Biography[]
The faction genocides[]
- "Has there been any reply? Any signal from the planet?"
"No reply, Colonel. Reading energy spikes from the surface—I believe they're powering up ion cannons."
"Very well. Send the order to move in." - ―Soran Keize and Heirorius
Heirorius begun serving the Galactic Empire around 15 BBY,[2] spending around twenty years working in the Empire's military.[1] By 5 ABY,[2] he served on the planet Dybbron III, which had split from the Empire's loyalists after the death of the Galactic Emperor[1] in 4 ABY.[3] That year,[2] however, the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, a unit serving under Colonel Soran Keize as part of the loyalist forces, sought to devastate the planet for going rogue. The fighter wing offered to accept willing recruits before the attack, and Heirorius willingly joined the unit to escape the destruction of civilization at Dybbron III.[1]
Holding the rank of Lieutenant by that point, Heirorius was assigned to a comscan station at the bridge of the 204th's flagship, the bulk freighter Yadeez. The fighter wing soon traveled to the planet Fedovoi End, which had also split off from the Imperial loyalists under the rule of the breakaway faction Yomo Council. After the Yadeez and its escorts arrived before the world, Keize broadcast an announcement to Fedovoi End and Heirorius frequently looked over to Captain Oratio Nenvez.[1]
When the colonel asked if there was any reply from the planet, the lieutenant reported no reply, but added that there were energy spikes, which they suspected were ion cannons being powered up. Keize subsequently had the bridge crew proceeded to relay orders for 204th assets to move in to begin the attack. The attack resulted in the 204th shattering Fedovoi End's ice caps, opening up gas pockets and poisoning the atmosphere and population.[1]
New Republic pursuit[]
- "Lark again?"
- ―Teso Broosh, to Heirorius
Shortly after, the Yadeez and its escorts were pursued through a number of star systems by the New Republic refitted Star Destroyer Deliverance and its starfighter wing. The 204th vessels soon reached the ancient manmade ocean world Chadawa, another target of the unit which had split from the Imperial loyalists. When the 204th attacked the planet, it sheltered under Chadawa's cage of mechanical planetary rings, sabotaging satellites which channeled radiation while Deliverance's wing attacked the unit.[1]
During the fighting, Heirorius was at their station when Starfighter Commander Wyl Lark of the Deliverance's wing contacted the 204th. The lieutenant waved to Keize and Second Lieutenant Commander Teso Broosh. Broosh asked Heirorius if it was Lark contacting, which the latter confirmed. The colonel and Lark then spoke, agreeing to have a one on one duel while their fighter wings held back. After Keize agreed on his end, he gestured Heirorius to close the comm channel.[1]
Behind the scenes[]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The events of Victory's Price: An Alphabet Squadron Novel begin after the Cerberon system campaign, and the novel also features the Battle of Jakku at the end of its three main sections. Since Star Wars: Timelines dates both of those conflicts to 5 ABY, the main events of Victory's Price must therefore be set in that year. Since the novel describes Heirorius as a twenty-year veteran of the Galactic Empire, he must have begun serving the Empire around 15 BBY.
