As the years passed, Szardra tested for and earned certificates in a plethora of mechanical tasks, officially qualifying him to work on any manner of civilian-grade vehicle, and even a number of military-grade ones.  Once he had saved up enough capital and built up a client base that he knew would follow him, Szardra started up his own repair shop in Keren.  For the next two years, he lived well and happily, making a comfortable profit and doing work that he enjoyed thoroughly.  However, lady luck had a whim to take everything away from him, in the form of arson.  A series of fires plagued Keren, and one of the targets was Szardra's repair shop.  The entire building was lost, including all of the cash in the safe, and while he had about 25,000 credits still in his pocket, it wasn't nearly enough to reestablish his business.  Disheartened, Szardra decided it was time for a total change, and so he packed up all his belongings, said goodbye to his family, and bought a ticket to [[Coruscant]], hoping to find work and a change of pace.

During his service, Szardra Kaika organized and started a tournament for the members of his [[legion]] that is currently ongoing[[Army High Command]] funded him a cash prize of 1 million credits, which he divided into a 700,000 credit prize for the champion, and 300,000 credits for the runner-up.  Sergeant FC Kaika also himself funded an Eta-2 Actis Starfighter as an additional prize to the winner of the tournament.

Through his work in the Art Team, Szardra befriended [[Overseer]] [[David Crow]] and [[Lt Colonel]] Ralkata Tyrran, the latter likely also helped along by their former relationship as professor and student.  He has also made fast friends with a fellow member of his legion, [[Riles Cole]].

Almost 100 days later, Day 197 of Year 10 to be exact, Szardra Kaika was appointed as the Director of the Art Team, in Ralkata Tyrran's absence.  However, this new responsibility and workload proved to be pushing then-Master Sergeant Kaika to his limit.  Two days later, he resigned from his post in the Imperial Academy, citing his inability to juggle this many part-time jobs at once.  Though he did not wish to leave the Academy, he knew it was a necessary move to prevent him from burning out.

On Y10, D48, Szardra Kaika got a shock that left him slack-jawed.  Ever since he had become a mechanic, he had wanted his own ship, but not just any ship.  The A-24 Sleuth was his dream ship, one which he admired for its speed, reputable longevity, and ease of maintenance, not to mention the sleek style.  At one point on Naboo, he almost had one within his grasp, but when he got the funds for it, the starfighter had already been sold, not a week earlier.  However, that day David Crow astonished him by showing the Sergeant an A-24, and telling him that it was his.  It was no accident on David's part, as Szardra had said to many that he dreamed of owning his own Sleuth one day.  When he tried to pay David, the man refused to accept it.  Dumbfounded, Szardra managed to blurt out, "Thank you" repeatedly, while taking a long look at the ship.  Within a day, he had a name for the ship, calling it "Shatter Zero."  When asked how he arrived at that name, he would merely shrug and laugh, saying that it just hit him and sounded cool.

Shortly after passing through the exhaustive barrage of exams from the [[School of Officer and Command Studies]] and earning his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant, Szardra Kaika received a message from his parents.  Initially, they had disapproved of his enlistment with the Imperial Army, believing that such a career was, literally, a dead-end.  But news of his achievements on Bomelethain and Agrilat had reached them, alongside news that Szardra had become a successful and decorated officer of the Army.  Along with their congratulations, they sent him a gift of a C-3 Passenger Liner, stripped down of most passenger accommodations. Szardra was overjoyed at what he would refer to in the future as his personal flagship, and began tweaking it in his spare time, slaving its navigation to the IMS ''Shadow'' so that it would follow them about.  When his modifications were finally complete, the newly-promoted 1st Lieutenant Kaika christened the ship at last: the "''Gadget's Triumph''".

===Learning the Truth===
 
  
It was not long after he earned his promotion to Sergeant, that Szardra learned a terrible truth about the day his shop was burned down.  He had always been loyal to the Empire, primarily caused by feeling like he fit in very well, and it felt satisfying to be part of something so large and important.  However, his loyalty to the true cause came about when he happened across a news article about the arson in Keren.  Apparently, investigators had discovered that agents of the New Republic had started the fires, with the intention of contacting the owners of the buildings with false intelligence blaming the Empire for the fires.  The plot had apparently been to say that the Empire set the buildings on fire, and blamed them on Rebel terrorists in order to boost recruitment, however the plan backfired when stormtroopers arrested the instigators, who had been planning on setting at least two dozen more fires.  Infuriated that someone had tried to use him as a pawn, Szardra vowed that he would use all of his power to ensure that such tragedy never befell anyone else, and that the Rebels who would stoop so low as this dirty trick would be brought to justice.

Szardra Kaika was a Lieutenant Junior Grade in the Imperial Navy who was born and raised on Naboo.

Personal History

Before the Empire

Szardra Kaika was born and raised on Naboo, leading a normal life, and initially went to university in Moenia. However, he found himself increasingly restless and unhappy, which negatively affected his grades, which in turn fed the cycle. He changed his area of study multiple times, and transferred to two different universities before finally dropping out altogether at age 23. Szardra found work as a mechanic in Keren, and found himself loving his job, looking forward to each day at the shop tinkering with things.

