History

Early life

Radu Cosmin Udarum entered the galaxy at a time of tumultuous change, born on the illustrious world of Coruscant during the declining days of the Galactic Republic. His formative years were shaped by the disarray and political instability that marked the transition from the Republic to the Galactic Empire. Growing up in the lower levels of Coruscant, Radu witnessed firsthand the chaos and inefficiency of the Republic's governance. His family, humble individuals trying to eke out a living in the bustling metropolis, faced the challenges of poverty and societal disparity. These early experiences left an indelible mark on young Radu, instilling in him a yearning for stability and order in the galaxy. As the Republic crumbled under the weight of corruption and bureaucratic inefficiency, Radu's disillusionment with the existing system grew. He became acutely aware of the rising tensions and political strife plaguing Coruscant and the galaxy at large. Amidst this turmoil, the charismatic promises of a unified and disciplined Galactic Empire resonated deeply with him. Fascinated by the Empire's vision of restoring law and order, Radu immersed himself in studying the history of the Republic's downfall and the rise of the Empire. He was drawn to the ideals of Emperor Drayson, believing fervently that only through a strong, centralized authority could the galaxy find stability and progress.

Despite the challenges of his upbringing, Radu was a diligent student, fueled by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to understand the intricacies of governance and power. His studies led him to embrace the principles of the New Order, admiring the Imperial regime's ability to bring discipline and structure to a galaxy torn by chaos. As he grew older, Radu became an avid supporter of the Empire, advocating for its ideals and principles among his peers and community. He was particularly vocal about the need for a robust and organized government, firmly believing that the Galactic Empire was the beacon of hope for a better future. His passion for the Empire's cause led Radu to participate in local discussions and debates, defending the Empire's policies and reforms. His persuasive rhetoric and unwavering dedication to the ideals of the Empire earned him respect and recognition among those who shared his vision. As the Empire began to take shape, Radu Cosmin Udarum emerged as a fervent supporter and advocate, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the principles of the New Order and standing as a staunch believer in the Galactic Empire's vision for a better galaxy.

Under the watchful eye of Training Officer Thokul Tovcor, renowned for his dedication to molding loyal and efficient Imperial officers, Radu's commitment to the Empire deepened. The academy provided Radu with a comprehensive education that transcended mere military training. Here, he delved into the intricacies of governance, law, and regional administration within the framework of the Empire.

Under Officer Tovcor's guidance, Radu excelled in his studies, showcasing an exceptional understanding of political strategy, regional management, and diplomatic protocols.

Despite the academy's primary focus on military training, Radu Cosmin Udarum saw an opportunity to carve a different path within the Empire. While he respected the might and efficiency of the Imperial military, his aspirations lay in the administrative corridors of regional governance.

His decision to pursue a career in regional government surprised many of his peers who were more inclined towards military advancement. However, Radu's unwavering conviction in the importance of efficient governance and his belief that stability was not solely achieved through military might but also through prudent administration fueled his determination. Throughout his time at the academy, Radu immersed himself in the study of Imperial policies, regional management, and the intricacies of governing diverse systems within the Empire. He engaged in rigorous debates on the role of governance in maintaining Imperial control, advocating for the strategic allocation of resources and the fair implementation of policies to ensure societal cohesion and loyalty to the Empire. Radu's decision to chart a course towards regional governance was met with skepticism by some, but he remained resolute. He sought to create change from within the corridors of power, believing that effective governance would fortify the Empire's foundations and contribute to its enduring stability and prosperity. Upon graduation from the Imperial Academy on Prakith, Radu Cosmin Udarum, armed with a deep understanding of Imperial governance and a fervent dedication to the principles of the New Order, embarked on a career that aimed not only to serve the Empire but also to shape its future through adept and astute regional administration.

Regional Government

Joining the Regional Government of the Galactic Empire, Radu Cosmin Udarum was assigned to serve within the administrative sector of the Corporate Sector, a sprawling area encompassing numerous systems and corporations vital to the Empire's economic interests. As he commenced his duties, Radu's fervor for efficient governance and his dedication to upholding the Empire's ideals remained undiminished. His initial days within the Corporate Sector's regional administration were met with challenges and opportunities. Guided by his vision for effective governance, Radu swiftly familiarized himself with the intricacies of managing the region's resources, overseeing infrastructure development, and ensuring compliance with Imperial directives.

It was during this time that Radu first encountered his superior, Governor Walter Watts, a shrewd and seasoned bureaucrat tasked with overseeing the Corporate Sector's administration. Governor Watts immediately recognized Radu's potential and his unyielding commitment to efficient governance. Under Watts' tutelage, Radu honed his administrative skills, learning the intricacies of managing the Corporate Sector's diverse systems and navigating the delicate balance between corporate interests and Imperial authority. As Radu delved deeper into his duties, he found himself drawn into the orbit of Grand Moff Mordus Nordstroem, a figure of immense influence within the Empire's bureaucratic hierarchy. Nordstroem, known for his calculated strategies and unwavering loyalty to the Emperor, took notice of Radu's diligent approach and dedication to governance. Their interactions were brief but impactful, as Nordstroem recognized Radu's potential as a future leader within the Imperial administrative echelons.

