannons are more powerful now as well. Sentinel Squadron is fit to take on many targets. Sentinel has 6 formations: Arrow, upside-V, double-line, moving-and-connecting V, attack formation, and defensive formation.
Iron Duke
- Captain of the Ship: First Lieutenant (Ret.) Jonathan "Jack" Priors is a stubborn, genius, book smart, and imposing man. Born Jonathan Priors to Jack and Jennifer Priors on Coruscant 43 years ago, Priors has learned to blend in on many worlds such as Coruscant. After spending multiple years in the tactical section of Naval Intelligence, Priors transferred to the navy and accepted the lowly rank of Senior Crewman. He stayed in the Vast Imperial Navy for seven more years, eventually commanding the 67th Offensive Squadron.

R.A.F.
- For the larger and more detailed article, please visit the Royal and Allied Flotilla page.
| “ | The Royal and Allied Flotilla — usually christend 'R.A.F.' was founded eight years ago when Brion Bacredi was taken by the hands of the Empire. He left many ships to his son, and their pennant — the CMF — was dissolved with Brion's legacy. Geoffrey Roebuck — a former CMF captain — and Jack Priors — a friend — helped Zhar found the shipping flotilla. | ” |
| —Captain Kole, R.A.F. | ||
The Royal and Allied Flotilla is the successor to the CMF, and is a shipping flotilla that receives crates upon crates of shipping material and ships them to their destination under heavy protection. The R.A.F. has a large reputation for working with BacCo and other organizations that do not have such protections. The R.A.F.'s board has Zhar Bacredi (CEO), Geoffrey Roebuck (CFO), and Jack Priors (CSO) — along with many other men that formerly worked with the CMF. The R.A.F. has thirty-plus ships, and over one hundred fighter-escorts.
All ships under the R.A.F. banner has the designation of "RAF" in front of the ship's name (Example: RAF John Doe). The R.A.F.'s fleet is composed into two forces: Main Escort Force and Main Assault Force, led by the Invincible and Devonshire respectively. The fleet has a large number of Assault Frigates (Devonshire, Bedford, Somerset, and Iron Duke) which are used to search areas of destination for the Main Escort Force. The Main Escort Force uses gunships and corvettes for protection. Subdivisions of both forces are the Intelligence Task Force and the Fleet Air Arm (FAA).
The R.A.F.'s predecessor — the Controlling Manifest Force — was created two years before the Battle of Yavin. And it was dissolved (as per Brion's will) after the Battle of Endor, due to Brion's death. After this, Zhar Bacredi (the inheritance of all the ships) created the R.A.F. with an old friend — Geoffrey Roebuck — and Roebuck's assistant, Jack Priors. Roebuck became the Chief Financial Officer, in charge of the vast holdings of the company. Priors was put as Chief Shipping Officer, who was in charge of the shipping arrangements of the company.
The flotilla quickly became larger as it attracted more ships with a higher value than other corporations. Roebuck used the funds available to him and began to liquidate the funds and put them largely into stocks. Roebuck — a former banker — was able to calculate the stocks and they soon peaked over 50 percent. He sold half of the stocks and showed Bacredi the progress — they had reached the amount of credits that they had started with. Bacredi was busy with others things, however, and he congratulated Roebuck without realizing the importance of what he had done.
The stocks soon peaked 100 percent and Roebuck sold them all, and as Bacredi noticed this he thanked Roebuck immensely (with 50,000 ICs) and soon began to purchase more ships. At this time, the R.A.F. had the Devonshire and seventeen other transports with two squadrons. He moved the squadrons out into three wings: Red, Gold, and Blue Wings with many squadrons. Red Wing — Red, Gray, and Yellow Squadrons. Blue Wing — Blue, Green, and Coral Squadrons. Gold Wing — Gold, Opaque, and Royal Squadrons. They were able to purcahse a large amount of freighters at this time as well.
Equipment
Delta-Class Aeithisphere:
Bacredi bought his Delta fighter a year ago, and it has show little use. But half a year ago Bacredi found some reason in the fighter's capability, adding a hyperdrive and upgrading the fighter beyond the maximum. The rear Ion Engines were upgraded with a power cell that could move as fast as a standard TIE Interceptor, and then the two front blaster cannons were upgraded with Xe-918B Blaster Cells. Then during Sovern's Grandma's Crisis the fighter showed continued use, and it even helped Bacredi when he escpaed the planet of Denon.
Eta-2 Interceptor:
Bacredi's Eta-2 Interceptor is a remnant ship from the Clone Wars. Bacredi at the Imperial Center in the Core Worlds bought it. Bacredi has upgraded it with a hyperdrive which made it a bit heavier than it should be, but it also gives Bacredi a hyperdrive. Bacredi flew it to Nar Shaddaa to with R4-P16 and down to the Imperial Wing of Nar Shaddaa, that is were he met Jost Jati for the first time. During a fight Bacredi was pinned down by two Zabraks, and his two guards and his personal banker was killed by blaster fire. This lead to Sicario being there and helping Bacredi get out of a tough spot. Bacredi then went on to fight in Operation: Iron Sweep with Kaph Squadron and then transferred to Viper Squadron to meet up with Sicario and some other friends in the First Vast Imperial Fleet. Bacredi would later go on to fly this beautiful ship on many occasions, the Delta-7 and the Eta-2 would be used on many occasions, and they would be on many missions for the Tarisien Navy and other mercenary groups.
Droids:
The Bacredi family has a huge selection of astromech and protocol droids, somewhere around 200 droids combined. Bacredi's favorite droids are R4-P9, a simple R4 unit that he uses with his Eta-Class Starfighter, R5-D9, a droid that he uses to repair his luxury speeder, R6-D2, a droid that he brings on his transports when he is flying them alone, R3-O3, a droid he uses in the Devonshire's hangar bays. All of his droids are stationed in the Bacredi Family Compound on Sheffield Island, Lianna, and all have their own charging stations and receive scheduled maintenance every week.
TC-5K8, dubbed Teecee is a silver TC Protocol Droid owned by Zhar and is accompanied by R5-D3.
R5-D3 is a R-5 Series astromech, owned by Zhar Bacredi. R5 is accompanied by TC-5K8. Manufactured on Unglium's Droid Manufacturing plants R5 is about 4 years old, and has served in countless battles since his 'birth'.
Weapon of Choice:
Facts:
- Bacredi obtained this weapon when he entered the Vast Empire Naval Intelligence.
- Many of Bacredi's companions used this weapon, such as members of the:
- Devonshire,
- Somerset,
- and the St. Albans.
When Bacredi is unable to have his Mynock Q33, he uses a backup weapon that is usually in his briefcase.
Modified Tropov:
- "Heavier and less powerful than traditional semi-automatics and the other IvP-18, the modified version of the IvP-18 Tropov machine pistol compensates with an additional burst fire mode and a drum magazine for increased [yet at the same time, decreased] ammo capacity."
- ―Weapons manufacturer, Denon[src]
Bacredi picked up a modified IvP-18 Tropov Machine Pistol on Denon. He had ordered five Mynock Q33 Silent Slugthrowers for his ship but in return he got these pistols. The company that made the weapons had modified the weapons and they were military grade, but the gun has a few defects as well. The gun is able to take a silencer, and can use one well, hushing almost every noise that comes out of the pistol. Bacredi's fellow former agent, Andar "Cursed" Bacardi uses a modified Tropov as well. This weapon had never come into full production, as there were a few flaws in it.
