Juno Eclipse ' s father Juno Eclipse ' s father was a male Human who lived during the final years of the Old Republic and into the era of the Galactic Empire . A staunch supporter of Emperor Palpatine and a firm believer in the tenets of the New Order , he instilled his values into his daughter , Juno Eclipse . However , as a result of their dysfunctional relationship , the younger Eclipse promptly left her home planet of Corulag after joining the Imperial Navy , effectively severing ties between daughter and father . Biography . The father of Juno Eclipse , a male Human married to a woman of the same species , lived around the time of the Republic ' s transformation into the Galactic Empire in 19 BBY . Shortly after the start of the New Order , his wife gave birth to their daughter and only child , Juno Eclipse , on the Core planet of Corulag . According to Imperial records , Eclipse ' s mother was killed after being in a firefight between Imperial soldiers and insurgents on Corulag . Thus , her widower was left to raise their daughter , although he would have preferred to serve in the Imperial Military instead . His failure to pass the physical exam , however , barred him from gaining entry into the Imperial Academy . Forced to remain as a civilian engineer , Eclipse ' s father became a bitter and resentful man who , because of his frustrations , became increasingly cold and distant to his daughter . While still living on Corulag , Eclipse and her father relocated to a new home , which contained an illegal holo of Jedi armed with lightsabers . Upon discovering the holo , the father showed its content to her before erasing it . Due to his loyalty to Emperor Palpatine , he regarded the Jedi Order with hatred and disgust ; its members were branded as traitors for their alleged assassination attempt on Palpatine ' s life shortly before the end of the Clone Wars . At the age of 14 , Eclipse was admitted into the Academy as the youngest cadet to ever gain entry . Given that her father was a fierce admirer of anyone who enlisted into the service of the Empire , she hoped that her own loyalty and dedication to the New Order would meet with his approval . Her actions had an obstinate effect , however . The daughter ultimately achieved everything her father had ever wanted , and on the day when she completed her time at the Academy as an honor student , her father failed to attend the graduation ceremony . After accepting the fact that her father would never give his approval to her , Eclipse departed from her homeworld to serve in the ranks of the Imperial Navy . By then , the feelings of loathing and resentment were mutually shared between father and daughter , and thus contact between the two had ceased immediately after Eclipse left Corulag . No longer caring for her father , she went on to build a successful career as an Imperial officer and TIE pilot , partly to spite him by becoming all that he could never be . Personality and traits . The Human father of Juno Eclipse was cold and distant , particularly toward his daughter . Following the death of his wife , he blamed " insurgents " for his family ' s loss , and thus came to hate all enemies of the Galactic Empire . His support for Emperor Palpatine also caused him to develop an extreme hatred for the members of the Jedi Order who , from his point of view , were all traitors for attempting to overthrow Palpatine . His adherence to the ideals of the New Order extended to its Humancentric policy ; he strongly disapproved of his daughter ' s fascination with alien cultures , unlike his late wife who encouraged Eclipse ' s interest . Though Juno Eclipse longed for her father ' s approval , he refused to give it to her . An angry and ill - tempered man , he often directed his repressed feelings of frustration and resentment at his daughter through mostly verbal abuse . While his bitter disposition was largely the cause behind Eclipse ' s lonely childhood , his strong support for the Empire ' s armed forces inspired Eclipse to pursue a career in the Imperial Navy . Behind the scenes . Juno Eclipse ' s father first appeared in the novelization of the 2008 video game , written by author Sean Williams . He was also mentioned in the game ' s databank profile for Eclipse .
