I joined the Empire at the age of 17 and attended the Imperial Academy, graduating 6th in my class. I was then transferred to the planet of Talus and stationed there as a Tie Fighter pilot. During this time, I was charged four times for gross insubordination and got a reputation of being a hotheaded hotshot pilot. I also was very open in my dislike for the Emperor and the Imperial command under the Emperor and Darth Vader and I openly rejoiced at their deaths which sparked animosity amongst my squad mates and I recieved a demotion to 2lt. When Coruscant fell to the Alliance, I knew it was time for me to leave the Empire for now it would be easy for me to set up a blackmarket and smuggling group operating near Coruscant. Before I left, I killed my wingmen and destroyed three TIE hangers before stealing a small smuggling yacht and flying off. For three years I was on the run, I was blacklisted by the Empire and found myself in many small engagements with them, but managed to escape each time. In the third year of my desertion, I was approached by the Alliance to join them for I was a valuable person for them to have. I requested a large sum of money in order to convince me to join, but when i got the money, I shot the two deliverers and flew away after assigning two of my pilots to steal the shuttle. On my way to Corellia to deliver a load of smuggled goods, my ship was intercepted by an Imperial Interdictor Cruiser and I was captured by the Empire. I was placed in a Carack Cruiser and was being shuttled off to Corellia to recieve sentencing and to be executed. When the Carack left hyperspace just outside the planet Corellia, it was ambushed by ships from my fleet and I was rescued. We also stole the Carack Cruiser and added it to our ever growing fleet of stolen Imperial ships. I then made the biggest decision of my life. I got aboard a Corellian yt-2300 freighter and flew to Talus to kill my CO who i failed to kill before. When I arrived, I managed to locate the base he was on and infiltrate it. When I arrived at his office and broke down the door, I was surprised from behind by two stormtroopers and was arrested by my CO. I knew I was most likely going to die so I decided to try one tactic in order to save myself. In my years as a smuggler, I had made a very large sum of money and I offered my CO and the two troopers, one billion dollars each and gave them my freighter for them to keep if I could leave with my life. This convinced them and when they went to inspect the freighter, I sent a small radio signal form my mini-computer and activated the self-destruct killing my CO and the two troopers. Fortunately, the money I had given them was in the form of the check so all I lost was a crummy old freighter. I then decided that the only way I could clear my name and get the Imperials off my back was to rejoin them under a new name. I changed my name from Corran Hargraves to Arturus and changed my features enough so that I would not be recognized. I then sold my smuggling fleet and assets and flew to Corellia to join the VE. I made arrangements for a small shuttle who's indicators said i was in it crossed infront of an Imperial capital ship and was destroyed. That completed the switch, I was now presumed dead by the Empire and would never be found.
