I've always known one thing since the Empire formed from the Republic. That since I am Mirialan Imperials will always treat me as inferior. That is unless I prove myself to be better than the rest, and that even our Emperor knows I am better.
I joined the Imperial Academy willingly to the dismay of nearly all of the students there. There was one who did not treat me like rubbish, and it another cadet named Johnith Lassin. He his brown hair was strange since only his bangs were grey.
It was not soon after we met he was at my side most of my time in the Academy. When I met him he did not know what he wanted from his education. I have avoided any confrontation form any of the cadets, but only days from our graduation I was giving Johnith advice.
"Johnith you must think of your future, and the future of the Empire." I told him as we were walking. He looked at me with a uncertain look on his features. "The Empire must have a tighter hold on the galaxy, more order." I said as I have said many times.
"Well it's not all that bad right now." Johnith said softly as he walked next to me before he continued. "I love the Empire really, but there is pain on many planets from what we do."
I was silent for a few moments as I looked over at him. "If they would obey galactic law there would be no need for any pain." I stopped walking as I faced him. "Johnith I see a change in the Empire coming, and I want to spearhead that change. So my question is are you with me or not?"
Johnith paused thinking for a few moments when he went to to give his answer another voice interrupted him. "A green skin like you doesn't have chance." I sighed ,and looked towards where it came from. Marching towards Johnith, and myself was a big cadet named Melvzac.
I heard from Johnith he was one of the more Xenophobic cadets. So naturally he had tried to target me, but he never got the pleasure from my evasion. " 'Bout time I put you in your place Miralan." He said as I looked him in his eyes coldly.
"I advise you to step away from me." I said, in my previsual vision I saw Johnith shaking his head at me. I put my hand up signaling I knew what I was doing. After a few moments that Melvzac didnt move back I sighed in annoyance. "I told you to step back."
"Oh and what are you gonna do sike the alien lover on me?" He asked looking over at Johnith.
I shook my head, as I held up a recording device, and turned it off. "No, the headmaster shall receive this recording of you." I said which just made him laugh.
"Like he will care about that." He said grinning. His grin did not last long as put the recording device away.
"He will when I corrupt the recording making you whatever I wish. How does a traitor of the Empire sound Johnith?" Johnith looked at me cracking a grin, even he wished for Melvzac to pay.
"Wait I-I'm sorry! Please don't do that!" He pleaded as I turned around. I just waved for Johnith to follow me as I started to walk down the hall. I heard the sound of footsteps running in our direction, and I turn on my heel.
Just as Melvzac was about to swing his arm down at my head another fist hit him in the jaw. Johnith now where Melvzac was moments ago with his arm outstretched. The caget started to stand up only to be to knocked to the ground again this time staying down.
"Thank you Johnith." I said patting his shoulder. I now knew his loyalty was truly to me. I waved him to follow once more, and we made our way to the headmaster's office.
I used a datapad to corrupt the audio, and gave it to the headmaster. Moments after he listened to it with us present Melvzac bursted into the room. "Headmaster I have to report the Mirala-"
"Oh I have already heard enough from you already." The headmaster said pressing a button on his desk. Two security guards walked in grabbing both of the boy's arms dragging him out.
Johnith has been my right hand ever since we graduated from the academy. He came with me whenever I was assigned somewhere else. Thanks to my requests, but when we were assigned on a star destroyer over the capital my life changed once more.
Red royal guards came board our ship making all crew on the bridge silent. We already knew who was coming on board the ship, but it still made all of us tense. I was only a lieutenant at this time ,but this only made this visit more important.
The royal guards parted as an Imperial Agent entered wearing what looked like red and black mandalorian armor. "Stand at attention all of you." he commanded his voice low. As he looked at us one by one I could almost feel his eyes land on me for a few moments.
"The Emperor shall be on board in mere moments, and one of you shall we selected for his task or one of you will be forced." I could see some of the other officers shift nervously. I still stood to attention, it was not every day the Emperor visited mere imperial officers.
The door opened, but it was not the Emperor. The first thing I heard after the door opening was the sound of a respirator. A tall black figure strode past the royal guards. His the red lenses of his helmet was direction at the Mandalorian.
"Agent Cipher, have you told the officers what one of them will be selected for?" He said in a deep commanding voice. The Imperial agent, this Agent Cipher looked to him.
"Not yet Lord Vader I was just getting to that." Agent Cipher said turning back to us. "One of you will be experimented on if it is your choice or not." He said. I the sound of sharp breathes went throughout the room before he continued.
"This is for the Empire, for the Emperor you shall be the newest weapon for the Empire." He finished looking at us.
Then the door opened once more as a black robed figure slowly walked towards the imperial officers and me. I could see yellow eyes, knew immediately this was our Emperor.
"Indeed excellently said Agent Cipher." He said in a low aged voice. He then looked at all of us with his yellow eyes. "Now who shall volunteer to be part of the Empire itself."
It was silent for a few moments, and one officer one the end in fear tried to run for the exit. Agent Cipher activated the jetpack on his back flying up, and made a clutching motion with his hand.
The officer stopped where he was ,and gasped holding his throat. He floated into the air silent as Cipher raised his arm, I realized he was using the force.
"What shall I do Lord Vader." He asked, and Vader didnt even look.
"Finish him we must not waste time." He commanded. The agent nodded ,and made a fist. A loud snap came from the officer, and he fell to the floor lifeless. Agent Cipher landed on the ground his jetpack no deactivated.
"Now I shall ask once more before I pick one of you myself." The Emperor said as if nothing happened. "Who will volunteer." I knew this was my chance to get close to the Emperor I had to take the chance.
I stepped forward in front of the rest of the officers. Agent Cipher stared at me seeing if I was going to run I bet. "I shall do it my Emperor!" I said while bowing to him.
I felt a hand pack my shoulder, and I stood up to see the Emperor's wrinkled hand on my shoulder. "Ah Excellent." He said as he waved at his guard to take me away. As I was walking out the door I saw Johnith giving me a worried look.
I was lead to a facility on Coruscant when I walked inside the door sealed behind me. A royal guard took my arm, and lead me to a medical metal table. I sighed, and got on to the table laying down on it. Mechanical restraints tightened around my wrists, and ankles.
A group of 2-1B medical droids and Fx-series droids crowded around the table. One put a breathing mask over me as I another inserted a needle into my arm. I felt my body go numb as my vision went black and I lost consciousness.
I remember waking mid operation which still haunts me to this day. I could feel my bones being drilled into, and being injected with more unknown serums. One 2-1B droid noticed I was awake, and quickly inject me once more. Then I slowly faded back into the blackness of my subconscious.
I woke once more this time alone on the table still restrained. My arms were wrapped in bandaged smeared with bacta. I groaned ,and pulled up on the mechanized restraint. To my surprise I ripped it off the metal table. Not just by strength ,but by shorting out the electronics.
"Perfect success." As the voice spoke the rest of my restraints let go. I sat up rubbing my wrists, and looked over at the Emperor. "You shall be rewarded for your bravery Lieutenant Kaznak."
I bowed to him wincing slightly from the pain. "It was my pleasure anything for the Empire and my Emperor." I said before standing up straight once more.
The Emperor laughed as I could see him smile under his hood. "Now I am assigning you to another project a prototype star destroyer called the Titan. It is host to another project a super weapon." He explained.
"As you wish sir ,what will be my station?" I asked still rubbing my wrists.
"You will be vice Admiral ,and under Admiral Pranstine." He said as he lead me out the doorway. "But there one more thing another will be going with you a Commander Johnith."
I smiled bowing once more. "Thank you sir I shall not disappoint."
