“So Officer tell us about yourself.”
“Hmm where to start I grew up on Couruscant and I’m guessing it says where I started life…”
“Yes Courscant Penitentiary System, tell us about that.”
“Not much to tell, my father was a solider he died on Typhon during the decimation before I was born, my mother joined a war protest, it turned violent people got hurt buildings and property damaged or destroyed, she was heavily pregnant with me at the time and got caught up in the troubles, she was arrested and sentenced to Six years for violent protest. I spent my first years living in a prison wing with the other children of criminals.”
“Must have been informative.”
“I was a child I learned how to hide and run, stay quiet and out of the way, I was quite good at climbing by the time they released my mother though. Life after prison was more difficult that prison itself, we went from regular meals to struggling to eat, my mother couldn’t secure a job and while I was at school she struggled to get by. She go hungry so I had a full belly and would stay up all night
trying to scrape a living. She was a chef you see she’d worked at the Senate Building in their kitchens before her arrest so when she could she would cook and sell the portions all night to try and make the little bit extra.”
“What about your education?”
“I was an average student, school good with my hands mechanics, engineering that sort of thing but school never really interested me it was a distraction at first then it was an inconvenience, I started working after school, collecting scrap, making deliveries, doing the odd repair of things when I could I ran a few messages for people, I finally landed myself a job reconnecting power conduits in the lower levels despite my age, I was a good climber with a good head for heights and small hands it suited the work, but the pay was pitiful we never had enough to get back on our feet. When the recruiters came I enlisted without a second thought.”
“Your mother must have liked that first, your father and then you.”
“She was distraught, but it was the only way we’d get out of poverty, the only way she could make a life for herself, she’d lost so much because of the war it was time she had some good back in her lift. My basic training took place on the Republic Dawn as part of the Fleet in the Mid Rim Campaign, I never saw combat as such being a recruit I was stationed to point defence in case we were ever
boarded.”
“Is that when you sustained your injuries?”
“Yeah, the Republic Dawn was hit by one of the Exile ships, it rammed us tearing through several of the decks, I was buried under a section of the hull, I should have died but there was a Jedi on board they freed me and got me to medical. I supposed I should be grateful though the doctors say they could have probably saved my leg had the Jedi not cut it off, but my arm it was crushed beyond
recovery.”
“How do you find the replacements?”
“I’m used to them now, when I returned to service I suffered some lock ups during combat the doctors said it was excessive neural activity my body wasn’t used to the new connections, I’ve learnt to manage that these days.”
“So you saw combat during the war?”
“No I returned to service just as the Army was disbanded, I was cycled into a peacekeeping company, we saw action against the Cartel’s trying to capitalise on the chaos caused by the war, I saw combat against pirates and criminals during that time, mainly urban and ship based combat close quarters stuff.”
“How long were you a peacekeeper?”
“About four years right up till Valorum dissolved the Grand Army, I was on Alderan when that happened seeing the holo projection, everything went quite on the army front, the senior officers vanished over night, they didn’t tell us rank and file troopers anything just left us to our own devices, my company ended up left up the creek out fleet transport cut dock and headed back to their homeworld leaving about five hundred of us stranded on Alderan, some of my squad mate they came from families with money they managed to book transport home but me I had nothing, my mother had used all my savings I sent her to open up a dinner she had no spare credits to help me get home.”
“So what did you do to survive?”
“I got a job of course, Alderan suffered losses like the rest of the core worlds, their police force was depleted they snapped up all the ex military they could, issued a nice new uniform and out on the beat as it was.”
“So you joined the local law enforcement, how’d that go for you?”
“Fine I suppose I rose in the ranks quickly enough they made me a duty sergeant in my first year then a watch commander before I transferred into special
response and investigation I’ve been working there for the last few years.”
“So you have experience of investigation work?”
“Some I mainly worked in special operations, you know armed response and undercover work, seems us military guys are good at hitting criminals hide outs hard and fast and clearing them out with minimal casualties, go figure yeah.”
“And undercover work, your cybernetics limbs don’t make you stand out?”
“Not that I’ve found cybernetics are common these days, if you were caught up in the war chances are unless you were lucky as hell you’re sporting some sort of injury.”
“You seem well settled, you’ve made a life here, why did you request a transfer to us?”
“You’re right I am settled here and I do have a life but Alderan is not my home, I’m an off worlder from Courscant, but that’s not the reason I joined the Grand Army because I wanted to protect people my mother, our friends, our neighbourhood, my homeworld, the Galaxy. The Jedi and The Sith almost tore the galaxy apart. There needs to be something, someone there to stand against
that. I’m stifled here limited in what I can do, I’m good at what I do but I could do so much more.”
“Is that the only reason?”
“No...I’m a soldier, sure I can keep the peace, and play the role of police man but deep down I’m never happier than when I am leading a strike against a criminal organisation or boarding a star ship. There’s not much call for soldiering here anymore, the war is done on Alderan but it’s not done out there.”
