Janek Sunber

An officer in the Galactic Empire, Lieutenant Janek Sunber joined the Empire hoping to prove himself as a starfighter pilot. Whilst he was an above-average pilot, his skills were not up to Imperial standards, but rather than return home and face humiliation, Sunber enrolled in the infantary. Hard working and dedicated, Sunber made officer rank within a year.

Stationed on the jungle world of Maridun, Sunber proved himself as a credit to the Empire, remaining level-headed and calm as the Imperial presence on the jungle planet came under attack by fierce Amanin warriors. Although he earned the ire of the cowardly and lazy Captain Gage and Commander Frickett, he impressed General Ziering enough to receive a field promotion to Captain, and shortly afterwards, Commander.

It was thanks to Sunber that the Imperials on Maridun were able to battle the Amanin to a standstill, but General Ziering was killed during the battle, leaving the jealous Captain Gage as the only one who could verify Sunber’s promotions to the Imperial leaders back on Carida. The envious did not, and Sunber was made to surrender his Commander’s badge, returning to the position of Lieutenant.
