Sil Sorannan

Major Sil Sorannan was an officer in the Imperial military. It is unknown what branch Sorannan was an officer of, as his rank and black uniform provide little direction. It is known that Sorannan worked as part of a military research team doing work on experimental hyperphysics early in his career.

In 4 ABY, Sorannan was stationed with Black Sword Command in the Koornacht Cluster. As Imperial forces began to withdraw, the Command fell to the swift Yevethan insurrection and Sorannan was one of a handful of survivors.

Relocated to a prison camp on Pa'aal, Sorannan became the de facto leader of his fellow Imperial prisoners and formed a secret command group known as the Camp Pa'aal Squadron. The group plotted to strike against their Yevethan overseers when the moment was right, a plan that was expedited when the Imperial prisoners were dispatched across the Yevethan fleet to aid in the war effort. Sorannan was stationed in the fire control center of Pride of Yevetha and charged with maintaining the data server for the target registry and its electronic links throughout the ship.

During the Battle of N'zoth, Sorannan and his shadow command used a built-in slave circuit to gain control of the starships that once formed Black Sword Command. From the bridge of Pride of Yevetha, Sorannan informed the New Republic that he and Black Sword Command were rejoining the Empire, and the fleet entered hyperspace for the Deep Core. Enroute to their destination, Sorannan saw to it that Nil Spaar was deposited into hyperspace aboard an escape pod.
