Dallan Morvis

"It's your career or your life, Morvis. Don't take too long deciding."

- Saul Karath, to Morvis

Dallan Morvis was the second-in-command aboard the Courageous during the Mandalorian Wars. He fought at the battles at Vanquo, Serroco, and Omonoth and was later promoted to the rank of captain and placed in the command of his own capital ship, Veltraa.

Biography
His father was the founder the Coruscant Financial Exchange and a his mother - the senator from Chandrila, so Dallan Morvis has been obviously groomed for big things. But instead of typical thrust into the Naval Academy at Coruscant, Morvis choose to become an asset to the Admiralty.

Upon graduation, he became a junior liaison between the Vanjervalis design team and Admiral Sommos's staff. That assignment eventually lead him to promotion to lieutenant and his first bridge posting on Reciprocity under command on then-Captain Saul Karath. Morvis saw in Karath leader on the rise, so he followed him to Courageous - and right into the Mandalorian Wars.

But on Courageous, Morvis encountered a rival in the junior officer Carth Onasi. Onasi shared both Karath's hardscrabble beginnings and penchant for quick and sometimes reckless decision-making - neither of which apply to the high-born, calculating Morvis. In Carth Morvis saw a competitor for the admiral's favor, so he struggled to make life more difficult for him.

When fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick was brought onbard nd later joined them on the escape from Serroco, Morvis showed no sympathy for Onasi's new friend. But it was Onasi and Carrick, without whom Morvis would never escape a career-ending disaster aboard the Arkanian Legacy. There, Morvis suggested to Karath that the Republic use exogorths - weaponized space slugs capable of decimating star systems - to create a firewall of scorched systems between itself and the Mandalorians and urged him to bargain for Republic control of the slugs. But Onasi and Carrick brought the affair to an unfortunate end, leaving Morvis with empty hands back on Coruscant.

This time however, Morvis choose to turn to his political connections, which resulted in him not only escaping punishment but also winning a captaincy aboard Karath's successor vessel, the Swiftsure and soon enough - the command of his own capital ship, Veltraa. Morvis, thus, continued to show his talents as a survivor willing to do anything to protect his position - a hidden element of Karath's character he struggled to imitate and cultivate.
