However, the commander of that ship, Doriana, managed to convince Mitth’raw’nuruodo of the glory of the Empire and the need to destroy the Jedi. This resulted in Mitth’raw’nuruodo, otherwise known as Thrawn, intercepting and destroying the outbound flight project when it entered the Unknown Regions.

Endor-Present
After a several years of turmoil in the Empire and the galaxy, a man named Stryker would become Emperor and the Empire would regain strength. The Rebel Alliance consolidated itself further and the galaxy became split nearly in 2. Factions such as the Black Sun Dominion, Katana Fleet, The Crime Syndicate, and Ghost Legion would exist in neutral areas and feed off of both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. A few years after Stryker’s elevation to Emperor, while Phredrick and his comrades were away completing a job, much of the Crimson Scythe Mercenary Guild’s families were wiped out in a surprise Rebel Alliance strike to clear the area of pirates for an Alliance base. When Phredrick and his comrades returned in the VSD Black Sun the Rebels ran to hyperspace, but the damage was done. This act awakened a lot in Phredrick that had remained dormant since his awakening. Shortly after, Ghost, Chains, Sylin, Scorpion, and several other members of CSM joined the Empire to help destroy the Rebel Alliance and seek revenge for their families. They were all assigned to the elite Rapier squadron and given ranks in the Imperial Navy. As members of Rapier Squadron, they continually led the charge deep into the heart of the Rebel Alliance with victory after victory for the Empire. While most remained pilots and later retired as pilots, Ghost was elevated through the ranks to eventually assume command of the entire Imperial Navy with the rank of Grand Admiral. As Grand Admiral he led the Imperial Navy without defeat through multiple campaigns against the Rebel Alliance, destroying even the feared Rogue Squadron multiple times. Later, when Stryker decided it was time to step down, Phredrick was elevated to replace him.

As Emperor, Phredrick used the resources at his disposal to finally discover the truth about his past. He sent emissaries to make contact with the Chiss and re-established contact with Thrawn. He soon learned that Thrawn was actually his great-nephew and was overjoyed at the news. Shortly thereafter the Ithsal managed to overrun the entire Unknown Regions despite Thrawn’s leadership. Through a final message from Thrawn, Phredrick learned of his utter defeat by the Ithsal and the complete destruction of the Unknown Region civilizations. He also learned that according to Thrawn the Ithsal seemed unaware of the existence of the core or anything else beyond Wild Space. As a result, Phredrick issued a decree that the Unknown Regions were to be quarantined and either destroyed or buried all the information regarding Thrawn and the Ithsal deep in the Imperial databanks. Phredrick never truly believed that the Ithsal had completely defeated Thrawn. As a result, he began secretly training a naval officer named Ripper to succeed him as Emperor. When Ripper was ready, Phredrick left instructions for Ripper and seemingly disappeared from the galaxy altogether.

During Phredrick’s time as Emperor, he secretly maintained a variety of command centers throughout the Empire and abroad. After his disappearing act, he returned to the main one in Mount Tantiss on Wayland. This particular data center he had inherited from Emperor Palpatine and, due to the capabilities of the location, Phredrick had chosen it as his primary base of operations. He set about rigging a cloning system that rivaled the one he found here designed for Palpatine. He then took his Tie Defender into the Unknown Regions in search of Thrawn while constantly transmitting back to Wayland. After months of searching, he discovered that Thrawn indeed was still alive and leading a small band of resistance on the outer rim of the Unknown Regions. They were engaged in geurilla warfare against the Ithsal trying to keep their attention away from Wild Space and the possibility of discovering the Galaxy Proper. However, before Phredrick was able to reach Thrawn, he was discovered by an Ithsal fleet and destroyed.

Many years later back in Mount Tantiss on Wayland, the counter on the cloning cylinders finally reached 0, and Phredrick ‘Ghost’ GhostHunter was reborn. The data center taught him of his life and death. He spent many months learning about how the galaxy had changed. Several Emperors had come and gone and the Empire had fallen even further from grace. To make matters worse, intelligence reported that The Ghost Legion was moving into the Unknown Regions. During the time of his death, borders had shifted and the Empire no longer controlled the entire stretch of Wild Space, his decree seemed to have been lost as Emperors came and went. As the situation developed, The Empire and the Rebel Alliance both followed the Ghost Legion into the Unknown Regions. Knowing that disastor awaited them, Phredrick left his command center to seek out Thrawn once again.

The Galaxy did meet the Ithsal in short order, and the Ithsal devastated all sides. Ghost Legion and the Empire quickly joined forces against the threat, followed later by a shaky treaty with the Alliance. Phredrick’s own former flagship the SSD Supremecy was captured by the Ithsal along with most of the Imperial and Rebel fleets. However, the shaky treaty between the factions was enough to stall the Ithsal advance into the core. Phredrick found Thrawn on the rim, and brought him back to eventually lead the combined fleets of the Empire, Rebel Alliance, and Ghost Legion in a costly victory against the Ithsal threat. In the final battle, Thrawn was killed as the Ithsal destroyed his Star Destroyer. After the battle, the treaty between the factions almost instantly collapsed and Phredrick once again retreated to solitude to mourn for the loss of his great-nephew, Mitth’raw’nuruodo. Quiksilver eyes closed in darkness, and the future is uncertain.
