| - Max Harkov, nicknamed "Mauler", using the callsigns Delta Leader but later Alpha Leader, and mockingly called "Vader's pet" by other Imperials, was a human male ace TIE pilot in the Imperial Navy. He born in 19 BBY on the planet of Sepan in the Inner Rim Territories, which was undergoing a civil war. He was taught to pilot various starfighters at an early age, and thus was later recruited into the Galactic Empire after they intervened in the civil war. His own father, Yasvan Harkov, was an admiral. He was considered by his instructors at the Corulag Officer Academy to be a good pilot, and was trained to become a test pilot. As a result, Max flew most of the Empire's advanced fighters. His personal favorites were the TIE/ad Avenger and TIE/D Defender. Early on, Max often was stationed at remote facilities where he saw no action. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin IV, he was deployed as a member of the Delta Squadron. His own father, Yasvan, ended up making a deal with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. As a test of loyalty, Darth Vader assigned Delta Squadron to fight the rogue Harkov's forces. Max preformed well, and Vader dropped suspicion of him. In the mid Galactic Civil War, he fell under command of Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin. The officer admired his skill, and upon betraying the Empire to overthrow Emperor Palpatine, tried to get Max to join his forces. He refused, and instead reported it to Vader. Max went on to defeat Zaarin along side Vader and another ace named Maarek Stele. He took part in several battles against Rebel Alliance forces prior to the Battle of Endor. Vader stationed him on Coruscant during the battle, and thus he did not take part in the battle. Max was considered to be a cold and emotionless person. He was willing to risk the lives of his men or innocent civilians at the battleground to achieve victory. He attributed to serving so often under Vader, who constantly forced him to suppress his emotions. Max served under Vader in so many missions that many called him "Vader's pet". That was why he fell in love with almost an equally cold hearted woman, Moff Hirono Tavira. However, she manipulated him into joining her splinter government after the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader over Endor, the Second Imperium. He did so, though had her permission to leave and fight for mainstream factions such as Grand Admiral Thrawn's confederation and the reborn Palpatine's Dark Empire. After both men died in 12 ABY, he returned from his campaigns to protected Tavira's secret project, the Death Star III. When the New Republic found out, they deployed a fleet under Admiral Ackbar himself. Max was aboard one of the three Imperial-class Star Destroyers that was charged with defending the station, the Imperator. In the battle, he fought well but was unable to prevent the Republic from destroying the station and killing Tavira. After her death, he went with an Imperial Intelligence agent who also served Tavira, a female Twi'lek named Terra Zaarin, to join the new Imperial Remnant created by Gilad Pellaeon and Natasi Daala. Max fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Second Galactic Civil War, eventually reaching the rank of general and marrying Terra.
