Significant Events of Childhood and Adolescence: DS-61-4 was born on the planet Bordal during the civil war with its sister planet Kuan that lasted nearly 20 years, until the conflict ended suddenly through the intervention of the Empire. When the civil war was going on and he was a teen, DS-61-4 would compete swoop races.

Significant Events of Adulthood: When he was the legal age, DS-61-4 joined the B. A. S. A. (Bordal Air and Space Academy) where he graduated and flew a Planetary Fighter against the Kuan Naval Corp. After a lot of conflicts and kills, the Empire ended the war and forced peace between the two planets. Relieved that the war was over and proud of what the Empire done, he signed to join the Empire. After gruesome training, a lot of studying, and discipline DS-61-4 graduated with honors as a pilot at the Imperial Navy Academy at Carida. There, after showing his dogfighting, bomber escort, and helping preventing several rebel raids, he was promoted and got a great reputation. A little while later, he was transferred to the infamous Death Star and had to go through training once more, this time a lot harder. After the 8 week course he was assigned to the feared "Black Squadron" and serving with the darklord himself Darth Vader. His first major battle was the "Battle of Yavin" and was one of the very few to survive, he destroyed 1 Y-Wing and 1 X-wing. After getting a medal for bravery and promoted, he was assigned to the Death Squadron which consisted of Darth Vader's flagship the Executor and several Imperial Star Destroyers and support ships. Flew after the Millennium Falcon right before it was going to be captured and went into hyperspace. Fought at the Battle of Endor and got numerous kills including 7 Y-Wings, 5 X-wing, and 1 A-Wing, went into the trench and back up to the surface, nearly getting killed by the explosion of the 2nd Death Star. After that, Dark Curse got into a lot of smaller battles and 2 infamous ones, The Assault of Rallitir and the Assault of Mon Calamari. After the dreaded "Battle of Endor", Dark Curse went back to Bordal to try to get Imperial loyalist. (The rest of the mission is to remain classified Art 4:402-406, 408). He was then transferred to the "Emperors Hammer" Fleet under the command of Grand Admiral Ronin, and got into plenty of battles. While in the Emperor's Hammer he was assigned to the very feared "Crusader Squadron" under the command of Captain Thrawn. After flying leader in his TIE Interceptor flight for almost 20 missions and making the rank of Lieutenant, Dark Curse was transferred again, this time to the recently new "Echo Squadron" on the ISD Vanguard. Under the command of CMDR "Invader". After CMDR Invader's transfer LT DS-61-4 was promoted to CM/CMDR DS-61-4 and took control of Echo Squadron. Under his command for nearly 5 months, DS-61-4 and Echo Squadron has become an infamous squadron (and person). They flew many missions...and lost some very good pilots (Sub- Lieutenant Pter Cracken, Lieutenant Julius Calion, etc.) Many stories, combat simulator missions, and more are now told about Echo Squadron and there VIP Escort. They never lost a single VIP in combat (Only 1 shuttle threw a sabotage before the flight, when someone (an Alliance spy, Name: Classified) detonated the shuttle while in flight). With the "disappearance" of the last Commodore, and 2 days before Rear Admiral Pryium made his appearance as Commodore. DS-61-4 was promoted to Major and Wing Commander of Wing XV aboard the ISD Vanguard. After Rear Admiral Patel's promotion to Vice Admiral and BGCOM of the Aggressor Strike Force, DS-61-4 was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and under the command of Rear Admiral Blade. After being awarded a Silver Star of the Empire, DS-61-4 had to return to the Taroon System, back to his home planet on Bordal. He was allowed 2 months leave, and a secret mission, for the safety of Bordali citizens, and the safety of Imperial officals on the planet Bordal. After his 2 month "successful" trip to back from the Taroon System, Dark Curse was brought back to duty and back to Wing XV. This time to Python Squadron. After many missions with Python Squadron and flying in the TIE Advance, DS-61-4 transferred out of Python back to Echo Squadron. He was Flight Leader for Flight II of TIE Bombers. After Major Archon's unfortunate resignation of Squadron Commander for Echo Squadron, DS-61-4 was promoted to the rank of CMDR for Echo Squadron.

Alignment and Attitude: Well disciplined, very loyal to the Empire.

Former Occupations: Former pilot for the B.A.S.A.

Hobbies: Flight simulators, reading, studying, and flying.

Tragedies: Saw the collapse of the Galactic Empire. (All personal matters are classified at this time.)

Phobias and Allergies: None.

Personal View of the Empire and EH: "Without the Empire, and the visions of our Emperor, there would be no justice, nor happiness." "The Emperor's Hammer is the best thing that has happened to me since I joined the Empire." "The Empire signifies control and discipline in the whole universe and must destroy the pitiful Alliance." "The Rebellion stands for pirates and thieves trying to have everything there way. Just because they do not like the way a few things are govern doesn't mean they need to resort to violence and destruction, instead, why not use negotiations and peace meetings.

Reason for enlisting in the EH: After the fall of the Empire, there was a split in the once mighty fleets and all went there separate ways, trying to survive on what they had, and getting away from the new republic, when Dark Curse went into hiding, he cracked on the Bothan Spy Net, and found out about the Emperor's Hammer, he contacted a friend/officer that got him a shuttle directly to the massive fleet itself.

Other Comments: DS-61-4's INPR has information, "classified" with permission of High Command(Classified by Imperial rule: Article 4-Sections 402-406, 408) for most officers of the Empire, all changes have been approved by High Command and DS-61-4....
