Biography[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Bernard is relatively muscular and slim, with regular workouts. His tall posture and disciplined looks suggest a strict upbringing. He is handsome, and has a small amount of white hair. Even while off duty, he dresses semi-formal, but beneath his strong and commanding demeanor, lies a great deal of guilt.

Personality[edit]

Bernard is quite intelligent, logical, and vocal. Despite strong physical strength, he is actually quite lazy when it comes to labor. He is outspoken and has a lot of suggestions. Bernie is also argumentative, even when it comes to superior officers. He is very adaptive when it comes to new situations, and at all times strives for maximum efficiency, even if it might clash with established doctrine. He won't hesitate to call for help if he needs it, which is seen by others as cowardice. It has also been noted that he is calm and composed in times of extreme stress, a trait identified by his recruiting officer. He may also be a tad bit selfish when coming to decisions. When it comes to combat, he is very fond of overkill - bringing battle droids to a schoolyard brawl.

Conflicting interests[edit]

Bernie is simultaneously very fond of luxury, and extremely paranoid. Bernard has a high rise condo in Lotaith, but recognizes the danger. In this time of galactic turmoil, certain methods are necessary. He argued with his landlord to keep an LAAT/i on ( purchased at Imperial center ) on the roof of the building as a heavily armored, fast escape route in the event of disaster, attack, or civil unrest. The only condition was that the landlord got to ride as well. Bernie splurges on luxury goods, but keeps copies of all important documents, and several thousand credits in the gunship, along with a Dark eye probe droid and a jetpack. Since it takes multiple people to fully use a LAAT/i, Bernie has made arrangements for his neighbors to come along, either paying large sums of credits, or operating turrets. Bernie's paranoia extends beyond that. He keeps 2 droidekas in the gunship, and two in his condo. Burglars, robbers, or Mischief nighters would be shot with stun blasts upon attempted break in. Several standard battle droids also staff it. In the event of hostile skies full of New Republic fighters, he has arranged to purchase a HMP droid gunship to escort the escape LAAT/i. It would take off from a camouflaged lot to draw fire, divert attention, and provide suppressive fire. Guarding that launch pad is a Scorponek Annihilator droid, another bargain.

Once these gunships take off, they will make for one of several points, one being a millitary base, a spaceport, and a canyon in the middle of nowhere depending which area is safer. At each point are stocked rations, food, survival gear,weapons, and two B-1 battledroids fighting delaying actions. Once there, the supplies and droids will be taken aboard, and the gunship will make for orbit, hoping to commandeer a fast civilian vessel to get out of system with the gunship's weaponry. While on the planet, Bernie's three B-3 ultra battle droids and two b-2 super battle droids, along with two more droidekas ( amazing priced deal ) will rise out of the basement and seize control of the condo, awaiting Bernie's return. Bernie was picked by CRAZY magazine as the 4th most well prepared person in Lotaith. Only a personal blockade runner could help more, and he is saving up for one, by means of a well performing stock porfolio. As a member of the navy, his extensive droid army is legal... but looked upon suspiciously.

History[edit]

Bernie was born on Anaxes, but spent much of his childhood in various orbital habitats and skyhooks. His parents were investment bankers that were not present for much of his upbringing. He was enrolled in various private and military schools, and He was an only child. As a result, one would expect a very carefree and spoiled kid, but as a side effect of spending a lot of time with his navy cousin, Alvin. Alvin was a second lieutenant aboard the infamous dreadnought Executor during the battle of Endor. During adolescence, when Bernard heard of the disaster, he was appalled. Despite the vast resources of the Empire, he saw an organization of waste, inefficiency, and corruption. It was the business attitude of the parents that led Bernard to engage on a campaign of reform. The fact that a trillion credit star-dreadnought could be taken out by a few rebel A-wings blew his mind. Other such gargantuan disasters such as the actual death stars, the world devastators and the Eclipse class astonished him with the loss of life afforded by the genocidal but undoubtedly frugal rebel factions. He immediately joined the Anaxes officer academy, against his parents' best wishes, determined to help the bloated empire streamline itself to better enforce the peace and stability that let Bernard grow up in peace. During academy, Bernard studied logistics and combat command techniques that didn't involve hurling waves of expendable units into the enemy formation. However, his proclivity for overkill led to some odd performances on various simulators. During this time, rebels attempted to recruit some of the students. Despite some of his friends defecting, Bernard proved loyal to the empire. After officer academy, it was a tragedy that he graduated right as the empire collapsed. Surveying the chaotic warlord factions, Bernard determined that the Vast Empire had the best claim to the throne( and the best job opportunities for a naval officer ),and so he boarded a shuttle for the Vast Empire. Through the combat efficiency championed by Bernard, he believed that this remnant could reclaim the galaxy for the empire.

Other Notes: Bernie is an avid Sabacc player, and is quite good at it. In university, he went on an exchange student semester to Cato Neimoidia. When he was 14, he took a cruise on a Mon Cal MC80 before the Dac system went over to the terrorists, and that luxury liner was converted into a battlecruiser.He's a stock trader as well, and admired the confederacy military in the clone wars. He collects rare ( and surprisingly cheap ) droids.

Benrie was disillusioned with the varied squabbling factions. The Deep core warlords were greedy, stupid, and insignificant. Ysanne Isard was paranoid, stupid, and got her command ship stolen by rebels. Daala's Maw fleet was still resting at spacedock. Bernard almost went to Thrawn, as he admired Pellaeon's tactics. The problem was that Thrawn's fleet was too high profile, dangerous, had too high of a fatality rate. The new republic was out of the questions, while Zsinj was too fat.He'd heard of some deep Core warlords possessing up to Eclipse class Dreadnoughts, but they squabbled among themselves. After crossing out a dozen imperial splinter factions on his datapad, Bernard booked a flight to the Sian System.
