Tjermon Kale

Tjermon Kale is the leader of the Blood Souls, a pirate group controlling a large area of space south of the Black Star Confederacy.

History
Tjermon Kale was born on Aksum in 21 BBY. He joined the Confederate Navy in 3 BBY, 18 years old. He graduated in the middle of his class, but was recommended for a command due to his amazing strategic abilities, and was given command of the Aksum-class Corvette Mina.

For three years, he commanded the Mina, acquitting himself well. In 1 ABY, he was promoted to Captain and given command of the Imperator-class Cruiser Ravager. Then in 6 ABY, Senator Anton Millard became President of the Confederacy. A argent opponent of Millard, Kale used his connections to bring in crew members that disagreed with Millard, and replaced those crew members that agreed with the President.

Finally in 7 ABY, the Ravager went mission while patrolling the southern border. No sign was found of it, and it was presumed lost with all hands. It was only later that the truth was learned:

Kale and his crew had defected to become pirates. Thanks to the discipline and experience of the crew of the Ravager (now renamed Adventure, Kale quickly gained a large following. He spent the years between 7 ABY and 11 ABY fighting other pirate groups for supremacy. Finally, in 11 ABY he and his group, the Blood Souls, defeated their last rival and gained control of the area south of the Confederacy.

Since then, Kale has ruled the southern sectors. His command ensures that the pirates largely stay away from Confederate shipping, in order to avoid incurring Confederate wrath. Nevertheless, they have lost several systems to Confederate aggression.

Recently, the Confederacy had begun a campaign to destroy the Blood Souls and gain supremacy in the southern sectors. So far, the Blood Souls have not performed very well.

Kale still commands from the Adventure.
