Pre-enlistment

The history of Zhaff is certainly an interesting one, starting with his first memories. The son of a Catherine Orikan, a small business owner, and Lord Benjamin Orikan, a Dark Lord in the Sith Order, Zhaff's upbringing could be described as many things, but dull certainly wasn't one of them. The early ears had one overshadowing memory that has stuck with him to this day. The memory goes as follows:

Zhaff and Lord Benjamin Orikan, sitting in the family living room. Zhaffs Mother had gone into the shop to arrange for a small staffing change, and Lord Benjamin Orikan decided the time was right to give his son a test to determine his sensitivity to the Force. It wasn't the first, but Lord Benjamin Orikan had decided it would be the last. As the two meditated together, the Force probed the young 4 year olds mind searching for some kind of reaction. After well over five hours of this intense meditation, Lord Benjamin Orikan's eyes popped open, and he began glaring at his son. "Our family has a long, pure genetic line of fine Sith Lords, Zhaff. I detect no gift in you, however. I am very, very disappointed."

Since that point in time, Zhaff has taken the message that he is always to be a disappointment to his father. Through his career with the Empire, he has had the privilege to meet some of most powerful Dark Lords, and tested by some of the greatest, but alas his fate has remained nothing but disappointment in his fathers eyes. Zhaff maintains hope that one day, perhaps, he can look up into the heavens and feel his fathers proud gaze.

At the age of 17, Zhaff got word while in school that his mother and father had been in a serious speeder crash while traversing the dense city that is Corellia's capital. After several days of emergent medical care, they both passed from this existence nearly simultaneously. The investigation into the crash, which resulted in another Corellian resident being arrested for piloting under the influence, was the first interaction with the group that would serve as his long-term employers. The Imperial Security Bureau.

Junior Enlisted Time

Zhaff quickly enlisted in the Galactic Empire, and entered the Academy a newly made orphan at the age of 21. He breezed through the academy, but like his previous schooling didn't excel, just did okay. The epitome of 'slightly above average'.

On Y11 D246 Zhaff Orikan graduated from the Academy, and was assigned to the Fourth Imperial Fleet under then Captain Arya Downing who served as Fleet Commanding officer, with Lieutenant Commander Galdarzz Aalon working as Fleet Executive Officer. Much of this time he was under the supervision of then Chief Flight Sergeant Seren Ngo, who took him under her wing in training.

From then, he rose through the ranks rather quickly, even receiving one double promotion.

Senior Enlisted Time

After a short Leave of Absence, Zhaff found himself in a new fleet with a batch of fresh out of the Academy Junior Enlisted members. He quickly took them under his wing, much as the Senior Enlisted in his first fleet did to him.

In one short month he saw each one of them promoted.

Commissioned Officer Time

As a recently commissioned officer, Orikan's first task was assisting across branches an Army Command Sergeant with an issue involving his pay. It was quickly dealt with, being a mistake in the E-6's accounting, not in the Empire.

As a gift to himself for receiving his commission as Ensign, Zhaff Orikan purchased for himself on Day 245 of Year 12 a Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 which he named, temporarily, Orikans Other Revenge. This small, but quality ship has assisted him greatly not only in his duties, but expanding his personal accommodations. At this time he has not quite gotten himself accustomed to the slightly more luxurious life that came with his commission, but this purchase was done to allow him to live in a bit more style when not marching around the bridge of some unnamed Star Destroyer. This ship has since been appropriately renamed The Commission.

In addition to Orikans Other Revenge came a new-found dedication to security practices and proficiency. He can often be found debating with fellow Imperials the finer points of information security, the security classification system, as well as solitary sitting on the bridge of his currently assigned ship running drills and preparing training events for his Heavy Assault Group.

Fleet Signals Officer

On Day 347 of Year 12, Orikan was appointed by Rear Admiral Mayas Lennorian to the position of Fleet Signals Officer of the 5th Imperial Fleet, to assist Fleet and Group command with maintaining communication, information, and records keeping sources for the fleet.

Fleet Activity Adjutant

On Day 230 of Year 12, Zhaff Orikan was appointed by 5th Fleet Commanding Officer Rear Admiral Mayas Lennorian to the position of 5th Fleet Activity Adjutant. It is a position that he has taken great pride in, hosting special events and coordination's fleet-wide. One such event was the first ever formal ball for his fleet. Well attended, the event played host to the promotion ceremonies for several members of the fleet, including that of Zhaff Orikan himself.

