Hello, and welcome to my user page. I usually contribute to What's The Story? on StarWars.com, where I go by the name of "DARTHBRIAN81" or "J_Nebulax".

-

"Nebulax, you're the worst thing that ever happened to the Empire." "Really? Then why was I asked by Lord Vader to kill you?"

- One of Nebulax's superior officers, before his death, and Nebulax

Jack Nebulax was a Grand Admiral in the Imperial Navy who would eventually become Emperor of his own empire.

Early military career (56 BBY–19 BBY)
"I don't know where Nebulax came from, but it couldn't have been a good place."

- Unknown Rebel officer

Born on an unknown world, possibly Zhar, during the time of the Galactic Republic, Jack Nebulax was destined to become a major player in galactic events.

Around 33 BBY, Nebulax met Vladius Magnum, and the two soon became friends.

However, about a year or so later, Nebulax decided to leave for Coruscant to see if he could make a living there. He first entered a military career onboard a Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser in the Republic Navy. In 20 BBY, he was transfered to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Quasar Flame, which was the home of the 73rd Shadow Battalion, made up of shadow troopers under the command of Clone Commander Shadow-7. He served in many actions during the Clone Wars and soon became a captain onboard the Republic Star Destroyer.

In 19 BBY, after Order 66 was issued, Nebulax fled with his Jedi General to Had Abbadon. About a year later, Nebulax longed to return to Coruscant, so he alerted the stormtrooper forces searching for the Jedi General on the whereabouts of the traitorous Jedi. When he returned to Coruscant, he joined the Imperial Navy and received command of a new Venator-class Star Destroyer stationed in the Outer Rim Territories, the region of the Galaxy under the command of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.

Imperial service (19 BBY–4 ABY)
"For your success in defending Zhar, I hereby promote you to the rank of Commodore. Congratulations, Nebulax."

- Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

In his first few years as an Imperial officer, Captain Nebulax was soon promoted to commodore for his actions in the defense of Zhar in 16 BBY and received his own flagship, the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Nebulax's Fist.

For a short time, he dated Kannen Doom, but they broke up after she ran into Boba Fett, the cloned son of Kannen's old boyfriend.

Upon recovering from breaking up with Kannen, Nebulax fell in love with and married Alexia Far'shadow, a native of Corellia and an Imperial Intelligence officer. After their wedding, Nebulax became the owner of a TC-series protocol droid, named TC-17, and a R2-series astromech droid, named R2-Q9, both of which had been gifts from Alexia Far'shadow's brother Dak, another Intelligence officer. Nebulax would later use these droids for infilitration purposes.

During this time, Nebulax's fleet participated in a blockade of Nar Shaddaa, where Imperial forces attempted to destroy Aurodium Sword.

A year or so later, while on a patrol mission, pirates boarded Nebulax's Fist, and many lives were lost, mainly on the Imperials' side. After the pirate leader was captured, he sent off a thermal detonator in the Star Destroyer's hangar bay, taking off Nebulax's right arm in the process. After the last of the pirates were defeated, a B2 super battle droid arm took the place of Nebulax's severed arm at his request, making him a cyborg. He even made sure that the mechanical arm's blaster was operational, just in case he didn't have his trusty blaster pistol at his side.



Due to the fact that he became a cyborg, some of his senior officers began to think of him as weak and unworthy to be in the Imperial Navy, despite the fact that there were other cyborgs in it. Nebulax, upon finding out about this, sabotaged their shuttles, hired bounty hunters, and paid non-alligned fleets to "fight" the fleets of Nebulax's superiors and kill the commanding officer one way or another. No one knew that Nebulax had been behind all that, except for his second-in-command.

While his superiors were being killed, Nebulax nearly vaporized a small suspected Rebel freighter near Zhar in 11 BBY, causing the commander to flee. Nebulax's Fist almost pursued, but Commodore Nebulax decided to spare the lives of all those aboard the transport.

Sometime after the destruction of the first Death Star, Nebulax dueled a clone of Count Dooku named Darth Cogito on the bridge of Nebulax's Fist. After the clone managed to defeat him, Nebulax used the blaster of his super battle droid arm against the cloned Separatist leader. However, the clone managed to sabotage a tractor beam projector onboard the Star Destroyer, the result of which was his easy escape.

