Igneus Esh is a Commodore in the Imperial Navy and the 8th Group Commanding Officer. He was also a civilian for several months and a soldier in the Imperial Army. "Ig", as he is called by his friends, was born in planet Kuan on year -17, and together with his family moved to Soronia when he was a kid. Son of Petrus and Sarah, he also has a younger brother and sister.

Biography

Before birth

Leaving all her wealth and status, Sarah von Fanel married Petrus Esh on Coruscant two years before Igneus was born. Petrus was a simple worker, but very charismatic. Sarah belonged to a wealthy family, the von Fanels, and got captivated by Petrus. The war against the Confederacy of Independent Systems damaged the Republic's economy and the scars of war were felt also in important planets of the Inner Rim and the Core, even in Coruscant. As a consequence of the grave crisis Petrus lost his job, leaving the fortune of the von Fanels as the only sustenance of the couple. Months after Petrus became unemployed, they realized Sarah was pregnant. Knowing it wouldn't be fair for her parents to keep using their fortune to sustain her evergrowing family, Sarah looked for solutions. Advertisements at that time spoke about new settlements in the Outer Rim. "Come to the New World, get a New Life. Come to the Outer Rim.", said one of them. The Esh family joined one of the programs to populate the Outer Rim worlds, becoming colonists in Kuan, a remote world in the Taroon system. The Republic gave a considerable amount of dataries to the colonists, which helped them build their new home and start a new life, as the advertisements said. Petrus learned about construction and mining, knowledge he would later transfer to his son, and founded a building company with some associates. The couple lived happily for months. The barren planet Kuan was indeed a paradise for them, and made them forget the last awful times they spent on Coruscant and lots of parsecs were between them and the horrors of the Republic-CIS war.

Early Life

Igneus was born almost 5 years before the formation of the Empire. During that time Kuan, as most of the rest of the Outer Rim planets, became a dangerous world. Conflict with neighbor planet Bordal slowly escalated and as the conflict turned to be a bloody war the Esh family started to wonder if they made the right decision changing a bad place for living for another worse.

The Republic inability to stop the war, the misery he lived during his first years of life and all the suffering the conflict caused stayed latent in Igneus' memory, until the Old Republic died and the Galactic Empire was born. The resolute Empire with its superior military war machine finished in less than a month a conflict that had lasted almost 10 years and lead to the annihilation of a huge amount of both Kuani and Bordali citizens. Having seen how quick and effective the Empire was pacifying the system, Igneus dream instantly became clear: he wanted to be an Imperial soldier.

But even with the planet pacified, the living conditions didn't get better. The Esh family sold all what owned, and with part of the money bought a freighter called "Leira". With the rest of the money they bought a residence in planet Soronia, in the Corellian system. Even if the planet had some resemblance with Kuan, all the misery and pain Igneus suffered on Kuan caused him to hate and quickly forget about that remote planet. Although he wasn't born there, Igneus considers Soronia, or even Corellia, his homeworld.

Youth

Igneus youth soon was influenced by the Corellian environment, and as most Corellians he got fascinated about all things related with spaceships. His father started working in the Corellian Engineering Corporation, what made Igneus' interest on spaceships increase even more. The first decade of his life his interest fell most of all in the technical side of the ships, and Igneus studied all the basics.

At the age of 12, his father was planning to sell the old family personal freighter ship, the Leira, because it was not having any use, it was broken and needed complete and expensive repairs, as it couldn't even fly. His father stated the cost of the reparation wasn't worth it. Igneus begged his father not to sell it and instead letting him do the repairs. Igneus worked hard day and night at various jobs to afford the rare replacement pieces needed and tried to repair the ship. When his father saw this, he helped the young Igneus to repair the ship, and after a month the ship was operational again. As a reward for his hard work, Petrus promised Igneus that he would be the new owner of the ship when he has the required age. Fulfilling his promise, 9 years later, when Igneus got the majority of age (under the laws of Soronia), Petrus made over the ship to Igneus, and he renamed it Buster. This is one of the happiest moments Igneus retains in his memory.

COMPNOR's propaganda affected a young and innocent Igneus, converting him in a completely loyal Imperial citizen. Although it is located on the Corellian system, being the smaller and farthest planet from Corell, Soronia didn't receive much attention from the Empire, so Igneus often found himself traveling to Corellia to attend Sub-Adult Group meetings, organized by COMPNOR. As years passed Igneus started to learn more and more of the galactic situation, and as a war environment started to reach the Corellian system and the Rebellion became a threat big enough and the war against the Rebellion started to be of common knowledge and reached Igneus' ears, and specially after the Empire acknowledged the existence and declared war to a illegitimate organization called the "Alliance to Restore the Republic", Igneus convinced himself his future was as a pilot in the Imperial Navy.

