Barrow Oicunn/Legends

Barrow Oicunn was an officer in the Republic Navy and later, an Admiral in the Imperial Navy. When the Clone Wars broke out and affected the galaxy at large, Oicunn joined the Humbarine Sector defense forces, which had recently fallen under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic war council. Oicunn's homeworld, Humbarine, suffered repeated attacks from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, prompting the junior officer to adopt inspired tactics within the limitations of Republic protocol. As the war ground on, defense forces were siphoned from Humbarine by the Republic, resulting in a devestating strike from General Grievous. Oicunn's family perished in the decisive Battle of Humbarine, and the planet was abandoned, forcing Oicunn to both reassess his faith in the government, and serve with the mainstream Republic Navy.

Serving with the Coruscant Home Fleet, Oicunn met his sector's representative, Bana Breemu, who declared him a hero of Humbarine. He served aboard the Mas Ramdar during the Battle of Coruscant, and served the Republic faithfully, despite his disenchantment with their policies. He welcomed Palpatine's New Order, believing that a Galactic Empire would be able to maintain peace and justice throughout the galaxy. He had the utmost respect for the rulers of the new regime, and swiftly rose through the ranks of the Imperial Navy, eventually reaching the rank of Admiral.

Biography
At the start of the Clone Wars, Oicunn served in the defense forces of the Humbarine Sector. Following the destruction of Humbarine, his homeworld, he was transferred to the Coruscant Home Fleet, where he served on board the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser Mas Ramdar.

He befriended Humbarine's Senator, Bana Breemu, who declared Oicunn a hero of Humbarine. In 19 BBY, he fought in the Battle of Coruscant, where he survived the destruction of his ship. Soon after the battle, he was transferred to the fleet guarding the construction site of the first Death Star, a massive battle station.

Although privately skeptical about the "Jedi rebellion", Oicunn was not a strong supporter of the inefficient Republic, and welcomed the new Galactic Empire. Following the Empire's formation, Lieutenant Oicunn served aboard a Venator-class Star Destroyer that was assigned to guard the Death Star during the earliest stages of its construction.

To his delight, the ship was temporarily home to Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, while Vader was engaged in constructing a new lightsaber.

Oicunn was later promoted to Admiral and proudly became a stormtrooper template.
