Military Career-
-The Beginning
After the Imperial Academy passing various tests Hudson was accepted at the rank of Crewman [E-2] into the Imperial Navy. Serving as a pilot of a well established fleet he knew from the offset that being part of the Imperial Navy was the Career for him. Serving in the core, in the Tenth Imperial Fleet, Hudson felt more than happy within the Fleet; as time passed he worked his way through the ranks reaching seniority within the Enlisted proving to be a valuable member of the Fleet setting standards on operations and new peaks on routine patrol. During the reform of the Imperial Navy, Hudson proved himself worthy of a commission to the rank of Ensign [O-1] from this point on the newly promoted Ensign knew that he wanted to go all the way in the Imperial Navy setting new standards and becoming a legend within the Imperial Navy. From this point on Hudson was focused on proving that he was capable of becoming a Commander and after nearly a year of hard work he earned the position of Executive Officer within the Tenth Group in the First Imperial Fleet which was formed from the remnants of his past fleet during the Military Restructure. He found great fondness for the unit serving with men and women who had developed Hudson as a pilot as well as a Officer and continued as Group Executive Officer for a lengthy tenure.

-Unit Command
Content in his position as Executive Officer the tide of change soon took its toll and he was soon instated to the position of Commanding Officer and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade [O-2] becoming one of the lowest ranking Commanding Officers for his era, with one of his ambitions complete he soon knew he wanted to set the standards for all units of his class working tirelessly to ensure his group was the best and was known throughout the Empire and the Galaxy as been one of the most capable and revered units. During his time as Commanding Officer, James passed scrutinising tests and screening to work with the Department of Military Intelligence as a Military Intelligence Officer, although many of the exploits under this role are classified, James fully enjoyed this role broadening his abilities as a Navy Commander shaping who he became to this day.
-The Department of Training
As time moved on Hudson soon progressed to aid the Imperial Navy in a further capacity, assuming the role as Navy Training Officer; a newly re-instated role to ensure the ongoing development of the Imperial Navy and His Majesties Fleets. Hudson worked tirelessly creating this role and the newly created Department of Training, as a member of Navy Command the Commander ensured the ongoing development and improvement of the Imperial Navy hosting the widely renown Imperial Navy Tournament that was widely celebrated as a featured event in the Navy calendar, leaving his role in Military Intelligence as well as his now two year span as Commanding Officer of the 10th Group in the capable hands of his Executive Officer and close friend Lieutenant Junior Grade Sal Takla, he felt comfortable that his legacy would live on within his former unit whilst Hudson focused on his new full time role as Navy Training Officer as part of Navy Command.
-The Imperial Navy Tournament
One of the creations under the role of Navy Training Officer was the creation of the First Imperial Navy Tournament, a tournament hosted biannually to test the skills of pilots within the Imperial Navy. Pilots are tested and selected from each fleet to represent their fleet in their respected division within the Imperial Navy; Capital Command or Starfighter Command. The Tournament takes over a week and rotates where it is hosted annually, the first tournament being hosted in Coruscant and the First Imperial Fleet provided honor guard. The Tournament consists of 1v1 dogfights between fleet elite Capital Command and Starfighter Command pilots until the best pilot in each of the divisions is found for the Tournament, given the title of Imperial Navy Capital Command Champion and Imperial Navy Starfighter Command Champion.
-Fleet Command
Returning to his former home with great relief, the Commander took the position offered to him by the Lord Admiral to become the Fleet Commanding Officer of the 1st Imperial Fleet with great pleasure, with it being his former fleet and still many of his comrades residing within the fleet it was a very simple question for the Commander. For years the Commander looked up to great aspirational figures such as former Lord Admiral Titan and Lord Admiral Blackrain and one of his longest known mentors Rear Admiral Ranson Sharp, recalling their tenure as Fleet Commanding Officers. Determined to maintain and develop the already sterling fleet, the Commander was persistent to ensure a high level of standards as well as combat effectiveness was maintained across the Fleet, ensuring the time old fleet motto remained 'Nothing Can Stop the First!'.