Imperial Service

As soon as he had the opportunity, he left his small and frozen world and traveled to Corellia to enlist in the Imperial Naval Academy. His application was processed and accepted in Year 7 Day 245. He attended class "06-001" under Lieutenant Deirdreann Moris' tutorship, who would later be his Line Commanding Officer.

He spent 21 days learning about the military procedures, flight tactics, and how to fight. He Passed the Imperial Academy with a score of 85%, becoming a crewman and being assigned to the 4th Imperial Fleet.

Two months after finishing the academy and doing constant routine patrol missions Igneus was promoted to Crewman First Class. During this time he participated in the defense of the Corellian system against a small New Imperial Order strike force, which had lots of repercussions on the Galactic News Service.

A month later he was promoted to Flight Corporal. At that time he volunteered as the 4IF news adjutant, and he daily informed of what happened in the fleet, the Empire and the entire galaxy.

When he was promoted to Flight Sergeant he was assigned as Beta Line Executive Officer, and not long after he was put in charge of the Beta Line as Commodore Morbelis, its CO, was on an extended Leave of Absence.

On Year 8 Day 37 Igneus was promoted to Chief Master Sergeant and assigned as Fleet Executive Officer, with who was at that time a Rear Admiral, Ramos Rob as Fleet CO. The promotion that followed, was when he reached officer grade (Lieutenant JG) only 7 months after joining the Navy, something achieved by few and highly uncommon at that time. At that time he had to drop the News Adjutant position after releasing 11 issues.

Eventually Ramos Rob was assigned as Navy XO, and Captain Sarod Jaeger was assigned as FCO to replace him. During this time Igneus was promoted to full Lieutenant and led the 4IF elements on the Thyferra Mission. There were more than 300 rebel builders arrested by the 4IF alone on that operation, of which also participated Lord Maxamillion Power and several army soldiers. He also lead the 4IF on the Talus/Tralus Mission, an operation meant to recover those worlds from rebel occupation, by taking them before the rebels could install power generators on the planet.

Finally, after Captain Jaeger went into reserves Igneus was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and assigned as CO of the 4th Imperial Fleet on Year 8 Day 254. At that time Igneus led the 4IF on the Zelos Mission, a reconnaissance and intelligence gathering mission on a hidden system owned by pirate factions.

On Year 9 Day 196 he was promoted to the rank of Commander. During this time he led the 4IF on the "Operation Common Goal" on the Empress Teta system, an operation with the Trade Federation, a neutral faction at that time. This was the first joint operation between Imperial and Federal forces, and it could be arguably said that this operation laid the foundations for them to later join the Imperial Union.

Some days before Year 9 Day 344 a rare illness started menacing his life, and he was forced to resign from command of the 4IF. He spent several weeks on Coruscant being examined by the best doctors and recieving bacta treatments, waiting for a cure to be synthesized, something that happened two months later.

Igneus returned to duty as Chief of Staff (and 3rd in command) of the 5th Imperial Fleet, with Vice Admiral Overmind as FCO. In the 5IF he was the leader of the Beta Wing, and also suggested the creation of a newspaper similar to the one he created in the 4IF, and participated in a battle simulation.

After two months serving in the 5IF, he decided to retire from the military. What he learned from his father during his childhood and youth about prospecting and building made his mind: he wanted to follow his father's steps as a builder. He applied for a spot in the Imperial government, but Vizier Orphaea Imperium came to him with a better offer: he wanted Igneus to become the leader and CEO of a recently nationalized faction, Myorzo Weapon Systems. After considering the offer for a couple of days Igneus accepted. He worked in MWS for almost 3 months. He recruited half a dozen new workers and set it up running, before returning to the Imperial military once again, where his skills would be more valuable.

He considered if returning to the Navy, or trying something new. He discussed in private with Brigadier General Bacara Kex, Army CO at that time, about joining the Army. On Year 10 Day 181 he got a notification letting him know that he was accepted, and was to join the 2nd Legion as its XO, with Graeda L'annan as Legion CO. On Year 10 Day 244 he was transferred to the 1st Legion as its new XO, with Inara Imperium as Legion CO. On Year 10 Day 314 was his first promotion in the army, to the rank of Colonel. On Year 11 Day 309 he was promoted to Brigadier General to adjust his rank due to the removal of 4 enlisted ranks, leaving them at only 6 ranks.

On Year 12 Day 57 he retired from the army and went into reserves.

On Year 12 Day 142 he briefly returned to the Navy and was granted the rank of Captain. He was assigned to the 6IF, with Markus Saretti as Fleet CO. Two months later he again went into reserves.

On Year 16 Day 360 he officially returned to service after more than 4 years of being retired of the military life, and was reinstated the rank of Captain.
