'''Rann Van''' is a [[Lieutenant Colone]] in the [[Imperial Army]]. Rann was born on the planet of [[Corellia]] but met a early heart-wrenching loss when his parents died in a rebel raid on his home town on the outskirts of Corona. It was on [[Corellia]] that he spent much of his early life until finally getting enough money to travel to Coruscant to start a career and family. After getting married, and having a troubled marrige at that, he got divorced and lost his business working as a Shuttle distributor. It wasn't until after that did he enroll in the [[Imperial Academy]] in which he graduated to serve in the [[Galactic Empire]] in the [[Imperial Navy]] reaching his goal as a Fleet Commanding Officer until he transfered to the [[Imperial Army]] in the [[3rd Imperial Legion]].

'''Rann Van''' was a Lieutenant Colonel in the [[Imperial Army]]. Rann was born on the planet of [[Corellia]], a simple farm boy turned doctor. It was on [[Corellia]] that he spent much of his early life until after the emotional strife of losing his family left Corellia to travel to Coruscant to start a new life. It was almost immeadiately that he enrolled in the [[Imperial Academy]] in which he graduated to serve in the [[Galactic Empire]]. He served the beginning stages of his career as a pilot in the [[Imperial Navy]], before after close to three years he reached his goal as a Fleet Commanding Officer. Sometime there after, he transfered to the [[Imperial Army]] in the [[3rd Imperial Legion]]. It was there that he decided his days as an Imperial were over, and he quietly retired to a solitary lifestyle back on Corellia.

As a small child, Rann grew up quietly. His mother and father raised him well, as his family were farmers and it was Rann's supposed destiny to continue their legacy. However, fate took a unexpected turn against Rann when he was 5. Before he was about to start school, a rebel force believed the small town on the outskirts of Corona to be in league with the Imperial forces. Uncertain, they took ahold of their urges and attacked the village killing all of Rann's family and most of the town. Rann escaped with his brother David. They ran away from the town, finding them selves in Coronet, and stowed away in a shuttle bringing them to the Tatooine city Mos Eisly. Both of them were able to find a hut for sale that they broke into to sleep in and were able to establish a meager living working in the starport as loaders and haulers. He met his first mentor, Robertin Kasen who taught him how to read, and all the skills he would of learned at school. Over the years, David became 16 while Rann turned 10, and David pursued his hopes of becoming an Imperial. Rann still too young to understand, continued work in the Starport until his mentor left him to pursue his own career.
+
Simple lives are just far too hard to hold on to. Rann used to have a simple life, for about thirteen years on Corellia. He lived on a farm with his parents and brother, harvesting minerals and known composites to sell to local business owners. The outskirts of Corona were quite quiet, and peaceful.

Alone, Rann wandered Tatooine until he was caught in a sandstorm. Nearly losing his life, he took refuge in an old tent of some sort finding it to be a tuskan raider hut, he was forced to fight for his life. In the fight, Rann was nearly killed but managed to escape before nearing death. Reaching the near city of Mos Espa, he took refuge again and waited out the years until he was 18, working various jobs for various people doing jobs to stay off the radar. He ended up on Coruscant after earning enough pay to buy a shuttle ride there. As his adulthood progressed, Rann worked for a private company in the city working as a shuttle pilot due to his upbringing in a starport.  
+
At the age of thirteen, things went sourly downhill. His father was shot while being robbed by a common street thug, right in front of Rann on his birthday. Rann couldn't do anything but watch as the life slipped away from his father, and from that day forwards Rann vowed to learn all he could to prevent another accident from happening. Not really wishing to fight, he went to a university at the age of eighteen and studied medicine to help those who are on the brink of death.

When he turned 27, he fell in love with a Coruscani woman who he met on the job. He was shuttling passengers from the Imperial Palace to a city south of the capital, and she had fainted on board due to a lightheaded feeling she got while flying. Rann helped her and they dated thereafter. After a year, they got married and settled down together. But things were meant to last. She didn't share the love of flying Rann had, and all those late shuttle runs and time away from the home left her lonely and deprived. One night when Rann returned home he caught her cheating with another man, and the divorce preceedings followed thereafter. The case split their money, and due to a lack of business, Rann had to close down his enterprise, and didn't know what to do. He was 30 now, and was getting older. He had never thought military, but knew it would get him out of the gutter for a while. So he made his way to the nearest Navy recruiter and he was enlisted into the Imperial Ranks.  
+
For four years, he graduated top of his class and was immeadiately hired at the nearest hospital as a resident. He worked as a doctor for three years, before ascending to Chief of Medicine after the previous one retired. He remained at the hospital for two more years following his promotion. The following year however, struck a chord with Rann. His mother died when his brother came home with a spice high and killed her in his delusional state. He fell off the grid soon thereafter. Rann quit his job to search for his brother, who he found out a year later was already dead due to drug overdose.  
 +
 
 +
Without a purpose, and without a family, Rann bought the first ticket he could and landed on Coruscant at the age of 28, hoping for a fresh start. When he stepped off the shuttle the first thing he saw was a recruitment poster for the Galactic Empire. Not seeing any harm in it, he went to the nearest recruiting office, and joined up in the Imperial Navy, where he remained for three years until he transfered to the Imperial Army.

