As Stones was patrolling the routes for yet another day, in the far distance something caught his eye. One by one, a heap of Capital vessels left hyperspace and started flying deeper into the system. Using the powerful scanners of his ship, Stones was able to zoom in on the distance ships, and the moment he saw the image, alarm bells started ringing inside his head. These Capital ships were nothing else but MC80's, and the giant logo on their side pointed out that they belonged to the Falleen Federation, an enemy of the Empire! Quickly Stones tried to contact his direct superiors, but being unable to manage to establish a connection, decided to go search from someone higher up. He succeeded in making contact with Naval Command, and report that a large fleet of Falleen Federation vessels had entered Corellian space and were on the move. Stones' quick response and reporting allowed Imperial reinforcements to rapidly head for the system, while Stones kept his Scout's sensors in range of the hostile fleet, but not his own ship in the range of their lasers, and continued to report on the situation. Hours later the first reinforcements arrived and more followed. Unable to do whatever they intended to due to the ever increasing Imperial presence, the Falleen Fleet jumped back into hyperspace without a single shot having been fired. After the fleet left the mission in Corellia continued as normal, and throughout the next few days Stones had some additional success in his searches. He identified various illegal vessels who were heading for a remote planet in the system, which were subsequently taken care of.

Throughout the next month, Stones solo piloting went a step further, as his new orders no longer made him rely on a carrier to bring him to places. Under these new order he was now authorized to jump to remote system in the nearby area, and conduct various assignments there. On one occasion he would even work together with two pilots from a different fleet. One of these pilots became a friend of Stones, and would just like him continue to advance throughout his Imperial career. After finishing the assignment with his new friend, Stones next assignment would lead to him flying with ''"The worst ship I've ever flown."'', having been assigned a Class VI Bulk Freighter, which had a hyperdrive motivator that might as well have been made from recycled moisture vaporators and wrecked X-wings, his assignment was to collect a load of materials and deliver it to a distant system. The ship he had to fly was extremely slow, in fact, it was so slow and sluggish that by the time he finally arrived at his destination, he was redirected elsewhere because the materials were no longer needed. After he arrived at his next destination, he was finally allowed to dispose of this 'brick'. By then, he had spend the better of two months in absolute loneliness in hyperspace, an extremely boring trip of which the only bright side was that during the period, he was promoted twice. First to Flight Corporal, and then to Flight Sergeant.

After having done this same routine for quite some time, his next assignment forced him to take the 'brick' and deliver a load of materials to a remote system. The trip would take him what seemed like a lifetime. Stones, with his extremely slow ship, would be in hyperspace for an entire month before arriving at his destination. The loneliness aboard, and the lack of anyone to speak with would mean that Stones ended up slight estranged when it came to talking with others, after his assignment was finally finished.

After the full month had passed, the comparatively small load of materials was delivered by him, and immediately afterwards he was ordered to head to another system, where he was to replace his Class VI Bulk Freighter with a BFF-1 Bulk Freighter, which was far superior compared to what he was flying now. But there was a catch; to get to that ship he would be forced to make another long hyperspace trip of eighteen whole days. After Stones had arrived at the BFF-1, he was also finally able to replace his Crewman's rank plaque with that of a Staff Flight Sergeant. During the entire period in which he had flown the Class VI, he was promoted for a grand total of three times. First to Flight Corporal, shortly after the start of his assignment. Then, just before the trip that took a full month he was promoted to Flight Sergeant. And finally, with just two days of hyper travel remaining before he arrived at the BFF-1, he received his promotion to Staff Flight Sergeant. While Stones was glad that he now held a much higher rank then before, the promotions seemed extremely hollow, and felt as if they had been granted more out of pity for the assignment of this terrible vessel, rather then having been actually earned.

Flying the BFF-1 proved to be much more productive then the other ship. Its much higher loading capacity as well as its superior hyperdrive motivator allowed Stones to complete assignments at a much more rapid pace. He would no longer have to deliver materials to far away systems, but instead most of his work now revolved around gathering freshly mined resources and then bringing those to various space station in different nearby systems. It would be the same thing for a couple of months, where Stones would be supplying mostly shipyards with the materials needed to keep ship production running. While it perhaps was not as exciting as flying TIE fighters, it was productive at the very least. It was also during this period, whilst flying the BFF-1, that [[Orphaea Imperium]] seized many Imperial assets in order to force Emperor [[Vodo Bonias]] to Abdicate, which eventually ended in [[Thomas Cherokee]] becoming the new Emperor of the Galactic Empire. During this period, Stones had become unable to further execute his assignments, as the facilities he was supposed to take materials from were now no longer in the hand of the Empire. On top of that, after Cherokee had taken control, the Fleet Commanding officer raised a question to all of his men, on the topic where their loyalties laid. Stones had not joined the Empire to follow a single man, as his response indicated. The exact words he had said were: ''"I am loyal to the Empire, thus including its throne as well, no matter if it was Bonias still sitting on it, Emperor Cherokee, or even Binky while smoking a fat cigar."'' Binky, being an 'fairly' intelligent creature, was the fleet's mascot. Stones had remembered that back when he was a Crewman that a fellow Crewman had made a comment that Binky, while smoking a fat cigar and sitting at an office desk, would have been able to do a better job then Emperor Bonias. For Stones, it seemed only fitting to add that in while pointing out what he was loyal to. At the end of the day, he was and remained an Imperial.
 +
 