As the years passed, Szardra tested for and earned certificates in a plethora of mechanical tasks, officially qualifying him to work on any manner of civilian-grade vehicle, and even a number of military-grade ones. Once he had saved up enough capital and built up a client base that he knew would follow him, Szardra started up his own repair shop in Keren. For the next two years, he lived well and happily, making a comfortable profit and doing work that he enjoyed thoroughly. All of this success was abruptly yanked out from under Szardra's feet, however. A series of fires plagued Keren for several months, and one of the targets was Szardra's repair shop. The entire building was lost, including all of the cash in the safe, and while he had about 25,000 credits still in his pocket, it wasn't nearly enough to reestablish his business. Disheartened, Szardra decided it was time for a total change, and so he packed up all his belongings, said goodbye to his family, and bought a ticket to Coruscant, hoping to find work and a change of pace.

After searching the various prospects available to him, he found both in signing up with the Galactic Empire. He admits later that it was something of an impulse, but one he does not regret.

Service in the Empire

Upon entering the Imperial Academy, Szardra was assigned to the class of Command Sergeant Ralkata Tyrran. Initially, his previous experience with universities made him anxious about his courses, but these worries were soon completely dispelled. Szardra performed admirably in the Academy, and graduated with honors into the Imperial Army on Y9, D329. About a month and a half later, on Y10, D13, he was double-promoted from Private First Class to Sergeant. Shortly after, having discovered a surprising knack for image and holographic work, he joined the Art Team, establishing himself for his fast and quality work in the Passport Centre of the Holonet.

With the expulsion of Mekum Campbell from the Empire, Assistant Director of the Galaxy Archives Inwe Ventidius moved up and became the new Director, and on Day 80 of Year 10, she offered Szardra the position of the new Assistant Director, which he gratefully accepted.

During his service, Szardra Kaika organized and started a tournament for the members of his legion, consisting of combat scenarios designed to test the participants' tactical abilities. Army High Command funded him a cash prize of 1 million credits, which he divided into a 700,000 credit prize for the champion, and 300,000 credits for the runner-up. Now a Sergeant First Class, Szardra also himself funded an Eta-2 Actis Starfighter as an additional prize to the winner of the tournament.

Through his work in the Art Team, Szardra befriended Overseer David Crow and Lt Colonel Ralkata Tyrran, the latter likely also helped along by their former relationship as professor and student. He has also made fast friends with a fellow member of his legion, Riles Cole.

Later on, around Day 111 of Year 10, Sergeant FC Kaika was accepted into the position of a Professor at the Imperial Academy.

Almost 100 days later, Day 197 of Year 10 to be exact, Szardra Kaika was appointed as the Director of the Art Team, in Ralkata Tyrran's absence. However, this new responsibility and workload proved to be pushing then-Master Sergeant Kaika to his limit. Two days later, he resigned from his post in the Imperial Academy, citing his inability to juggle this many part-time jobs at once. Though he did not wish to leave the Academy, he knew it was a necessary move to prevent him from burning out.

Day 257 of Year 10 saw a dramatic shift forward in Szardra's military career. Sergeant Major Sennex Crane requested and got approved a transfer request to the government, and Major General Kex appointed Szardra as the new Legion Adjutant.


Ship of Dreams

On Y10, D48, Szardra Kaika got a shock that left him slack-jawed. Ever since he had become a mechanic, he had wanted his own ship, but not just any ship. The A-24 Sleuth was his dream ship, one which he admired for its speed, reputable longevity, and ease of maintenance, not to mention the sleek style. At one point on Naboo, he almost had one within his grasp, but when he got the funds for it, the starfighter had already been sold, not a week earlier. However, that day David Crow astonished him by showing the Sergeant an A-24, and telling him that it was his. It was no accident on David's part, as Szardra had said to many that he dreamed of owning his own Sleuth one day. When he tried to pay David, the man refused to accept it. Dumbfounded, Szardra managed to blurt out, "Thank you" repeatedly, while taking a long look at the ship. Within a day, he had a name for the ship, calling it "Shatter Zero." When asked how he arrived at that name, he would merely shrug and laugh, saying that it just hit him and sounded cool.

Triumph

Shortly after passing through the exhaustive barrage of exams from the School of Officer and Command Studies and earning his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant, Szardra Kaika received a message from his parents. Initially, they had disapproved of his enlistment with the Imperial Army, believing that such a career was, literally, a dead-end. But news of his achievements on Bomelethain and Agrilat had reached them, alongside news that Szardra had become a successful and decorated officer of the Army. Along with their congratulations, they sent him a gift of a C-3 Passenger Liner, stripped down of most passenger accommodations. Szardra was overjoyed at what he would refer to in the future as his personal flagship, and began tweaking it in his spare time, slaving its navigation to the IMS Shadow so that it would follow them about. When his modifications were finally complete, the newly-promoted 1st Lieutenant Kaika christened the ship at last: the "Gadget's Triumph".
