The shot changed my life. There's no two ways about it. From the moment before it, and the moment I pulled that trigger I was a different person.
Icy winds and a terrible battle on a frozen world known as Hoth and suddenly I'm seeing things in a whole new way.
Since then I've viewed life differently. I started thinking, probably a lot more then I should have. Things in the galaxy suddenly started to make a lot less sense.
I was a Trooper of the Imperial Corps. But more then that, I was a Scout Trooper. An accomplished marksmen, able to operate in more environments other soldiers dread. Proudly enforcing the Empires laws and projecting its power across the stars.
Yet all that I was shook so terribly. So much so that I felt like a different person when I left that icy hell known as Hoth.
I'm known as SJ-481….. though my platoon calls me S-man….
But to me, I'm not really either of those.
I identify myself by Rannik Dalgus… my birth name
And I was born
