A veteran of decades service with the Galactic Republic and the Imperial Navy, Major Vansen Tyree served as a high-ranking Fighter Pilot in the years that preceeded the Clone Wars. However, when the Wars entered full swing, the Republic was quick to consolodate its experienced personnel in the upper echelons, leaving the more dangerous roles of ground forces and pilots to the Kaminoan Clone Troopers. The Major found himself dragged out of his flight suit and dumped unceremoniously into a duty uniform on the bridge of one of the Republic's Acclimator-class Star Destroyers, coordinating the assaults of the ship's entire fighter Wing. He soon demonstrated an aptitude for command, and was elevated to the position of Executive Officer. He served with distinction for the remainder of the conflict, but unfortunately lost an eye during the destruction of his ship at the Battle of Coruscant. Highly commended however, Vansen recieved command of his own Venator-class Star Destroyer in the restructuring that followed the war.
Though vocal about most subjects, politics was something that Vansen was determined not to get involved in. Though perhaps not comfortable with some of the orders he was given during the early years of the Empire, he remained loyal to the legally elected government, and his dedicated service was rewarded with an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. An aged and grizzled officer by the time of the Battle of Yavin however, Vansen was savvy enough to see through the fradulent cover story of the "Rebel" Death Star; citing his age as a factor, he retired from Imperial service.
Deciding to settle in the Outer Rim, away from the worst of galactic affairs (in theory), Vansen got to see first hand just what his service to the Empire had allowed. Seeing the plight of the Emperor's subjects, he became sympathetic to the cause of the Rebellion, and particularly with those activists from Alderaan wishing to seek vengeance for the destruction of their planet. Eventually, Vansen's sympathies were noted by officers in the Rebel fleet, and he was approached to join The Rebel Alliance. Initially he was resistant, but the possibility of dragging himself out of his dull and boring retirement and back into action again - even if it was on a bridge, rather than in the cockpit - soon became too attractive for him to decline.
In the years following the Battle of Endor, Vansen was assigned to command the Alliance Cruiser Valiant and unleashed on a campaign of guerilla-style hit-and-run operations against Imperial targets and along the Hydian Way.
