Character History
Koji Talasko (b. ???? - d. ????) was a member of the Star League Defense Force during the closing years of the Star League era. Talasko had reached the rank of General and was serving as Director of the SLDF Special Forces Command when Stefan Amaris launched Operation APOTHESIS in 2766, the coup that secured him control of the vast majority of the Hegemony.[1]
When APOTHESIS began at 1700 hours Terran Standard Time on the 27th of December 2766, Sabik was caught up with the coup along with every other world in the Terran Hegemony. Rim Worlds Republic forces attacked the single Castle Brian on Sabik and the Special Armed Services Training Centre with nuclear strikes, but while the two facilities were damaged, being nuked failed to destroy them completely; the SASTC took heavier damage than the Castle Brian, but the underground bunkers and hangars beneath the SASTC survived.[1]
Visiting the SLDF troops for the holiday season on Sabik was General Talasko; the attacks caught him and the SLDF units on Sabik by surprise, but Talasko survived the initial attacks and personally planned and then led the SLDF counterattack against the Republican forces that had landed. Talasko and his troops weren't able to stop the Republicans from looting the bulk of the raw materials stored on Sabik, but within a few days the SLDF had pushed the Rim Worlds forces off the planet.[1]
Faced with the prospect of bringing in WarShips or drafting in additional ground forces to hunt down Talasko and his relatively small force of Special Forces personnel, the Rim Worlds forces instead decided to disable the planetary HPG and removed every JumpShip in the system. They then left a handful of sentry vessels in place to monitor the system, and left Talasko and his forces isolated, in control of Sabik, but with no way to leave the system and with Sabik cut off from the rest of the Hegemony. Talasko had brought his own assault DropShip with him, which had survived the attacks, and the SLDF still had a number of other intact DropShips available to them, but the SLDF troops had nowhere to go, and had no options other than to try and repair the HPG and to wait for reinforcements.[1]
