Profile for Skolar WilcoxCitizens of Tatooine, it is only fair I introduce myself, my name is Tourn Veilote, born in Mos Espa and I am running as a candidate for Prime Minister.
I began my life born to hard working parents who tried to give me the best they could, they provided me clothing, food, and education. All of this ended when, reutrning home from a performance I was part of, they were both gunned down by a Aqualish street thug. I found myself orphaned, with no one to turn to, I also gained a fierce mistrust of all non humans. I wasn't orphaned for long, because I found companionship in an Imperial Youth organization. They provided me kindness, a place to live, warm food. I felt home again and I was an impressionable youth. Of course, my time in the youth club led to my enlistment into the Imperial Army, I felt empowered and felt like I belonged. My time in the army was different than what some might think, we were ground troops, engaging rebel forces when ordered. I was blind to the true practices of the Empire, their hate, oppression, their tyranny.
My eyes were finally opened when shortly after the battle of Yavin we were captured by an elite team of rebel commando's, all non humans, which was the first blow to my beliefs. "How could non humans defeat us? We are superior?" we expected execution after torture, but it never came. the stormtroopers under my command, along with myself attempted several escapes, in line with an officers code, we were captured again and again, never receiving punishment more severe than warranted. Finally our moods changed and we came to know our captors as more than faceless aliens. There was Commander Preets, a Bothan. Lieutenant Kre'sssk a Mon Calamari. These men were not the monsters I had been told they were, they were not my enemy. Once we were faced with these facts, and shown the true side of the Empire, their crimes, we renounced our past.
When the war ended, I assisted Republic agents in hunting down and arresting escaped Imperial war criminals before finally hearing of an Imperial Remnant group led by Royal members of a cluster in the galactic rim. They had banded into a defensive force to protect their home against enemies who wished the people of their sector harm. The Moffs had all abandoned the Galactic Empire once it became clear what the Emperor had intended, an oppressive superior civilization led only by humanity. I joined the Imperial Royals and commanded the 21st Defensive regiment, a group of mixed species which was tasked with defensive battle and protecting Treklin, the IR homeworld.
things were good until the Tragolite Civil war broke out, the True Tragolite Empire invaded the P'rek cluster with the help of the mysterious Capsuleers with the intent of wiping our Confederation out and denying an ally to their enemies. We were overwhelmed and as I watched my new home burn I held my post with my brothers and sisters as we secured the spaceport through wave of wave of bombardment and assualt, until the last group of survivors had evacuated.
I returned home to Tatooine, my native home, a place I've feared for years, to make peace. what I saw was frightening, factions; good and bad. fighting for control, the only glimmer of hope remains the fledgling government attempting to rise above the sand. I was even more horrified by a simmering wave of human-first voices. I've decided to throw my hat in, as a leader to quell such voices, to unify my people, to make Tatooine a place we can proudly call our home.
