- Born 22 years BSW4 (Before Star Wars IV: A New Hope) to Mariel and
Lighton Gilean on Coruscant, seat of the Republic. His family was of the
Republic gentry class, his father being an officer in the Republic Navy,
and his mother being the daughter of a Senator. He had two other siblings,
Matthias and Lydia, ages 3 and 5 respectively. During this time, the Republic
was beginning to fall as Palpatine began his ascent.
- 17 years BSW4, Wilson's father killed in action while fighting against
pirates in the Inner Rim Territories. Mother continues to raise children,
becomes more active in politics on Coruscant. She eventually, within the
year, becomes an aide to Garm Iblis.
- 7 years BSW4, sister Lydia disappears to Outer Rim after being accused
of treason and sedition by Imperial agents. Matthias enrolls in the Imperial
Naval Academy, against his mother's wishes, to serve in the Imperial Navy.
Mariel is found to have an odd wasting disease, which doctors are unable
to cure. By the end of the year, Wilson is a member of the SAGroup, and
is placed in a boarding home as his mother's condition worsens.
- 6 years BSW4, Mariel dies. Matthias is confirmed a pilot slot in the
Imperial Navy, and is set to graduate the following year. Wilson is left
in the boarding school, much to his chagrin. Lydia has yet to be found
by Imperial agents.
- 4 years BSW4, Matthias is completing his pilot training. Wilson attends
a prep-school for the Raithal Military Academy with his friend, Mikal Hunter
Starfall.
- 2 years BSW4, Wilson is accepted to Raithal Military Academy, and immediately
begins his training. Matthias becomes an excellent TIE Fighter Pilot, and
is promoted through the ranks to Captain and is given his own command,
the 452nd TIE Squadron (ISD Gallant).
- SW4, Wilson graduates from Raithal with Honors, and begins service
as a Stormtrooper, with his friend Mikal Starfall, for the Empire. Matthias
is promoted to Commander, and is given command of the ISD Gallant's
TIE Wing. The Gallant is sent into the Outer Rim Territories in
search of the Rebels' Main Base. Wilson serves well in the Stormtrooper
Corps, and is awarded commendations several times. By the end of the year,
however, Wilson somehow breaks down the mental barriers established by
the Imperial "brainwashers" at Raithal, and quickly flees his
unit and disappears. It is later determined that his unusual sensitivity
to the metaphysical plane is what allowed him to destroy several of these
mental barriers.
- 1 year ASW4, Wilson meets tramp freighter captain Travis Darsten in
the Mos Eisley Cantina. Shortly thereafter, Travis takes Wilson on as a
gunner aboard the Phoenix. Wilson also poses as Travis' bodyguard
during business meetings and other such incidents where it was necessary
to intimidate the other party (or parties). Wilson becomes an excellent
gunner and gunslinger, making a reputation for himself. Matthias' command
is transferred to the ISD Avenger, one of the ships in Darth Vader's
fleet, the "Death Squadron".
- 3-4 years ASW4, the Phoenix and crew begin running guns for
the Rebellion. Both ship and crew gain commissions in the Rebel Alliance
while on layover at Hoth Base after a gun-run. Assist in Hoth Base's evacuation.
Shortly afterward, they begin conducting insurgency operations in and around
the Byblos area. Steal two prototype starfighters from Kuat Shipyards,
create a Pirate/Privateer alliance with the Rebellion, and build a base
in the Larknon Star System.
- 4 years ASW4, the Black Lion Squadron, a squadron comprised
of Starfury class starfighters and based in the Larknon System,
participates in the attack on the second Death Star in orbit around Endor.
The squadron, under the command of Major Travis Darsten (XO Lt. Wilson
Gilean), is assigned to fleet defense during the action, and suffer four
fighter losses. Squadron accounts for at least two Capital Ship kills.
- Current (1 month after Endor), the Phoenix is sent into the
Servais Sector to retrieve a missing Intel spy ship, the Double Trouble,
and to gather more information on the sector. As a secondary objective,
they are assigned to assess the sector's Imperial military capacity, as
well as to determine what happened to the Rebel Cell Network in the sector.
As always, they are also to cause as much trouble as is possible. Wilson's
sensitivity to the Force grows, and he trains for a month prior to this
operation with a failed Jedi, increasing his skill and power in the Force.
