Personal History

Early Years

From Warzone to Core World

Pyxley was born amid the initial turmoil of the Galactic Civil War, sometime between Year 3 and Year 5 CGT. His place of birth remains unrecorded, but circumstantial evidence and surviving manifests suggest he originated from a contested region in the Outer Rim Territories - possibly a border world near the Kathol Outback or the fringes of the Tapani Sector. These war-torn areas, left destabilised by decades of insurgency and collapsing local governance, saw mass evacuations of non-combatants during regional infighting.

The infant who would later be known as Pyxley arrived on Coruscant aboard a civilian relief freighter, part of a refugee wave escorted by Imperial-aligned security contractors during an emergency stabilisation initiative. Lacking any personal documentation, clan markings, or identifiable ancestry, the boy was temporarily cataloged under the alphanumeric designation PX-01426 and placed in Refugee Ward 3-C, located in the lower precincts of Coruscant. Medical scans indicated he was a Kiffar infant, likely between eight to ten months old at the time of intake. He bore no known clan tattoos or genetic registry match, an unusual circumstance for his species and possibly a consequence of early displacement or mixed parentage. Despite the uncertainty of his origins, his biometric profile was noted for strong vitals and high adaptability.

Adoption & Upbringing

At approximately two standard years old, PX-01426 was formally adopted by Jorren and Elia Astralis, a mid-spire couple residing in an affluent district within a major administrative zone on Coruscant, and in close proximity to various Imperial ministries. The Astralises were career civil servants with impeccable records and a long-standing loyalty to the restructured Imperial Union. Their decision to adopt was reportedly motivated by a combination of personal conviction and public duty, in line with the Imperial ethos of restoring galactic order through responsible civic action.

Under the care of the Astralises, Pyxley was formally registered as a Coruscanti citizen and given his forename, a blend of archaic Kiffar roots and modern High Galactic flair - and their surname, solidifying his position within a structured, loyalist household. His early childhood was shaped by an atmosphere of rigid routine and civic instruction. Holidays followed Imperial commemorations. Even leisure activities often doubled as lessons in discipline and history. While the Astralises were not unkind, they were deliberate in shaping Pyxley into a useful and upright Imperial subject.

Though he never questioned his place in their home, Pyxley grew up acutely aware of his status as “adopted” and “foreign-born.” His parents, while never cruel or dismissive, regarded his Kiffar ancestry as a detail to be managed, not celebrated. His upbringing was sanitized of cultural references to Kiffex or Kiffu. He would only learn of the Kiffar clans much later, through informal channels and research.

Early Education and Development

Pyxley received his early education at the Thalus-Draay Preparatory Academy, a regulated academic institution located within the mid-spire zones of Coruscant. The school, known for producing candidates suited to civil service and military entry programs, provided a structured environment where Pyxley performed reliably across the standard curriculum. He showed particular aptitude in mechanical systems and introductory engineering principles.

Outside the classroom, Pyxley developed a quiet reputation for his performance in athletics - most notably boloball, where he earned a midfield position on the academy team by his mid-teens. His playstyle was methodical, emphasizing field control and endurance over spectacle. Coaches and peers alike regarded him as a dependable both in matches and in training.

Socially, Pyxley remained reserved but cooperative. He formed several lasting friendships, primarily through team sports, and participated in group projects without seeking leadership. Instructors described him as composed and observant, the type of student who contributed more in execution than in discussion. On rare occasions, he questioned elements of theoretical instruction, particularly in civics classes where ideological assertions lacked practical alignment. These moments, though infrequent, were noted by faculty. Elia Astralis viewed such questioning as a deviation from proper doctrinal absorption, while Jorren interpreted it as a minor expression of independent reasoning.

Upon completion of his preparatory education, Pyxley was accepted into a regional vocational institute tied with Coruscant University, where he pursued a specialised program in Strategic Defence Engineering. The field focused on military-grade infrastructure, defensive systems design, and planetary logistics and was intended to prepare students for deployment in civil-military capacities across Imperial space. His selection into the program reflected both his technical strengths and his physical conditioning, placing him on a trajectory toward applied service roles aligned with the Empire’s ongoing stabilisation efforts.

Professional History

Imperial Academy - Prakrith

Pyxley Astralis enrolled in the Imperial Academy on Prakith on Year 26 Day 186, shortly after re-entering Imperial jurisdiction. His training was overseen by Training Officer Lieutenant Malachi Forfax, under whose supervision he undertook the standard theoretical and practical modules required of all students. From the outset, Astralis displayed a high level of personal discipline, physical fitness, and attention to detail. Though there is no formal record, Astralis is believed to have been involved in organising an unsanctioned boloball match between students and junior faculty during a short break between exams. The game, allegedly held on a floodlit practice field behind a hangar, drew quiet praise from both participants and observers for its spirit and professionalism, though no personnel formally acknowledged the event.

He maintained a steady academic performance throughout the course, showing strength in all areas. Noted for his quiet confidence and self-directed work ethic, upon completion of his final exams he achieved an exemplary score of 100%.

Upon reviewing the result, Lieutenant Malachi Forfax remarked:

"I'm astounded by your perfect score - I've only ever seen one other recruit achieve such a feat. Well done!"

— Training Officer Lieutenant Malachi Forfax

Astralis graduated with Honours on Year 26 Day 191 and was subsequently assigned to the Regional Government to begin his career in service of The Empire.
