Commander "Draven" Imperial Clipper – Agent of Aisling Duval

Born into a minor noble line on Cubeo, Draven was raised amid the splendor and ceremony of Aisling Duval’s court, where loyalty was measured not just in words, but in the quiet work done in the shadows. Trained in intelligence and diplomacy through the Imperial Internal Security Service, Draven was selected for one of the Empire’s most delicate tasks — infiltration of Federation space under the guise of a freelance pilot.

For nearly a decade, Draven lived among the frontier systems and corporate hubs of the Federation, cultivating contacts, influencing trade routes, and gathering intelligence on anti-Imperial movements. His reports helped shape several of Aisling Duval’s political maneuvers in the Senate, particularly against the quiet influence of Shadow President Winters’ loyalists.

Now, after years of deep cover operations, Commander Draven has returned to Cubeo, taking residence on Adelman Station. Officially, he serves as a logistics consultant and Imperial envoy to the Cubeo III aid programs. Unofficially, whispers persist that his work for the Princess continues — a silent guardian ensuring her vision of a just and radiant Empire endures amid the intrigues of high society and the corruption that festers within.

In truth, Draven’s return marks the beginning of a new mission. Operating covertly, he conducts rescue operations throughout the border systems, extracting Imperial citizens and sympathizers trapped by hostile factions or corporate exploitation. Working alongside a small, specialized squadron loyal to Aisling Duval, Draven coordinates efforts to detect, disrupt, and deny operations that threaten her influence along the rim of her controlled space.

Locals often see his sleek Imperial Clipper — Radiant Oath — docked at port, its white hull gleaming beneath the station lights like a blade freshly drawn. Those who know his name speak of a man tempered by the void — one who serves not for glory, but for the quiet preservation of the Empire’s light where the shadows grow longest.
