Captain Kerluv Fes

Overview

Captain Kerluv Fes is a Separatist naval officer currently serving as Commanding officer of the Providence Class vessel the "Odveta" along with a Separatist naval strike force group operating in the Corellia System. He is known for his vicious, unforgiving, and direct attitude for Naval Warfare along with the infamous events of the Juiris - 5 Massacre.

Early Life

Orthoranum "Kerluv" Fes hails from the picturesque core world of Chandrila, one of the founding worlds of the Galactic Republic. He was born into the minor noble family of House Fes, an ancient rival to the Mothma clan which had entered obscurity in the past few centuries. His father, an officer in the Republic Judicial Fleet, placed him in a prestigious naval academy on Corellia shortly before his assassination at the hands of pirates in the Outer Rim. There, he excelled at naval tactics and became first in his class due to his robust knowledge of fleet on fleet warfare along with brutal sabotage of his classmates. Hated by much of his fellow cadets, he established his own clique of a few loyal students at the academy who would sabotage rivals and report to him on the every doings of the student body. As a result of his excellent grades and proficient skill, he was immediately commissioned with the Captaincy of a light judicial craft upon graduation rather than made a staff or training officer.

Military Career

In the years leading up the clone wars, Lieutenant Commander Fes assisted in Outer Rim Security and diplomatic missions, becoming renowned as a welcome exception to the rule in a Judicial Fleet plagued by corruption. Shortly before the start of the Clone wars, as his vessel was docked at a small Outer Rim Outpost, he was contacted by a regretful member of the pirate band which had killed his father. Rather than an attempted heist gone wrong on a valuable Judicial Fleet Cargo Transport, his father's death was in reality a paid assassination by a rival Chandrilan house! Evidence was provided to him of an entire conspiracy approved by members of Chandrilan aristocracy and the Judicial Fleet command to kill his father and later Orthoranum to seize their valuable ancient estates, finally extinguishing the despised House Fes. Given a list of names of fellow conspirators in the Judicial Fleet, Captain Fes invited sixteen of them of them (including Judicial Fleet Vice Admiral Borsa) to Outpost Juiris - 5 for a meeting regarding the expansion of Outer Rim piracy. The outpost was filled with over two hundred requisitioned Thermal Detonators and completely destroyed upon the group's arrival. With a paper trail of evidence on him for the murder of Judicial Fleet officers, Captain Fes jettisoned disloyal members of his crew out of an airlock and began hit and run attacks on isolated Republic bases in the Outer Rim. 

Later contacted by CIS agents, he was offered an opportunity to meet with a member of the burgeoning Separatist movement in regards to joining it. He accepted the meeting and was forwarded the details, before ultimately murdering the remaining pirates for their participation in the murder of his father. Entering a meeting with an undescriptive Neimoidian gentlemen, he was offered a capital ship in the newly formed Separatist Navy and the opportunity to bring death to those who had wronged him. He accepted and was shortly after transferred to High Admiral Pax's fleet.

Prior to the operation on Rhen, Captain Fes and his new vessel, the Providence class "Odveta" (Vengeance) were ordered by High Admiral Pax to inspect Separatist Naval defenses on occupied Corellia. As he arrives at the world, Captain Fes finds the Shipyard of the Galaxy under siege by the Republic and swears to enact total vengeance on the Republic slime who dishonored his family and killed his father. His greatest goal is to burn the mountains of Chandrila to smoldering husks and to turn the grass of the Mothma clan's villas to ash. For he is the Ravager, the "Kerluv" of all those who stand in the way of vengeance

Abilities

Captain Fes has an aggressive and opportunistic strategy in battle. He is ruthless to his enemies and never accepts surrender. Prior to a battle, Fes analyzes all possible angles of attack along with the chances the enemy has at victory. He always attempts to engineer situations which lead to the Republic oftentimes sabotaging themselves. However, Captain Fes takes great pride in his own superiority over Republic tacticians which paired with his rapid mental decline has resulted in an inability to analyze battles once they have started. Upon the beginning of a battle, Fes will be reduced to the exact strategy he had previously developed with the exception of rapid offensive action. Relying on brute force, the old Captain has very much been transformed from the genius tactical prodigy to a brutal and merciless commander that sees casualties and long term prospects as no obstacle..
