"He always struck me as the type of person who had a plan. Not that he always knew what to do at any given moment-- he didn't. But in the end, it was always as if he had some grand ultimate goal.''" "''Well, now we know what that plan was. On a galactic scale."

- Jaina Solo and Kyle Katarn discussing their former apprentice

The former Jedi Knight often known only as the Royal Amethyst or just Amethyst, was a Human and Arkanian Offshoot sentient born on the planet Lexrul. In 38 ABY, Amethyst found his way to Coruscant where he was quickly discovered to be Force-sensitive. Informally trained by then Grand Master Luke Skywalker, he was officially trained by Jedi Knight Jaina Solo and finally Jedi Master Kyle Katarn.

In 43 ABY, shortly before Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala had Luke Skywalker arrested and exiled from his own Jedi Order, Amethyst disappeared into the Unknown Regions, privately securing his own independent empire. Shortly afterwards, as Grand Admiral and Supreme Commander of his empire, Amethyst made his Great Utopian Empire known to the galaxy. Displaying only fierce pride in his empire's economic stability and amiable good-will toward the Galactic Alliance and Imperial Remnant, it was unknown what, if any, intentions the new nation leader had for the galaxy. Maintaining civil distrust of the new Utopian Empire, the Galactic Alliance refused to open trade with the Unknown Region dwellers. Amethyst took considerable effort to expand his empire through completely legitimate means, either by absorbing independent planets in the Unknown Regions or by offering economic stability to GA and Imperial-aligned worlds at the edges of the known galaxy.

As of 44.5 ABY, Amethyst and his empire had developed a modest defense fleet for the protection of his planets. Secretly, however, the Utopian Empire was building a massive war fleet deep in the Unknown Regions, unbeknownst to many even in his own empire. Amethyst was preparing for a war which he was not expecting to initiate.
