Massu

''"It was not the republic that decided to start this horrible war it was those damn separatists, They believe in all freedom when the republic had offered them that. If they so want to start a war I'll finish it myself." ''- Massu commenting on the CIS

Massu was a Republic admiral during the clone wars and was majorly known for being the leader of the 417th Fleet. He was an unusual admiral due to the fact of how angry and ruthless he was when fighting the CIS, other admirals documented him as being a frontal assault admiral and "cared not for his ships" when heading into battle. It was also stated amongst the soldiers underneath him they stated he was more of a tyrant than a leader.

 Early Life 

Massu was trained in the Republic Military Academy's naval sector. It was never stated why he wanted to be in the naval sector but he just wanted to be. Massu was trained by many officers and mentors, the occurring theme was that all of Massu's trainers were very strict and had reputations for that. This was said to have been the reason for why Massu ended up like the way he did.

Shortly after his training he and his mentor travelled to Kamino to observe clones and what their training was like. This is where Massu would soon train his own of Massu's Hawks. Massu was then transferred to a Republic fleet where he would be a junior officer training under the admiral there to hopefully one day become an admiral of his own ship and crew.

 During the clone wars 

Massu became an admiral quite early within the clone wars and was given his own fleet. Shortly after gaining his fleet his gathered up some of his own troopers. Massu and his fleet participated in many space skirmishes across the galaxy. The only major event that the 417th were documented in was the Defence of Onderon when a fleet of CIS tried to invade the planet of Onderon to claim it for the Separatists.

 Empire's Era 

After the Empire was set up Massu was made an Imperial admiral for the empire and kept his fleet. However most of the clones in Massu's Hawks were eventually retired due to accelerated ageing. This eventually lead to his garrison being full of human soldiers instead. Massu wasn't fond of the idea that he had humans instead of clones that had been trained since birth to fight. Massu started to grow a hatred of them but just lived with the fact that he had them.

Shortly before when the Battle of Endor occurred Massu was currently on the Death Star taking leave from trying to quell the rebellion within the outer rim. This was the last time he was seen as his death was reported on the Death Star after it had blown up
