Significant Events of Childhood and Adolescence: When I was 14 years old I lived on the Platform Sandrock. The platform Sandrock was in the Fedie system, which is in the Atrivis sector. The platform was controlled by Empire. My father worked in the processing rooms for the Tibanna gas. Tibanna gas is what is used for the lasers. My family was not an official part of the Empire, and my family was getting sick of the Empire. They were thinking of defecting over to the Rebels. The platform was in the Outer Rim, and so it had only one squadron of TIE Fighters to protect it.
The Rebels had never had anything to do with this platform. It was not in a important area for the Rebels and it was the only part of the Empire that was in that sector. My family knew that the Rebels would attack someday, but they didn’t know when. When the Rebels finally attacked they did it with 6 X-Wings and 6 Y-Wings. The X-Wings where from Red squadron and the Y-wings were from Gold squadron. The TIE Fighters that were defending the platform didn’t put up much of a fight and the guns on the platform were Turbolasers, so they did not do much good against the small fighters that the Rebels used.
The Rebels were using Proton Torpedoes. And so they took out the shields quickly. The first salvo of Torpedoes that made it through the shields hit where my father was working. The processing rooms were not well defended and so my father was killed. The second salvo hit my home and my mother was also killed.
The parts of the second salvo hit my school, Naperville North High School. Everyone in the school was killed except for my bestfriend Coulson, my girlfriend Wynn, and me.
We were all in the same classroom when the torpedoes hit the platform. When we got out of the rubble we all ran to the hangar. The platform was falling apart around us as we ran. When we got to the hangar we looked for a ship to fly in. I was a good pilot in small transports and fighters. We saw a transport in the center of the hangar and went to see if I could fly it. It was a Stormtrooper Transport, and that was one of my best ships to fly. But it was modified just to transport cargo and so it only had two seats. Coulson was also a good pilot but he didn’t know how to enter hyperspace. I quickly showed Coulson how to engage the hyperdrive. I then told Coulson and Wynn to get in the transport and to enter hyperspace as soon at they left the platform. Then I looked for another ship to fly in. I saw an old TIE Interceptor that was parked in the far corner of the hanger. The TIE Interceptor looked like it was modified. I went over to it. I had been right about it being modified; it had shields as well as a hyperdrive on board. The ship must have been the personal fighter of the captain. It looked like it was in bad shape and needed repair. I went in to the cockpit of the TIE and checked to see if it would fly. Thankfully it would. But its hyperdrive was not functioning and the shields where at only half strength.
My friends finally left the platform. And as soon as they got out, there was an X-Wing right in front of them. The X-Wing was the only rebel fighter that our TIEs had damaged. Coulson fired his lasers at the X-Wing and destroyed it. Then they entered hyperspace, and in the blink of an eye they were gone.
Now that my friends where safe I had to get my self out of the platform. I looked for another transport but there were none to be found. So I decided to board the TIE Interceptor. I started the ship and left the platform. And was immediately attacked there by X-Wing. I jammed on the throttle and shot away form the fighter. I looked behind me and saw all 5 X-Wings on my tale. I tried to think of my options. The two options that I could think of were to run away from them or to attack them. I decided to attack the enemy. This was because the hyperdrive on my fighter was out and the Rebels had killed everyone that I knew. So I turned around and prepared to attack them. The first fighter that I destroyed was X-Wing that attacked me when I got out of the platform. I put a quad fire burst of lasers in to another ship and it was dead in an instant. “3 down and 3 to go” was in my mind at that point and I realized that I might not die after all. The pilots that were left were getting better, the first ones that I killed were probably rookies on their first mission. I then got an X-Wing on my six and I started to jink around so I did not get hit. I did not like the idea of space being my grave. A second X-Wing came on my tail and started to fire at me. And the third fighter set himself up for a head on attack. When the fighter that was heading at me was close, I pulled up. That X-Wing and the X-Wing right behind me hit each other and exploded in a huge fireball. The last X-Wing backed off and the Y-wings came in to try and kill me.
