Ikurei Serper is an educated Coruscanti, currently working for the Imperial Security Bureau as Amber Region Supervisor.

Biography

Pre-enlistment life

Family

Tall and well-built with piercing blue eyes, Ikurei was a son of House Serper, a megalomaniac family who pretended to be of noble blood but never managed to prove it, in spite of gigantic efforts over decades. His father Bhereck, an import/export merchant, was only a distant cousin of the current Head of the Family and her mother Elayni a simple librarian, making Ikurei a far remote choice for the next Head of the Family. He had an older brother Teram and sister Jilena (twins) and a younger brother Vlondell.

Occupation and centers of interest

His family was relatively fortunate and as is customary in the Serper House the children did not attend schools but had private teachers. This gave Ikurei a sheltered youth and a strong Imperial indoctrination and no dramatic event occured to change his views. In his early 20ies he tried numerous activities and in the end decided to focus on history, dancing, writing and strategy games.

History

Ikurei has a great interest in history, in particular historical archives and events, the older the better. He likes to search old data and reference history books for past events, comparing sources and versions, looking for anomalies and disagreements, and ultimately for truth. This research and analytical exercise became a serious hobby and he started attending seminars and talks. His research focuses on the battles of the Republic, in particular the less known and treated conflicts between the Republic military and insurrection forces.

Dancing

Introduced to dancing at the age of 16, Ikurei has since that day not stopped dancing, attending courses and workshops regularly and training hard to achieve accuracy and style. He became quite able at couple dancing, in a wide variety of music styles.

Writing

Reading had become an obsession, especially history archives, and naturally writing became a natural activity, from reports to long argumentations. Although he had yet to make his research and findings in history known, lacking the reputation to publish in respected peer-reviewed periodicals, he had found a niche market which did not require him to have any kind of diploma or certification. When he was 6, his sister was gifted a Squall, a small lagomorph native to the planet Chandrila. The furry animal was adorable and her the young Serpers immediately became fond of the pet nicknamed "Great Ears". Unfortunately, the animal died within a month, provoking a drama in the family. His sister devastated, Ikurei swore he would learn everything there was to know about Squalls. It took years but eventually he reached a surprisingly high level of knowledge, and became a known authority in the minor noble circles of Coruscant. At 16 he was asked to write for a very serious holo-book project: "Good care and Love for our companions" and co-authored a chapter on the Squalls. The holo-book became a success. Since then, Ikurei is compiling his knowledge about Squalls and writing a manuscript about Squalls, intending it to be the reference on the topic.

History Investigator

After finishing his education and passing the graduation exams at the age of 20 through the holonet, he had to find a professional occupation. He chose to turn to history, not to become Historian or Academic but more of an investigator, a mix of archeologist, adventurer and historian. Surprisingly the Head of the House opposed a strong refusal, especially as History was House Serper's obsession. Ikurei fought a long time for the permission to candidate for a fund from the Imperial Academy and finally managed to wrestle a compromise: he would train for 5 years with a veteran of the Imperial Army in self defense, survival and piloting and if he proved a brilliant student he would be allowed to candidate and be supported in his research. Thus began his training with Csom.

Csom

Csom was a burly man with scars all across his body and an iron grip. He had a no non-sense attitude that were the trademark of military veterans and tolerated no lack in discipline or attention. Soon, Ikurei came to revere the man and put all his energy and efforts into the training, absorbing the man's teachings and drinking the man's words about the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Army. Stories of comradship, battles and skirmishes, endless drills and trainings, state-of-the-art equipment and weapons of unimaginable power filled the young man's head and blotted out all his other occupation. After 4 years and 2 months of intense training, on his 28th birthday, Csom presented him with a letter of recommendation to join the Imperial Army. It was a revelation to Ikurei and the very day he strode through the nearest recruitment office.