The modified IvP-18 Tropov has a clip of 190, while the average Tropov has a clip of 200. This was modified for a better feeling on the grip of the handgun so you could easily aim.
Modified StA-55 LAR:
The modified (barely, just the stock) StA-55 LAR Assault Rifle is the main rifle used by Zhar Bacredi. The weapon has semi, single, and full automatic modes. The StA-55 can also hold a silencer and a grenade launcher, even though Bacredi barely ever uses the grenade launcher, the silencer is constantly in use. While this weapon doesn't fit in Bacredi's suitcase, it is commonly found in Bacredi's luxury speeder.
The StA-55 LAR has a clip of 320, a slightly decreased amount.
StA-67 Submachine Gun:
The StA-67 Submachine Gun is currently a weapon that Bacredi barely ever uses. The submachine gun currently has three modes: single shot, semi-automatic, or full automatic. The StA-67 submachine gun currently has a clip of 300, and can fire at a heavy rate for a long time. The StA is currently in use by the security forces of Reach II. Bacredi acquired the rifle when he joined the Vast Empire Intelligence.
Field Com:
Bacredi's field com is a wireless device capable of communicating with planets hundreds of thousands of light years away. The field com was commissioned to him by Vast Empire Intelligence. It is capable of reading fingerprints (from the Vast Empire Intelligence database), shocking a human being with 2,000 volts of energy, controlling a local Vast Empire Intelligence field camera, and practically pick locks. The field com can be seen on Bacredi's waist in his holster.
Bacredi's M66:
- "An effective assassination and CQB (Close-Quarters Battle) weapon, the M66-SD submachine gun is fitted with a sound suppressor and a telescopic sight. The high-temperature alloy construction of the suppressor keeps the weapon silent in full-auto fire mode, although single shots allow for better cooling and increased accuracy."
- ―Imperial Center Store.
Bacredi—along with RAIDERS Squad—constantly uses a M66 "Silent Death" Submachine gun. Bacredi, who had overcome his dislike for such small and versatile weapons, loves this gun for it's ability to kill a man silently.
Lung Blasters:
Lung Blasters are mild narcotics that can be ignited and smoked for the purposes of relaxation. The Navy supplies Lung Blasters that contain chemically treated portions of dried vegetation rolled inside of a slender paper shaft. Typically, smokers place one end of the cigarra at the tip of his or her mouth and ignite the opposing end. From there, they inhale the burning substance directly into their lungs and exhale a cloud of smoke. Lung Blasters are extremely popular in in the Stormtrooper Corps, and less in the Navy. Zhar barely ever smokes, though.
Briefcase:
A man with many things to carry: pistols, credit chips, body parts, ammo, paperwork, and many other vital things to Zhar's survival. And to carry all of that is Bacredi's briefcase. The briefcase sports two molds for Bacredi's pistols (most likely his modified Tropov and his Q33), along with two smaller molds for the silencers. While the molds take up half of one side of the briefcase, the other half has a holo-computer hidden in it. When you open the briefcase and press a small, circular button, the computer will prop up. The computer has many quirks with it. On the other half of the briefcase is many paper holders, document scanners, and fingerprints. There is also a communication receiver inside.
The history behind the briefcase is simple, it was given to him as a gift when entering the Vast Empire Naval Academy. After this, he retrofitted it with the molds, had the techs make the holo-computers, and had some random person make the rest.
Zisparanza Luxury Speeder:
Bacredi has a Zisparanza Luxury Speeder for his own personal use. The driver—either a droid or a government official—is usually going from building to building.
Uniform:
Bacredi wears a crisp gray uniform, and is almost always formal when in the presence of his commanders... at least in uniform.
Bacredi really has nothing special about his uniform, except when the cloth stretches over diagonally over his chest, there is an easy slip for Bacredi to reach into. By move reach, it is a place for Bacredi to easily reach for his pistol. While he also wears suspenders to support the holster. Bacredi wears a shoulder holster almost all the time, his uniform was specialized so.
S-5 Heavy Blaster Pistol + Ascension Gun:
- "Produced by Theed Arms, the S-5 was in use by the Clone Wars by members of the Royal Naboo Security Forces. Since then, it has been developed into a state of the art weapon that will be around for ages."
- ―S-5 Manual
Bacredi—who doesn't neccesarily have an eye for blasters—found one he liked. The S-5 is an ascension gun equipped with a dart launcher. The blasts it fires are deadly accurate and Bacredi barely uses this, but he probably will in the future. The S-5 heavy blaster pistol is a versatile weapon with a heavy wooden gripstock and twin scopes for sighting and rangefinding. The S-5 also featured a dart launcher underneath the main barrel, able to fire either an anesthetic microdart or a grappling hook tip. The latter was used in conjunction with a liquid-cable shooter attachment; a quick customization that turned the S-5 pistol into a durable ascension gun. The cable reservoir held enough liquid to form twenty meters of cable, and the spike launcher itself cost around 50 Imperial Credits.
Datapad:
- "Sleek enough to slide under a door and light enough to not float in the air like a piece of paper, the X0-9I datapad is the newest item from Arch-Sektra Technologies, it comes fit with data recognition, two terabytes worth of information, facial recognition software, a camera, navigation tools for over nine hundred thousand planets, and all the travel tips that you would ever need for your datapad."
- ―Arch-Sektra Spokesman.
The X0-9I datapad is a datapad with facial recognition software and intense navigation abilities. It goes into Bacredi's briefcase or side bag since it doesn't fit in his pocket. It is able to zoom in on almost any land feature on any planet (it has over 900,000 maps of different planets) and it can read the whereabouts of about any public figure that you ask for by monitoring press circles simultaneously. It can also access about any channel you want for your services, required that you have the password and can surf the holonet as well. This item is the future in technology for the datapad and will be selling en masse soon enough.
Family Members
Mayor of St. Faol James Brion Bacredi is Bacredi's brother, born 2 years after Bacredi. James is the current mayor of St. Faol, a Lianna city with a population of 10,000. James was born the Brion & Nemo Bacredi two years after his brother, Zhar Bacredi, and four year after Lisa Bacredi's birth. James Bacredi almost immediately went after his great grandfather's path—Politics, he was always interested in current events and when his family moved to St. Faol (he was 18 at the time and Zhar had already left), he vowed to be their mayor. He eventually ran for the City Council of St. Faol—which was held by 10 people, and won with funding from Zhar and his parents. Four years of that led to the Mayorship, another thing he ran for. He—along with Zhar as his deputy—lost by 1,000 votes. Zhar went on to become a pilot while James stayed on the city council, still vowing to become mayor. He eventually became mayor, beating the incumbent by over 2,000 votes.
James is described as "the twin of Zhar Bacredi", as he is egoistical, stubborn, and arrogant. James currently has an estimated net worth of 20.9—30.2 Million Credits, taking after the rest of his family as well. Before becoming a councilor, James was the CEO of ShippLianna and Chief of Staff at Bacredi Family Shipping Company. James currently has a wife—Abby Bacredi (formerly Abby Metacaff)—and two kids—James Bacredi, jr, and Brion Bacredi the IV. He takes resident at the St. Faol Mayor's Mansion, and it constantly briefed by his Chief of Staff—his cousin, George H. Bacredi—and the City Council. His current political alignment with the Lianna "Parties" is the Lianna Party of Conservation of the Government. He is the current chairman of the St. Faol Lianna Party of the Conservation of the Government, and is again, assisted by George H. Bacredi. Bacredi's relationship with the rest of his siblings (Lisa and Zhar) is one needing fuel. Zhar is busy with his military assignments and Lisa is busy with her new job.
