− | ===Pre-Imperial History===
| + | Carmon Hdarr is a notable figure from Talus, a moon in the Corellian system, whose life journey from a respected technician to a member of the Galactic Empire's armed forces is a testament to personal resilience and transformation. |
| | | |
− | Carmon Hdarr, was raised on the small moon of Talus in the Corellian system. His father worked for the local armed forces, developing communications systems for the Navy and his Mother owned a small medical dispensary. Carmon attended the Talus Trade academy where he was trained in repairs of ventilation and climate control systems. Working locally Carmon developed a name for himself and was well know and well respected within the surrounding towns and farms. | + | ===Early Life and Education=== |
| + | Born into a family with a strong military and medical background, Carmon was exposed to the disciplines of communication technology and healthcare from a young age. His father's involvement in developing communication systems for the Navy inspired Carmon to pursue a technical career. At the Talus Trade Academy, he excelled in his studies, focusing on ventilation and climate control systems, a crucial field given Talus's varied climate zones. His knack for troubleshooting and innovative repair solutions quickly made him a sought-after technician in the region. |
| | | |
− | At the young age of 19 Carmon met his future wife Atheria, after a short period of dating they found out they were expecting their first born Sarviran. A year later Carmon and Atheria were married and rented a small unit closer to the Dearic the capital of Talus. Carmon continued to work on his business but credits were tight and the picture perfect life he thought he would have was not becoming a reality. Carmon took on a position at a larger ventilation company working on the larger office buildings and dry docks around Talus. The credits were good but the hours put a strain not only on Carmon but on his marriage and family. Within 12 months of taking on the role Carmon and his wife separated. Atheria moved back to Nashal with her parents and Sarviran. Carmon continued to rent the small apartment and worked increasingly longer hours to numb the feeling of loosing his wife and child. Carmon would often take a speeder over to Nashal to visit his daughter however as his work load increased the time he spent with Sarviran was becoming less and less.
| + | ===Career and Personal Life=== |
| + | Carmon's early career was marked by rapid growth and success. He established his own business, catering to the needs of local farms and towns, and became known for his reliability and expertise. His personal life took a joyful turn when he met Atheria, with whom he shared a deep connection. Their happiness was multiplied with the arrival of their daughter, Sarviran. However, the financial pressures of providing for his growing family led Carmon to accept a position with a larger company. This job, while financially rewarding, demanded long hours and extensive travel, straining his relationship with Atheria and reducing his time with Sarviran. The mounting stress eventually led to their separation, a decision that deeply affected Carmon. |
| | | |
− | 2 years later Carmon had developed a drinking problem and when he had his little time off work he would crawl inside a Corellian whiskey bottle and stay there. One day after another night of drinking Carmon turned up to a repair job. Everything was going fine and Carmon had the unit up and running but had forgotten to turn back on the pressure release safety valve. The unit exploded, the force sending Carmon back 3-4 ft. Carmon woke up several days later in a medical clinic. His mother, daughter and Ex-wife were at his bedside. Sarviran climbed on the bed and wrapped her arms around Carmon's neck. The pain hurt him but he didn't care he was just happy to hug his daughter. The medical droid attended the room and stated that the force had not done any serious damage to Carmon's body. He would make a full recovery and with a few more bacta treatments would be able to return to work within a week or so.
| + | ===Downward Spiral and Recovery=== |
| + | The separation from his family was the beginning of a dark period in Carmon's life. He sought solace in alcohol, which soon turned into a dependency. His professional life suffered as well, culminating in a serious accident caused by his negligence. This incident served as a wake-up call for Carmon. The prospect of losing his life and the realization of what his daughter meant to him propelled him towards recovery. With the support of his family and a chance encounter with a wise taxi driver, Carmon began to rebuild his life, focusing on sobriety and rekindling his relationship with Sarviran. |
| | | |
− | 1 week later Carmon attended the main office for the company he worked for. As he walked into the building his manager was standing at reception. He gestured Carmon to follow him without saying a word. Carmon was lead into a meeting room along with 2 other men in suits he did not recognize. On the table are 2 datapads and a pen. His manager requested he sit and began reading out the contents of the first datapad.