Enlistment life

Intergalactic Holdings Incorporated

On Year 12 Day 125 Ikurei requested and obtained a leave of absence which he used to meet a banker of the Interplanetary Holdings Incorporated on Borlethain, a recent and rich looking bank dedicated to the late Adim Locke, a famous local investor. His rendez_vous with a Falleen named Xunura, to discuss funding his Squall holo-book, turned short when the bank was suddenly attacked by local thugs. Armed, determined and ready to kill, the robbers seized the bank by force, killing the security guards. At that time alone in Xunura's office, Ikurei had been forced to follow the robbers in the main hall.

However the bank went into lockdown and the robbers started to lose their nerves and only their leader, a bald and ugly looking human called "Skulls" kept the robbers in line. A customer, a human called Alex Rin, had escaped the thugs attention and was causing trouble using and Skulls had decided to put an end to it, threatening to kill a hostage, a woman lying down next to Ikurei. Knowing he would be the next hostage taken, Ikurei decided to act decisively and attacked Skulls when he was not looking.

The two men went down and a vicious hand to hand struggle began. In spite of his extensive combat training, Skulls was considerably more experienced and tougher than the Coruscanti but Ikurei had gained a serious advantage by breaking the thugs knee and taking a superior position. Two other thugs in the room, a human and a wookiee ran to Skulls help but before they could reach the two fighting Alex Rin attacked the human thug. In the mean time, Ikurei had successfully used his edge and had began to strangle Skulls when the wookiee reached him. The wookiee grabbed Ikurei and began lifting him, using its inhuman strength. Ikurei had tried a last trick but it had failed to move the wookiee, but all was not lost as Alex Rin had managed to grab the other thug's blaster and had shot the wookiee in the back. Using this instant of respite Ikurei had taken hold of Skulls' blaster and shot multiple times the wookiee in the stomach, continuing strangling Skulls in the mean time. Both Skulls and the wookiee faltered at the same time and went unconscious, on the verge of death.

The last thug chose this instant to enter with a hostage. Unable to shoot the robber, Ikurei took cover but Alex Rin was injured by a blaster shot and went down. Another customer, James Aydan chose this moment to enter the hall behind the robber but his attack was so clumsy he managed to get himself shot in the gut. Ikurei had missed an opportunity to kill the thug, but the hostage decided to break loose and Ikurei seized this second chance and shot down the robber with two precise chest blaster hits, saving the hostage's life.

Moments later the local security police burst into the bank and took care of the hostages. With two hostages saved, three robbers killed Ikurei was duly congratulated by the police for his pivotal role in resolving this crisis.

How I became an Imperial

Imperial Army

Ikurei Serper on alert following the deposing of Emperor Vodo Bonias

I have always believed to be an Imperial: born on Coruscant, the heart of the Empire, in a family of loyal and committed Imperials and educated according to the ideals of the New Order, it was only natural to believe myself an Imperial. I found myself to be wrong, birth and basic education does not make one an Imperial.

My pre-enlistment life was a shame in retrospect, unworthy of an Imperial. My upbringing greatly benefited from the efforts of the men and women of the Galactic Empire, while I never did anything in particular for the Empire. Naturally I studied with the utmost serious at school and fulfilled my obligations as an Imperial citizen with devotion, but aside from this bare minimum I could not boast of any additional contribution. The real shame though, was that I did not feel any inconvenience at profiting from the system, I even called myself an Imperial of good standing, and did proudly so. I was fortunate to be given the golden opportunity to understand the depth of my mistake and the chance to remedy to this poor behavior.

It is difficult to pinpoint the moment when I realized the true calling of an Imperial. Perhaps it was during my training sessions with Csom, the former Stormtrooper who had been hired to teach me how to survive in the outer-rim. His credentials had been impressive, his competence undoubted and his training appropriate, but it had been more than that. He had also educated me in the Imperial ideals in a way that no academy teacher had ever matched, with stories of the Imperial Army on the field. Not stories one could read in holo-fictions or news reports, overly dramatic and exaggerated, oh no. They had been straight and blunt tales and it allowed the might of the Imperial Army and the strengths of the structures and organization behind it. Being an Imperial meant being part of this efficient war machine. Although it had been a revelation at the time, I could only see its logical conclusion: joining the Imperial Army.