Chief Contractor Lisa Nemo Bacredi-Driscoll is Zhar and James Bacredi's sister, and currently represents the company DuraFlec in the Galactic Market. Lisa is the oldest out of her three other siblings (First Sergeant Zhar Bacredi, Mayor James Bacredi, and her deceased sister) and was born 2 years before Zhar's birth, and four years before James' birth. Lisa—like Zhar—had a passion for getting things done with force as a child, unlike her more diplomatic brother, James. The first time her grandfather took her out to shoot his pistol gave her a thrill like no other. And that thrill led to her working at the company DuraFlec, a private contracting company...an umbrella for their illegal activities. They are involved in smuggling and trafficking along with bounty hunting and providing escapees with illegal merchandise. Lisa—being a spokesman—has no idea about this, however, and really thinks the company sells windows.
Lisa Bacredi-Driscoll is described by her co-workers as "Impatient and untrustworthy", she is known to fire men and women under her in the company's chain of command on a whim. She always carries a pistol—much like her husband, Erin Driscoll. Erin Driscoll (her husband) isn't liked by the rest of the family (James and Zhar in particular), but is loved by Lisa. Erin works as the Chief Operations Officer at DriscollCorp, a manufacturing company and made an unsuccessful run for the Governor of Reed, a small colony on the outer rim. Driscoll (Erin) has close ties with the criminal organizations of Dazeil—a bounty hunting organization that has had many complaints and suits filed against them—and Adapose, a criminal organization that smuggles spice. The Bacredi-Driscoll's (Lisa has formally taken the name Driscoll in person, but is usually referred to as Bacredi anyway) have a net worth of 10 Million to 15 Million credits, and the entire Bacredi-Driscoll family spent close to 10 million credits on Lieutenant Governor Erin Driscoll on his campaign and Governor Granger's campaign as well.
President Tyr James Bacredi is the President of Operations at the Bacredi Family Shipping Company, and ascended to that post when Zhar Bacredi resigned to join the military and become Vice President of Operations. Tyr Bacredi is the wealthiest member of the Bacredi Family by about ten million credits (in conversion rates). Tyr Bacredi is the twin of Brion Bacredi, and is currently sixty-five years old. Tyr Bacredi is in good contact with James Bacredi—who he gave 20 million credits to help his fundraiser—Zhar Bacredi—who has been in good business contact—and Lisa Bacredi—but he still denies the marriage to a complete and "utter asshole". Tyr Bacredi even gave a very demoralizing speech at the two's wedding (Lisa and Erin Driscoll's wedding), denouncing them. This was, of course, after Zhar and Tyr lit one up and then went in for a couple drinks.
Tyr Bacredi is the most diplomatic of the family...and a very good actor for that. He can shuffle his facial expressions and emotions to seal a business deal. He is the most intellectually valued member of the family, getting a full degree in Business from the University of Denon, and a BA in Politics from the University of Alderaan. Tyr is paid 408,000 Credits per year at Bacredi Family Shipping Company, and is married to Jane Bacredi. Tyr has two sons—George H. Bacredi, who is the campaign manager and Chief of Staff for James Bacredi—and his other son—Niel Bacredi, who is a councilman at St. Faol, replacing James Bacredi after he won the mayor election. Tyr Bacredi supports David M. Bacredi's decision to run for the Supreme Court of Lianna in their up and coming elections, and he has already pledged close to 2 million credits to his campaign and hired a campaign manager for him. Tyr also owns a residence on Lianna to look after the political members of his family.
Chief of Staff George Hubert Bacredi is the current Chief of Staff to his cousin, James Bacredi—the Mayor of St. Faol. Before being Chief of Staff to James Bacredi, George H. Bacredi was the campaign manager for James and the Vice Executive of Security at Bacredi Family Shipping Company, under his father and cousin, Tyr Bacredi and Zhar Bacredi respectively. George Hubert Bacredi is 39 years of age, but he looks much, much older and his age has been estimated at fifty or so in rumours. Though, these rumours where all dissolved as he produced his birth certificate. George Hubert Bacredi ran for both the offices of Councilor, Legislator of Lianna, and Deputy Mayor but never achieved any of those offices due to the fact that his father—Tyr Bacredi—never pledged any credits to his fund.
The Chief of Staff Bacredi has been described as an arrogant yet diplomatic man with smart business solutions and an easy solution to many problems. He donates his pension (30,510 Credits yearly from the Lianna Government) to Charity, as he has a net worth estimated at 17 to 19 million credits from his trust fund set up by both of his parents. George Hubert Bacredi has had a wife and is currently married—Tina Ericson (divorced) was his first wife, but she was killed in a fatal speeder accident. Bacredi got a divorce afterwards. His current wife is Nemo Coleman-Bacredi, and he has two daughters—Hillary Driscoll Bacredi and Laura Coleman Bacredi. Bacredi expressed early interest in the open position of Secretary of State for Lianna, with a high profile from his uncle and cousin. He was appointed for nomination by President Foley, and is set for a confirmation hearing of two weeks.
Chief Operations Officer and former Lieutenant Governor Erin Driscoll was born forty-three years ago to his parents, Hillary Driscoll and Norm Driscoll. He was raised on the planet Reed, where he first met his childhood sweetheart. She (the childhood sweetheart) was later killed in a car accident that tore Driscoll apart, but he later bounced back after a year of exile. He came back wearing a new and nice black suit with blue tie, a new haircut, and he opened DriscollCorp with the money that his parents gave him from his trust fund and their will. His parents had died while he had been in exile of unknown causes. He opened the first store on Reed, and after four years eventually met and married Lisa Bacredi. Bacredi chose to lose her name of 'Bacredi' and changed it to 'Driscoll', though she is commonly referred to as Bacredi.
After being married to Lisa for eight years and accumulating a large net worth in the Imperial Credits, Erin thought it was time to run for an office that would eventually help the planet Reed (Which was falling into decay). He registered under the Conservative Party of Reed and ran for Lieutenant Governor along with James Granger. They won their nomination from the Conservative Party and eventually won a landslide against the incumbent (who let the economy fail). The Granger/Driscoll ticket went on to help stop the economy from faltering and keep the planet in line. They attempted to make the government much smaller, and for the six years (three year terms) that they were in office together, they helped to that. Term limits barred Granger from running again, so it was fit for Driscoll to take his place and run against him. He lost, however, by 350 votes.
Representative Donald Bacredi is Zhar Bacredi's uncle, and Brion Bacredi's older brother. He is also Tyr Bacredi's older brother. Donald Bacredi, unlike his brother, was born on the remote world of Bastion—a large center of Imperial Culture at that time. His parents, however, moved to a more ... democratic, so to speak, world—Lianna. Bacredi, who was fifteen at the time, saw his grand-father elected to the Lianna Representative Congress, which represented to the entire planet. There were 350 seats at the time, but it has since been expanded into over 2,000—to make sure the entire population has a representative and is represented fairly. Donald, at age twenty, started working for the business Merr-Sonn, with connections from his father. By the time Donald reached age forty, he had become a millionaire for working with Merr-Sonn and became a registered member of the Lianna Conservative Party.
