That's me. The new guy.
—Fyre Shadow upon getting into the Storm Commando Academy
Fyre Shadow, nicknamed Sharpshot, was a Human male who was born in 26 BBY and became a Storm Commando sharpshooter within the Imperial Army's Imperial Storm Commando Corps, and later the Confederation of Free Planets military.

Biography[]
Early life[]
Survival[]
He was born in 26 BBY, to a family who was going to crash land on the ice covered freezing world of Hoth. The family had only a one-man escape pod, so they put in Fyre, because he had a long life ahead of him. The escape pod was a hyperspace one, and Fyre fell on the Hyperspace Coordinates grid and the pod leapt into hyperspace, crash landing in the Imperial City. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine found him and had Fyre trained as the first ever Storm Commando, during the Clone Wars. He was put to work during the dawn of the Galactic Empire.
Storm Commando service[]
Operation SABOTAGE[]

Captain Shadow was first sent onboard the Rebel Blockade Runner Obex, sense the ship was carrying humiliating information about the Empire, to sabotage the cruiser with thermal seismic charges to make it look like the ship blew up because of a system malfunction. He, along with three other Storm Commandos, boarded the cruiser and split into groups of two. Fyre and a fellow Storm Commando set up charges near the engines of the ship, while the other two went to the bridge, which was empty sense the crew was resting in the barracks near the bottom of the Blockade Runner. After they set the charges, their operator, Lieutenant Theeda Marson, heard about the Death Star destroying Alderaan. She was so outraged that she set off the charges, killing everyone besides Fyre, who survived.
Cloud City fight[]
Fyre, and another commando, attacking Luke
After the incident in the Rebel Blockade Runner, Fyre Shadow was sent to the newly-occupied Cloud City, along with several other Storm Commandos. In Cloud City, he was to make sure that everyone followed Imperial law. Luke Skywalker soon came to visit the the city's administrator, and was attacked by Fyre, because in his youth, Palpatine had taught him the list of Imperial enemies. Luke, Fyre, and another commando had a duel. The first commando was killed, and Fyre was left to fight the Jedi Knight alone. The two fought intel Fyre knocked Luke's lightsaber down an air shaft. Luke then pretended to surrender, and then was backed up by the Millennium Falcon when Fyre was about to cuff Luke. The Jedi ran inside the Falcon, and the ground near Fyre was shot by missiles, and he almost fell down the air shaft. He never forgot that day.
Mission to Echo Base[]
A mission to Hoth? Of course. I'm always up for a snowball fight.
—Captain Shadow after learning his next mission
Fyre detonating the control room in Echo Base
After Luke Skywalker returned to Echo Base on Hoth, Fyre Shadow was outraged. The Rebel Alliance had taken his homeworld. He immediately volunteered to break the siege of Echo Base when the battle of Hoth started. The Imperial commanders agreed, and he was outfitted in specialized white Storm Commando gear and sent in. He navigated through the caverns under the Base, and used a hidden passage to get up into one of the base's control rooms. The operators in the room broadcasted orders to the Ion cannon gunners. Fyre planted several thermal detonators and ran, but accidentally pushed the demolition button. He took cover as the control room went up in flames. He then proceeded in infiltrating the rest of the base, and soon reached the hangar bay, and wiped out many pilots.
Operation SAFEGUARD[]
During the Battle of Endor, Fyre was stationed on the Outer Rim Territories planet of Bakura. Shortly after Endor, the planet was attacked by the Ssi-ruuk, and the Imperials had to hold out intel Rebel troops could arrive to help. Fyre boarded one of the Ssi-ruuk ships and slaughtered many of the crew members. He reached the bridge and sent out all of the escape pods, so the enemies couldn't leave the ship. Fyre set charges in the ships and left in his fighter he used to get onboard. When the Ssi-ruuk retreated, the Imperial commander ordered Fyre and the others to betray the Rebels. Fyre didn't understand why, but decided not to question orders. Soon, he and the other Imperials retreated.
Confederation of Free Planets SpecOps[]
Capture[]
Fyre Shadow was soon captured after the battle at Bakura. The Rebel computer databanks identified him as the Imperial who played a key role in the lose of Echo Base, as well as the loss of thousands of Rebels. He was then forced to work in the Confederate SpecOps. Fyre got to keep his Storm Commando gear.

The Yuuzhan Vong War is over, but some people didn't seem to get the message.
—Captain Shadow upon learning about the attack of the Yuuzhan Vong
The Yuuzhan Vong have been chased out of the Galaxy once, but have returned with more troops, firepower, ships, and starfighters to try to retake the Galaxy. Fyre Shadow was stationed on Ryloth at the time, and the Yuuzhan Vong attacked shortly after the bounty hunters led by the notorious Cad Bane were wiped out by the garrison. When they attacked, everyone was taken by surprise and many were killed before the Vong took any casualties. Fyre managed to kill many of them and drive them off the planet, where the Confederate Navy destroyed most of the enemy fleet.
The Rest of the Second Vong invasion[]
