Captain Esh Igneus Esh is a Captain in the Imperial Navy. He last served as the Executive Officer of the 1st Imperial Legion. He also served as the Executive Officer of the 2nd Imperial Legion, leader and Chief Executive Officer of Myorzo Weapon Systems (a nationalized faction), Chief of Staff of the 5th Imperial Fleet, and Commanding Officer and Executive Officer of the 4th Imperial Fleet. "Ig", as he is called by his friends, was born in planet Kuan, on system Taroon, 28 years ago, and together with his family moved to the Corellian system when he was a kid. Son of Petrus and Sarah Esh, he also has a younger brother and sister. Biography Before birth Leaving all her wealth and status, Sarah von Fanel married Petrus Esh on Coruscant two years before Igneus was born. Petrus was a simple middle class worker, but very charismatic. This conjunction of things attracted Sarah, that by no means was a common noble. Sarah finished her studies, a degree in Xenobiology, in Coruscant University and started working as a teacher in that university after some months. The Clone Wars damaged the Republic economy and the scars of war were felt also in important planets of the Inner Rim and the Core, even in Coruscant. As a consequence of the grave crisis Petrus lost his job, leaving Sarah as the only sustenance of the couple. Her family would help the couple, but Sarah rejected the help. She had left the nobility forever, and her stubbornness wouldn't let her return for money. Months after Petrus became unemployed, they realized Sarah was pregnant. Knowing that her salary could be enough for the couple, but won't be enough for the incoming child, they looked for solutions. Advertisements at that time spoke about new settlements in the Outer Rim. "Come to the New World, get a New Life. Come to the Outer Rim.", said one of them. The Esh family joined one of the programs to populate the Outer Rim worlds, becoming colonists in Kuan, a remote world in the Taroon system. The Republic gave a considerable amount of dataries to the colonists, which helped them build their new home and start a new life, as the advertisements said. Petrus learned about construction and mining, knowledge he would later transfer to his son, and founded a building company with some associates. Sarah was the only person with university degree in the planet, what made her the most important professor. The couple lived happily the first six months. The barren planet Kuan was indeed a paradise for them, and made them forget the last awful times they spent on Coruscant and the horrors of the Clone Wars. (more...)