Bacredi had been asked by the party chairman to run for the open seat for the district Lona Cranith—which represented Lianna City and the Lianna City metro area. Bacredi was glad to run, and was given funds by his brothers—Brion and Tyr. Bacredi ran on the platform that the conservatives had helped Lianna City in the past (the past eight representatives that represented Lona Cranith were conservative), and that Lianna City had the highest GDP because of it. Donald continued this campaign and eventually won by a large margin over his Imperial opponent. His first three-year term was the easiest of Lianna's history, as it produced prosperity for the planet and many other agriculture and economic advances. Donald eventually considered running for the middle house of the Lianna Congress—the Parliament—as the House of Representatives was the lower house and the Senate was the upper house. But he thought against it, however, and has stayed as a representaive for 20 years. Donald is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, after replacing old Speaker Stennbrack.
Former two-term Representative David Bacredi is Brion, Tyr, and Donald Bacredi's cousin and was born twenty years after Tyr Bacredi and Brion Bacredi were born. David Bacredi, commonly referred to as "Dave" or "Dave ma boy" was born on Coruscant, during his parent's honeymoon. They later left and went back to Lianna—where they lived. Bacredi's father was a three-term city council member for St. Faol, and his mother was a family-woman. Bacredi's mother was killed in a fire to their home along with her husband, David was out of town. David was twenty-three at the time, he is forty now. David had received close to 20 million credits and the family estate...which had a large insurance policy on it. The insurance policy built Dave a new, 7,000 square foot home. Bacredi was also given a small position within the Shipping Corporation that his cousins owned. He also spoke out against Zhar Bacredi being placed in a position of power within the corporation.
Bacredi ran for a term with the island district known as "San Hea Island Ring", which has a population of about 10,000 souls. He easily won with no opposition and represented the district for two terms, after which he went back to the shipping corporation. David Bacredi was genuinely disliked by the people he represented as he kept a large social gap between the poor and the upper class. During his two-year terms, the "middle-class" basically dissolved. He was given a large amount of money by lobbyists and many other people, unions practically hated him. At the time, David Bacredi was the only member of the lowest house to be related to another active and serving member of the lowest house of Lianna. He is related to Donald Bacredi, as a cousin, who was representing the Lianna City district. James Bacredi described the representation of the district as a "Complete failure...an embarrassment to the family." While Tyr Bacredi chose different words, citing that he "Gave the Bacredi family some balls in the upper-classes." Bacredi plans to run for the Supreme Court of Lianna in the upcoming elections.
Governor Norman Bacredi is the Governor of Lancaster, the smallest state in all of Lianna, only have two Representatives for the Lianna House of Representatives. Norman was formerly a member of the Lianna House of Representatives from one of Lancaster’s seat, and was the Senate Majority Leader in the Lancaster Senate. Norm was born on Dantooine to the Bacredi family’s estate there, his parents kept the farm on Dantooine and sold their farm on Handooine, giving them enough funding to buy a home on Lianna. As soon as they got on Lianna, Norm’s father, who is Tyr Bacredi’s brother, received a job at the Bacredi Family Shipping Company as a freighter captain. Norm went to Junior School, and then passed through Lancaster University—where he earned a Master in Political Science. Norman Bacredi's brother was attempting to overshadow him by getting a Master in Mathematics, but Norman Bacredi decided that he should get a head start in his political career and it worked! His parents gave him a much larger sum of money in their will.
When he was only twenty four, Norm ran for the Lancaster Senate. He was easily elected by a supermajority in his district and re-elected three times in a row. When he was thirty-two, he was elected by his peers as Senate Majority Leader—leader of the Lancaster Senate and leader of the Senate Moderate group of Conservatives. A year after his position as Senate Majority Leader ended, when he was thirty-three, he ran for the Lianna House of Representatives and won election there, and then five re-elections later, he ran for Governor of Lancaster. He was forty four by that time and a man in all respects, he ran for the smallest state in Lianna and won election. He chose his executive branch and Board of Governors extremely easily and the people of Lancaster graced him with another term. He is Zhar Bacredi's second cousin. Norman Bacredi's home consists of a thirty acre plot of land and a huge mansion surrounded by thirty different houses. Norman Bacredi's estates on other planets include Handooine, Dantooine, Coruscant, and Tadath.
Senator Dorset Bacredi is the brother of Norman Bacredi, being born three years after him and always living in his shadow. Dorset Bacredi is a member of the Oxford Senate, and ran for Senate Majority Leader three times for his current term. Dorset Bacredi was born to wealthy parents in their estate on Lianna, which was located in Lancaster, a nearby state by Oxford. He and his brother both went to Lancaster University, but while his brother got a Master in Political Science he got a Master in Law and moved on to get another degree from the University of Central Oxford. He struggled at Central Oxford but eventually passed in flying colors, earning himself a Master in Mathematics. He ran for the Oxford Senate a year later and was elected by his district with 56% of the vote. He was a hard-line conservative on many different stances but had a very liberal view on immigration, saying "Immigration will help the growth of Lianna if we have extremely qualified immigrants while emigrating more out..." which made absolutely no sense.
His parents died ten years after his election and by that time he was a hard line conservative, unlike his brother and his second cousin, Zhar Bacredi, both of whom were moderates. He always vowed to prove his parents wrong about him, as they always said how much better his brother was. He still received millions of credits from his parents and built himself a huge mansion on the Coast of Oxford Hashwood Lake. He and his brother barely ever convene because of his resentment of him. He has already donated 5 million of his own money to his campaign for Lianna Senate, which he hopes to win and prove his brother wrong. He ran for the Supreme Court of Lianna ten years ago and lost by thirty thousand votes, being considerably patronized by the Liberal media for his views on the Lianna work-force. He once even proposed the use of slaves as a Lianna work force, but it was after found out that he was drunk. Bacredi seems to always have spills with alcohol and says things that he never usually means to actually say.
Former Territorial Governor and Supreme Justice Bill “Tiger” Bacredi, jr. is the former Territorial Governor of the Territories of Grain and Saint Vincent Islands and a current member of the Lianna Supreme Court. Tiger Bacredi was born on Trottervick, a outer-rim planet where his father was investing in a local business. They all moved back to Lianna as the business went south and they started a business there, Tiger and Company (Tiger’s dad, Tiger, had the same name). The Tiger and Company was a shipping company and it merged with Bacredi Family Shipping Co., which Tiger’s uncle, Brion Bacredi, founded with two of his other uncles. Tiger got a job with the Shipping Company after he had passed through Saint Vincent University, gaining an 3.9/4 ratings on his entire school rating card. A year later he was taken as an intern for a capital hill congressmen and after that he ran for Governor of the Territory Grain.
The Grain Territory, which was all on the mainland, soon merged with 10,000 or so islands known as Saint Vincent. Bacredi ran for the territorial governor during this time and won election in the largely conservative district, he promised change and a new governor that could continue their legacy as a largely resort territory. Ten years after that he left his third term as Territorial Governor and was given a position on the Supreme Court of Lianna, being placed by the Chancellor of Lianna—who at the time was Jorje Lanson. He became the leader of the conservative wing of the supreme court, helping give many decisions to the Supreme Court. During his first tenure they helped quell uprisings in Lancaster Minor, a state in Lianna, with the decision People vs. Lancaster Rebels which challenged the rebels decision to rebel against their government and kill three senators of Lancaster Minor’s Senate.
