"You can pay a soldier to fire a gun. You can pay him to charge the enemy and take a hill. But you can't pay him to believe."
-Anonymous


Julian Valendrift is an esteemed Imperial and fiercely dedicated soldier. He currently serves as a Captain is His Majesty's Army in the capacity of the executive officer of the 2nd Brigade.

Character History

Born on the planet Dakshee, a temperate planet prospering in the peace of the Galactic Empire's rule, Valendrift was instilled with great personal pride and determination at the earliest of ages by a close knit family. The middle class family prospered with the nurturing of a computer technologies company founded generations prior. Julian's interests, however, lay in the military, perfect for his self-taught skills with a blaster, natural athleticism and a sense of duty he felt expanded beyond his family. Whenever not excelling in his studies he would slip away to watch Imperial Stormtroopers march, contrary to his group of friends that found themselves vying for a seat in a cockpit. He would stay up countless nights reading the most recent events in the Galactic News, always pondering what his life would be like out of his protected system. Despite his passion for a different life, he dreaded that he would inevitably find himself in the family industry.

With the passing of their father, the Valendrift children were further pressed to resume the expansion of contacts in the Corporate Sector while their mother managed the rest of the growing business. He had indeed found a way off of Dakshee to systems he had never thought of seeing, but unlike his older brother and younger sister, Julian abhorred the often grueling processes of their industry. Though micromanaging and administration were not alien to him, it lacked the activity he so greatly desired. Refusing to participate in any more business related travels, he ignored his family's scorn and returned home. His reunion with the few old friends either reluctantly stayed or were waiting to leave was soon shattered. Weeks after his abrupt 'retirement', the planet-side starport many stars away suffered from a New Republic incursion into the system. While the attack was a failure, the damage was done. Among those killed were his dear siblings, and the effect of it was not lost on the remaining Valendrift's lightyears away.

His spent weeks in denial, eventually grieving for months, prompting Julian to provide her care. Julian made sure she was situated at home and hosted a memorial ceremony for the his siblings once it was clear their bodies could not be retrieved. In the time of recovery that followed, Madeline Valendrift returned to managing the company somewhat obsessively. It was now a shell of what it used to be; though still profitable, it became isolated to Dakshee once again. With the expression of his desire to join the Army, Julian received no harsh rebuke nor was pleaded to reconsider. Ensuring the security of her support structure before his departure, he reported to the local recruiter and found himself on a shuttle to Coruscant days later.

Imperial Service

Imperial Academy

Julian arrived at the grand Imperial Academy with budding ambition and fierce determination. Academics came second nature to him and he finished his studies and submitted his exams relatively quickly. Despite his shorter tenure in the pristine center of Imperial knowledge and growth, he had been the pupil of Draelor Nah`utal, former Commandant Krakonico Petermind and former Dean Kent Amba.

Imperial Army

Upon graduating the Imperial Academy, Julian became an enlisted trooper in the Imperial Army. Within days of his new status, he was on the battlefield as a participant in Operation Sovereign Canopy on Derra IV. Quickly becoming a non-commissioned officer, he lead hardened stormtrooper platoons through the smoke choked streets, hostile jungles and blood-soaked plains. Julian received his officer's commission shortly after the conclusion of Sovereign Canopy for his noted valor and distinguished ability to lead on the field.
