[edit] Biography
- "A frontal assault with overwhelming force; that is the way war was meant to be fought. Strength against strength, not the weak and cowardly tactics of the Rebel Alliance. You have grown some since I last knew you..."
- ―Sil Sorannan as the New Republic Defense Force attacked N'zoth[src]
Sorannan is known to have served as a pilot with a Research Section team trying to discover ways of dropping bombs directly from hyperspace, and was subsequently stationed with Black Sword Command in the Koornacht Cluster. As Imperial forces began to withdraw from Koornacht in 4 ABY, eight months after the Battle of Endor, the Black Fifteen shipyards at N'zoth were overwhelmed by the rapid Yevethan insurrection and Sorannan was one of three hundred thousand Imperials taken captive, relocated to a prison camp on Pa'aal, where the Yevetha forced them to divulge the secrets of Imperial technology such as turbolasers and hyperdrives.
Over time, Sorannan became the de facto leader of his fellow Imperial prisoners and formed a secret command group, plotting to strike against their Yevethan overseers when the moment was right. This plan was finally expedited in 17 ABY, when the Imperial prisoners were dispatched to the ships of the Yevethan fleet to aid in the war effort. Sorannan was stationed in the fire control center of the Super Star Destroyer Intimidator—renamed Pride of Yevetha as the Duskhan League flagship—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 Imperial starships in Yevethan hands. From the bridge of Intimidator, Sorannan informed the New Republic that he and "Camp Pa'aal Squadron" were rejoining the Empire, and the fleet entered hyperspace for the Deep Core. En route to their destination, Sorannan saw to it that Nil Spaar was deposited into hyperspace aboard an escape pod. Before the Camp Pa'aal Squadron's escape, he noted the New Republic assault with some grudging respect, surprised to see them fighting a genuine fleet action instead of the Rebel Alliance's hit-and-run tactics.
He subsequently seems to have taken Intimidator to join the forces of the Empire in the Unknown Regions, where she was damaged beyond repair, and abandoned.