Chief Justice Jay Bacredi is the Chief Justice of the Lancaster Supreme Court and second Uncle of Zhar Bacredi. Jay Bacredi was born on Handooine, were he still has his birth house, to his mother and father. They soon moved back to their Lianna Estate, which was in Lancaster Minor. His father worked for the Bacredi Family Shipping Co. and before that he worked for Tiger and Co. until the eventual merge with the Bacredi Family Shipping Company. Jay Bacredi went to the University of Frekh-Lancaster-Oxford. He stayed ten years and earned a Master in Mathematics, Master in Political Sciences, and graduated with flying colors and got a Bachelor in Law. He is certified by the Government of Lianna to practice law in every single public and federal courtroom of the state. His parents after they died in a tragic airspace accident and left him their entire estate. He used the money well and inherited three homes.
He ran for Chief Justice of the state of Lancaster, moving in from Lancaster Minor and selling his home there and buying a larger home in Lancaster. He was setting himself up for an eventual Lancaster Supreme Court run, which requires you to live in the state you would be serving on. He had been given close to nine hundred thousand credits and ran as un-affiliated, as the Lancaster State Constitution required. He had no money at the time, and he still barely has any capital to spend on anything. He is poor, but his father—who was a hard worker—left him his entire estate which he lives in. a 10,000 Square Foot piece of property and he really loves it, and he is married to Jan Bacredi, who he married seventeen years ago. After he won election to the Supreme Court of Lancaster he was elected by his peers on the court as Chief Supreme Justice of the Lancaster Supreme Court by a vote of 10-0 due to his degrees and constant practice of the law and the constitution.
President and Pilot Brion Wilson Bacredi was the President of the Bacredi Family Shipping Company and a Rebel Alliance Pilot, who fought in the Battle of Endor. Brion Bacredi was born to Wilson Bacredi and Gabby Bacredi (Zhar's grandparents) on the planet Lianna. Wilson Bacredi was a member of the Parliament of Lianna at the time, representing the Lianna City Metro Area and the districts surrounding it (Since the Parliament represents larger districts and can veto the representatives below them). While Gabby Bacredi was having an affair one night with another man who turned out to be Wilson's best friend, Wilson, overcome with grief, killed himself. Gabby Bacredi went on to leave Brion with the help (as she had recieved a large Life Insurance policy) and left with her boy-toy. Brion hated her for that, and would one day deny her medical help, in which she died. Brion was never investigated for such. Brion enrolled himself at the Lianna Boarding School for Junior Students, which was basically a High School.
Bacredi excelled in his studyies and became Class President, saying that he would help the students become more popular in the Lianna world. There was no way to achieve this, but he was loved by everyone in the school—especially Nemo Bacredi. Nemo and Brion began dating, and they went on to University together. After that, Bacredi started his business—Bacredi Family Shipping Company. They moved to Kuat where they began to start a family—and it started with Lisa Bacredi. Zhar was their second child, and after that was James Bacredi. The company started to grow bigger, and Tyr and Donald (the Vice Executives) began to expand it farther and farther. Donald moved away to Lianna, where he became a Representative. Tyr became President when Brion left, and joined the Rebel Alliance. The Rebel Alliance welcomed him and he flew his X-Wing into the Battle of the Endor. Brion was killed in battle during the Battle of Endor.
Pilot and Housewife Nemo Hoover Bacredi was the wife of Brion Bacredi and the mother of Lisa, James, Zhar, and Laura Bacredi. She was born to a Diplomat and his wife on the planet Lianna, where she soon attended the Lianna Boardng School for Junior Students. Here, she participated in many activities with her future husband, Brion Bacredi. Brion went on to become the Class President, while Nemo was the Class Treasurer. They both went on to the University of Lianna, where they each received a degree in Computer Sciences and Business (Brion and Nemo's degrees, respectively.). Nemo watched as Donald Bacredi (a future representative), Tyr Bacredi (future BacCo President), and Brion (then-founder) founded the Bacredi Family Shipping Company. The Company had a jump-start as it used many techniques by the former shipping companies that were shut down in the Empire's reign. As a convoy of twenty ships left Lianna, Nemo couldn't be happier—ten days later, she wasn't. The transports had been stopped by the Empire and blasted apart by them as well, this pushed both of the Bacredi's to join the Rebel Alliance and put the money in a trust for their children.
They joined the Rebel Alliance and Brion went into frontline action while Nemo stayed back on transports such as Bright Hope. She had a large knowledge in these ships since the Shipping Company had a huge amount of the cheap and fast transports, which helped her weave her way up the command line. She eventually made the rank of Chief Warrant Officer. She flew her first mission, however, during the Battle of Endor. She was part of Yellow Squadron, and as they approached the the Death Star II, she was blasted apart by a huge squadron of TIE Bombers, Interceptors, and Fighters. She was remembered in the ending ceremony along with the rest of the Rebel team, and was never given a full burial with her family due to the fact that her remains were never recovered.
Financial Director Collin Heathrow is the youngest brother of Nemo Bacredi, and the current director of finance at Lord, Shaw, & Beckett Banking Center. Heathrow, like his sister and older brother, attended the Lianna Boarding School for Junior Students. He, after three out of four years that he was supposed to attend, was given permission by the Lianna Schooling Board to skip the final junior year. He was sent off to the University of Denon, were he attended classes in economics, accounting, and finance. His family bought an apartment on Denon for him at the time. He majored in Finance and Accounting at the University, and when he came out of the university he was hired as an intern by Lord Finance Center. Over the next year he began to make drastic changes to the way Lord Finance Center was run, and almost all of the proposals were approved by Jackson Lord IV, the CEO of the company. Heathrow became Deputy Director of Bond Trading Operations soon thereafter. During this time he met his soon-to-be wife, Audrey Stern. After the merger of three firms he became the Financial Director for the Interior Services.
Heathrow lives on a four floor apartment in the Canary Wharf Resident Center. The four floor apartment building is filled with over thirty rooms that complement his family extremely well. There is a four spot garage in the apartment, which holds a Hotrod Style Speeder, the families large speeder, and a Theta-Class Speeder which takes up two spots. Heathrow has two children, James and Alec, 14 and 17 respectively, both of which go to private and prestigious schools on Denon. Heathrow is a devout centrist, and is a strong supporter of the Labour Party—which is a center-left party. His views conflict with that of his brother-in-law's brothers, and his brother-in-law, because they are extremely conservative. The banking center that he works at gives him a lease on another house, which is on Lianna, right next to his nephew, Zhar Bacredi, and is about the same size.
Business Ambassador Andrew Charles Heathrow is the senior business ambassador for the planet of Denon to the Business Administration of the Inner Rim. He, like his siblings, went to the Lianna Boarding School for Junior Students. He went late into his freshman year and graduated early into his senior year, moving onto a gap year where he became an intern at a local magistrate's office. He then attended the University of Lianna, Bedford, and soon began to major in Diplomacy and Technology, both separate subjects. He spent eight years at the university and eventually moved on, and was given a job at the real estate firm Flinn Ferguson (for Daniel Flinn and Parker Ferguson, both managing executives). He began to show his extroverted personality by sealing deal after deal on small time properties, and eventually moved onto mid-sized property stakes. After leaving Flinn Ferguson, he was given a job at the high level firm XenoState, where he eventually rose to the rank of Chief Financial Officer. He was placed as the Business Ambassador soon thereafter by the monarch of Denon.
