"Commander Vasil Dorne, special attache to the Ministry of Intelligence. I have twenty years' combat experience plus twelve as a garrison commander. I've spent the last decade schooling Intelligence operatives. You will listen when I speak."
―Vasil Dorne[2]

Vasil Dorne was a Human male who served in the Imperial Military of the reconstituted Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War and later the Cold War.[2]

Biography

A Human male, Vasil Dorne was born to the prestigious Dorne family in the Sith Empire around 3703 BBY, approximately twenty years before the beginning of the Great Galactic War. He followed his family's traditions enlisted in the Imperial Military in 3685 BBY, and fought in the war against the Galactic Republic for twenty years until he was promoted to garrison commander in 3665 BBY, the same year he and his wife had their second child Elara. In 3653 BBY, when the Treaty of Coruscant ended the war, Dorne was promoted to special attache to the Ministry of Intelligence. He spent the next decade during the Cold War instructing Imperial Intelligence operatives in combat specializations, while his older son Aleksei completed his technical specialization the day that Elara enlisted in 3647 BBY. However, Elara defected from the Empire two years later.[3]

Later in his career, Dorne was promoted from garrison commander to the position of special attache to the Ministry of Intelligence and served as an instructor for agents of Imperial Intelligence. During the Cold War, he directed the agent who would become Cipher Nine to the Imperial Intelligence Quartermaster for advanced combat training.[2]

Behind the scenes

Before its removal from the game, Vasil Dorne introduced the mission "Advanced Training: Imperial Agent" for Imperial Agent players who had just completed the planet Hutta in the 2011 video game Star Wars: The Old Republic. He could be found on both Vaiken Spacedock and Dromund Kaas, where he directed players to their Advanced Class trainer, the Imperial Intelligence Quartermaster.[2]

Notes and references

  1. Commander Dorne states that he has 20 years of combat experience, served 12 years as a garrison commander, and 10 years as an Intelligence operative instructor, for a total of 42 years in service. Additionally, Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia states that all Imperial citizens are enlisted when they reach adulthood, which Darth Plagueis states is generally considered to be the age of 21 for Humans. This number is reinforced by Elara Dorne, who the Encyclopedia states is 26 years old, and who joined the Imperial Military five years prior to meeting the player character—she defected from the Empire three years earlier, and served in the military for two years before that. Thus, taken together, it can be assumed that Vasil Dorne began service at the age of 21, and as he has served for 42 years, that gives him an age of 63. As he is encountered at the start of Act I, which can be placed in 3643 BBY per the reasoning here, that means he was born in 3706 BBY.
