Brandei was a Human male who served the Axis of Empires during the First War. Brandei was born on Mantooine. As a cadet from an Outer Rim Territories world, he had to struggle to overcome discrimination; even exemplary work gained him only marginal notice from his professors and superiors. Nonetheless, his academy training—perhaps on Raithal—imbued him with a definite air of purpose and confidence, and he made his mark in the Imperial military in spite of this initial prejudice.
