Yakov Sukhoi was a human male officer of the Imperial Army Aviation and the the chairman of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, a corporation that made starfighters. He was considered a skilled pilot, but not as elite enough as some others, like legends such as Meiji Volkov and Rayce Nomante. Yakov eventually reached the rank of Colonel General, and was placed in command of the Eastern Military District. Yakov later retired and began leading his company full time. The Sukhoi Design Bureau produced a small number of fighters, but were known for their quality and amazing technology.
