Grand Moff Tarkin

Willhuf Tarkin was a human male, born (64 BBY) on the Outer Rim's, far from the Republic's core, planet of Eriadu. Though it seems insignificant, Eriadu was a very important industrial planet and became one of the Outer Rims most active and most important trade centers right after the bankruptcy of Trade Federation, due to their loses at Naboo crisis. Willhuf came from the very wealthy family of Tarkins, the rulers of Eriadu and whole Seswenna sector for centuries, crushing anyone or anything who stood on their path of absolute leadership. Following old Tarkins tradition, with the goal to temper their families children into becoming the capable survivors, cold blooded killers and excellent marksmen and pilots, Willhufs father ordered his brother, Willhuf's uncle Jova Tarkin, to take young, sixteen years old, carefree Willhuf to the wild jungles of Eriadu, where he learned how to stay alive and how to fight the wild predators, it was either kill or die, pass the test, or leave your bones in the jungle. As a child, later on, Tarkin would face the series of brutal test that would improve his skills as a warrior and as a pilot, as well as his strategy in combat, making of him a perfect military individual, more than a perfect Admiral to serve his Emperor's cause and to lead his armies.

Tarkin began his career as a pilot of the Republics Outland Regions Security Force and that was where he first met a wealthy senator of his neighboring planet, Naboo. He and Palpatine discussed the incompetence of the Republic to maintain order and security for it's population, as well as the corruption of the senate and chancellor Valorum at the most. Palptaine told him that he is meant to do a great things and that he doesn't deserve to be in the RORSF, Palpatine told him that he should join politics, but Willhuf refused, for now. Willhuf made a name for himself in RORSF by saving the lives of three soldiers and by being one of the most skilled individuals they ever had, but as Tarkin noticed that the Separatist Crisis is growing into something bigger than just riots around the Republic systems, he changed his mind and contacted Palpatine, where they met on Coruscant. Palpatine had very powerful friends, so he ensured that Tarkin becomes The Governor of the Eriadu and the whole Seswenna sector. A few short weeks before the Clone War began, richest man in the galaxy, Count Dooku visited Eriadu and together he and Tarkin had a pleasant dinner, all the way until Dooku asked Tarkin to join him and to pledge Eriadu's economic power to the soon formed Separatist Alliance, in the conflicts to come, as a return he was promised security, fame and power. Tarkin refused, remaining loyal the Palpatine, now chancellor Palpatine, and few days after the battle of Geonosis, Tarkin took a place as the fleet admiral, getting assigned under the command of Jedi Master Even Piell under whos command he served during the whole war. Near the very end of the war, Palpatine promoted Tarkin to Grand Moff's status.

Tarkin was an intelligent man with a will of iron. His determination was, perhaps, his greatest asset. When he sets his mind to goal, he will stop at nothing to achieve it. This was further backed up by his cunning and intellect. This got him a rank of command almost completely unmatched, aside for Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine themselves. He also had a great deal of dignity, to the point of arrogance. This lead him to not only enjoy his authority, but exploit it. He is always attempting to make himself superior to all of his contemporaries or lessers in any way possible, whether it be subtly or in the most obvious of manner. His self-confidence and dignity even took away almost any fear he had towards the Sith, and spoke with Vader on even terms.

Tarkin continued to rise in power with the proclamation of a new regime, the Galactic Empire, ruled by the self-appointed Emperor Palpatine. Joining the ranks of the New Order's regional governors, Tarkin oversaw the needs of the new Imperial Army and, alongside Vice Admiral Edmon Rampart administered Project War-Mantle to transition the clone trooper army into an army of conscripted soldiers. As the first Grand Moff, Tarkin oversaw the Outer Rim Territories and was also involved in the secret construction of the DS-1 Death Star Mobile Battle Station. By this time, Governor Tarkin was seen as the third member of the unofficial triumvirate that led the Empire, including the Emperor himself and Darth Vader, whom he once knew as Anakin Skywalker. As provincial administrator of the regions of space along the galactic frontier, he sought to enforce Imperial rule on restive worlds such as Lothal, where rebel cells grew increasingly bold in their opposition to the Empire.

Bacrana was the sector capital of Brak sector at the height of the Galactic Empire. Bacrana had its capital at Amma, which was the site of a strong Rebel Alliance cell following the decisive Battle of Yavin. The Imperial Moff in charge, a man named Lesan Ramier, swiftly put down the insurrection and placed Amma under martial law. The Imperials managed to capture an important Rebel agent on Bacrana, though the agent was eventually rescued from detention by three Rebel squads.

The Galactic Empire developed the planet—along with Cyrillia and Gyndine—into a staging area for transport fleets and military units.
