Imperial-II Star Destroyer: Aegis

Sitting in my personal office aboard my flagship, from where I commanded the flotilla of ships I had been granted and put in charge of some two years ago now, I watched a holomessage play on my personal terminal.

The holomessage itself having been sent to me via a comm channel directly linked to the ISB Central Office. Which is located on Imperial Central. Otherwise known as Coruscant.

The message itself was sent by the ISB current commander and leader, a man known only as Sollaine.

As for its details, well it basically confirmed what I already knew thanks to my foreknowledge. We, the Empire, had lost the Battle of Endor. The Second Death Star has been destroyed, and both our "illustrious" emperor Palpatine and our supreme commander Vader were killed.

Once again I already knew this, but getting confirmation through this message doesn't hurt. Not one bit.

Since this means I can finally start moving forward with the plans I've constructed over the years in anticipation of this very moment.

What plans you ask?

Well that's quite simple.

My plans to preserve and protect as much of the Empire as possible. Since although numerous individuals within the Empire are nothing but greedy, arrogant, sadistic, sycophantic, bastards -who wouldn't even hesitate to sacrifice their own friends or family for more power - there are numerous individuals who also are not. Some people simply truly value the Empire's basic ideals and wish to live and serve under it. Though most individuals of this nature never get far in the Empire. Though there are a few expectations to this rule.

Like yours truly.

Speaking of which before we continue I think it's only right I introduce myself.

Hello there, my name is Treize Khushrenada.

Now I'm sure some of you might be familiar with that name. But for those of you who aren't I'll explain the significance of my name.

It is a name belonging to a character from another fictional universe known as Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. A popular series that is part of the Gundam franchise. A franchise generally detailing the adventures of angsty teenagers - who usually possess some sort of bullshit overpowered superpower - who participate in wars and the like by pilot giant robots known as mobile suits. Though the main characters in each individual Gundam series usually pilot a mobile suit which is named Gundam. Hence the name of the entire franchise.

But it seems I'm getting off track here so allow me to get back to my main point.

I bare the name of a highly complex individual. Since although Treize in Gundam was depicted as a villain due to his actions he was also a man who exhibited chivalrous tendencies and greatly valued his family and friends. It's why he was one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. It's also why I am honored to have his name. But it's not just that.

Since addition to having the same name as Treize I also have his appearance as well.

Making me think that whatever being or Force - which includes the Force of this universe - that decided to give me a second chance at life in this universe had some sense of humor. Given that they sent me to one of my favorite fictional universes with the name and appearance of a character from another one of my favorite fictional universes.

Yes, I am not originally from this world. This is my second life.

In my first I was known by the name Alex Carson. A simple 23 year old 2nd lieutenant in the United States Army, with a love of anime and space opera, specifically Star Wars. That is until one night when everything changed.

One night after leaving a small bookstore, where I had just managed to purchase a complete set of first edition 'Heir to the Empire' trilogy books, I was on my way home when out of nowhere I found myself involved in an accident with a truck. My involvement being that the truck had hit me and sent me flying through the air.

Though my soaring through the sky only lasted a few seconds before I returned to the ground. Where my head smashed into it and it cracked open. Thus I was dead before I knew it.

But then right after I was I found myself alive again. A fact which I honestly couldn't believe. Though was was even more unbelievable is the fact that once I was old enough I discovered I was now living in a galaxy Far Far Away.

Right at the beginning of the reign of the Galactic Empire.

Which left me scared in the beginning. Given all I knew concerning the atrocities the Empire was going to commit. But as time passed on my mindset began to change. Specifically due to the numerous discussion my friends and I conducted in my previous life about what the Galactic Empire could be without people like Palpatine and Tarkin at the reigns, calling the shots. So with that in mind, and several other factors, I made a decision and began working towards a goal I had set for my new life.

To change the Empire into something better. To make it stable, and turn it into a shining beacon for those across the galaxy.

Upon resolving myself to this task I began understanding why I had been given the appearance and name of Treize Khushrenada.

For just like him I would do what needs to be done to see my visions become a reality.

After the message from Sollaine finished relaying to me the details of the Battle of Endor it then relayed to me new orders.

Which was to return with my flotilla of ships to Imperial Central to reinforce its defenses.

Once it relayed the new orders the holomessage came to an end.

A few seconds after it did I used my C1 personal comlink to contact my highest ranking officers aboard the Aegis and ordered them to report directly to my office. So I could inform them of all I had learned from Sollaines' holomessage. And so we could plan our next moves.

Several minutes passed until eventually I heard the electronic chime of my office door. Telling me someone was standing outside of it.

"Enter." I spoke.

A moment after I did so my office door opened and three individuals stepped inside. All of whom lined up in front of me as my office door closed shut.

