About

Personality

Robert has always been a man of honor and integrity as well as having a strong sense of duty to his government which he undertakes with great pride. He is an advent fan of protocol and formality while performing his duties. He believes protocol to be an important part of military discipline and showing respect for superior officers. However he is not perfect and has been reprimanded a few times when he has erred, but has taken any reprimands with acknowledgement and a mindset of not making the same mistake twice. When not on duty Robert is quite social and easy going.

Throughout his life Robert has known and seen injustice. He saw first hand the corruption of the so called Galactic Alliance. He sees clearly what is wrong and what is right. This sense of justice is another driving force in Robert's determination to assist the Empire in bringing order to the galaxy. He is easily distressed when confronted with injustice or witnesses it happen to someone else however he normally won't fight it head on, knowing it to be futile in most situations, instead he remains calm and tries to correct the balance of injustice by being a loyal soldier in the Empire.

A major part of Robert's live is purpose. He believes his life to be meaningless and uneventful without a higher purpose. Currently he believes serving in the Empire even at a low level is enough to give him a greater purpose though is looking forward towards the day he can serve in a higher capacity for the betterment of the Empire.

History

Pre-Empire

The New Republic

Robert initially joined the New Republic in hopes of combating the evil he once thought was the Galactic Empire. Based on his operational computer skills he was placed in the Republic's ship building factory, Incom Corporation. After a short term Robert was appointed head of prospecting for Incom. However things turned sour quick when Robert began realizing how corrupt the Republic really was. Seeing disorder, leaders bickering and slandering each other in public and corruption run amuck made Robert very uneasy to the point of him resigning from Incom Corporation and abandoning his Republic citizenship.

The Falleen Federation

Military Portrait of Lt. Commander Decca

Still wishing to combat the Empire, Robert applied for citizenship in the Falleen Federation as well as enlisting in the Falleen Army. During his one year stay Robert had been a system Governor, Division XO, artist and security advisor to the FIB. Robert enjoyed serving in the Federation however as time went on he felt the leaders were not noticing the work he was doing to better the Federation and ultimately he began to feel alienated from his peers. However that was only the final straw, Robert had always wished to see higher protocol enforced in the military and certain standards defined and enforced.

He had a yearning for order..

The Conspiracy (Work-in-progress)

Later that year Robert was reviewing battle reports from Derra IV and noticed a strike that was issued by the GA forces to bomb a city suspected to be an Imperial stronghold which resulted in the complete destruction of the city. Knowing there were innocent citizens there, Robert spoke with the Deputy Minister of Defence in private. He was told the citizens were going pro-Imperials and became a risk. When Robert asked what they were going to do when the media finds out, the Deputy Minister told Robert not to worry because they would say the IU forces did it and no one would know since there were no survivors. Robert did some digging and discovered there were no confirmed Imperial forces in the city and suspected the GA got rid of it before the Imperials got to it and turned the citizens on the GA forces. Robert was deeply upset, the country he served loyally committing such atrocities and then not even taking responsibility for it had no honor at all and that made Robert angry. Right then Robert had a dilemma. Should he stay silent, and remain loyal as he always has been to a government coalition that uses such dishonest methods to further its agenda, or does he betray those who lied to him and no longer deserves his allegiance.

The Limbo

During the waning days of his service, Robert intercepted low band transmissions from Imperial Territory on his BFF-1 Bulk Freighter "Trembling Wilbury", many of which were speeches made by Lord Seele. Robert was instantly captivated by the message of an ordered and lawful Empire, an Empire ruled by one man for the people and not for his own ambitions. Robert studied Lord Seele's transmissions attentively and became enchanted with the Imperial Executor. One saying that stuck with Robert was at the end of an interview with Lord Seele, his last advice was "Empire above all else", a saying that Robert would eventually live by once he had joined the New Order

The Assistant (Work-in-progress)

While on a training missing with his assistant, Lieutenant Ferguson, Robert discovered Ferguson's datapad on his table while he was away. Robert curious what his assistant had on his calendar, opened up a few pages and by accident discovered a report sent to an unknown Staff Agent in Imperial Intelligence. This report had troop movements, force numbers and ship locations. Unbeknownst to Robert, Ferguson left his datapad unattended with the report inside on purpose as a plan to turn Robert. The young Commander then sighed heavily as Ferguson was a trusted assistant and he knew the man for some time, however his duty came first and he knew what he had to do. Robert approached his assistant and and informed him that he was being placed under arrest for espionage and aiding the enemy and he slapped hand cuffs on him while escorting him to his ship. Robert spent some time interrogating the Lieutenant who resisted even the most horrible interrogation techniques as required by the Federation. Finally he just sat down across from the shackled and battered Lieutenant and he began talking calming to him. Eventually Ferguson began playing on Robert's sense of justice and honor and old him all about the Empire and the ideals of the New Order which Robert had been secretly listening to in his private ship. Ferguson offered Robert a place in the New Order if he would help him escape to Imperial space.

The Escape

Late in Year 14 Robert resigned as Lieutenant Commander of the Falleen Protection Force while aboard his personal ship with Lieutenant Ferguson still in custody. He still didn't trust him and knew it could be an elaborate trap to get him into Imperial space to be detained and interrogated. However he knew Ferguson risked his life doing all of this and he had been listening to pirated Imperial transmissions for weeks, and also that he had longed for a place to provide him with the order and structure his life was missing. So he set his ship into hyper towards Coruscant. A few days later he had arrived at Coruscant and turned himself over to agents of the Imperial Security Bureau telling them he wishes to defect to Galactic Empire. After being detained in a classified ISB facility for a long three day debriefing he finally joined the Empire he once considered evil.
