| Robert poses as he addresses his Fleet |
Robert Ares Reynolds is currently an active and loyal member to the Emperor and his empire. He currently holds the rank of Ensign in the Galactic Empire. As of now he only holds the positions of a Fleet Chief of Staff, Imperial pilot, and is a newly added member to the Imperial Center of Recruitment as a Recruiter.
Robert hopes one day to not only pass down the knowledge that he is acquiring as a leader to the newer recruits, but he also hopes that he can continue to play a key role in making sure the galaxy is safe for Imperials of all kinds to live in. He also hopes that as he rises through the ranks, as his career is only at its beginning, that he can also live up to the reputation of the Imperial Navy and keep control of the skies and space above the Imperial Army, as well as other allied forces on the ground, to ensure that a victory is a crushing defeat to the enemy every time.

The Good Ol' Days
Robert was born in the year of -10 on day 300 to Ares and Jazlynn Reynolds. His parents were overjoyed to have had their third child and they had decided to go a little out of the ordinary for his name. After a few days of debate, they settled on Robert Ares Reynolds.
Robert's parents were the proud owners of a very popular tavern, The Crimson Pirate Cellar. They were able to support their family of five, Robert, and his two twin sisters, Naya and Nomi, as well as themselves on the income from this tavern alone, so it became the family's business.
For the first ten years of his life, Robert had been eagerly waiting for the day he could help out at the tavern and he envied his older sisters because they got to have all the fun while Robert was stuck at a neighbors house until the bar would close. At dinner time, he would sit and enjoy all the great, and rather interesting, stories they had about their days. It was moments like these that Robert would come to miss about his family the most.
Finally, in the wondrous year of 1, Robert had been deemed old enough to start work at the bar. He could not stop smiling the entire day he was there as he cleared off and wiped down tables that smelt like various ales. He was able to meet some really nice alien lifeforms who at first, to him at least, seemed pretty scary but were good family friends. The first night he got home from working and he was passed out before he had made it to his room.
The following years were a great time for the Reynolds family and it seemed that the family had only been getting closer to each other. They frequented the pod races and often took vacations to many different planets in their sector. Everywhere they went though, Robert seemed to be infatuated by the Imperial forces that either marched around or zoomed above in space. He knew then that he would eventually want to join the ranks of the Galactic Empire.
At night, he and his sisters would often gaze up at the stars and hope that one day they would be able to travel far enough to be amongst them. Robert had felt that these great times would never cease to exists.
A Tragic Turning Point
Year 3 Day 290 Ten days before Robert's 13th birthday, Things had taken a drastic turn for the worst.
Robert and his family got up and prepared for the day as they normally did. His sisters fought over the bathroom because the other took too long and they had to look perfect for their day at work. Especially if any of those Hapan boys came around as they usually did. Robert simply laughed as the girls quarreled but he couldn't help but feel as if something bad was about to take place, but he he wasn't sure what it was. Thinking it was nothing, he just shrugged it off as they made their way to the bar he loved so much.
Robert looked at the mounted chronometer to see the day was half gone. Feeling the hunger in his stomach kick up, he parted from the bar to eat his lunch at home as he normally did. When he had returned, however, he returned to blaze in which his family was still in. Robert stood on the path leading to the bar as people around him hurried out. Tears began to stream down his cheeks as he finally ran in to the bar to find his parents. Frantically he screamed for them with no response. He began to call for his sisters when the roof above him gave way and he became trapped under a support beam. Lucky for him, a Gand who had still been in the bar trying to get as many people out as he could\, found him and helped him out to safety. Robert cried for the man to find his parents who were still trapped in there. The Gand set him down and rushed back in to the flames.
Moments later, the Gand emerged from the flames just as the building collapsed, and in his arms were the bodies of his mother and father. The Gand set the two down in front of Robert and stepped back. Robert came to realize that they had not made it. Robert fell to the ground, engulfed in sadness, but this sadness lasted but a moment. He soon became enraged, not only at the attackers, but at himself for not having been there for them. He stood up and demanded to know who was the cause of this. Some of the witnesses who made it out said it was a band of pirates that came in and stormed the place.
Robert Had then began to spiral down until he hit rock bottom. He had become a raging alcoholic and was soon banned from most taverns across the galaxy. He had no idea what had become of his sisters as their bodies were never found. Things would soon start to look better for him. At least he hoped.
A Brighter Future
As Robert started to pick his life back up, he decided he needed to make money some how. So he offered his services to anyone in need whether it was hauling, repair droids or just running errands, he did it. In fact he began to make a living off of all the odd jobs that came his way. Although, the only thing he would never do again was work in a tavern of any sort. At least not with his parent's death so fresh on his mind. Robert had been able to break his addiction to alcohol and things had been looking up for him again. On his off days, he took up a search of the galaxy for his two sisters, hoping that they were out there some where. Every night he would gaze up at the stars and wonder if they were looking up at the same stars.