Perhaps it was during my time in the Imperial Academy, being in contact with representatives of the Empire and joining the Imperial Army after graduating with honours. Although my official entry into the Galactic Empire had been a great moment in my life, I had not contributed much to further the ideals of the New Order, aside from successfully filling a form, allowing me to leave the ranks of recruit and become a First Class Private in the Imperial Army.

Perhaps it was the day His Majesty the former Emperor Vodo Bonias was deposed. At the time I was a great admirer of His Majesty and I used to carry with me dozens of pictures of the Emperor which I liked to offer to Imperial and non-Imperial citizens alike. No matter the reason, the removal of the icon of Imperial culture and strength had been a huge shock. My military unit moving to red alert status was in comparison barely felt. I think it was during the following days that my conception of being an Imperial really matured. Under the leadership and guidance of my chain of command I managed to return to my previous commitment and motivation and find a new meaning to my service than the sole worshipping of one man. Proper respect must be given to the Emperor, this goes without saying. Mindless adoration does not make on an Imperial, the New Order is much more than that.

It is service that grants one the honor and privilege to be called Imperial, thus I believe I became an Imperial by serving the Emperor and the Empire, and as my service improves I become a better Imperial.

Return to duty

During my tour of duty as Commanding Officer of the 6th Brigade, I went missing in action and was only found again 5 years later. An unexpected, and totally unacceptable situation. I do not recall the events leading me to the ISB facility : I remember reading scout reports and assignments, then a white impenetrable fog. The next clear and sharp memory is that of the ISB interrogator, and the dull grey glint of the steel infrastructure. There was a long period of examinations, of questions, and I dearly wanted to oblige, but I could not formulate answers. Not even theories, suggestions, conspiracies. I could offer... nothing. Nothing to explain, justify, excuse my disappearance, my failure in the line of duty. Nothing to make sense of the shame that has befallen me. The interrogators were skilled and driven, and conducted the questionning with a practiced and firm hand. There were rough times, to say the least, but I did not blame them, not once. They were doing their job, and deserved a better response than a lame and overused "I don't know". I did encourage their efforts, even praised them once after a particuliar intense session. I clearly remember the face the interrogator did, although I could not say if it was anger, exasperation or amazement.

Eventually, I found balance. I was, am, Ikurei Serper, Captain in the Imperial Army. Or so the ISB claimed, and I never question the word of the ISB. To this day, I still don't know what happened during the 5 years I went missing. The ISB does the questionning, not the answering after all. Then it was decided to release me. I had become restless and showed signs that I was in the process of recovering the skills of my trade. And serving through a tour of duty might trigger my missing memories awake.

The Galaxy is a dangerous place : nefarious organizations and unsavoury individuals lurk everywhere, hunting for their next victim. I wrote everywhere, I should say almost everywhere. Only the Galactic Empire offers security and stability in this chaotic maelstrom of intentions. I somehow felt prey to these intents, and wish it on no one. This is why I reinlisted : to prevent anyone from being a victim from those who revelled in such dishonorable actions. And perhaps it would also help me. Perhaps not. But I am not afraid, should the worse happen, I would be with the best military force in the Galaxy. And the ISB has my number.

Imperial Navy

Ikurei Serper as a Tie-Interceptor pilot in the 9th Group

After a brief Academy refresher, where he graduated with honours for the second time, Ikurei was assigned to the 1st Fleet under the command of Fleet Admiral Fenris Soontir, and to the 9th Group under the command of Admiral Serris Nemor. His former rank of Army Captain was tranferred to the Navy as Lieutenant, and Ikurei was assigned to the 181st fighter squadron.

A fierce fighter and cunning tactician, Ikurei climbed the rank of the Imperial Navy with confidence and following the resignation of Fleet Admiral Fenris Soontir on Y21 D201 and the nomination of Admiral Serris Nemor as 1st Fleet Commanding Officer, Ikurei was designated as 9th Group Executive Officer on Y21 D248 by Fleet Admiral Zachary Savk.

