I am William de Brightstar, third son of Baron Humphries de Brightstar. My family was ennobled some five generations ago in thanks for a service performed by my ancestor to empire.  While the service wasn’t of great importance to the history of our eternal empire but did much for my family and since then we have dutifully served the throne.  Of the current generation both of my brothers serve in the Imperial Cavalry and my younger sister is a third year at the Academy… As for myself, well, while my siblings took to the Line Officer track, I found a real talent for the planning and administrative maneuvering that are the hallmarks of a true Staff Officer. While my brothers look down on me for becoming a ‘mere paper-pusher’ I have found that the true power within the Imperial Navy lies with those controlling the flow of resources and information more than any dash or élan. While some considered me to be 'nosy' and 'officious' few disagreed with my ability to find and make the best use of resources and was considered on track for a position within the Grand Imperial General Staff on Reunion itself.  I’ve served as a Staff Officer for six years with a promising, if methodical, climb before running afoul of the corrupt Admiral Mugombe who promptly assigned me to Tahminah Lasalle's unit.
