Personal Log

My career in the Imperial navy began about 18 month ago. After graduating from the Imperial Academy on Omega 7, I joined the Emperors Dark Assault Fleet in the Royal Republic Navy and was assigned to Knight Squadron aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer Destrier. My first Squadron Commander was Hunter (some things never change...) After a while I was promoted to the rank of a Commander, being in charge of the training of new recruits which came from various planets of the Outer Rims to join our forces.
We were proud members of the RRN, even when the RRN hosted combined fleets of Rebels & Imperials and other groups, but it destroyed itself from the inside. Personal Vendetta above everything else... So we decided to leave that behind, took the Imperial Star Destroyer Dragoon and started looking out for new opportunities to fight the rebels. And we found and joined the Imperial Order under the command of Grand Admiral Larsen

The ISD Dragoon was sent into the docks and the whole crew of the Dragoon was transferred to the ISD Lightning, our new home. We've lost a lot of men in the next months after this new assignment, but we, the remaining members of the old Dragoon, are like a Phoenix, we will be reborn from the ashes of the old Dragoon.
As one of the first steps in this process we brought Knight Squadron back to live, First to defend, Last to give in. You will hear from us soon ...
My 2nd assignment in the Imperial Order is as an Assistant Training Officer for our X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter Recruits. Stationed on PLT Tigris, I have to supervise their process in the training. So far, not many have proven themselves worth of joining our ranks. Some of them simply failed the test, others dishonored themselves by cheating on the missions. But things will change, I just bought some help. So cheater, beware, we will find you...
And then we will show you our nice and comfortable detention blocks aboard our station, before we let you do the space walk... without a space suit!

This 3 PO unit came in a bundle together with the droid above. It will take care about the day to day business such as reports, training results etc. When this unit was reprogrammed, we discovered that it was aboard the Tantive IV when that ship was capture by Lord Vader. It served the Empire as a spy aboard that ship and was able to give us some vital information about the rebel alliance after we recovered it from that ship. Unfortunately this didn't help us to prevent the destruction of the first Death Star and the death of Grand Moff Tarkin.
We've lost our home again and found a new one. The ISD Lightning was assigned to a new task within the Imperial Order and all personal was transferred to the new flagship of the second fleet, the VSB Liberator.

Victory and defeat are so close together. I had to experience that when Hunter decided to resign from his post of Squadron Commander. Now I'm in charge of Knight Squadron and the Flash Wing and have to guide my men through battle. I will do my very best to keep the spirit of the Knights alive.

 Not soon after we made ourselves comfortable aboard our new ship we had to change ships again. Now we are back in an Imperial class Star Destroyer. The ISD Virulent is now that what we call home. But life was good to us, we still serve under the command of our old captain, Rear Admiral Wulfman.

We are currently working on getting more and more pilots aboard our ship to strengthen our forces for the battles against the rebels. May the force be with us and guide us well in battle.

The new year brought also big changes within the Imperial Order. All active personal was transferred aboard the SSD Executor II to combine our forces. I was offered the command of Wing II, but I decided to stay with the 2nd Fleet.
I now command the Frigate Diamond, which serves as a support vessel of the ISD Virulent, the flagship of Battlegroup Virulent.
I am looking forward to serve aboard this fine ship and protect our Flagship under the command of Admiral Wulfman. No rebel will ever be able to damage that vessel. If necessary, I will order my ship between the Flagship and all attacking crafts.

The year of Darkness has ended. A new era has begun.

Once again there were quite a few changes. We tried to fight some rebels, but they were fleeing whenever they saw us. Very disappointing for all members of the Imperial Order that took a place in that challenge. But also some positive things happened. I was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral, and I was given a new command. The VSD Corona, a ship of the Battlegroup Virulent was my new home, but only for a couple of months.

I had to move on and accepted to take command of my own Battlegroup. Now I 'm in charge of the Battlegroup Admonisher, leading it from my Flagship, the ISD Admonisher, which is part of the Third Fleet of the Imperial Order. But this Battlegroup comes with a new job as well ;) Now I am part of the High Command of the Imperial Order as Training Officer. Looking forward to that new challenge!

Another year has passed. It looks like I will be writing yearly updates on this file only.

People come and go in the Imperial Order. We are now finally at full strength on Platform Tigris. One Head Assistant and Two Assistants. And the output is getting higher and higher.

Earlier this year we also joined the Outer Rim War. A real challenge for all our pilots and knights. To compete with other clubs over territory is something new to us and it shows us our borders. But without those borders, we wouldn't know how hard we have to work on ourselves to become the best.

The Outer Rim War was a great experience for us. Many officers fought bravely against the hordes of Emperor's Hammer pilots or Rebel Squadron's Jedi Knights. I am pleased with the overall outcome and proud to be a member of the Imperial Order.

And we were very lucky this year... We nearly got into a war with the New Republic 5th Fleet, a war were both sides would only have suffered. Luckily enough, the tension cooled down before it was to late. It is amazing how fast situations like that can get out of control. Very scary...

But now the year is nearly over. Platform Tigris changed staff again, Bjerver left the Imperial Order, so Fox took his place as HA:TRO and we recruited Allison as A:TRO to take care of the Role-playing recruits. Together with Tav1 we are the best team I can think about. All specialists in their department.
