From the (very tiny) desk of andr3

After the squadron's vacation on Bethselamin its commander did not really feel like going back to work. Furry ears of what must have been a stuffed animal peaked out of LC andr3's backpack as it left its office aboard the Warrior. Under its arm it was carrying a dry plant which had but a single green leaf left. It was the plant it had stolen two tours earlier from ISDII Hammer's cantina.

Introducing...

LT Oudik-Delta-4

Oudik-Delta-4 was born Varnex Alsimon, son to a stormtrooper in the Coruscant planetary garrison and an Imperial Security Officer, Varnex learned from a young age the importance of service and the glory of the Galactic Empire, who provided safety, security, and stability in a cruel and unjust universe. The Alsimon line had a history of service stretching all the way back to the Galactic Republic, serving anywhere they were called. As he ascended through the levels of the Imperial Academy, Varnex had developed an unending hunger for knowledge, and spent his free time behind stacks of books, devouring everything he got his hands on.

As his time in the IA came to a close, the eldest son of House Alsimon struggled to decide where he would spend his time of service. His mind was made the day he first set eyes on the TIE L/N fighter at an Imperial air show. The sound of the fighter's twin turbo engines and distinct profile struck fear and awe into the young man. He knew at that instant his place was in the cockpit of a TIE.

Tragedy and the cruelness of the universe first touched Varnex's heart shortly after his graduation, in his summer before leaving for the flight academy. A terrorist “protest” turned violent, and using inside information, were able to land a deadly blow at the Imperial Embassy in his sector. Unbeknownst to Varnek at the time, his mother had been harboring doubts about the Empire for many years, and empowered by the tragedy on Endor and the loss of the Emperor, she provided means for the local rebellion cell to carry out their plan. His father's devotion to the Empire was absolute, and he died a hero's death fighting off the assault that followed the explosion at the Embassy. Varnex did not think his pain could grow any deeper or more desolate, until the investigation following the incident brought to light his mother's perfidy. Her sentencing was brought about with the usual Imperial efficiency and summary execution by blaster was carried out shortly after. Varnex, though in attendance, refused to look away, and did not shed tears. In the months following he sank himself into his studies, preparing himself for his entrance into the Imperial University on Aurora Prime, having been accepted into the prestigious Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps.

Though his loyalty was not in question, Varnex carried the shame of betrayal in his heart and knew that nothing he could do would remove that mark from his family name. He felt any acclaim he garnered would be worthless, unable to balance such a deep treachery. He decided that he would from then on go by a new moniker, a name pulled from a dusty record in the back of the Academy's library, a warrior priest who believed in the importance of duty and the neglect of glory. Oudik-Delta-4 has emerged from the Imperial University more dedicated and ready to serve in the esteemed Sin Squadron. He wishes only to deepen his understanding and devotion for the Galactic Empire through the study of the vast archives of the TIE Corps University and the destruction of the Empire's enemies in void combat.
