Kresk Zantevo was born on New Gargolia, a planet in the satellite galaxy Rishi Maze. At age 18, he moved to Foosha V with his grandparents, where he discovered the Imperial Academy. Zantevo then decided to move to the main galaxy to enlist in the Galactic Empire, where he would advance through the ranks and soon reach Admiral in 6 BBY. The Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Oblivion was then appointed as his flagship.