With the majority of his commanding officers out of the way, Nebulax accepted a few more promotions, making it to the rank of Rear Admiral by the time of the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY). He then fought in a battle over Felucia against Rebel forces commanded by Chack Jadson. However, a year later, Nebulax and his fleet were in the middle of a battle with a small Rebel fleet in the Unknown Regions when he and his fellow officers learned of Emperor Palpatine's and Lord Vader's deaths at Endor. Despite the fact that the Rebel fleet was outnumbered, Nebulax ordered his fleet into hyperspace, set for Had Abbadon, where Nebulax had been years before.

Hiding from the New Republic (4 ABY)
"The Rebels may have had a victory at Endor, but they will not have one at Had Abbadon."

- Nebulax, after retreating to Had Abbadon

Upon reaching the world, Nebulax contacted his wife, who had been on Coruscant. She told Nebulax about an uprising on the planet, and that Grand Vizier Sate Pestage was assuming command of the Empire. Nebulax urged his wife to come to Had Abbadon with their two droids, and sure enough, a Lambda-class shuttle carrying his wife and droids arrived a day later.

However, something else happened that would change Nebulax's life. A few days later, an Alliance MC80a Star Cruiser, along with many CR90 corvettes, EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigates, GR-75 medium transports, Corellian gunships, Action VI transports, and numerous starfighters, appeared in orbit around the planet. The battle for Had Abbadon would be a long and hard one, but after two days of commanding his fleet with no sleep, Nebulax and his new defensive fleet of the planet prevailed, capturing the MC80a and other Rebel ships and destroying the rest.

After this victory, Nebulax realized the Empire was dying&mdash;the "New Republic" was becoming stronger and Palpatine, the Emperor of the Galaxy, had been defeated. Without Palpatine, the Imperial forces were like children's holotoys scattered about a holographic playing room. Nebulax knew he couldn't fight the Rebel forces. While still supporting the Empire, he made his fleet the Had Abbadon Defense Fleet. Shortly after that, he created the Nebulax Empire with himself as Emperor.

In charge of an empire (4 ABY–c.40 ABY)
"Your husband has just become Emperor of his own empire, Alexia. What do you think of that?" "I think it's good way to strike fear into the Rebellion's heart."

- Dak Far'shadow and Alexia Nebulax

During this time, Emperor Nebulax hired a small subdivision of Industrial Automaton to create the ZX-73 ultimate security droid&mdash;a battle droid so powerful that it could destroy a building by firing one of its powerful blasters at the base of it. Once in use alongside stormtroopers, Nebulax believed that his empire would soon been powerful enough to destroy the New Republic. Once the first few groups of ZX-73s were in deployment, he began to plan Operation Regroup and Destroy. Under the regrouping part, he planned to contact the leaders of the various remnants of the Empire and unite them with his empire. Under the destroying part, the combined fleets and armies would conquer every known New Republic-controlled planet and destroy the New Republic once and for all.

However, Nebulax's plans failed, as the remnants of the Empire became too busy in fighting each other.

The actions of Nebulax's empire up until the end of the Dark Nest Crisis are unknown.

Under the leadership of a Sith (42 ABY–c. 45 ABY)
"Nebulax is a loyal Admiral. It's only fair that he serve under a Sith."

- Jacen Solo

Nebulax gradually began to lose faith in having a reunited Empire. Not wanting to waste his time fighting the New Republic, Nebulax cut off almost all contact with the rest of the Galaxy. But Nebulax's empire would soon play a major part in the reunification of the Empire in 42 ABY.

A Sith apprentice named Jacen Solo would soon become a major player in galactic events. Under the leadership of the mysterious Lumiya, Solo recreated the events of 19 BBY. He began another purge of the Jedi and, with the help of the now-Grand Admiral Nebulax, reunited the various Imperial remnants for Jacen. Although his title of Emperor was lost, Nebulax knew he had given it up for the better.

Nebulax eventually returned to Zhar, where Jacen's sister Jaina and her husband Zekk attempted to sabotage Nebulax's fleet. They succeeded in bringing the weapons systems of Nebulax's new Executor-class Star Dreadnought offline long enough for the pair to escape. Jack vowed to personally capture Jaina and hand her over to Jacen. In the meantime, he transferred back to Nebulax's Fist as the Star Dreadnought was being repaired.

