You crawled out of a rock in the Outer Rim. It smelled like dust and disappointment.
Your mother got sick. A mysterious rich uncle shows up and takes you in.
New family. New rules. New stepmother who treats you like furniture that eats too much.
Her perfect daughter (your cousin?) lands a spot in an elite Imperial program. You, piece of garbage with mediocre scores, obviously don't.
But stepmom wants you gone. Strings get pulled. You're in.
This is your last shot at becoming someone. So for the love of the Empire... do NOT fuck this up.