 +
Business as usual continued, and Stones was soon promoted to the final enlisted rank he would hold; Master Flight Sergeant. Again however, continued the hauling of raw materials, which by now seemed to be an task that would never end. But, after only a few weeks, a rank restructure took place. And suddenly Stones found himself commissioned to Officer, by default, because he was at that time holding the rank at the [E-7] grade, and all of those who held that or a higher enlisted rank were made officers. For Stones this marked an important event in his career, despite the fact that he had been doing little more then logistical work, having became an officer meant that he could now start carving out a path for further advancement within the Empire. After he finished his final delivery of raw materials, he was given new orders concerning preparation for Operation: [[Operation Dread Lord|Dread Lord]]. The orders he received were a shock to him, and came completely unexpected. After having flown freighters, with nobody else on his ships at all, he now received orders to take command of a Victory Star Destroyer which was manned by thousands. After heading to his newly assigned ship, Stones finally set foot on a Star Destroyer again, nearly a year after he had last stood on one while being a Crewman. Now he found enlisted personnel completely unknown to him saluting him as an Officer and also their Commanding Officer, while he had not been in the presence of any other Imperial at all for so long.

Information

Early Life

((Hell if I'll ever get inspiration to write something here.))

Life in the Empire

Imperial Academy

After Stones had enlisted for the Galactic Empire, he and multiple other new recruits were transported to the Imperial Academy by Lambda-Shuttle. It was here that he met his training officer, a young man only a few years older then himself; Lieutenant Commander Daniel Ascarion. Unbeknownst to Stones, the man that was now his training officer would later become the Naval Commanding Officer. Stones went through the many lessons at a steady pace, learning more and more about the workings within the Empire, and the many craft that he would fly, and would later command. After weeks of studying and making tests, he and his peers were called to the parade grounds. For Stones awaited a graduation with honors, and a promotion to Crewman. His life in the Empire could now truly begin.


The Shadow Fleet

Soon after having graduated, Stones was assigned to the 5th Imperial Fleet, commonly referred to as 'The Shadow Fleet'. At the time, the 5th Imperial Fleet was commanded by Vice Admiral Overmind, who would soon after take on a position in Naval Command as Signals Officer. This left the fleet in the hands of Commander Mayas Lennorian, who would be Stones CO for some time to come. Shortly after having joined up with the rest of the fleet, Stones met a man who would later be known as Lasidious von Feldure, a fellow Crewman whom just as Stones would later be well known throughout the Navy. He and Stones would both hold the same ranks for a long time to come, it wouldn't be until they were both officers that they finally stopped wearing the same rank.

Stones returning from patrol.

As a junior enlisted, Stones was nothing more then just a fighter pilot. After his rendezvous with the Fleet, he had been made a member of the Black Hand squadron, which consisted of only regular TIE fighters. Strangely enough, and for reasons unbeknown to Stones, he never had to fly together with the squadron. Instead, he would be sent out on solo mission on a daily basis to patrol nearby lanes and trade routes, or even go as far as the opposite side of systems in search for hostile entities. While it felt strange to be flying alone in a tiny star fighter, and certainly did not feel safe at all, Stones did enjoy the freedom of being able to fly by himself, instead of having to follow another. He would remain doing this for some time, until he was one day ordered to stay aboard the Star Destroyer he was based on; they were going to deploy elsewhere.

The carrier Stones was assigned on was tasked to head to his home system; Corellia. The increases in trade in the system had led to the trade routes becoming full and chaotic, up to the point that local security was no longer capable of halting any smugglers who tried to reach the nearby planets. It now became a task of the Navy to do so. Deploying with a heap of other pilots, and with new craft, namely TIE/Sr Scouts, they were issued orders to individually patrol the trade routes, scanning the cargo of the many passing freighters in search of illegal commodities. Any smugglers found would be reported, and subsequently arrested on the planet surface. For various days, Stones patrolled the southernmost lane, and even though he was barely able to find any smugglers in this relatively quiet route, he did manage to catch something else. Something much bigger.

As Stones was patrolling the routes for yet another day, in the far distance something caught his eye. One by one, a heap of Capital vessels left hyperspace and started flying deeper into the system. Using the powerful scanners of his ship, Stones was able to zoom in on the distance ships, and the moment he saw the image, alarm bells started ringing inside his head. These Capital ships were nothing else but MC80's, and the giant logo on their side pointed out that they belonged to the Falleen Federation, an enemy of the Empire! Quickly Stones tried to contact his direct superiors, but being unable to manage to establish a connection, decided to go search from someone higher up. He succeeded in making contact with Naval Command, and report that a large fleet of Falleen Federation vessels had entered Corellian space and were on the move. Stones' quick response and reporting allowed Imperial reinforcements to rapidly head for the system, while Stones kept his Scout's sensors in range of the hostile fleet, but not his own ship in the range of their lasers, and continued to report on the situation. Hours later the first reinforcements arrived and more followed. Unable to do whatever they intended to due to the ever increasing Imperial presence, the Falleen Fleet jumped back into hyperspace without a single shot having been fired. After the fleet left the mission in Corellia continued as normal, and throughout the next few days Stones had some additional success in his searches. He identified various illegal vessels who were heading for a remote planet in the system, which were subsequently taken care of.

Throughout the next month, Stones solo piloting went a step further, as his new orders no longer made him rely on a carrier to bring him to places. Under these new order he was now authorized to jump to remote system in the nearby area, and conduct various assignments there. On one occasion he would even work together with two pilots from a different fleet. One of these pilots became a friend of Stones, and would just like him continue to advance throughout his Imperial career. After finishing the assignment with his new friend, Stones next assignment would lead to him flying with "The worst ship I've ever flown.", having been assigned a Class VI Bulk Freighter, which had a hyperdrive motivator that might as well have been made from recycled moisture vaporators and wrecked X-wings, his assignment was, at first, to collect materials from a number of mines before moving it to orbit.
