Lord Daniel Ascarion, Earl of Glithnos, is a Human of the Hapan variety in the service of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. When he was a child, he travelled much around the galaxy and therefore has a deep love of space. There's no other place where he would live a satisfying life and that makes the Navy an ideal place to work for him. He has since moved on to work with COMPNOR.

Biography

Daniel Ascarion's life was featured by the Imperial News Service: [1]

Coruscant Time

Daniel doesn't remember much of the days with his original family. Later he found out that they must have been a rather poor family from Coruscant with Hapan roots. They could not afford raising him and so he was left on the street, where he was found by a merchant and his wife from Tattooine. They took him with them on their freighter.

Space Time

After being abandoned on Coruscant's streets and rescued by his new "parents" in the first year of his life, Ascarion lived with his new parents on their Gallofree Freighter. His adoptive parents knew very well that their ship was dangerous place for a little child, but for Daniel it was very exciting. In the first years he didn't notice much of his surrounding as is the nature with little children, but soon the whole ship became his playground. He learned to to tear technical things apart and restore them and he also spent many hours in a flight simulator, after he and his adoptive father had reconstructed it from scrap acquired in junk yards all over the galaxy.

Mos Eisley Time

When he was five years old, he first visited the apartment his adoptive parents possessed in Mos Eisley. He didn't like the planet from the beginning, he hated all the sand and the hot air, although the sun never bothered him due to his Hapan genealogy. He only stayed there about a week, but he wasn't very eager to ever return. When his adoptive parents told him, he would have to return there to go to a school, he was nine years old. At first he thought about running, but then decided to actually take the transport to Tattooine. He pushed himself very hard to learn as much as his adoptive parents deemed necessary to return to space. Next to his school time he did some small jobs to earn his own money, so he could save it and maybe buy his own freighter once he was old enough to run his own business or take over his adoptive parents' ship. When he was sixteen his parents took him on a trade trip, at the end of which he decided to join the Empire's military.

Imperial Time

After graduating the Academy, RADE failed to process Daniel and it took several months, before he was transferred to his first Naval unit, the Naval Defense Fleet, Coruscant Defense Group, which later became the Coruscant Defense Fleet. After a Naval reform, the CDF was taken out of service and most members were transferred to the Third Imperial Fleet. Daniel served in the 3IF for over a year and was then moved with most of his Group to the newly formed Sixth Imperial Fleet, where he became a first opportunity at a command position as the Fleet Chief of Staff and later as the Fleet Executive Officer. During that time, he also graduated with honours from the School of Officer and Command Studies. At the end of Year 10 Ascarion left the 6IF to take command of the Ninth Imperial Fleet. Being its commanding officer for more than a year the fleet eventually became the Ninth Group of the First Imperial Fleet. Only a month after this latest reform, Daniel was put in charge of one of the new fleets, the 2nd Imperial Fleet, which also brought the promotion to Commodore with it. After half a year, he was put in command of the 6th Imperial Fleet, which he commanded for approximately another half year before he was moved into Navy Command completely, first as the Navy Signals Officer, later as Navy Executive Officer under Lord Admiral Rawius Titan before becoming the Lord Admiral himself early in Year 14. Serving as the Navy Commanding Officer, he had the chance to work on the Imperial Inner Circle and with the Emperor and Executor, Guinar Ndengin and Seele. In the first half of Year 15, Daniel announced his wish to retire from the position as Lord Admiral. After retiring and taking several months off, he returned to serve in Imperial High Commmand as the Director of the Imperial Security Bureau. While ISB-Director, he is created Earl of Glithnos.
