Template: Imperial Fleet Officer

Species:human

Age: 34

Gender: male

Physical Description: Maxx is very tall but does not have the corresponding stockiness that would make him the typical intimidating imperial officer. He is always very clean shaven and keeps his dark brown hair cut to Imperial standards. He has no obvious scars or anything that would disfigure him. In fact, the most striking thing about Maxx is just how plain he looks for an officer.

Background: Place of Origin: Maxx was born on Sluis Van Central Space Station of all places ! His parents were returning home to Berchest from a business trip when Maxx decided to enter the galaxy three months prematurely. He grew up at the family home in the Berchestian capital, Calius. Maxx loved the Crystal City and would often spend many days causing havoc in the many bridgeways with his friends !

Social Status: The Hellon family owned Hellon Shipping and Recieving - a major company on Berchest and was very rich for a time.. until the trade federation won a lawsuit against the company. But even after the collapse of the company, the family were never poor. Maxx had a good education.. but then in the eyes of his parents "threw it all away" when at age 17 - he applied to the Imperial Academy.

Political Affiliation: On his induction day at the academy, Maxx swore alliegence to the Empire and has never broken it. As for political matters, Maxx has never gotten involved, preferring instead to train harder and harder to become the best he can be.

Significant Family/Friends/Past relations: Entering the Imperial Academy finished his family life for all practical purposes, the letters from home dried up when his fathers prediction that he would drop out proved incorrect. Maxx however proved quite popular with his fellow crewers whereever he went - he never really had a "best friend" but nevertheless enjoyed a lot of respect, due to his jaw dropping leaps of innovation in combat. When he did talk to his fellow officers, it was only about ships and weapons- such as when the new TIE defender would be coming out

Current and Former Occupations: His first five years in the fleet were pretty mudane, nothing more than cleaning duty aboard Carrack Cruisers, Dreadnaughts and other lesser capital ships. But Maxx played the game and eventually proved himself to be a capable team leader and was transfered to the ISD Stormhawk as a senior sensor array technician in charge of providing ranging data to the Stormhawks Turbolaser batteries. Three months into his new job, the Stormhawk was attacked by a wing of Corellian Corvettes and lost three of its four major sensor arrays - while some of the bridge crew wasted time trying to repair the damage, Maxx simply marched up to the turbolaser controls, slave rigged every single turbolaser to one panel and held off the Corvettes until reinforcements could arrive. He was severley reprimanded by his superior officer for breaching the chain of command.. then promoted three grades to Lt Commander ! At the age of 25, Hellon was third in command of an Imperial Star Destroyer, with many older and more experienced people below him.. and the future looked bright. Now at age 34, he is highly experienced - the decline of the Empire has not affected his resolve - he is a shining example to the remmants of the empire.

Personality: Maxx is not really a social person - he maintains a constant state of professional politeness. However keep your eye on him when one of his orders results in the destruction of an enemy.. a small clenching of the fist betrays his obvious glee ! He also seems to take a small pleasure in being totally unpredictable - he once put his Captain through mental agony in a battle against a Mon Cal cruiser - he let the enemy ship have two clear broadsides without fighting back. Uttering the words "trust me sir", he let the enemy approach for a third strike - at which point he ordered all weapons to fire on a small part of the ship - which turned out to be a defective power coupling. After the Mon Cal ship exploded violently he calmly explained that since the Mon Cal was using stolen imperial turbolasers, the more she fired, the more power the coupling would have to handle - and those old Mon Cal couplings were not up to imperial specs !

Special Abilities:Maxx is an encyclopedia of the Imperial and New Republic Fleets. He knows every Capital Ship, Freighter, Cruiser, Fighter and what they are capable of - He is also highly ingenious when it comes to strategy and tactics. Not bad for someone who almost failed his test flight !

Important Possessions:Uniform, boots and rank insignia.

Objectives: He vows to continue to defend the Empire in what ever shape or form. He also hopes to command a fleet one day.
