Reinhold Gessler was a soldier in the Imperial Army's Second Imperial Legion. A Coruscanti native, his immediate family is of a modest background, but has a history of relatively fortuitous Imperial support.

Biographical Records

Gebbert and Aloisia Gessler parented a total of five children in their crowded home on the sprawling planet-wide metropolis of Coruscant, Reinhold being the fourth born. Gebbert Gessler was the owner of a small space vessel trading shop; primary clients included smaller corporations or private enterprises in need of buying or selling cargo freighters. Most of Gebbert's children, including Reinhold, gained from this an early exposure to corporatist business and some sleight mechanical experience.

During their adolescent years, Hendrik and Isidor Gessler became involved in something resembling a small time gang in the industrial slums they inhabited. To the best of Reinhold's memory, this never extended beyond backstreet gambling and the occasional fights with other youths, but the impact on life at home in the family's household was significant. Hendrik and Isidor became estranged from their parents, and less receptive to their siblings over time. At young adulthood, the two brothers joined a large corporation as employed enforcers, and have had little contact with Reinhold since.

Reinhold, for his part, enjoyed a healthy relationship with his father during these years. He found that he enjoyed working with machinery and engineering, and took up work in his father's business at an early age. In early adulthood, he took up work as the pilot of an industrial cargo vessel, to which he adhered for several years before setting aside that line of work entirely. He enlisted in the Imperial Army at age 28, and has never looked back.