Amidst the responsibilities and protocols of the Corporate Sector, Radu forged an unexpected yet invaluable friendship with Arthur Smith, a fellow administrator whose pragmatic approach to governance and keen insight into economic policies resonated deeply with Radu's own aspirations. Their camaraderie grew through shared discussions on administrative efficiency, economic reforms, and the responsibility of governance in shaping the Empire's stability. Smith's congenial nature and his ability to navigate the intricate web of corporate interests within the region complemented Radu's strategic thinking and dedication to upholding Imperial principles. Together, they formed a formidable team within the administrative corridors, advocating for policies that sought to optimize productivity while ensuring the region's allegiance to the Empire. As Radu Cosmin Udarum's tenure within the Corporate Sector progressed, his alliance with Governor Watts, interactions with Grand Moff Nordstroem, and the unwavering friendship with Arthur Smith solidified his position as a rising star within the Galactic Empire's regional governance. His commitment to efficient administration and his unwavering loyalty to the Empire's cause laid the foundation for a promising future within the bureaucratic machinery of the Imperial hierarchy.

The Dragon Incident

As Radu arrived in the Amber Region, he was immediately assigned 24 elite stormtroopers as his personal guards. Over time, a bond of trust and camaraderie grew between Radu and his dedicated troop. They became more than just guards; they were comrades-in-arms, sharing in the challenges and victories of their duties within the region.

One fateful day, while on a routine patrol, their unit encountered an unexpected threat: a massive krayt dragon, a legendary and fearsome creature known for its ferocity. Despite their training and resolve, the creature's ambush caught them off guard, leading to a chaotic skirmish.

The stormtroopers, fighting valiantly to protect Radu, engaged the beast in a desperate struggle. However, the krayt dragon's strength and savagery proved overwhelming. In the midst of the battle, tragedy struck. Thirteen of Radu's loyal stormtroopers fell to the relentless onslaught of the creature, succumbing to its immense power.

Witnessing the loss of his comrades, Radu was overcome with grief and remorse. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily upon him as the leader of the unit. He felt a profound sense of failure and guilt, questioning whether there was more he could have done to prevent the tragedy. The loss of his trusted companions deeply affected him, shattering his confidence and leaving a lingering sense of sorrow and self-doubt.

The incident changed Radu in profound ways. The once resolute and confident leader was now plagued by a haunting sense of responsibility for the lives lost under his command. The tragedy served as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of their service within the Empire and the sacrifices made in the line of duty.

From that day forward, Radu carried the weight of the loss with him, his demeanor more somber and introspective. He became more cautious and vigilant, bearing the memory of his fallen comrades as a constant reminder of the fragility of life and the harshness of their missions. The experience hardened his resolve to better protect those under his command and to honor the sacrifice of his fallen stormtroopers by striving to be a more vigilant and capable leader within the Empire's ranks

A change in leadership

As the tenure of Governor Walter Watts in the Corporate Oversector drew to a close, anticipation rippled through the administrative corridors of power. Radu Cosmin Udarum, having forged a strong professional relationship with Governor Watts, felt a mix of nostalgia and anticipation at the prospect of change. Watts had been a mentor and ally, guiding Radu through the complexities of regional governance and administration.

The day of Governor Watts' departure was marked by a solemn ceremony, attended by high-ranking officials and dignitaries from across the Corporate Oversector. Radu stood among them, observing with a mixture of respect and gratitude as Watts delivered his farewell address, reflecting on his years of service to the Regional Government.

As Watts stepped down, there was a palpable sense of transition in the air. The torch was passed to Arthur Smith, Radu's trusted friend and confidant. Radu's heart swelled with pride as he witnessed Arthur ascending to the position of Governor, a testament to his friend's dedication and capabilities.

The transition ceremony was a scene of significance and symbolism, as Arthur Smith assumed the mantle of leadership. Radu stood by his side, offering his support and congratulations, feeling a surge of pride at seeing his friend elevated to such a prestigious position.

In that moment, Radu couldn't help but reflect on their journey together—from their humble beginnings within the bureaucracy to this pivotal moment of transition and change. He felt a sense of optimism for the future, knowing that with Arthur at the helm, the Corporate Oversector would be in capable hands.

As he watched his friend deliver his inaugural address, outlining his vision for the future of the Corporate Oversector, Radu felt a renewed sense of purpose. The bonds of friendship and camaraderie that had been forged through trials and triumphs strengthened his resolve to continue serving the Empire with dedication and loyalty.

In Arthur's promotion, Radu saw not only a testament to his friend's abilities but also a reminder of the opportunities that lay ahead. Together, they would navigate the challenges and opportunities of governance, working towards a shared vision of progress and prosperity within the Empire's domains.

