Benjamin Caedus

Benjamin Caedus, known to his friends as Ben, is a Captain in the Reconstructed Galactic Empire. He hails from the former Imperial capital world Bastion and when he came of age, he entered the Imperial military academy there. He graduated as one of the top students in his class with specialties in both ground and space combat, allowing him to be assigned as either a stormtrooper or a TIE pilot. Ben was eventually assigned as a TIE pilot to a remote Imperial outpost where he saw little action and when his tour of duty was up, he didn't resign as a pilot. Having washed out of the fighter corps, Ben tried his hand in starfighter command, but once again, nothing happened for him and his career stalled. Ben was discharged from the military having never gotten a rank higher than captain and spent his time traveling from place to place around the Outer Rim. Now 30, Ben has returned to active duty in the RGE, this time as a ground trooper and while assisting Emperor Nick Owabi and two other high-ranking Imperial officials silencing terrorists on Bastion, he discovered that he was Force-sensitive and has begun training under the Emperor himself in the ways of the dark side of the Force.
