Known character history:
Admiral Viridian has been in the Navy since he was 17, and was happy to see it change from the underfunded bastard stepchild of the Republic
to the galaxy-spanning eldest sibling of the Empire's New Order. He was able to unleash Hell between the stars when necessary,
but always made and effort to see if less fatal means could achieve similarly optimal results. The Empire used him to take care
of very difficult, but politically remote situations, and in the process turned him into a war hero.
Now that the Empire is fully in control however, it finds itself with less need for heroic leaders--especially ones with a conscience and
a following of personal admirers in the fleet. Viridian was forcibly retired, ostensibly to "spend his remaining advanced years enjoying the fruits of his labors."
The ISB agents on his staff attempted to arrange a tragic accident, and discovered that the "tired, aging" Admiral is a firm believer in the adage,
"Old age and treachery defeats youth and skill every time."
The Admiral now finds himself without state, rank, or crew. All he has left is his personal yacht, The Privilege,
and 42 years of tactical and strategic planning. Time to go to war.
"No crew, no plan, and an unarmed yacht. Most of the wars you start are a little better organized Viridian."
Relationship to other characters:
Admiral Viridian recently discovered that his staff roster was short a few (all) individuals.
If he is going to war againt the politics of the galaxy, he will need a few replacements.
