[hide]Biography
Early Life
Earliest records indicate Patrick Bisson is a Hapani male born on Coruscant. Limited records existed until he enlisted in the Imperial Navy and was accepted into the Coruscani Pilot Institute Y11.
Enlisted Service
At CPI Patrick was surrounded by the children of famous military families. He grew to resent the pilots who had everything handed to them and worked hard to outdo them. The immense pressure he put on himself and his lack of piloting skills caused him to finish below the average of his squadron.
Patrick served in the Imperial Navy in the Imperial Navy Starfighter Corps running border patrols with the █████████ Fleet for two years reaching the rank of Master Flight Sergeant [E-4]. Upon reaching the senior enlisted ranks, his CO had observed his leadership of the junior enlisted's. He would mentor them and pass on tips he had picked up over the years, this led his commanding officer to assign Bisson as Alpha-class Gunship flight leader where he excelled in the slower, heavier-hitting fighters using tactical manoeuvers to beat faster interceptors in battles.
After two years of service, Patrick was honorably discharged when his Naval group was disbanded.
After leaving the Navy, Patrick transitioned into the private sector, working for an arms dealer fulfilling government contracts and supplying private military corporations. Rumours persist that he played a key role in the proliferation of Binders—the galaxy’s answer to the Falleen Federation’s monopoly on Stun-Cuffs—reshaping the market for law enforcement and military restraint technology.
Attack on Astraeus Terminal
On Y13 D050, Patrick arrived at the trading station Astraeus Terminal for a business meeting with representatives of an Imperial-aligned private military corporation. While celebrating a recent deal in the galley, the station’s holo-screens suddenly flickered to life, broadcasting a manifesto under the banner of the New Republic. Moments later, a thermal bomb detonated, tearing through the interior. The attack claimed over 3,000 civilian lives. Patrick survived scarred, maimed, and forever changed. Rebel insurgents claimed responsibility soon after.
Re-enlistment & Cybernetic Reconstruction
Patrick was rushed to the Grand Republic Medical Facility on Coruscant, where he spent weeks submerged in bacta, his body slowly healing from severe burns. His missing limbs were replaced with cybernetic implants, and the twisted remnants of his face became a permanent testament to the cost of maintaining order in the galaxy. Undeterred by his injuries, he saw his survival as a second chance an opportunity to serve once more. Despite being ineligible to return as a pilot, the Imperial Navy recognized his experience and offered him an officer commission if he could pass the Academy.
Imperial Commission & First Command
On Y14 D105, Patrick was commissioned into the Imperial Navy and trained at the prestigious Prefsbelt IV Naval Academy, a bastion of fleet leadership rooted in the warrior traditions of Coruscant. Graduating with distinction, he earned the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade [O-2] and was given command of an anti-fighter Carrack-class cruiser in the █████████ region. Displaying a natural aptitude for leadership and crew management, he steadily advanced, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander [O-4] during his tenure as a Carrack captain.
Operation Pittin & Rise to Leadership
Patrick's leadership was put to the test during Operation Pittin, where he assumed command mid-battle through the chain of succession. Rallying his forces, he led them to a decisive victory against a raiding fleet, drawing the attention of Fleet Command. His performance earned him a letter of commendation from Admiral Drenall, stating: "For leadership qualities and initiative both worthy of a potential commander and necessary in order to bring Operation Pittin to a (semi-)successful resolution."
9th Assault Group Executive Officer
By Y18 D052, Patrick had been promoted to Executive Officer of the 9th Assault Group, taking command of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Under his leadership, he served alongside three commanding officers, consistently earning praise for his discipline, strategic insight, and organizational prowess. During his time aboard the ISD Eternity, he was awarded the Bronze CAPCOM Qualification Badge on the recommendation of Commodore Euler.
Command Tier
On Y18 D345, Patrick was promoted to Commodore and assigned as 1st Fleet Signals Officer, a critical command-level position. His tenure became the longest in 1st Fleet history, providing much-needed stability and direction to the department.
13th Recon Group Commanding officer
On Y19 D105, Commodore Patrick Bisson was appointed to replace Commodore Turk Killian as Commanding Officer of the 13th Recon Group. Tasked with revitalizing the once-stagnant unit, he wasted no time in re-establishing its elite status within the Navy. Almost immediately upon his arrival in Deep-Core, the group was deployed for Operation Olympus Divided, an initiative that would prepare them for the war looming closer than anyone had anticipated.
War in Hosnian (Declassified Y20 D241)
Midway through year 19, then-Rear Admiral Bisson was involved in operations to secure the Hosnian system from New Republic forces.
On year 19, day 188 the Hosnian system was discovered by members of Tresario Star Kingdom. Following the proclamation of Imperial ownership by Emperor Seele, the 13th group under the command of Rear Admiral Patrick Bisson, was given its marching orders: to mobilize as a quick response force to secure the system for the Empire. Upon arrival in Hosnian, the 13th was reinforced by the Swiftsure Joint Task Force comprising multiple naval groups and army brigades. Appointed as commander of the forces tasked with system-level reconnaissance, he and the other reconnaissance elements tracked and scanned all movement of enemy and neutral ships entering and departing the system--while simultaneously aiding with system-level logistics.
The enemy forces were mainly composed of privately owned ships, likely some form of militia, and it was over a month before the New Republic was able to muster a single military vessel within the system. Despite their enemy’s lackluster response the battle was not fought without losses, Rear Admiral Bisson’s second in command Lieutenant Commander Du` Bas Tyra was captured by New Republic forces. Choosing not to allow the New Republic to use him as a bargaining chip, he took his own life while in captivity.
For his role in ensuring that Operation: Swiftsure was a success, he was awarded the Imperial Campaign Medal [ICM] and his eighth Letter of Commendation [LOC-8].