On his 18th birthday, Year 8 Day 300, He finally made his dream a reality. He had been taken in to the ranks of the Galactic Empire.
The Start to a Promising Career
Robert was like most recruits when they joined the Empire, Confused but in awe at the might that he was surrounded by. He felt as he had become part of something greater, and little did he know, he had. The leaders appointed above him were quick to contact him and push him off to the Imperial Academy. He was transported to the massive building where hundreds of new recruits like him could be found rushing off to meet their professors. Eager to begin his new life, Robert flew out of the transport shuttle and through the doors. He scanned the hallways looking for his professor's room, which he found rather easily for it being such a massive structure.
He reported in and was surprised to see how welcoming, yet stern his professor was. This put him at ease a little as he was nervous about dealing with higher ranked individuals this early in his career. He completed the course in about two weeks. Although he did not graduate with Honors, he did graduate and it was all the same to him. Robert often looks back on this day and is grateful the he had someone like Markus Saretti to mentor him from the beginning. It would be because of the great work Markus did in ensuring that Robert learned all that he needed to that would set Robert up for the rest of his career.
Fresh out of the Academy, and hungry for action, Robert made way for the Imperial Navy. RADE was quick to acknowledge his request and Robert was sent off to the Fourth Imperial Fleet, then under the command of Commander Igneus Esh. Robert was quick to make friends in the fleet as he participated in many of the fleet's activities. This had proven to be another high point in his life,and he loved every moment he had of it.
two months pass and Robert has maintained the rank of Crewman. He had settled in nicely with his fleet mates and had began to make an impression on his fleet's command. Robert knew that something was bound to happen soon, and as he suspected, it did. later in the eighth year, the fleet received a transmission the bared both good and bad news. Commander Igneus Esh had announced that he was resigning as the fleet's Commanding Officer. Even though Robert and his close friend Adin-Duanath Yeriamman had just received a promotion to Flight Corporal, Robert could not help but feel a sadness as the leader he looked up to the most was parting ways. This was one of the only times that a promotion was ever a bitter-sweet moment for him. The fleet had gone through a few changes in CO's until NHC found one that was right in front of the the whole time, LT Arya Downing.
In the weeks following LT Downing's appointment to the fleet's CO position, he had proven himself quite reliable. Robert was quick to take to Downing as he was a very confident commander. For the next year and a half, Robert would happily continue his service to the Fourth under Downing's inspiring command. weather it was carrying out full operations, or merely scanning a system, Robert was glad to have been able to Help him any way he could.
Six months in to his first year active, another key figure in Robert's life would be introduced to him, one LTJG Galdarzz Aalon. Shortly after Downing filled in the vacant CO position, LTJG Galdarzz Aalon was appointed the fleet's new Executive Officer filling in the space Downing left behind. These two wonderful leaders would become the two to shape Robert into the leader he would soon become.
The Merge
Between the years of ten and eleven, the Galactic Empire and the NIO had reached an agreement and went forth with a merger. Many new faces were seen amongst the ranks on the Empire, but one in particular would become another leader Robert would look up to. Rear Admiral Senki Blackrain, who had taken over as the Naval XO, had been open to meeting the new people of the navy he was in charge of. Robert ceased this opportunity to get to know the people who made most of the decisions for the navy. This was mainly so that he would no longer have to feel too intimidated of the top brass. Just as he though, he and Blackrain started to form the beginnings of a friendship, of course, it would be a while before they were completely friends, but it was a start.
Things in the GE began to settle several months after the merger. All of the new faces soon assimilated into the GE and were practicably considered life long family, much like the fleet was to Robert. Things ran on a very normal basis for the longest time until another transmission would find its way to Roberts Datapad.
Year 11 Day 281, Robert, as well as the rest of his fleet, received the news that his longtime friends and fleet mate, Adin-Duanath Yeriamman was being transferred to another fleet to accept an XO position. Naturally, Robert was saddened by this news and hated to see a good friend depart from the fleet. In the back of his mine though, he knew it was good as it meant an advancement in his career. He simply congratulated his friend and wished him farewell. This did, however, leave an empty spot within fleet command again, one Robert was soon going to fill.
The Beginning of a Leader
Up until this point, Robert had help minor command positions in a few missions here and there. He had, however, been watching the commanders appointed above him closely. He wanted to see how they handled the issues that arrived their way, he wanted to see what it took to be a leader in the Imperial Navy. Well, two weeks after the departure of Adin, He was offered the chance to find out first hand. Robert gladly accepted the CoS position and felt deeply honored that he was selected. He promised to give nothing but his best effort in all tasks he would be given. Honestly, he had his doubts, he had his thoughts about not being ready for it, but he kept in mind the two Officers he looked up to. He felt confident that they had not only trained him for this day, but would not have made the decision unless they were sure he was able to do it. It was now time for him to set an example for the rest of his fleet mates.