The 6 Y-Wings where not very good pilots. The first one that attacked me fired its ion cannons at me. He must have wanted to capture me. He also must have been a new pilot, because he did not know that the ion cannon are slower then laser cannon. I was getting sick of this fighter and so I went as fast away form him as I. I then turned around and went for a head on attack on the fighter. This maneuver is a very dangerous and it is commonly called a suicide maneuver. The pilot thought that his shields would guarantee that he would win, so he did not maneuver at all. (Shows how much he knew). I fired at him and he did the same at me. He got one or two laser hits on me before he was destroyed. I was very lucky that that pilot was a moron. But if I could win on a head on attack from a Y-Wing, then I did not thing think that the others would be a problem. The next Y-Wing made the big mistake of slowing down right in front of me. Three quad laser bursts took care of that fighter and the as well as the pilot. The Y-Wings pilots where not getting any better. The X-Wing that was left was attacking the platform, but it wasn’t doing much damage with its lasers alone. The third Y-Wing was tight on my back. I pulled a fast turn, and braked at the same time and came up on the tail of the fighter. Then I fired 4 linked shots in to the hull of the fighter. Right before the fighter exploded I saw the pilot eject out of the fighter. I instantly pulled up on the stick and fired a quad fire shot that killed the pilot. I did not want any of the pilot to live another day. With half of the Y-Wings gone, I was at least a little bit less tense. The next Y-Wing lined up for a Proton Torpedo launch. I then flew next the another Y-Wing and. When the torpedo was about half a klick out I ducked behind the Y-Wing that I was flying next to. The torpedo went towards me, but because I was behind the Y-Wing, the torpedo hit it instead of me. One of the fighter’s engines flew out and hit the fighter that had fired the weapon. The last Y-Wing tried to hyperspace out of the area. He was to far away to hit him with lasers so I looked to see if I had any Concussion Missiles on board. I had 2 of them, and so I went for the lock on the fighter. When I had the lock, I fired. The missiles sped toward the fighter, and impacted with a huge explosion that instantly destroyed the fighter and even rocked my ship at 1 KM away. (The only way the explosion could have been this big was if the fighter had a full lode of torpedoes left).
The last fighter that I had to fight was an X-Wing. That I had not died by now was baffling me. I knew that I was a good pilot but I had no idea that I was this good. This last fighter was an ace. He must have been the leader of the attack group. He got on my tail and I could not shake him. By now my shields where all most gone, I did not dare to slow down enough to let them recharge. The X-Wing hit me with a duel shot of scarlet laser fire that rocked my whole ship and destroyed my sensors. I now had to rely on my eyes to find him. I thought that it would be a waste to have made it this far and then die when there was just one fighter left. When out of nowhere, there were lasers hitting the X-Wing from the side. I jammed the breaks on my fighter and stopped. The X-Wing shot above me. I pulled up on the stick and fired 3 quad bursts of bright green laser fire that hit and immediately punched through the shields and hit the hull of the fighter. The X-Wing exploded in a giant fireball that no won could have survived. After the explosion there where no signs of the fighter or the pilot. When I looked for the ship that saved my live I saw the Stormtrooper Transport named Corsair-1, and I realized that it was my friends.
After we went back to the platform we talked about what we should do now that the platform was almost destroyed and everyone that we knew was dead. First we decided to go to the nearest planet. We went to the planet Fedie. When we got to the planet we talked and Coulson decided to start a transport business. Then I proposed to Wynn, and she said yes. We all decided to move to Corellia. It was at Corellia that I found about the Emperors Hammer Task force. When I joined up it I found out that I was very strong in the force. This explained why I had been able to defeat the Rebels that attacked my platform. I asked my commander if we could destroy the Rebel base that had attacked my home. He said yes and sent in Nu squadron in to take out the base. I was lucky to be part of this attack group. After I was done with my training I decided to join Nu squadron.
Coulson has now decided to join the EH to take revenge for the death of his family and friends.

Personal View of the Empire and EH: I love the Empire and the EH. Any one who wants to kill the Rebels is my friend. Someone has to be in charge, so why not let it be the Empire? They do such a good job at it. The Rebels will just have to learn to deal with it.
