I played an ex-career Imperial Naval Officer, a man who really really believed in the Empire and who slowly saw his dreams of it crushed in front of him, as inferior cronies passed over him for political reasons and the Bureacrats became not less but more corrupt as time passed.  The longer he fought the rebels, the more he admired their bravery, their tenacity, thier honor, thier tactical creativity, and all the things he saw fading in his beloved empire.  Finally, as a bitter old man, he had the misfortune (or maybe luck) of being in command of a corvette class picket ship that was overran by two full squadrons of X-Wings.  He was going to go down with the ship, but a junior officer of good character, a boy really like a son to him, slugged him and put him in a life boat.  Afterwards, he was discharged dishonorably from the service, being blamed for the lose of the ship.  The younger officer talked him into joining the Rebels, but was killed by ImpSec when they tried to make thier first contact.  The old man was the party spokesmen and had a tendency to be patronizing to younger party members, always assumed he was in command whether he was or not, and had the annoying tendency to become highly insulted and launch into angry speaches if you dare say anything evil about the Emperor. ("He's a good man, a spiritual man, but you got to understand, he's become a bit of an aesthetic.  He is so good hearted and trusting that he can't imagine just how bad it has gotten outside the walls of his palace.  All of these years of bloodshed lay heavy on his heart; his advisors fill his ears with lies.  Our real fight is with the Bureacracy!") <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> *sigh*WEG's SW was great.</blockquote>
