It is unknown when Balseraph entered Imperial service. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Imperial Army, eventually becoming General and Commanding Officer of the Army.

When Suntzu claimed the Imperial Throne after the First Imperial Civil War, in which Captain Vodo Bonias turned his fleet against Emperor Hiram Drayson and forced him to flee, Bonias was instated as Moff. During Suntzu's short reign, General Balseraph accused Moff Bonias of encouraging the new Emperor to enact policies which favored the Imperial Navy over the Army. After openly accusing Suntzu of incompetence, Balseraph was exiled.

Charon

charonarchives.jpg

J. Charon was the eighth Emperor of the Galactic Empire. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential political figures of modern Imperial history. Many consider Charon to have brought the era started by Connel to new heights, transforming the Galactic Empire into a Galaxy-wide superpower. He is the last of the three Emperors that gave shape to the New Order before the return of the Sith. The political rivalry between Connel and Veynom has been compared to that between Charon and Bonias. This rivalry dominated Imperial politics for nearly 10 years and arguably caused three Imperial Civil Wars. Emperor Charon is thus a central figure in the examination of modern Imperial politics. Sadly, due to the destruction of many records by Vodoists, much of Charon's reign remains undocumented and a lot of information was rewritten by his enemies.

Having served as the second Executor of Emperor Mccarthur for about a year, Charon was familiar with his mild and just policies and would be influenced by them during his own reign. Despite being second in the line of succession, behind Thomas Cherokee, Charon was named Mccarthur's successor upon the latter's abdication of the Throne. After assuming control of the Empire and taking up the mantle of Emperor, Charon undertook extensive reforms of Imperial laws and government. He also heavily centralized the bureaucracy of the Empire, which had remained unchanged and outdated since the rule of Emperor Piett.

His reign knew many successes, such as the conquest of the Tatoo system, extending the Empire's reach all the way to the Outer Rim. He awarded governance of the new system to the Hutt Council, which had sworn loyalty to the Emperor. He also established the Imperial Port Authority on Year 3 Day 59, an organisation that still functions many years later. (more...)
