About Me

I am an administrator for the Star Wars Combine now, but before that I used to be a player. Jennifer Dreighton witnessed and sometimes even shaped Imperial history in the Combine for a few years, and it is from her memeories and archives that this site is created from.

Short - mostly IC - biography

I joined the Empire and 3rd Recon Fleet in late -1. With the remodeling of the fleet into 2nd Imperial Fleet, I became the XO of the 21st Sector Fleet

When Commodore Veynom became Grand Admiral, I followed him to Naval High Command and took over the Imperial Naval Personnel Office (INPO).

I was one of the leading officers who decided to leave the Galactic Empire and form the Imperial Core. After Emperor Piett had left and Connel has usurped the throne, life in the Empire had become difficult for those who were seen as followers of Veynom. Forming the Imperial Core was our way to stay true to what we believed in when there was no more room for us in the Galactic Empire.

I served the Core as second of command under Lord Protector Simms. I usually ran the Core on a daily basis, as Simms - or Darth Knyte, as he more and more liked to be called - was more and more occupied with his studies of the Dark Side of the Force.

With the galaxy wide message from Grand Admiral Veynom ("From the Ashes") I assumed command of the Core, while Darth Knyte joined the newly emerging Sith group, let my former Emperor Piett.

Allthough we were unable to complete our mission as we had planed, the combined efforts of the Imperial Core and the Sith let to the creation of the Dark Empire under Emperor Vodo.

During the reunification talks between Dark Empire and Galactic Empire I was one of the representatives for the Core.

After the reunification I served as Vice Admiral as best as I could. I never had any other intentions than serving the Emperor faithfully, but had found myself in a situation where this was difficult to do, being kept in assigmments with fancy titels and nothing to do. So it is not without irony that it was my arrest by Byden ordered by Grand Admiral Black Lodge that eventually let to the downfall of Emperor Charon. The arrest was for insubordination (to Black Lodge) and had nothing to do with Charon himself. But the conditons of the reunification treaty mandated that any arrest (and potentially execution) of any of the participants in the negotiations would have to be played out in an Red Scenario (RS). It was Charons refusal to open such an RS that caused his removal as Emperor by game administration.

Under Emperor Uebles I held the positon of Vizir and Director of Compnor and later Imperial Executor, making me second in command.

I left the Empire to become a game administrator when Uebles stepped down and Vodo became Emperor (again).