Group Training Officer

Having unofficially assumed the role of training officer upon his assignment to his current fleet, it came as no surprise when on Day 293 of Year 12 Zhaff Orikan was appointed by his Group Command as Group Training Officer. Since that time he has coordinated one large, multi-phasic training exercise that turned out extremely well. He is also working on perfecting a training regiment for newly assigned members to the group that will be both fun and educational, with the goal of showing them the ins and outs of being in the Imperial Navy.

Goals for the Future

Zhaff Orikan has expressed several goals for the future, some larger than others. They are listed below:

  • Move up the ranks within the ISB.

Academy Tenure

Always being one to love the newest members of the Empire learn the ropes and become upstanding citizens, it was without hesitation that Zhaff applied for a position as a Junior Training Officer in the Academy the moment he saw a position open that he qualified for.

Imperial Security Bureau

As the newest member of the illustrious Bureau, ISB-2nd Lieutenant Orikan has been busy learning the in's and out's of his new job. So far he has started or assisted in several cases, however the specifics of such are, understandably, classified.

[14:52] <&DIR_Bianchi> If I could have a moment of everyone's time, and have 2LT Orikan join me

[14:52] * ISB-2LT_Orikan joins the Director, and snaps a quick salute.

[14:53] * &DIR_Bianchi returns the salute and sets a datapad on the lectern in front of him, which he taps several times, as the seal of the Imperial Security Bureau appears from the holoprojector.

[14:54] <&DIR_Bianchi> Since he joined the Bureau, 2LT Orikan has worked extremely diligently to learn his new position, and has taken on additional responsibility of his own volition. I'm pleased to say he has performed above and beyond my expectations in such a short time.

[14:55] * &DIR_Bianchi takes out a small lacquered box

[14:55] <&DIR_Bianchi> Therefore, I am pleased to announce the end of 2LT Orikan's apprenticeship, and his promotion to full responsibility within the Bureau. Thus, I hereby present you with the [CISA] award, as a Certified Imperial Security Agent.

[14:56] * &DIR_Bianchi opens the box to reveal the [CISA] and hands it to ISB-2LT_Orikan

[14:56] <ISB-2LT_Orikan> Thank you, Sir. It's been an honor.

[14:56] <&DIR_Bianchi> It's been my honor to have such a capable Imperial under my command, Lieutenant.

[14:57] * .Guinar applauds

[14:57] <&DIR_Bianchi> I do have a couple other things.

[14:58] <&DIR_Bianchi> Subsequently, you are hereby appointed as Sector Liaison for the Corellian Sector, to take over from LTCOL Gabriel, who was so graciously serving double duty before now as the Chief of Enforcement as well.

[14:59] <&DIR_Bianchi> In recognition of your achievement and position, I hereby promote you to the rank of ISB-First Lieutenant, with all the rights and responsibilities therein.

[14:59] <ISB-2LT_Orikan> Very much appreciated, sir. Thank you.

[14:59] * &DIR_Bianchi takes out a carbon fibre box and presents the 1LT's new rank bars to him.

[14:59] * ISB-2LT_Orikan is now known as ISB-1LT_Orikan

[15:00] <&DIR_Bianchi> Keep up the good work. Dismissed!

[15:00] * ISB-1LT_Orikan snaps another quick salute before about-facing, and going back to his duties.

On the 95th day of Year 13, Zhaff Orikan was made Adjudicator by Prime Adjudicator ISB-LTCOL Yeriamman, as well as awarded his third Letter of Commendation.

Throughout his career in the Bureau, Zhaff has taken on the role of Sector Liaison for numerous sectors, including Kuat, Corellia, and Tapani, as well as assisting his Bureau brothers from other Sectors with matters that needed his special and unique attention.

Further, he recently took control of the Office of Surveillance, where he holds the position of Chief of Surveillance. Via that position he has been given the privilege of commanding a large group of dedicated Imperials who seek the betterment of the Empire via increased and continuous monitoring of everyone.

Personal Ships

The following ships are part of Zhaff Orikan's personal fleet, and are ever changing.