Procurator of Kestel System

The Kestel System was a strategic asset within the Amber Region of the Galactic Empire, and with Radu Cosmin Udarum’s elevation to Procurator, a new chapter of Imperial dominance over this system would begin. Known for his loyalty to the Empire and his meticulous governance, Radu’s promotion marked both a personal achievement and a crucial political move for the Imperial administration. The ceremony, steeped in formality and symbolism, took place on Kestel, the capital planet of the system.

The promotion ceremony was held in the Grand Rotunda of the Imperial Citadel, an imposing structure that towered over Kestel's capital city. The building was designed to project Imperial strength, its dark metallic spires reaching into the sky, reflecting the cold determination of the Empire. Hundreds of high-ranking officials from both the Corporate Oversector and the Amber Region gathered to witness the event. Among them were Arthur Smith, Governor of the Corporate Oversector, and Grand Moff Mordus Nordstroem, the authoritative figure who presided over the Amber Region.

The ceremony began with the arrival of Radu, flanked by stormtroopers in full ceremonial armor. He wore a black uniform adorned with the insignia of the Galactic Empire, his demeanor as stoic as ever. As he ascended the steps to the podium, the crowd of Imperial dignitaries and military officers stood in respectful silence.

Governor Arthur Smith gave the opening speech, praising Radu’s service to the Empire, recounting his role in the annexation of the Cadomai system, and emphasizing his commitment to Imperial order. "The Kestel System," Arthur declared, "is entrusted to one who embodies the ideals of the Empire. Radu Cosmin Udarum’s loyalty and strategic mind have proven time and time again that he is the right choice to lead Kestel."

Following Arthur’s remarks, Grand Moff Mordus Nordstroem took the stage. His towering presence and commanding voice filled the chamber. He bestowed upon Radu the title of Procurator, officially granting him authority over the Kestel System. The Procurator insignia—a gleaming, silver crest inlaid with the Imperial emblem—was pinned to Radu’s chest.

"Radu Cosmin Udarum," the Grand Moff declared, "you are now the Procurator of Kestel. In your hands lies the future of this vital system. Rule it with the iron fist of the Empire, ensure its prosperity, and stamp out any hint of rebellion. Kestel will become a shining example of what Imperial governance can achieve."

Radu, maintaining his composed expression, took an oath of loyalty to the Empire and its leaders. As he did, the gathered crowd applauded, signaling the beginning of his reign as Procurator.

With his new title, Radu was given the Palace of Dusk, the official residence of the Procurator, located on the outskirts of the capital city. The Palace was a massive fortress-like structure, both an administrative hub and a symbol of Imperial power on Kestel. The building itself was a masterpiece of Imperial architecture, designed to convey dominance. Its angular towers, made of dark stone and metal, were adorned with glowing Imperial banners that flew high above the surrounding landscape.

The interior of the Palace of Dusk was no less impressive. The grand entrance hall was lined with statues of past Imperial heroes and decorated with massive red banners bearing the Imperial emblem. Black marble floors gleamed under the light of chandeliers that seemed to float above. A sense of cold, calculated order filled the air—this was not a place for luxury, but for command.

Radu’s private quarters were located in the central spire, offering a panoramic view of the city below. The room itself was minimalist, furnished with only the essentials—a large desk, a holocommunicator, and a single window that overlooked the sprawling capital. This was a room designed for contemplation and decision-making, not for comfort.

The Procurator's Office, located within the Palace of Dusk, was where Radu would conduct the majority of his official duties. It was a vast, circular room with a central holoprojector that could display holographic maps of the entire Kestel System. The walls were lined with data terminals, constantly streaming information about Kestel’s economic and military status.

At the far end of the room stood Radu’s desk—a sleek, black durasteel structure that seemed to absorb the light around it. Behind the desk was the Proconsul's personal crest, newly forged and displayed on the wall, a reminder of his authority over the system. On either side of the office were two smaller doors—one led to a secure conference room, while the other connected to Radu’s private quarters.

The office was designed to project absolute control, but it also allowed for swift access to crucial information. Every decision that would shape the future of Kestel, from economic development to military strategy, would be made here. Radu, with his analytical mind and firm grasp of politics, had the tools to maintain the system's prosperity and keep any dissenting elements in check.

As Radu stood in his new office after the ceremony, looking out over the vast city of the capital city of Kestel, he felt a deep sense of responsibility. The Kestel System was now his to govern, and he knew that failure was not an option. The weight of the Empire rested on his shoulders, and every decision he made would affect not just the planet, but the wider region. He had earned his position through loyalty, strategy, and discipline, but now came the true test of leadership.

Though the ceremony was a formality, it marked a turning point in Radu’s career. He was no longer just a magistrate or administrator—he was the Procurator of Kestel, with absolute authority over an entire system. As he stared into the distance he understood that this was not just an honor—it was his duty to enforce Imperial law, protect the interests of the Empire, and crush any resistance that might rise within his domain.

Kestel was now a part of him, and he, in turn, would become a part of its history.
