Antillies: How long have you
been with the Galactic Empire?
Mar: I have been in the GE:ER for approx. 7 years. That is
counting 1 year that I was stuck in the Academy due to major changes in the GE
and my time as a reservist.
Antillies: Why did you choose
the Empire over the Rebellion and/or other groups?
Mar: I always liked the concept of
uniformity, discipline and justice. I feel those are stronger in the Empire
than any other groups.
Antillies: What has been your
greatest joy with the Empire?
Mar: The day I found out I had won
The Outer Sectors.
Antillies: What is your
favorite Star Wars gaming platform? Why?
Mar: XWA. The feel of the joystick
when dogfighting or the alarms going off when lasers hit your shields are
incredible. There is not stronger predatory feeling than knowing you are 1 vs
98 and that you will wipe them all out.
Antillies: What is your
favorite Star Wars movie? Why?
Mar: Revenge of the Sith. I find the
whole movie intense.
Antillies: Who is your
favorite Star Wars character? Why?
Mar: Anakin Solo. Strong in the
Force, a lot of potential, he would have made a great Emperor. Too bad he
died...
Antillies: What is your
favorite Star Wars starship? Why?
Mar: The Imperial Star Destroyer. It’s
look means serious business.
Antillies: Galactic Empire
vs.Yuuzhan Vong. Who wins?
Mar: The Empire. Superiority of numbers.
Antillies:
What's it like being Scimitar Leader?
Mar: Being a Scimitar alone is an honor. Being its
Leader is a Duty that I take to heart.
Antillies:
Do you like being the Tactical Coordinator?
Mar: This is the most interesting job I ever had! (In
fiction :p ) Unfortunately for the
people who chose me, I bug them with questions all the time. I learn new stuff
every time I put on my TC hat, which is... every day.
Antillies:
What makes an ideal Imperial officer?
Mar: An individual who fixes standards very high, takes
responsibility for his actions and decisions, and is Proud of the Empire.
Antillies:
Why is the navy better than the army? (That is, if you agree. If
not, please offer an alternative view.)
Mar: You are asking this question to a Scimitar Pilot AND a Royal Guard... There is no
better Division than the other. They complete each other with perfection. One
would be nothing without the other.
Antillies:
You're ranked 2nd in the Empire for number of medals obtained. Which one
do you value most?
Mar: My [MoX-BG]. There is no better way to prove your Loyalty and Interest in the GE:ER than by Recruiting new members.
Antillies:
Any advice for newly commissioned ensigns?
Mar: There is much more in the GE:ER than meets the eye.
But the responsibility to find all the interesting stuff is yours. Don’t wait
for things to happen, but take initiatives. And make the GE:ER the Best Online
Gaming Club to be part of.
Antillies:
Ewoks: good, bad, or ugly?
Mar: All of them. They taste good, they got a bad temper
and they make an ugly mess when they explode.
Antillies:
Do you have any future plans for the Empire or for yourself in the
Empire? If so, what?
Mar: My goal for the moment is to grow our Combat
Chamber. I would like the GE:ER to be a reference for other clubs in that
matter. Not only for its number of missions but for its variety and quality.
