“I enjoy a challenge.”
- - Decimius
Decimius is a male Libertus that serves as a captain in the Imperial Navy of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. A native of Cyranduas in the Cyrannus Galaxy, Decimius was brought up as a lover of freedom and democracy and in his adult life, he became a ruthless yet respected captain in the United Republic of Cyrannus. When the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus was formed, Decimius retained his title of captain, becoming one of the most respected officers in the Imperial Order.
Decimius is a brilliant tactician in battle and cares deeply about those who serve under him. When the Empire was formed, Decimius gained command of the powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyer Chimaera. In the third year of Imperial rule, Decimius was sent to the Mirus Galaxy in order to protect Imperial interests in the ongoing Tralor Confinement War.
History
Early Life
Decimius was born on the planet Cyranduas in the Cyrannus Galaxy in the year 34 BNE. Decimius grew quickly and was very interested in military history from a young age as such, the young Libertus trained for years in the hopes of joining the Cyranduas planetary defense fleet. However, when the United Republic of Cyrannus arrived at Cyranduas, Decimius instead decided to join the Republic Navy, eventually becoming a lieutenant on-board the flagship of Laege Shavalera.
As a crewmember on the Valorous, Decimius fought in many battles in the Great Cyrannus War, most notably the Third Battle of Acrocanthaí in which his preformance in battle against the United Lanat Empire gauranteed his promotion to captain. However, before he could be assigned a new ship the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus was formed, ending the war. Decimius spent several months on Orbispira before finally he was given command of a Star Destroyer.
Captain of the Chimaera
Decimius was at first posted across the Outer Rim of the Cyrannus Galaxy on the Empire's seemingly endless campaigns against the Confederacy of Free Planets. During these many battles, Decimius performance as a tactician was noticed by Imperial Command, who reassigned the young Libertus to the Mirus Galaxy which was in the midst of the opening stages of a war between the Lanat Empire and the United Mirus Council. Instead of aiding the Lanat Empire as Decimius expected, he was instead ordered to launch probes in the hopes of learning more about the political situation in the galaxy and how best to prepare it for an eventual Imperial presence.
Physical Appearance
Decimius' most notable physical feature is his red eye, a feature common to Libertus on Cyranduas. Having greenish skin and wearing a low-key Imperial uniform, Decimius none the less sticks out in the crowd. His uniform is skin-tight and contains a utility belt containing a small handgun as well as any supplies that might be needed should he find himself in a firefight.
Personality and Traits
Decimius is viewed by many in Imperial Command as the perfect officer of the Navy. Intelligent, calculating, unflinching in the face of danger. Decimius embodies all of these traits and molds them together to form a tactical genius the likes of which there few in a generation. Caring deeply about those who serve under him, Decimius never risks the lives of those under his command and blames himself whenever one fails. Nevertheless, on the battlefield, Decimius is ruthless, dangerous and though he knows when to retreat, has a devotion to victory and ultimate Imperial glory. Unlike many in the Empire desiring a higher place in the hierarchy, Decimius is content with the title of captain, enjoying the mix of conflict and exploration that comes from captaining a ship in the unknown reaches of the Gigaquadrant.
