User:Former Trooper

"They will lose, these Rebels. And here is why. They fight for themselves. For their own petty desires. They fight to overturn the rightful order of things. We fight because we've already won. Because we are that rightful order. It's written in our blood and the blood of our brothers and sisters. We've spilled that blood into the dirt of every planet in the galaxy. Because we are the Empire's fist. We are stormtroopers. And you can never kill us all."

Bio

Born in a forgotten place from poor but good parents, @Former Trooper worked hard to be where he is today. He first joined the Military as a way out but in it, he found purpose, comradery, loyalty and patriotism. After serving his time he moved on into other things, he got a degree and had some other jobs before becoming the man he is today. Although far from being rich, @Former Trooper is doing well for himself, proving that no matter where you were born, there's always a way out.

Personality

"I was doomed to die in the arena, just like my father had. Just like my mother and everyone I'd ever known. Until the stormtroopers came. Until the Empire made life worth living."

―Kreel

@Former Trooper is a firm believer in law and order. He believes that criminals deserve no mercy and that there is no excuse for breaking the law. When the criminal does not fear the punishment, crime becomes a good alternative but when the punishment makes them tremble, crime becomes the last resort and even then, the criminal will think twice before committing it. Remember that without culpability, chaos reigns.

One thing Former Trooper values is Loyalty, It is one of the most respectable traits a person may have. The Rebels are a group of traitors, criminals and politicians, how can anybody trust a group like that? On the other hand, The Empire is composed of hard working men and women, loyal to the Empire and believers of law and order. People may see the Imperials as the "villains", well, I see them as the true heroes of Star Wars. Each Stormtroopers the rebels ruthlessly kill has family, daughters and wives left behind, each TIE pilot killed is a woman left without a husband, a daughter left without a father/mother. I do not like Palpatine but I fully support the Empire and what it stands for. Long Live the Empire!

Characters

Canon

1. Titan Three (Flight Baron) - The player character in Star Wars: Squadrons, we don't see much of his personality but I see him as myself so that's why he's at the top on my list. He's also a loyal Imperial and his lines are great. Thanks to him, I began respecting TIE pilots much more.
2. Havina Vonreg - That woman is incredible, I love her looks, attitude, her personality and I completely agree with her thoughts on traitors like Iden Versio, Yrica Quell and Lindon Javes, traitors that deserve no mercy, in my opinion.
3. Rella Sol - Another character from Titan Squadron like Havina. Although I disagree with her views that the Imperial Senate should be restored since I've always believed that the leader should be a Military man, not a politician, I still have a soft spot for her, perhaps due to her supporting me during missions. That woman always had my back.
4. Jeela Brebtin - A great character from the graphic novel TIE Fighter. I love her attitude, it was also nice seeing how she thinks that she does not fit anywhere and she's told she fit right in with the squad since they are all the same in Shadow Wing, volunteers who decided to fight for the Empire.
5. Terex - A former Stormtrooper so he already had some points. He's the only reason I read the Poe Dameron comics, it's great to see a former Stormtrooper actually being effective. He had a nice personality, good skills and great story. I hope to see more of him.
6. Terisa Kerrill - I like her style and personality. She was part of Titan Three's previous squadron and did not forget him when she rose in rank, calling on him to join Titan Squadron. She's a good leader and is actually successful, something rare in Star Wars stories when it comes to Imperials.
7. Rae Sloane - To me, she's the true leader of the Empire, the one who was taking it in the right direction. She founded the First Order and she saw great potential in Kerrill and Titan Three. I really hope to see more of the Titan Squadron crew
8. Malarus - She's sexy... I also love her attitude and drive, I hope to see her again, First Order characters don't get enough love and I think she has insane potential.
9. Kreel - Perhaps the most effective Stormtrooper shown in canon so far. He has skill, leadership and a great squad. I also love how he told Vader that he has no interest in becoming a Sith because he's a Trooper to the core.
10. Phasma - The character who was done the biggest disservice in the sequels. In order to appreciate her, you have to read her comics and novel. I never liked the sequels, I think they have some horrible writing and complete disregard of Star Wars lore but I do appreciate some of the characters it gave us like Captain Phasma, one my favorite canon characters.

Legends

1. Cipher Nine - My main character. I loved SWTOR when it came out and played it a lot. This was back when it was not free. My first character was of course the Imperial agent and remains to this day one of my favorite stories in all of Star Wars. It was greatly written, the companions were great and loved the romance with Kaliyo, who is another of my favorite characters in Star Wars.
2. Kaliyo Djannis- What can I say except that I love her character. One of the most interesting characters in Star Wars, I loved every interaction I had with her in SWTOR. It's rare to see characters as great as Kaliyo and Cipher Nine these days.
3. Hand of Judgment - An incredible group of Stormtroopers, they might have defected, but they remained true to the tenets of the Empire, helping many Imperials along the way.
4. Jahan Cross - An extremely unknown and underrated character. He's Star Wars' very own James Bond. He's nowhere near the level of Cipher Nine but I hope they make hi canon one day. The man has a lot of potential, you could use him for comics, shows and even movies.
5. Civé Rashon/Legends - Another incredible pilot, she has the looks, the personality, the loyalty and the skill to make it in my list. She was made canon
6. Trel Skutu - Great pilot, loyal to the Empire and hates the terrorists calling themselves "rebels". He was also made canon

Group

• Stormtrooper Corps - I love the Stormtroopers and as you may have noticed, they are one of my favorite part of Star Wars. They are the Marines of the universe and if I lived in it I would have joined them without question, just like I joined the USMC in my youth.
• TIE pilot - I never cared much for TIE Pilots until I played Star Wars: Squadrons, then started to really look at Star Wars pilots differently. Some members of Titan Squadron went to become some of my favorite characters.

Organization

• First Order - I love their style. The First Order is one of the few great things from the sequels. I think they have more potential than the Galactic Empire as long as it's led by a non-Force user like Sloane. The First Order was a Stratocracy under Sloane and that's the most effective type of Government in my opinion.
• Galactic Empire - I love their way of doing things, their effectiveness and love their uniforms. An extremely efficient Government whose biggest weakness was Palpatine, take him out and the Empire become an undefeatable force.

Race

1. Human - I'm human myself so I have to put it at the top. Whenever I get the chance to create a character like in SWTOR, I always pick human. I like to make my characters look like me as much as possible.
2. Rattataki - I did not even know about them before meeting Kaliyo Djannis. I loved their culture and I love their looks. It also helps that it's the race of my second favorite character. Their women also look great.
3. Zygerrian - I like their style, their women look great and they were one of the greatest Empires in Star Wars, that's worthy of respect.
4. Twi'lek - The eye candy of Star wars. What's not to love about this race? It has some of the most beautiful women in Star Wars and great characters like Vette and Darth Talon are part of this race.
5. Chiss - I like the way they look, I also love their society and culture. There is nothing better than a Military society.

"Take it from me, nothing motivates like betrayal. I've seen too many good pilots-friends-turn traitor. I put them out of their misery, but there's always more out there."

Perfect Star Wars Character

If I could create a Star Wars character it would be Stormtrooper, he would look like me obviously. Have him be stranded or stationed on Rattatak and fall in love with the Rattataki culture. He would train some of the locals and join the Rattataki's war against the Vollick and score some victories. At some point he would leave only to find out the Empire has been defeated. After that, he would become a Mercenary and take many jobs, specially those that can allow him to have his revenge against the rebels and their New Republic.