| + | ===Transition to the Imperial Forces=== |
| + | The stability Carmon found in his new job with the local militia was short-lived. The announcement of the Galactic Empire's takeover and the subsequent integration of the militia into the Imperial forces presented Carmon with a crucial decision. Encouraged by his father, who saw this as an opportunity for a fresh start, Carmon chose to transfer to the Imperial forces. This decision not only marked a significant change in his career but also symbolized his commitment to turning over a new leaf. |
| | | |
− | ''"Firstly these 2 men are from the Corellian health and safety office and license office respectively, it is a formality they attend this session.
| + | ===Legacy=== |
− | | + | Carmon Hdarr's journey is a compelling narrative of overcoming personal demons, embracing change, and finding redemption. His life story serves as an inspiration to those facing similar struggles, reminding them of the power of resilience and the possibility of a new beginning. As a member of the Imperial forces, Carmon continues to contribute to the safety and security of the Corellian system, his story a testament to the strength of the human spirit. |
− | ''Approximately 2 weeks ago you were involved in a workplace accident in which a ventilation unit exploded and caused you to attend a medical facility. We have had analaysis droids go over the unit and site and we have found that the safety valve was not properly secured and left in the override position. Whilst normally this would constitute a warning, whilst in the medical facility the staff ran a toxicology scan and found large traces of alcohol and spice in your system at the time. Therefore it leave us no choice but to terminate your position here and to also revoke your license to work on ventilation systems. This not to be argued and you do not have the right to appeal this verdict as it directly goes against every policy. You are dismissed. ''

− | Carmon sitting there both hands in a ball looking directly at the smug face of his manager it took everything he had not to leap across the table and land a few hits on him. Carmon stood up without saying a word, looked directly into his manager's eyes, turned and walked out. He got half way home before what had just happen hit. The tears swelled up in his eyes as he tried to hold back a scream. As he walked in the front door of his unit he looked around at the mess. Take away boxes, dirty plates, unclean laundry lay scattered everywhere. He walked over to the liquor cabinet every bottle was empty. He opened his bedside draw and grabbed out the small blaster he had used for protection especially on late night jobs. He tucked the pistol into his uniform, he grabbed a photo of his daughter and a small ring his father gave to him on his 18th birthday. Carmon walked downstairs and into the liquor store across the street, with the remanding 30 credits he had he bought a bottle of whisky and a packet of Cigarras. He caught a taxi to the outskirts of Dearic as the taxi pulled up Carmon held out his blaster, the poor Taxi driver froze. ''I am not going to hurt you, I don't want your money. I just don't have anything so I am going to go now. Please don't call the police.'' he said with the most deadpan look on his face. Carmon stepped out of the taxi, threw a Cigarra through the window and walked away.
| |
− | | |
− | An hour or so later Carmon was sitting on a cliff edge overlooking Dearic. The lights of the city still shimmered as he realized that once he is gone the planet will keep spinning. As he pulled the last few drags of his Cigarra and downed the last of the drink he thought back on the life he had lived. The things that made him happy and how all he did was try to survive and it was all thrown back on him. Carmon pulled out his blaster and unlocked it. He places the barrel against his temple and shut his eyes. His heart was jumping out of his chest then the most amazing thing happens. He swears he hears his daughter calling out for her dad. He opens his eyes and scans the surround area, no one was there. As he looks down he sees the picture of Sarvarian he had bought with him, it was on the ground right behind him. He looked around again in a panic, he realised what he was doing, what he had almost done. Carmon bursts into tears, the scream he let out would have been heard for miles. He dropped the pistol on the ground and picked up the picture. He began walking towards the town until he found a holoterminal. Carmon dialed his mother, he didn't even say a word he just cried into the phone. Within minutes the local police were on the scene and had him. Carmon was going to be ok.
| |
− | | |
− | Carmon was taken to the local station where he was going to be held until his Mother could pick him up for his own protection. Carmon was sitting in a chair blanket wrapped around his shoulders with 2 guards in the room.
| |
− | ''How did you guys know where I was? I had not said a word to my mum'' Carmon asked.
| |
− | ''We had an anonymous tip off that someone was about to blast themselves on the cliffs, we just happen to find you at the holoterminal before you got up there.'' the guard replied without lifting his eyes off his datapad.
