Star Wars: Heir Of The Empire

Prologue

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

You are Cadet (Y/N), you were abandoned by your parents on Shu-Torun. After 14 years training in the Jedi Temple on Endor who took you in, after 14 years of a duty wich wasn't of your choosing, after order 66, after you left that doomed order you so hated you returned to Shu-Torun and enlisted in the Imperial academy and was transfered to Coruscant.

As I left the boarding ramp of the Imperial shuttle I Marveled at the sight of Coruscant and the acadmey. I made sure my lightsaber was hidden within my cadet jacket. Coruscant was very different. Even though I was a Jedi I never went to Coruscant as my training took place on one of the remote temples. Then I turned around and saw another cadet behind me. He said "(F/N) (L/N), right?" Then I acknowledged him and then he went on to say: "I'm Hal Tracer" "And you are talking to me now because..." I said. "Because its a dog-eat-dog world out there and I know no-one here, I think it would do you good for us to have each others back." "I will take your offer into consideration Hal". Then an announcement went through the speakers of the hanger where the shuttle landed: "All new arrivals to the assembly hall" Then I headed through the polished blast doors.

"Attention cadets! I am commandant Deenlark. I will be overseeing your training for the next year. I expect your ability and your obedience. To the future of the Empire!" Hal, I and 10 other cadets saluted although the rest of the 100 cadets did not.

Later the Commandant assigned me to my room which I will be sharing with Hal Tracer. "Alright Hal" I said "I will take you up on your offer. Since we will be living in the same room together." "Nice!" He exclaimed. Then I looked at a data pad which displayed our upcoming lessons. "Whats our first lesson, (F/N)?" Hal said. "Fleet tactics" I replied. "Pffft, boring". "I see you don't find satisfaction in commanding massive warships". "No" he said "I prefer to be on the ground, commanding Stormtroopers, you like the Navy?". "I prefer the Imperial government, I like the yellow squares on the rank plaque and the power over others." I told him. I then told him "If we are to thrive in this academy we need to understand the political and social terrain we learn on". "I get you, I'll get to work 'Commander'" he said with a smile, and I smiled back as he left the room. I then proceeded to take my lightsaber and place it within a lockbox as I determined that it would still be of use.

After the lesson on fleet tactics me and Hal met up in the mess hall on a table. I was eating some cooked alien fish and chips while he was devouring a steak. "You were pretty good in fleet tactics, I think you made a good impression on the captain instructing us" Hal said. Once we finished our meal we were approached by 2 other cadets. "Having fun smarty." one said. "Watch your tone!" Hal snapped. "Easy. I assume you are hear to bother us as you cannot be bothered to do anything useful, this Empire has no use for slackers!" "He's right you know" I turned around and saw commandant Deenlark. "Commandant" I said and me and Hal saluted as the two cadets ran away "I noticed your progress during fleet tactics, keep up the good work." He then went away. "Hal, who were those Cadets?" "One of them was Spense Orbar, son of the senator for Coruscant"

After their encounter they returned to their quarters. "All things seem to be going well" Hal said. "It would seem so" I replied. Then there was a nock on the door. "Who is it?" Hal shouted "Gallar Rayce!" The person said. "Who?" I asked. Hal said the he was one of the people who he talked with about the social climate of the royal academy. "Gallar this is (F/N)" Hal stated. We then shook hands and he and Tracer sat on the bottom bunk while I sat in my chair. "ISB reports state that Cadet Spense Orbar has committed multiple hostilities against other cadets but has remained unpunished." Gallar reported. "I suspect that is because of his ties to the Imperial government" I speculated. "We will have to stay clear of him" said Hal. "For now, until they step over the line" I said synically. "I conquer" said Gallar who then left.

A couple of hours passed and I was lying in my top bunk. Then a figure wearing a cloak entered my room. I stretched out to the force and moved an item of the crate in our room, which drooped to the floor with a smash. The cloaked figure ran away. I quickly determined that it was Spense Orbar. I didn't decide to report it though as I had no proof.

The Next day I got put of bed to find a holo-message for me. It wanted me to report to the Commandant's office as soon as possible. When I got there Deenlark was at his desk. "Ah, cadet (L/N)" He said. "Sir" I said as I saluted. "As you know Empire Day is approaching and I want you to represent the royal academy by attending Royal Ball at the Emperor's Palace." I was shocked. "I just want you discuss with me who you will be taking with you." In no time at all I blurted out "Cadets Hal Tracer and Gallar Rayce Sir!" "Very well, carry on cadet!" I saluted and headed for the mess hall. "Where have you been hiding (F/N)?" said Hal as I sat down. "I hope you know how to dance as next week we will be attending the Royal Ball"