Heathrow lives in a "neighborhood" of Denon, which is the top of a huge, wide building that is grassy and has one or two homes on it. His home is a huge, five bedroom, three speeder underground garage, and it is also fit with a starfighter landing pad that is covered. His first wife is named Michelle Reppond, and they divorced after talk of adultery. His current wife is Bryn Heathrow, and they have three children: Sam Heathrow, Alex Heathrow, and Will Heathrow (18 years old, 13 years old, and 12 years old respectively). Heathrow is also an advisor at his former Lianna Boarding School, and is on the Board of Alumni for the University of Lianna, Bedford. He is extremely supportive of Donald Bacredi, Zhar Bacredi, and James Bacredi and is an avid conservative supporter, much to the ire of his brother, who is a devout centrist. He has donated much to each of those candidates in many different races.
Earl Hans Heathrow is the second uncle of Zhar Bacredi and his siblings, and the cousin of Nemo Bacredi and the Heathrow Brothers. Heathrow was born into a low key Royal Denonian Family—his father being the Earl of Stockton and his mother beeing a Lord Peeress in the Denon House of Lords. The family at the time was worth an estimated 190 million credits in hard currency, not counting their other houses and stock investments (with estimates that is ranged around 300 million). Hans attended Heathrow Academy, a school that was set up by his family to tutor the rich and spoiled. Hans was considered a brat by his peers and well liked by his inner group. Hans was known for spending thousands of his parents credits on shopping sprees and high end material. On his eighteenth birthday, his father awarded him with a brand new starfighter and a capitol ship—Heathrow's Legacy, a Bothan Assault Frigate. Heathrow edited the Bothan Assault Frigates colors and changed them to an all black look to blend in with the surroundings of space.
Hans parents fortunes didn't fare well with the stock market, however, and his father and mother soon lost an estimated 20 million credits in the stock market in a space of thirty minutes in the most recent crash. His fathers next business venture was to sell multiple other houses around the galaxy—in Stockhokton, Devonshire, Somersetshire, Tadath, and Leston, along with two time shares in Nubia and Corellia. Hans "took it hard"—however hard it could be to lose 5 houses out of your family's 18—and after he went to college at the College of Denon, he began to develop a drinking problem, which was unfortunately hereditary. After he had graduated from his college and passed into the Denon House of Representatives at the age of 25, for which he was the "Baby of the House", but his father and mother soon passed on after they were both exposed to high doses of radiation. Hans had to, by the Royal Law of Denon, retire his House seat and take up his father's seat as the Earl of Stockton and his mother's seat in the House of Lords. Hans continues both of those duties today, and remains un-married.
Ambassador Edward "Ted" Callosity (born Jackson Heathrow) is the second uncle of Zhar Bacredi and the brother of Hans Heathrow, Earl of Stockton. Callosity, much like his brother, went on to the Heathrow Academy where he excelled, and soon joined the Liberal Party of Heathrow Academy—which was, for a lack of a better word, small. The Conservative Party of Heathrow Academy had thirty or so more members than the Liberal Party did. His political views conflicted with his brother's views and his parent's views, both of whom were devout Conservatives. Callosity then left the academy to pursue a college career at the University of Oxfordshire, a college that was on the planet of Lianna. After passing through the college and being offered a job by a high profile law firm, he cut off all ties with his family and legally changed his name from Jackson Heathrow to Edward Callosity. Callosity went on to become Chief of Staff to the Deputy Director of Advertisement at the law firm.
By the time his parents passed on, Ted was a high profile lawyer in the Lianna scene, making an estimated 1.9 million credits a year. He was approached multiple times by Liberal and Labour Party leaders to run for Parliament—which he vehemently denied. He continued to work harder and harder, until he became addicted to pills—which has never been disclosed to the public. He was given a hefty severance package from the law firm once they learned of his addiction, and they also paid for rehab—which he soon attended. After attending rehab and getting clean, Callosity petitioned the Liberal Party to allow him to run for a seat in the Lianna Senate. He was elected to the Lianna Senate in a stunning victory in the former "safe" Conservative Seat. He was subsequently looked at by Chancellor John Crawford, a former Senator himself, to become Ambassador to Denon from Lianna for his Chancellorship. He petitioned Ted to accept, which he eventually did, and Ted was confirmed by a full senate hearing.
Senator David Strathclyde is the second cousin of Zhar, James, and Lisa Bacredi and the second nephew of Tyr Bacredi and his brothers. David Strathclyde was born in the Bacredi Compound forty-one years ago to parents Mames and Millicent Strathclyde—Secretary of State for Northessex and Chief of Staff to the Chancellor respectively. His parents were both notable Conservative politicians and pundits in later life, his mother—Millicent—worked for LBC, the Lianna Broadcasting Company. Strathclyde went to the local Lianna school of 45 students, and was not sheltered like his second cousins were in their early stages. Strathclyde's father and mother both resigned their leadership positions in the Ministry of Lianna to focus of Strathclyde's nomination by ninety other representatives and half the Senate to become Chancellor, he was an early favorite, but was soon beat out by an out-of-the-blue representative: David Portillo. Portillo was able to secure 58% of the House of Representatives, and swayed a fourth of the Senators to vote for him. He became the nominee from the Conservative Party, but soon after the Conservatives lost their slight majority in the house became Leader of His Majesty's Opposition—otherwise known was Minority Leader. Strathclyde's father became Deputy Minority Leader.
Strathclyde's family had been dishonored by his loss, and his parents had lessened their trust fund hold on the family. David by this time had enrolled in high school, and soon passed with flying colors. He enrolled at the Lianna City Military Academy, and was given a degree in Military Science and Technology. He didn't end up going into the military, and instead served in the National Guard of Oxfordshire, a Lianna state. He soon was pushed by his father to run for a Lockton City Council seat, which is a city of about 10 million souls. He ran against the Liberal Party opponent (he was registered as a conservative), and was easily elected. His father soon resigned from the Senate from Oxfordshire, and Strathclyde lobbied to replace him. He was given the party's nomination and was soon elected. Within his first ten years in the Senate, he had been granted the position of Senate Historian and Senate Treasurer, along with the Head of the Senate Ethics Committee and is a former Foreign Minister.
First Lady Abigail Bacredi (born Abigail Metcaff) is the First Lady of St. Faol, Lianna, and the husband of mayor James Bacredi—a Conservative. Abby Metcaff was born to the Earl of Northcalf and Snowbowl in the Royal Rotunda of the Royal Lianna Palace. She grew up amongst royalty, and her father had meetings with the Prince of Esh-Thiel Tan every week to discuss the position of Earl and what the people that he serves (or, in a better explanation, serve him). Metcaff went to the Royal School of the Arts, where she aspired to become a painter and an artist. Her dreams were smashed, however, when her brother moved off the planet to escape prosecution for tax evasion—something a royal title couldn't even stop. She had to watch after the family name and one day let her, or if she was ever married, her husband become Earl of Northcalf and Snowbowl. This buckled a huge amount of pressure under Metcaff, as her previously luxurious and stress-free life had been turned upside down, and now she was moving up and down, worrying about her image and the family's image.
