He rose through the ranks as a result of the power vacuum left by the deaths of the Navy's top officers aboard the Death Star at Yavin IV, and reached the rank of lieutenant in 2 ABY. When his father tried to overthrow the Emperor and went warlord, Nostradamus stayed loyal to the Empire and fought against his forces. By the time of the Battle of Endor, Nostradamus was stationed on Coruscant, his homeworld. After hearing of the loss at Endor, his views of the Empire were greatly changed\u2014which eventually caused him to defect to the New Republic in 6 ABY. As a former Imperial officer, he joined the New Republic Defense Fleet, and fought in several conflicts. Those included fights with various warlords during the Imperial Civil War, the rise of Thrawn and reborn Palpatine, as well as the Empire Reborn campaign. As the Yuuzhan Vong War began in 25 ABY, he was a Rear Admiral in the Defense Fleet. After seeing much action during the war, experiencing both victories and defeats, Nostradamus continued serving the new Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, being promoted to Vice Admiral in the Galactic Alliance navy. He was promoted to admiral shortly before the Lost Tribe of the Sith emergence, during which he saw little action. After the mess with the Lost Tribe and the dark entity Abeloth ended, he was promoted to chief of naval operations under the new government of Wynn Dorvan. However, Nostradamus still was disillusioned with the Alliance, seeing the rising corruption and bureaucracy. He believed he could fix it. So in 45 ABY, he executed a military coup against the government of Dorvan. Creating a \"Reformed Alliance Government\", which was mostly a military junta, he declared himself the new leader of the reformed Galactic Alliance. Most planets refused to recognize this change, viewing him as a military dictator, and pledged allegiance to Dorvan's in-exile government. The two regime were often called Galactic Alliance-Coruscant and Galactic Alliance-Dac, after their capitals. Nostradamus' short-lived government was overthrown by a Jedi and special forces strike team, which killed many of his officials and arrested him. Found guilt of numerous charges, he was executed in 46 ABY."@en .
