SHIP:

BIOGRAPHY: Born to a former Stormtrooper Infantry Sergeant on Dromund Kaas, Maximilian spent most of his young life listening to his father's tales of conflicts years past while pretending to be interested in what they taught him at school. After his mother abandoned his family at the age of five, Max's father became his world. The stories became an obsession of sorts. Introverted child that he was, he kept to himself, reading Military Historical Accounts and imagining himself in his father's shoes or those of other troopers. He continued like this for years, having few friends and keeping largely to himself until the age of seventeen, when he enlisted in the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps through the Continuity of Service program. Which allowed him to serve in his father's former unit upon completion of Boot and Advanced Training. Max wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and join the Infantry.

After taking a Military Placement Exam, Max was strongly urged to choose from one of the "brainier" jobs within the Corp, which he did only after strong encouragement from his father and the reinforcing that the job was indeed one that would see combat. After signing some forms and taking a physical Max was off, excited to finally reach for his dreams. Boot Camp was tough for the young introvert, now forced to shout at the top of his lungs and rely on the recruits around him for everything. As he adapted Max truly became a team player and do to his empathy was one of the most well liked recruits by his comrades. A knack for taking charge became to show as well, setting the stage for bigger and better things to come. Max truly felt proud of himself when his father showed up to his Legion's graduation. After Boot the newly minted Trooper went on to Advanced Training, where he found out he had a knack for explosives and gadgets. He graduated with honors and was placed in the 141st's EOD company. Because of the way they operate, the company is broken down from platoons to squads and sent to different infantry elements as needed.

He deployed almost immediately. He spent over a year bouncing from system to system along the edges of the Empire, disarming IEDS placed by anti Empire resistance groups. It was a rough year. His first firefight lasted nine minutes and took the lives of two of his squad mates. It started when they arrived at the scene of a reported IED, what appeareed to be a power cuplink rigged to the side of a landspeeder. They began taking fire the moment they arrived. The MP squad that called it in was already positioned behind the cover they could find, most just used their vehicles. It was sporadic and seemed to be from relatively untrained insurgents. No big deal. Max's squad assisted the MPs in eliminating all the enemy within sight and proceeded to disarm the IED. Max was pulling security with MPs while his Lt and another Tech suited up and moved in on the device. All seemed well for the first few minutes, until a sniper's bolt pierced the Lt's helmet and boiled her brains. The other Tech was killed by a burst of blaster fire from an automatic weapon. The "untrained" enemy launched a renewed assault against the troopers, which ended in the deaths of a three of the MPs and nearly all of the rebels. Max took charge of the rest of his squad and recovered the bodies of his comrades, despite being the second lowest ranking EOD Tech left. His leadership potential was noted by his Commander.

After completing his first four year stint at the age of 21 and reaching the rank of Corporal,Max was in the process of re-enlisting when he was strongly "encouraged" by his Commander to apply for a slot at the Stormtrooper Corps Officer Academy. He was accepted and reluctantly attended the three year Academy before earning his commission. Max was sent back to his unit with new responsibilities and the extreme likely hood he'd be given a squad of his own. After being given said squad, Max remained a conflicted soldier, leading his men into hell for the greater "good" time and time again.