Eventually, Nebulax later discovered a Jedi safehouse. With the Imperial fleet under his command, Nebulax began to attack this safehouse. He eventually personally led a legion of stormtroopers down to the safehouse, where Nebulax stunned Zekk and captured Jaina and Zekk's twins. He later took them back to Nebulax's Fist, but Jaina, Zekk, and a person whom Jack had the chance to kill years before were close behind, attempting to infiltrate the warship and free the captive twins.

However, his plans were shattered when a fleet Nebulax had been keeping an eye on appeared. The fleet's commander, after having his forces destroy many of Nebulax's ships, boarded Nebulax's Fist, where Nebulax was forced to accept a peace treaty. However, Jaina Solo, who had rescued her twins, lashed out at Nebulax. However, before a killing blow could be served, the fleet commander who had offered a treaty saved Nebulax's life. Nebulax thought of recruiting his fleet into his Had Abbadon defense forces, but decided not to and so fled. In the end, Jacen was defeated and Nebulax took command of the majority of Jacen's navy, making it his own.

Conflicts with IG-Prime (c. 45 ABY–100 ABY)
"My lord, there's a droid uprising beginning. What shall we do?" "Attack, of course."

- A lieutenant and Nebulax

First conflict
By 84 ABY, a 140-year-old Nebulax still appeared to be in his early sixties, thanks to advanced medical technology found during his time under Jacen Solo. By now, he had given the title of Emperor to his son, which allowed Nebulax to personally take command of his fleet once again. He was still known as "Emperor Nebulax" by all under his command.

About a decade or so later, Nebulax, still appearing younger than he was, learned of a new government called the Confederacy of Free Droids. Knowing that droids had rebelled in the long ago past, Nebulax ordered his fleet to attack their forces, centered around Mechis III. With the permission of his son, something Jack found to be rather odd, Nebulax attacked Droid Space in what would become the Droid-Imperial War. Although outnumbered, Nebulax had secret allies to provide him with credits and more warships and vehicles. Then, the fighting stopped for almost eight weeks.

But the war did not end there. In the Battle of Mechis III, Nebulax personally led the ground forces against IG-Prime's and 4-LOM's army. Little did Jack know that he had dueled IG-Prime once before, since IG-Prime was once Darth Cogito. He marched into IG-Prime's throne room with his elite guards and fought, Imperials against battle droids. Using his upgraded super battle droid arm, Nebulax destroyed droid after droid before setting his eyes on IG-Prime. However, Nebulax's guard ended up being completely destroyed.

But that didn't stop Nebulax. Grabbing a force pike, he stabbed IG-Prime. But despite being severely damaged, the droid said he was about to download his conscious into the planet's central computer. But Nebulax quickly replied that he would soon be destroyed. As he was ready to smash the droid's head with his foot, Zuckuss and 4-LOM entered the room. Caught by surprise, Nebulax turned&mdash;only to see 4-LOM blow his super battle droid arm to pieces. Stumbling back, Nebulax saw Zuckuss and 4-LOM escape with the crippled body of IG-Prime. Admitting defeat, Nebulax retreated back to his shuttle in the opposite direction.

As his fleet, which surprisingly hadn't received much casualties, headed back for Had Abbadon, Nebulax received an advanced super battle droid arm to replace his old one. Clenching his new mechanical fist, Nebulax vowed revenge for his defeat.

Second conflict
By 100 ABY, Nebulax once again came into conflict with IG-Prime. The droid's forces, according to one of Nebulax's scout ship, were building something "that looked a lot like a superweapon". It turned out that this superweapon was the ancient Star Forge, and it was being upgraded with numerous weapons. Realizing that IG-Prime had defeated him once before, Nebulax took this as an opportunity to defeat the droid and use the Star Forge for his own purposes.

Later life (c. 137 ABY)
By 137 ABY, it was rumored that Nebulax was in command of a Star Dreadnought in the New Galactic Empire.

New Imperial Navy
In addition to the ships used by the original Imperial Navy, Nebulax's empire had its own starships manufactured.

Warships

 * Palpatine-class Star Dreadnought&mdash;a Star Dreadnought created as part of an exclusive Kuat Drive Yards contract that officially never existed. As large as a Sovereign-class Star Dreadnought, the Palpatine-class possessed firepower almost equal to that of an Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought. With only one in existance, Palpatine, it is the symbol of Nebulax's fleet.


 * Aurora-class Star Cruiser&mdash;roughly the size of a Gauntlet-class Star Cruiser, these Star Cruisers' main purpose was to guard Had Abbadon from any attacks.
