Early life and career
David Terrio was born on Year -30, Day 3, at Cinnagar Core District Hospital 15 on Empress Teta. No biographical information about his father or mother is available. In his youth, Terrio enjoyed friendships with various Imperial fighter pilots and non-commissioned officers stationed in the Core District. Upon graduation from Cinnagar PS 143, Terrio parlayed one such friendship into employment at a local merchant's trading firm. Shortly thereafter, he was promoted to skipper of the YT-700 Sunspot, in which capacity he continued service until the firm's liquidation in Year -8.
Facing a mild recession and depressed demand for labor on his homeworld, Terrio enlisted with the Imperial Navy in Year -7.
Military service
Galactic Empire
Crewman Terrio was initially assigned to sentry duty aboard the Acclamator I-class assault ship Tenacious. During this time, he studied Imperial protocol and law before attending the Imperial Academy. Service records from this era list Crewman Terrio on the ship manifest and duty roster but do not provide details about his assignment or performance.
In Year -2, Terrio attended the Imperial Academy, then under the command of Commandant and Vice Admiral Virgil. While at the Academy, Terrio's classmates nicknamed him "Dark Trooper" because of his prowess in boxing but relative incapacity in starfighter combat. According to his instructors, Terrio took these comments personally and was so dedicated to ameliorating his handicap that he spent more nighttime hours on Corulag piloting T-16s than any other cadet.
Upon graduation, Admiral Piett assigned Ensign "Dark Trooper" to the First Naval Recon, which was then under the command of Captain Darkjedi. Terrio piloted an Escort Shuttle in the fleet's Gold Squadron as a Junior Wingman and later Senior Wingman after his promotion to Lieutenant in Year -1.
Captain Darkjedi was later relieved of command for desertion by Admiral Piett and replaced with Captain Targeter and Commander Ghost X9. Captain Targeter and Commander Ghost immediately promoted Lieutenant IWAssassin, an academy classmate and friend of Terrio's, to Lieutenant Commander and Commanding Officer of Gold Squadron. After several months, IWAssassin was transferred to another fleet and First Naval Recon Command promoted Terrio to Lieutenant Commander and commanding officer of Gold Squadron in Year 0. During this time, Terrio met and befriended several notorious Imperials of the era, including then-Colonel Black Lodge, General Trey Connel, Lieutenant Colonel Zekk Terrik, Brigadier General Cherokee, Captain Mccarthur, and even Emperor Spytek.
Rebel Alliance
For a short time, during a period of great turmoil in the Galactic Empire caused by infighting between the Army and Navy, Terrio served in the Rebel Alliance Army.[1] He followed several senior officers of the Empire in defecting and was immediately commissioned as a Colonel. Within weeks, the dilapidated Rebel Alliance promoted Terrio to High General of the Army, where he was tasked with organizing a dysfunctional marine corps. After several more weeks of negotiating with an incestuous and ineffective High Command, Terrio tendered his resignation and returned to the Galactic Empire.
Return to the Empire
The Empire has never accepted traitors with open arms, and Terrio was no exception. He was immediately arrested and confined aboard Captain Kirov Quel-Droma's Imperial Star Destroyer pending a court-martial. While imprisoned, Terrio negotiated a plea with then-Admiral Piett for his reinstatement as an officer of the Imperial Navy. In return, Terrio spent half a year under disciplinary probation supervised by Captain Quel-Droma before returning to independent service. Terrio remarked at the time that such lenience was secured only by the benevolence of his former superiors, Captain Targeter and Commander Ghost, who allegedly defended his loyalty.
Upon his return to independent and active service, Lieutenant Commander Terrio was assigned to command the 201st Heavy Support Company in the Second Imperial Fleet (pre-Y3). There, his commanding officer was Captain Gunther von Esling, already a legend for his service in the Third Naval Recon under Commodore Veynom.
After a restructure of the Imperial Navy following Piett's ascension to the Throne and Veynom's promotion to Commanding Officer of the Navy in Year 1, Terrio was promoted to Commander and was assigned to the Eighth Imperial Fleet as its Commanding Officer.[2] His peers at the time were such noteworthy officers as Commander Huzz Lord, Commander Uebles, Captain Quaxo, and Captain Peich. Terrio was captain of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Victory and in the Eighth Fleet trained such officers as Alex Tylger[3] and Ying Lee (aka "Evaders").[2]