  • Cloakshape/H Fighter Squad
    • The Enlisted Squad
    • The King of the Enlisted was a gift to himself as a reward for graduating from the Academy.
    • The Enlisted squad is made up of 12 customised Cloakshape/H Fighters, with a distinct flagship of the squad, the King of the Enlisted. It currently makes up one arm of the fighter armada supporting the Unholy Demon and Orikan himself in his day-to-day duties and personal endeavours.
  • C-3 Passenger Liner
    • HMS Orikan
    • HMS Orikan was a gift from Director Vandron. It is currently used as Orikan's personal flagship, the base of all of his missions.
  • Sprint-class Rescue Craft
    • Mercy
    • Mercy was a gift to himself for no particular reason. It is currently used as a personal runabout, and has been found to be the perfect hunting craft. It is outfitted with a fully functional medical bay, equipped with medicine and healing technology to heal any wound
  • Firespray-class Interceptor
    • Imperator
    • ... is scheduled to replace Mercy at an armed runabout. It is expected that Mercy will remain in the fleet as a personal medical transport, however it's use will diminish.
  • YT-1300
    • Act of Defiance
    • The Act of Defiance makes up part of Orikan's personal freighter fleet, and is capable of assisting the various squads and ships in defensive and offensive battle should the need arise. It is painted in a unique design.
  • YT-1300
    • Act of Preservation
    • The Act of Preservation makes up an additional portion of Orikan's personal freighter fleet, and is capable of assisting the various squads and ships in defensive and offensive battle should the need arise. It is painted in a unique design.
  • Sprint-class Rescue Craft(s)
    • INFORMATION CLASSIFIED
  • YT-510
    • The Flash
    • The Flash is a nice little ship that Orikan uses when he needs to get from point A in the galaxy to point B in a nice, timely fashion. Valuing both hyperspeed and sublight speed, Orikan decided that the hefty investment in this little beauty was well worth the money.
  • Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser
    • Unholy Demon
    • The Unholy Demon has been transformed from a standard bulk cruiser into a state-of-the-art, luxurious flagship. To be commissioned Y13 D238, the Unholy Demon will replace the HMS Orikan as the flagship and carrier for the Orikan fleet. It is reported the work crews from across the Galaxy have been working 24 hour shifts for the past month, quickly finishing the final modifications to the ship prior to Orikans arrival for the commissioning ceremony. Because of the Unholy Demon's ability to descend to the surface of a planet, it's expected that this ship will also be utilized as Orikan's new hunting vessel.
  • Y-Wing BTL-S3(s)
    • Unknown Name
    • Orikans primary fighter defense is a group of Y-Wing BTL-S3's, a full squad worth.
  • Barloz-class Freighter
    • The Ranger
    • The Ranger is yet an additional freighter asset owned by Orikan. Rather than being a ship designed for combat or asset procurement, this ship is specifically designed to act as a recon scout into enemy territory. While the appearance is certainly modified, it's specific appearance is classified.
  • ETA-2 Actis-class Light Interceptor
    • Act of Malevolence
    • The Act of Malevolence is a small, modified fighter that Orikan uses as a transport when attending formal, but non-GE functions. It's appearance is modified.

Weaponry

While the weaponry Orikan uses while on duty is strictly classified, he takes pride in his personal arsenal. Amassing a large quantity(well over 400) various weapons, his standard weapons for use are a custom Bowcaster named Justice for his primary long arm, and a custom DL-56 named Liberty for his sidearm. He also tends to carry various melee weapons, using them to maintain a certain amount of variety in his life. He has always been keen on blades.

Armor and Clothing

Orikan's typical attire consists of his ISB uniform, with his Sith robes draped over. When in need of some additional protection, he has a heavy battle armor chestplate that he pried off of a criminal on the streets of a small Corellian town. His helmet, however, is his pride and joy. Named 'Revenge', it is a heavy battle helmet that he pulled off the deceased corpse of an attempted assassin after the assassin was skilfully apprehended, and summarily executed by Orikan himself.

His clothing and/or armor while partaking in operations is strictly classified.

Personal Stations

  • Luxury Space Colony
    • The Bureau
    • The Bureau is his home-away-from-home. Consisting of lavish furnishings and a staff of excellent Corellians to meet his every need, The Bureau is where Orikan tends to go when in need of a relaxing weekend, when duty allows.
  • Luxury Space Colony
    • Home
    • When not attending to duties, Orikan enjoys to relax aboard his second Luxury Space Colony, aptly named Home.
  • Trading II
    • Unnamed
    • The newest large acquisition to Orikans holdings is his Trading II station.

Hired Help

It is rumored that Orikan maintains a personal militia, armed with the latest weaponry. While official numbers are unknown, a reasonably accurate guess as to the number employed is over 300, a number that surpasses several government military organizations in shear number.

Aside from his war-making troops, Orikan maintains a staff of dedicated personal assistance in various fields, from butlers to chefs. Growing up on the streets of Corellia made him truly appreciate the finer things in life. While he certainly enjoys getting down and dirty in his work, often in his off-time he can be found cruising around in his yacht drinking expensive Corellian Whiskey and smoking aged cigars, the later of which are in short supply due to their origins being now subject to various trade embargo's.
