Sylas is a Human female who served the Sith Empire during the Cold War against the Galactic Republic. She served as a lieutenant and executive officer of the Black Talon, an Imperial transport ship serving the Sith Empire under Captain Revinal Orzik. During the Cold War, the ship was boarded by forces loyal to Grand Moff Rycus Kilran, who proceeded to take command of the bridge. Orzik was punished, but Sylas retained her command position on the bridge as the ship deviated from it's original course to Dromund Kaas and pursued a Republic transport ship, the Brentaal Star.