His rise was slow, but Rann made his way through the ranks serving under a number of Commanders, who didn't really teach him anything of note. It wasn't until he was employed under the service of Commander Diggins that he learned anything. He was taught martial arts, tatics, everything. Him being an ex-pirate he knew a lot of things that most others did not. Rann was like a son to him, and he was like a father to Rann. And both were sad when Diggins left for his own career in TSI. This left Rann serving Lieutenant Commander Igneus Esh, where he had his first Command position as XO until Rann had to take a shore leave to tend to his brother who was recently killed by Imperials for treason. When he returned, he was reduced to CoS, and Rann encountered slight depression until his friend pulled him out of the gutter. Taking the opportunity given to him soon thereafter, Commodore Assam put him as XO of a brand new fleet. And as time went on Assam became his CO while the old one went on to other career opportunites. While this new opportunity for Rann had him learning new aggressive tatics and the arts of warfare. Rann then neared his time to become FCO himself, and has since then achieved that goal after 2 and a half years in the Empire....

Rann is of an average height and strong build, but has his share of scars. His back is scarred with the debris of a shuttle crash before he joined the Empire, and his appendix was removed when it was threatened to burst when he was 20. He often wears a formal clasped shirt, with leather jacket and black slacks, but likes to be relaxed in his army fatigues from time to time. He wears a leather tipless glove over his left hand, which was replaced by a prostetic hand after losing his hand in a mission.

Rann Van was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Imperial Army. Rann was born on the planet of Corellia, a simple farm boy turned doctor. It was on Corellia that he spent much of his early life until after the emotional strife of losing his family left Corellia to travel to Coruscant to start a new life. It was almost immeadiately that he enrolled in the Imperial Academy in which he graduated to serve in the Galactic Empire. He served the beginning stages of his career as a pilot in the Imperial Navy, before after close to three years he reached his goal as a Fleet Commanding Officer. Sometime there after, he transfered to the Imperial Army in the 3rd Imperial Legion. It was there that he decided his days as an Imperial were over, and he quietly retired to a solitary lifestyle back on Corellia.

Biography

Early Years

Simple lives are just far too hard to hold on to. Rann used to have a simple life, for about thirteen years on Corellia. He lived on a farm with his parents and brother, harvesting minerals and known composites to sell to local business owners. The outskirts of Corona were quite quiet, and peaceful.

As a Teen

At the age of thirteen, things went sourly downhill. His father was shot while being robbed by a common street thug, right in front of Rann on his birthday. Rann couldn't do anything but watch as the life slipped away from his father, and from that day forwards Rann vowed to learn all he could to prevent another accident from happening. Not really wishing to fight, he went to a university at the age of eighteen and studied medicine to help those who are on the brink of death.

Adulthood

For four years, he graduated top of his class and was immeadiately hired at the nearest hospital as a resident. He worked as a doctor for three years, before ascending to Chief of Medicine after the previous one retired. He remained at the hospital for two more years following his promotion. The following year however, struck a chord with Rann. His mother died when his brother came home with a spice high and killed her in his delusional state. He fell off the grid soon thereafter. Rann quit his job to search for his brother, who he found out a year later was already dead due to drug overdose.

Without a purpose, and without a family, Rann bought the first ticket he could and landed on Coruscant at the age of 28, hoping for a fresh start. When he stepped off the shuttle the first thing he saw was a recruitment poster for the Galactic Empire. Not seeing any harm in it, he went to the nearest recruiting office, and joined up in the Imperial Navy, where he remained for three years until he transfered to the Imperial Army.

Personality and Traits

Apperance

Rann is of an average height and strong build, but has his share of scars. His back is scarred with the debris of a shuttle crash before he joined the Empire, and his appendix was removed when it was threatened to burst when he was 20. He often wears a formal clasped shirt, with leather jacket and black slacks, but likes to be relaxed in his army fatigues from time to time. He wears a leather tipless glove over his left hand, which was replaced by a prostetic hand after losing his hand in a mission.

Personality

Rann is a person who likes to avoid confrontation, and keep things clean and efficient. Often, he will joke around to make light of a situation, unless circumstances prevent it. His favorite place to be is on the bridge of a Imperial Star Destroyer, but he is always ready to serve for whatever purpose the Empire designates him.