At the start of Y22, Rear-Admiral Savk resigned his position and Admiral Serris Nemor was appointed as 1st Fleet Commanding Officer. Ikurei was the Admiral's natural choice for 9th Group Commanding Officer and the appointment was made official on Y22 D6 by Lord Admiral Kef Drenall.

Initially assigned Tie-Bombers, his piloting skills and lightning-fast reflexes quickly earned him praises from his commanding officers and under his leadership, his squadron swiftly reached an operational level worthy of mention. He was awarded the Basic Imperial Navy Starfighter Wings level on Y22 D9 by Lord Admiral Kef Drenall, then barely 200 days later on Y22 D219, he was awarded the Advanced Imperial Navy Starfighter Wings by Lord Admiral Kef Drenall. Following this, his fighters were upgraded to the formidable Tie-Interceptors and he specialized in pirate interception and dogfight combat. He also developed specialized fighter training plans within the 9th Group, turning his unit into a reknown fighter wing specialist.

In the last part of his career within the Navy, Ikurei took on training the next generation of Navy officers within the 9th Group, with several like Talon Garadon and Thrae Claddlyl pursuing exemplar careers in other branches of the Galactic Empire. When Emperor Seele finally announced the Imperial Restructuration, Ikurei took his chance to expand his horizons and knowledge of the Empire by joining the Imperial Intelligence.

Imperial Intelligence

Public records of Ikurei's activities within the Empire became sparse since he joined the Imperial Intelligence. Part of his work has however been publicly recognized on Year 22 Day 50 for, and I quote then Director of Intelligence Tec Vaan: "A Letter of Commendation is awarded (to Ikurei Serper) for excellent planning, technical and administrative work on intelligence gathering tools."

On Year 23 Day 259, Director Elaine von Veritrax promoted Ikurei to the rank of Chief, and had the following to note : "I’d like to take a moment to recognize Ikurei Serper and congratulate him on his promotion to Chief. His contributions to II have been immeasurable and he continues to display competencies that truly act as a force multiplier in our daily operations."

After a year spent as Chief, Ikurei was promoted to Bureau Chief of Analysis, and turned his attention to the many enemies and challenges of the Empire, unravelling plans and formulating courses of action to steer the Empire clear from pitfalls and enemy traps.

Almost all of his work within Imperial Intelligence was classified, but several of his projects have had an impact on Imperial protocols and daily life, and continue to be used to assist Imperials in making the Empire a more secure and prosperous faction in an otherwise lawless and chaotic galaxy.

After two years of dutifull service in the shadows of the Empire, Ikurei decided to return to a more hands-on service and resigned his command position.

Imperial Security Bureau

Ikurei Serper inspecting a secure facility in the Amber Region

Having completed several long term projects for the Imperial Intelligence, Ikurei longed to return to more leg-work duties than the desk and monitors that had been his daily routine during the past two years. He had considered rejoining the military, but he quickly rejected it: not out of lack of interest but rather out of lack of necessity. There was an abundance of officers, both experienced and upcoming, and Ikurei felt he would be taking a spot rather than filling in a gap.

MInd and Rgov were the other two options, but before he could start investigating his options, the Imperial Security Bureau opened three job positions as Regional Supervisor. That was an instant match: a mixture of desk job, requiring minutia and precision, but also leg-work in the form of inspections and securization operations of both assets and personnel. He quickly updated his resume and sent it to the ISB. An interview later, Ikurei got the job and on Year 25 Day 328 he resigned from his position of Imperial Intelligence Chief of Analysis to join the Imperial Security Bureau as Amber Region Supervisor.

The Amber Region is a formidable challenge for all branches of the Empire, including the Imperial Security Bureau. Situated in the farthest north-east reaches of the Galaxy, it is a slice of space still raw and undiscovered where the Galactic Empire is progressively bringing security, order and prosperity to a too-long abandoned population. It also a place of history and mysticism as the legendary Sith Worlds can be found there, and they need to be closely watched to prevent looters and rogue Force users from pillaging the tombs.

Working closely in tandem with Regional Government officials and the military Amber Task Force, Ikurei ensures security protocols are adhered to, personnel records kept up to date and no unbecoming behaviour is left unanswered.