| |
− | | |
− | Then it hit Carmon, it was the Taxi driver he had held the blaster out at! He had called the police, not because he robbed him of a fare but because he knew what Carmon was going to do.
| |
− | | |
− | Carmon's mum arrived at the station a few hours later, she ran in and hugged him. The officers wished him well and to stay safe. As Carmon and his mother walked towards her speeder he asked if he could stop past the taxi rink on the outskirts. Sure enough as they pulled up the old man was standing outside his cab smoking. Carmon walked over to the old and and held out the almost full packet of Ciggaras.
| |
− | ''This is all I have, thank you'' Carmon said softly
| |
− | | |
− | The old man looked at him and then the Ciggaras. ''I am not taking these because you owe me, I am taking them because they will kill you. You don't owe me anything, I have seen that look before and have had a blaster pulled on me more times than you have had hot dinners. You didn't even unlock yours. Now go, get out of this city and make something of your life. Don't waste it''
| |
− | | |
− | Carmon's burst into tears as he hugged the older man, he thanked him again as he walked away. As he got in the car his mother looked at him puzzled but did not ask questions. They pulled out of the city and onto the transit ways, the speeder hit full speed and before he knew it the capital was behind him.

− | == Imperial History ==
| |
− | 6 months after moving back home after the events in he capital Carmon had secured a job working for the local militia installing and maintaining communication arrays around the local area. It was nothing compared to his old job but that is what he wanted. He was seeing his daughter as much as he wanted, he had a stable home, he stopped drinking and had started eating better.
| |
− | | |
− | Carmon along with his mother and father were sitting down having a family dinner when both Carmon's and his father's comlinks began glowing. Carmon's father activated his first, it was a pre-reordered message from the Militia chief requesting all personnel return to their local garrisons for an important meeting at 0500 the following morning. Wear uniforms but weapons are not required unless it is a ceremonial side arm. The following morning both Carmon and his father dressed in their uniforms made their way to the local compound. As they approached they could see a shuttle just outside the walls with white Stormtroopers and men in Olive uniforms directing the flow of traffic. As they pulled the speeder up they saw other militia officers and soldiers inside. Everyone made their way inside the compound and stood at parade formation.
| |
− | | |
− | A tall man in an olive colored uniform approaches the lectern and with that the whole compound goes silent.
| |
− | | |
− | ''Gentleman and ladies of the Talus security and armed forces, I am Moff Vorru.''
| |
− | | |
− | ''I am the new governor of the Corellian system, as you may or may not be aware that your government has signed a treaty with the Galactic Empire to assume command of the system as to allow future growth and prosperity to the Corellian system as a whole! Now you are all the simple Solider, I do not mean that in an offensive way I mean that in a sense of political talk is not what you were summoned here for. Now obviously with an Imperial take over means that a local militia is no longer needed. So today we are providing each and every one of you 3 opportunities. First - Join the Imperial armed forces under your current rank and role or equivalent and you will be stationed where you are now. Not changes, just a new uniform and possible new boss on the first working day of the week. Second option - Resign your position, depending on your exact role and Imperial liaison office may be able to assist in gaining you civilian employment but that is not a guarantee. Third option - You may resign your current positing but have an immediate transfer to any imperial branch/ service you wish providing you pass basic Imperial training. You will not be guaranteed deployment to here on Talus but any young soldiers that wish to see the galaxy without having to go through normal recruitment process and waiting times this is a perfect opportunity for you. At the end of this ceremony there will be 6 terminals available for you to make your decision and if you need any assistance please contact the closest Imperial personnel. Thank you and long live the Emperor!''
| |
− | | |
− | The crowd cheered as the Moff walked off stage, Carmon looked at his father who had served the Talus Militia for 40 years.
| |
− | ''Well this is the best time for both of us I think'' Carmon's dad said looking at him.
| |
− | ''I am going to retire, I want to help your mum run the shop and the Imperials payout pretty well, you are going. I want you to get away from here, Sarvarin will be ok. She will still see you but you are going. A few years with the Empire will set you up for life.''
| |
− | | |
− | Carmon walked over to terminal with his father. He entered in his identification and selected transfer. The terminal spat out a small datacard and stated to present this card at 0500 tomorrow morning.