The first individual is a 25 year old male with olive-skin, curly dark hair, and emerald green eyes. He stands at 1.88 meters in height. His attire consists of a Imperial pilots non-combat uniform. The rank insignia plaques on his chest marking him as a commander. His name is Jace Wilkstrom. A man born on the outer rim world of Taris who loves to fly, but also loves the ladies. Put simply he is a womanizer. But when things are serious so is he. That's why he's the commander of the Aegis starfighter wing.

The second individual is a 30 year old male with short dark hair and brown eyes. Who also sports several golden facial tattoos. He stands at 1.86 meters in height. His attire is the standard Imperial Stormtrooper armor. The man's name is Rix Horne. A lieutenant colonel of the Stormtrooper Corps, as well as the commander of the 69th Stormtrooper Regiment. Which I certainly did not asked to have assigned to my ship. Born on the planet Corellia his parents were veterans from the Clone Wars, so he joined the military to follow in their footsteps. The two of us have a good working relationship, and I absolutely trust him, despite Rix being a Stormtrooper. Namely because I show him absolute respect, despite his origins. For the lieutenant colonel is not entirely human. His mother is a Kiffar, giving him mix blood. And given the Empires views on any species other than pure humans - which I plan to do away with as I reform the Empire - I truly admire him for rising to the position he has.

The third and final individual is the only woman of the three. She is 27 years old - the same age as me - and sports ash-blonde shoulder-length hair and sky blue eyes. With her height being 1.65 meters. Her attire consists of an Imperial Navy officers uniform. The rank insignia plaques on her chest marking her as an Imperial Navy Captain. The woman's name is Melec Somi. A native from the coreworld of Chandrila she is my XO aboard the Aegis and handles the ships day-to-day operations so I can manage the operations of the entire flotilla. She is also an old friend/rival from my days at the Imperial Academy on Coruscant.

As soon as my office door was completely shut Jace, Rix, and Melec all gave me a perfectly executed salute.

Standing to my feet I returned their salutes with one of my own. "At ease." I told them. I then relaxed from my salute and re-took my seat.

They followed my orders and relaxed from their own salutes.

"So colonel, what is going on? Why did you suddenly call us to your office like this?" Rix asked me.

Addressing by my rank as he did.

Which is that of a High Colonel in the Imperial Army.

As for why a high colonel is commanding a force of Imperial ships, well it's because the Imperial military command structure is weird at times. It's also because I am a high-ranking member of the Imperial Security Bureau and was assigned the Aegis and these the other ships under my command to help me with my work in that regard.

Which they have done excellently over these past two years.

"To inform you all on a matter of the utmost importance." I replied to Rix. "I just received new order directly from the ISB Central Office on Imperial Central. We are to make best speed back to help reinforce Imperial Central defenses." I explained.

"Why sir?" Melec asked me.

"This holomessage will answer your question captain." I replied. I then replayed Sollaines' message for the others.

As they watched it no one spoke a word. They simply took it in and listened until the very end.

Once it was over a silence filled my office, until Rix broke it.

"The emperor dead." He muttered.

"Lord Vader as well." Jace added.

"This is..." Melec trailed off.

Saying nothing I simply let my three highest ranked officers - and friends - process what they had just learned. Then when I felt enough time had passed I spoke.

"I know. believe me, I understand what you all are feeling." I said. Drawing the others eyes to me. "This loss, it's heartbreaking. Even so, let it not let is keep us from protecting what is still here. The emperor and Vader may be gone, but the Empire they built is still here. We still have something to protect. So let us." I spoke.

"Yes, Treize is correct. We still have things we must protect." Rix said.

"Then let's get too it." Melec added.

Jace nodded.

"Excellent. Alright then, let us begin." I spoke. "To the bridge." I said.

The four of us then left my office and started making our way to the bridge of Aegis.

Me having just taken my first steps into turning the Empire into what I envisioned it could be.

An actual force for good for the galaxy.

A/N: Hello readers and Star Wars fans and welcome to my Star Wars Story.

First off this story is EU/Legends, which is the only Star Wars I will ever recognize as canon. Not whatever Disney makes.

Secondly, this is going to be the journey of an reincarnated OC who will work to re-shape the Empire from within after the end of Episode VI. I plan for it to go on for a long time. Detailing numerous Legends events. There will also be other OC's as you can see from this very first chapter.

Third, as to why I modeled the MC after Treize Khushrenada from Gundam Wing it's because I felt it was appropriate. Since I really like Treize as a character and think he would fit well in the Star Wars Universe. Actually a lot of Gundam characters would in my opinion, but that's neither here nor there.

Next up, the MC is not a force-sensitive. I've seen just about every story on FFnet about the MC reincarnating as a Force-sensitive. Which isn't bad at all. But that won't happen in this fic. Also there will be a romantic partner for the MC but this is not a harem fic. It will be a build up of romance.

I have many ideas for this story, so don't expect a constant update of chapters until I get things together. Though if you want some advanced chapters then check ot my Paetron account in the future.

Here is the link: /ArifuretaForever

Well then, until the next chapter my friends.
