SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF CHILDHOOD & ADOLESCENCE: His childhood on Corellia was as perfect as a child could wish. His parents were not rich but they did everything for their children. So nothing of great importance happened during that period, until his parents were butally killed. As stated above, Syrtaras‘ whole family was killed during a rebel attack when he was fourteen. The rebels attacked the transport on which they were travelling to Coruscant to celebrate the XXth *) anniversary of the New Order. Syrtaras did not go with them because he was on a journey with his fellow students in the Mid-rim. Syrtaras never forgave the rebels. He liked the Empire and had dreamt about flying for the glorious Imperial Navy, but that day he swore that he would once join the Empire to fight against those terrorists. After this incident he was adopted by a retired Imperial officer who was a friend of the family. After Syrtaras had heard about the battle of Endor two years after the murder, he lost his hope that he could ever avenge his family.
In the following 2 1/2 years he completed school with remarkable success, but he and his adoptive father fled to Imperial contolled space. During that time Syrtaras in addition to his studies also worked for various companies (see: Former Occupations) to earn some money.
After completing school it at the age of eighteen he joined the Imperial Navy, or rather what had been left of it, and he went to the Academy. During his four years as a cadet he saw the Empire getting smaller and smaller. The day Grand Admiral Thrawn returned was one of the happiest days in his life, but he went as far away from the self proclaimed New Republic’s influence as he could and for this reason he did not notice the effects of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s campaign.
When one of his jobs took him to the deep core he heard about the unbelievable: the Emperor had somehow returned and a new Grand Admiral, GA Daemon had been charged with the command over the Imperial Forces. There it was: the chance to serve the glorious Empire and (in the context with the Empires overall strategy) to repay the rebels for the death of his family.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF ADULTHOOD: After completing school it at the age of eighteen he joined the Imperial Navy, or rather what had been left of it, and he went to the Academy. During his four years as a cadet he saw the Empire getting smaller and smaller, rise under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn and fall again after his death. Shortly after he completed the academy (he was the second best in his class) he heard about the unbelievable: the Emperor had somehow returned and a new Grand Admiral, Daemon, had been charged with the command over the Imperial Forces. There it was: the chance to get his first duty assignment and (in the context with the Empires overall strategy) to repay the rebels for the death of his family.
After sending an application to High Command he had gone unnoticed at first, because <CLASSIFIED>. His wish to get transferred to Grand Admiral Daemon’s forces however was so strong that he contacted an Imperial Captain via official channels and soon after that he received his recruitment papers from the Grand Admiral. He was given the rank of an Ensign and stationed on the VSD Vigilant in the second flight of Epsilon squadron.
Sub-Lieutenant Syrtaras is a hard working officer who is almost daily trying to keep track of political and strategical developements. After taking on any efforts he soon met other (mostly higher-ranking) officers and even had the honor to meet Grand Admiral Daemon himself. Though low in rank he never felt that he was treated arrogantly and, in contrast to the traitorous rebel propaganda, stating his own opinion and ideas were highly encouraged. Sharing the Grand Admirals opinion that it is efficiency that makes the Empire superior to the rebels he respectfully suggested that the flow of information from superior to subordinate should be increased and accelerated.
His abililities as a pilot are above average. He completed the first part of the Imperial Combat Simulations with the currently best result. He also designed a training mission himself proving that he is a promising young tactician, although he still has to learn much in this field, especially about the use of capital ships in a battle.
His current task has to do with public relation for he is about opening an office in which young people from all over the Empire, and everyone else interested, can inform themselves what it is like in an imperial starfighter squadron (here: Epsilon Squadron), who we are and what career opportunities will await those willing to join the Empire.
TRANSLATION INTO REAL LIFE ONLINE TERMS: Via Internet I once searched some informations about the Empire for I am as imperial as one could be (some of my friends already said I was insane). Well, I found the GE Main Holonet Site and I was absolutely happy. I could not only read about the Empire or watch the films, I could be a part of it! I immediately sent an application to GA Daemon, but I got no answer. After stating on the msg. board that I was a bit disappointed I got the message from CP Starbug that the GA didn’t feel well. I decided to wait a bit longer and after another period of excited waiting, I finally was a GE member. I am currently checking the message board almost daily and I also got AIM, mIRC and the stuff necessary for the zone. I had very good conversations with many officers including the Grand Admiral. I stated that e-mails could be answered more quickly and more frequently (p.e.:simply an affirmative that the mail was received would sometimes make me very happy).
I also flew the GES001-M and the result places me on the first place. Concerning mission designing: I sent a mission to the GA, but I have not got an answer yet. I have to admit that the mission was not that perfect for it was the first one (I hope the GA didn’t get a headache from it).
I have created an Epsilon squadron site and I hope it fits the high standards of all the other squadron sites. At present I am writing a story about the GE as a whole (esp. about GA Daemon, CL Calorn, CP Stele and CP Starbug) but it is far from completed.
