TK-5786

## Early Life

James Slow was born to Lash and Marhele Slow in 19 bby shortly before the conclusion of the Clone Wars. When Slow was a child his father wasn't around very often due to being part of the Imperial Navy and his mother didn't involve himself in his life more than she needed to. When Slow was a teenager he became a big fan of the Call of Empire series of hologames. He became pretty involved in the community around the games. Slow's father being part of the Imperial Navy wasn't very happy with the things his son spent his free time doing. When Slow became of age he was contacted by an Imperial recruitment agent and pressured by his father to join the Stormtrooper Corps.

## Initial Deployment

James Slow was assigned to the 1st Stormtrooper Division under the 10th Sector Army and given the designation TK-5786. Almost immediately after being assigned to his new unit they were sent to the planet Toprawa to stop a rebel incursion on the planet. Despite the training he received Slow found himself unprepared for the amount of bloodshed he witnessed during the battle. Despite the events of the battle Slow and his squad made it though to the end. When he was sent back to the ISD Prevention he thought it was over only to find out a few days later that a massive Imperial battle station with hundreds of thousands of imperials on board had been destroyed by the rebel alliance. Upon joining the Stormtrooper Corps Slow would try to distance himself from his Call of Empire days.

## Time on the ISD Prevention

Slow spent the majority of his time in service on the ISD Prevention. Sortly after The Battle of Toprawa Slow decided to take on extra medical training so that he may reduce the amount of deaths in the unit. He was sent on countless combat missions with the 1st Stormtrooper Division ranging from The Battle of Boz Pity ***(0 ABY)*** to The Battle of Jabiim ***(0 ABY-1 ABY)***

## IH-227c

In the final months of his life, Slow and the rest of the 1st Stormtrooper Division were diverted away from the war in what high command said was a reward for the high rates of success they had while patrolling the galaxy. The division was stationed on a planet in the unknown regions only referred to as IH-227c. While stationed on this outpost the division saw little combat apart from the the very violent wildlife and the odd assignment off world.

## The Second Battle of Hoth

Two years after the death star was destroyed the dark jedi Namman Cha requested the aid of the 1st Stormtrooper Division in tracking down a Nightsister on the planet Hoth. Upon arrival they split off into different teams and carried out their mission. The detatchment that has been sent down to the planet encountered Renegade Squadron of the Rebel Alliance who had secretly been establishing rebel facilities on the planet. The troopers quickly engaged the group of rebels they had found and cleared their outpost out. When they came back to the surface they found that they had been completely surrounded by rebels. Refusing to surrender the men of the 1st Stormtrooper division fought hard against the ever advancing rebel force. As the rebels drew closer more and more men were cut down including Captain Mikmaq. The rebels were simply advancing far too quickly, there was no time for him to give medical aid to any of his fellow troopers. He and the others were forced to watch them die on the ground as they retreated back inside.

As the troopers were pushed back inside they had a few minutes to set up make shift defenses with crates and barrels. In time the rebels did move into the base and were met with fierce resistance. The stormtroopers were simply far too outnumbered, the rebels in time had breached the defenses and overrun the imperial force. Slow and a few others were cut off from the rest of the group and quickly retreated into a side room. Slow immediately closed the door and shot the console which he had hoped would stall the rebels for a moment. Inside the room with Slow were two troopers that he did not know, an engineer, and Vice Admiral Derek Noll who had come down to the surface with them. The rebels started cutting the door in an effort to get through, the five men readied themselves. The rebels were ready too. A quick exchange followed. The engagement couldn't have lasted more than ten seconds but it had resulted in the deaths of all five men. Slow died protecting his empire.

The rest of the men sent down would be either killed or captured apart from a few who did escape. Those part of the division not sent to the surface would be reassigned. Those who survived reported the rebels to the general who was coordinating the operation. The general would write the survivors off as mad and claim they were using rebels as an excuse for heavy casualties. Nobody would truly know how these men met their ends.
