Chadd Fearsons was an Imperial pilot during the turbulent era surrounding the Battle of Commenor and the Imperial merge with the Dark Empire. Classified as an Imperial Loyalist, Fearsons achieved the rank of Flight Sergeant and spear-headed the idea of an Imperial Starfighter Corps. The plans fell to the wayside following a series of cataclysmic events that resulted in execution for the young, up and coming pilot.