Abby met James Bacredi at a local Conservative Party fundraiser held by her father and the Earl of Westfold Pierton. She described seeing James as "Love at first site—we both kinda clicked, and while he was looking after his little brother [Zhar Bacredi], he was also being extremely kind to me and we ended up seeing each other constantly after that." She ended up marrying James Bacredi and moving to the resort town of St. Faol. James Bacredi was elected councilor under the allied banner of the Conservative Party, which he chose last minute after originally running with the National Congress Party (a farther right-wing party than the Conservative Party). Abby Bacredi—she had just changed her name—convinced her father and her father's friends to donate enough funds to James campaign so he would be able to be easily elected. He was soon elected councilor, and then after failing at a run for mayor, he was elected councilor again. He was elected mayor two years later.
Governor Mark David Metcaff is the current Governor of the Central Bank of Thradshon, and the sister of Abby Metcaff, along with the brother-in-law of James Bacredi. Metcaff was born into privilege, as his father was Earl of Northcalf and Snowbowl, something Metcaff never really enjoyed. Metcaff constantly milled around with his family's servants, something his father described as "ridiculous and embarrassing to the family, thank the Lord no one has found out yet", as he wrote in his personal diary. Metcaff went to a prestigious academy in his younger years, and did modestly—being overshadowed by his sister, Abby, who was two years younger than Mark. Mark received constant B-grade marks, while Abby constantly received A-grade or even above that marks. Mark's father wished to knock some sense in him after he passed through high school, so he made his son attend his Alma matter: the ultra-difficult University of Maffordshire, which accepted about 1,000 students every year. The average cost to go to the school was around 300,000 credits, something his father was more than happy to pay.
Metcaff actually did something good with his life at the University, and still received C to B-grade marks at the university, but those marks were still modestly good for the university. Metcaff graduated a trimester early, where he went on to work at a Lianna Accounting Firm, and then was promoted to a full accountant. He was making minimum wage, and when the tax season came around, he literally refused, up front, to the Lianna Revenue Service, to pay his taxes: in which he was given a warning that if he didn't pay his taxes in 20 days, he would be audited. Absolutely no one knows why he didn't just pay his moderate taxes of 10,000 credits out of his 110,000 credit paycheck, and instead he booked a flight to Thradshon—where his parents had a home—and then set off the next day, emptying out his rented apartment. Thradshon went increasingly well for Metcaff, and he, when he became Director of a major accounting firm, helped steer the government's tax rates down. Thradshon was soon after appointed to the Governors post of the Central Bank.
Chief of Staff Nick Amadeus Strathclyde is the current Chief of Staff to his nephew, Senator David Srathclyde, and a Conservative Party affiliated President of Lianna City, which he withdrew after a series of expense scandals. Nick Strathclyde was born into a family of privilege 58 years ago—his father was a high ranked military official and his mother was a Lianna City Councilwoman, and their family was helped financially by Strathclyde's uncle, who was a Senator in the Lianna Senate and former banking executive. Strathclyde had a rather uneventful early life—he was mildly popular in school, never had any trouble with the ladies, and got modest-enough grades to eventually be accepted into the University of Archite. He performed shoddy in the school, having a 2.015 grade point average, but eventually graduated with full honors and a degree in Political Science—following the long line of people in his family that have received degrees from varying universities for PS.
Strathclyde's father offered no help for him to get a job, saying that "I found one on my own—now you have to!" He forbid his family from offering Nick any financial help, and basically cut him off from the family funds. It was rather strange since his father just signed a piece of paper and was let into the army, so he never really found a job. Nick also immediately found a job, but this time at the Political Consulting Firm Lianna Defense Consult. He quickly moved up the ranks, and within 20 years he had established himself as a master of congressional races and the way to change the races tide quickly. He was chosen by the campaign of Lianna City President Aaron Bloomfield to be a campaign manager. Bloomfield, a Liberal himself, was denied by the Conservative Strathclyde, who instead opted to run for the position himself. Lianna City voters denied Bloomfield another term and granted the next term to Strathclyde. Strathclyde served out a period of unrest in Lianna, and after his resignation was given a spot as his cousins Chief of Staff.
The Bacredi Family Shipping Company is a subsidiary company of Merr-Lek. It was started many years ago by Brion, Donald, and Tyr Bacredi. The BacCo Tower (Building label B1) is the main building for the shipping company. The building has an underground subway transit system, guards patrolling constantly, and many other quirks. The building has many floors, and at the top of the building is were the executives meet. The tower was built close to four hundred years ago, and it was one of the most modern-looking buildings of it's time. But it fell into the pit with the economy, and BacCo was able to buy it for 50 million. They then retrofitted the building with more offices for the executives and cubicles for the others. They then added the subway and moved it around the complex and into other towers. The building came out of despair, and is now prospering to this day.
Bacredi Family Shipping Company also sponsors a rider of Bacredi's choice. The swoop racer goes by the name of 'Claire'. Jeff 'Claire' Jefferson. The rider has a personal four room suite on the Iron Duke, and has a small section of the hangar given to his swoop bike and it's repair crew. Claire is a cocky man that usually has a good record in races, he also pod races when needed. Jeff 'Claire' Jefferson was found by Bacredi when the Devonshire ported into the Raegent System for the first time, he then asked if he could join the crew. He was with the crew for some time until they found out his ability. The chair, or what used to be a respectable one, is headed by Mr. Tyr Bacredi. While Bacredi used to be the overall chairman, Tyr took over after Zhar left. The chair calls the shots on most other things such as building purchases. As Bacredi has the civilian fleet at his disposal, he attempts to keep it hidden. But when he is off duty, he uses the civilian fleet as much as he wants. Since the fleet is practically in his blood, the men are loyal to him as long as he keeps their paychecks high and their worries low.
The Bacredi Family owns a home on Dantooine, commonly called the Bacredi Family Compound. The house is located on Sheffield Island, the location of the compound and the compound alone. The house is on a one hundred and seven thousand acre plot of land. One parcel of the land is devoted to an underground power source – which in turn is matched with an underground complex, fully equipped with a hangar bay and a 12-seat holo chamber, a room for meditation, sleeping arrangements (in small rooms that are part of a large room that is for recreational activities), a prisoner-chamber, and an intelligence-gathering sect.
The original Bacredi Park (not the present Compound, visible on the public road at the entrance to the drive) was built between 42 BBY and 41 BBY as one of a series of small Compounds designed for Brion Bacredi II by Tyr Bacredi I. It was remodeled between 39 BBY and 38 BBY according to designs of Gregory Keppel. It was altered in 37 BBY by Sir John Soane for Duke Clarence Bacredi (later Head of the House), who lived there until 36 BBY. Bacredi Park was subsequently used by Brion Bacredi II, Head of the Bacredi House (which was disbanded), nephew of Governor Masion. The Head added pieces of property between the estate and Dantooine farms; his wife, Mary, continued to live there after his death until she moved out in the middle of 34 BBY. The original house was demolished in 32 BBY.