Letter of Commendation: Awarded for contributions to Operation: Swiftsure. For constant vigilance and continual availability for all secondary tasks at hand while on assignment as a system sentry in Hosnian. Rear Admiral Bisson's recon aided in the redirection and forewarning of planetary units and his outstanding dedication, reliability, and performance served as a fine example for junior officers.
Group Command Medal
After 6 months of commanding the 13th Recon Group through exercises and operations, he received the [GCM] with a positive review from Navy Command.

From Navy Commanding Officer Graeda L'Annan:
Awarded for serving with distinction and efficiency in the role of Commanding Officer for the 13th Reconnaissance Group for the last 6 months. Bisson is a highly competent commander, displaying a keen eye for detail and a hand for organization, no doubt courtesy of his past as both an Executive Officer and as FSO. Bisson shows a good grasp for both combat tactics and strategy, and is also a highly active and thorough commander on a personal level, as exemplified by his many and detailed recon reports during Operation ████████.
Civilian Career
Imperial Security Bureau
"More men are guilty of treason through weakness than any studied design to betray." |
—François de La Rochefoucauld |
Recognizing his sharp analytical skills, unwavering loyalty, and ability focus under pressure, Patrick was recruited into the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) as a Regional Liaison. His transition from the Navy to the ISB marked a new chapter in his career, one that would define his legacy.
In his early years at the ISB, he developed a reputation for his effectiveness in interrogations, using both psychological and physical techniques to break even the most hardened insurgents. His methods were precise, efficient, and, above all, effective. His interrogations yielded high-value intelligence that led to the dismantling of multiple rebel cells. He was instrumental in the interrogation and debriefing of key figures following Operation: █████████, exposing deep-rooted insurgent networks within the Core Worlds.
As he ascended through the ranks, Patrick was assigned to oversee counter-intelligence operations, ensuring that Imperial assets remained uncompromised. His leadership and meticulous attention to detail made him a formidable force within the Bureau, and his influence only grew as he took command of entire sections of ISB operations.
Achievement Medal

Imperial Intelligence Medal of Progress

From Emperor Seele of the Galactic Empire For meritorious and lasting contributions to Imperial Intelligence, the Imperial Intelligence Medal of Progress is awarded to Patrick Bisson. His leadership of the Imperial Security Bureau has been punctuated by diligent commitment to continual improvement of operations and practices undertaken in the preservation of the Galactic Empire.
Kidnapping and murder of Krakonico Petermind
In early Y22, Patrick's former commanding officer from the ninth group who had retired from Imperial service was kidnapped by the infamous criminal Adrian Owen. Adrian attempted to extort the ransom of 1.2 Billion credits from the Chief of ISB himself in exchange for the life of his former CO. Imperial policy of not negotiating with criminals was carried and Krakonico Petermind was murdered by Adrian in cold blood while still in captivity.

The Imperial Security Bureau issued a warrant that morning for the arrest of Adrian Owen for capital crimes signed by the Bureau Chief of Imperial Security Patrick Bisson.
In Y23, The Bureau of Analysis received classified intelligence that Adrian Owen intended to access Imperial Space to collect stolen assets he acquired from Krakonico. The plan for capture was refined by the Ubiqtorate and there was a high level of confidence for success.
In the early hours of Coruscant local time, elite members of the Imperial Security Bureaus Counter-Terrorism cell deployed under the direct supervision of Bureau Chief Bisson. Forcing their way aboard the vessel the operatives laid waste to those who would oppose the will of the Empire. The ensuing close-quarters combat within the narrow halls of the ship was ruthless and ultimately led to the triumph of the Empire. The rumors were that Owen was personally killed by the Bureau Chief himself but he would not comment on the raid when asked.
ING Article "Ultimate Revelation"
Director of the Imperial Security Bureau
By Year 24, when he became Director of the Imperial Security Bureau, Patrick joined the ranks of the Imperial High Command, overseeing all departments of the Imperial Security Bureau including Enforcement, Internal-Affairs and Surveillance. His tenure was marked by sweeping reforms, including the modernization of interrogation techniques, the implementation of predictive analytics to preempt insurgent actions, and the restructuring of planetary security networks to ensure unwavering loyalty to the Empire.
Under his command, the ISB neutralized dozens of high-profile threats to Imperial stability. His crowning achievement came during Operation █████████, where his intelligence network orchestrated the takedown of a large-scale conspiracy within the Outer Rim. His leadership secured the Empire’s dominance in key sectors and reinforced its control over critical supply chains and communications networks.
Despite his high-ranking position, Patrick never abandoned his roots in field operations. He often participated in high-risk missions, overseeing interrogations personally when the stakes demanded it. His presence alone was enough to break captives before a single question was asked.

For resolute sacrifice and devotion to duty in service to the Galactic Empire, the Order of the Imperial Seal is hereby awarded to Patrick Bisson. His efforts in undertaking the duties as member of the Imperial High Command demonstrates the trust and confidence of The Throne in his abilities and continued service to the New Order.