A new building with 120 rooms was completed in 30 BBY. The 30 BBY census records an equerry and 26 servants living in the main house: a butler, two valets, a cook, three kitchen maids, a page, a porter, a scullery maid, two other junior posts and a soldier. The other domestic staff lived in one of the Compounds. From 29 BBY this was the principal residence of Brion Bacredi III. The house was thereafter the regimental headquarters and depot of the Arthur Family, which it had been sold to by the Bacredi’s who were undergoing a financial crisis. The house was later bought by the Bacredi family. Under the rotunda is the sublevel: the sublevel is where storage chambers are, bedrooms for people the family has invited but doesn’t like, and hologram rooms. At the end of the sublevel is the family archives—it shows everything about BacCo and the family’s holdings, everywhere. The sublevel also holds the protocol and astromech fleet of the family, the droids are usually seen patrolling the area of the sublevel. The sublevel is the largest visible part of Bacredi’s manor, and it also holds an entrance to the underground complexes of the manor.
The underground complexes of the manor—formally known as the “Stronghold”, is where the Bacredi family’s ideals were created. First sought out three hundred years ago by family architect, Liam Bacredi, the plans were buried into the archives after Liam died a few days later in an accident. Tragic. The plans were brought up a couple years later by Mr. Tyr Bacredi the Fourth, and he used his own funds to build it. The stronghold had an underground hangar that was able to open up on the grass plains (where there was turf that looked like grass) and had a freighter for escape, along with close to seventy other rooms and contraptions. Zhar Bacredi lived here as a child up until he joined the military, where he since bought a four room apartment on Tadath.
The Bacredi's Lake Retreat is a joint venture filled by Tyr Bacredi and Donald Bacredi. The island that it is on—Varkyino—was purchased for industrialization by the two as an effort to commercialize Naboo, but brought outright protests from the Naboo people. As a treaty between the two, the Lord of Naboo paid for them to have a full manor constructed on the island under the agreement they wouldn't build anything obtrusive on it. They both accepted, but in the end their idea did not give them a profit and they lost quite a bit of money in the entire circle. They continued to use the area, however, and they each began to donate to the areas surrounding the retreat. The nearby city of Hammerfold has a middle school named after Donald Bacredi, being the Donald Bacredi School of the Performing Arts due to the fact he donated for its development. The home is considered to be a marvel of modern architecture on both Bacredi's home planet of Lianna and many representatives and business leaders are extremely jealous of this home. Tyr and Donald Bacredi are the "Surrounding Lords" of Hammerfold due to their involvement with the area.
The house is lavish in its nature, but most large Naboo homes are. It has Naboo architecture, and under the lake that they occupy there is a small docking bay for a submersible. The inside of the house has wide, open windows and its own staff to accompany anyone and accommodate anything. Shortly after two failed attempts at Minority Leader in the House of Representatives on Lianna, Donald Bacredi used it as a sanctuary. During this retreat, he was accompanied by fellow representatives Matthis (C-Cheshire's 1st) and Georgetown (C-Bedford's 2nd), where they began hatching plans at the Conservative takeover of the House. The three of them came back with the Lianna Signing, something that all Conservative representatives signed and pledged for there to be a large amount of legislation regarding health, tourism, development in rural and urban areas, population, and food shortages in the House if they were elected to majority. They won majority two years later on the coattails of the Lianna Signing and Bacredi was placed as Majority Leader.
The Rentmore Manor is the largest home in Cortha City, Lancaster, Lianna, and is owned by Norm Bacredi. The home was originally built three hundred and fifty years ago right after the entirety of Cortha City—all 6,000 homes and all—burned to the ground. Before the fire, the plot of land that the manor stands on today used to be a prosperous farm. Gustaf Bacredi, at the time a middle-class entrepreneur, immediately bought the land and most of the land around it (including 1/4 of the city's area). He immediately began to sweep the debris off of the land and make it arid once more. After two years of restoration to the acquired land, he built his prize jewel: the Rentmore Manor, named after the Chancellor of Lianna at the time, James Rentmore. The Rentmore manor was a spacious 11,000 square feet, and began to be the seat of Bacredi's farming operations. Gustaf Bacredi turned the entire area around the manor into farmland, and built five sets of barrack-style buildings to accommodate his 400 man workforce.
The manor eventually turned into a seat of power for that side of the Bacredi family, but soon after Gustaf passed on, the family turned into more business and political based work, instead of watching over the farmland. The farm-business soon ended completely with the family when Norm Bacredi IV (Norm Bacredi's, the current owner, great-great grandfather) sold the farmland and its barracks for an estimated 1 to 200 million credits. The estate was simultaneously handed down to Norm Bacredi V, VI, VII, and VIII. Norm Bacredi operates all operations of his gubernatorial administration out of the Rentmore Manor, which has been named by the staff as "Norman's Crash Shack". Norm Bacredi reacted harshly about the name that the staff gave the manor, and suspended anyone that he heard use the phrase.
Jackson House is Bacredi's home. Bacredi bought a four room apartment on Lianna as soon as he was given his first National Guard of the Army assignment—to defend the magistrate. He sold the apartment as soon as the ocean city of Preston Hollow's home sales went into the gutter, and they had just built an entire new neighborhood. Bacredi bought one of the houses for 25,000 ICs and then received a large amount of furniture from his old apartment. He had to buy a lot more furniture, however. The house came equipped with a speeder garage, where Bacredi keeps his AV-21 Landspeeder and his hoverbike. There is also a small array of droids and other computers in the garage as well to help with the maintenance of both vehicles, and they both are plugged into the database to check for malfunctions and have weekly / monthly check ups for any tweaks.
The outside of the house is made of lavish marble and stone, making the house price be somewhere above 200,000 ICs when you add in all the materials—something that was taken out of fact when the city lost value. The outside of the house has the Bacredi family emblem placed on the front deck, and the deck is barred with a metal railing. The hills that it looks over has a beautiful view of the ocean (the house is on the ocean, practically) and there is a staircase down to the beaches. Down at the beaches, Bacredi has his hoverboat and a repulsor sled. The beach is considered private, however, and there is a few people on it a day. Rowen Hollow is known for it's beaches, and Bacredi's house has a kind of "beach" look to it, which was put into factor by the architect.
The inside of the house is lavishly decorated, and it all starts with a black-and-white checkered entryway. The entryway is lined with portraits of the Bacredi family, starting with Tyr Bacredi I and Tyr Bacredi III, closely followed at the end of the hall by Brion and Nemo Bacredi (in separate portraits). On the ceiling is the Bacredi Family Emblem, and a chandelier under it. Past there is the living room, which has old furniture that looks fine and a mahogany sitting table. His office and kitchen are spread into two rooms next to that, both being furnished the same. The rest of the house is almost the same, with fine furniture and portaits of many people that have had a large influence in Bacredi's life (such as Senator Aldrete and his family members), and the Bacredi family emblem is spread out all around there as well.
A year after Bacredi bought the house and thirty days after he was placed as Chancellor of the Exchequer he added a lavish pool and two smaller buildings near the home (to the northwest and northeast sides of the houses). The home to the northwest is a room with a large jacuzzi and spa for all of the guests that Bacredi would entertain for a long period of time during his re-election campaigns (he had to treat some people of course...). The northeast building has a full office (one of the two in the entire house) and a video conference center. The office also has an entrance into the sublevel of the home which is an underground bunker full of food, drink, a dining room, pool, darts, a target range, a theater, and a backup kitchen. It also has a communication bunker in case of some type of planet-wide war.
Preston's Hollow is just outside of Sky City (just about fifteen minutes away) and is the home of many of Sky City's workers, as homes in Sky City are sparse and are mainly apartments. Sky City outsizes Preston's Hollow 100 to 1, having a population of 20 Million People.
