After graduation, Zhaff spent a few months putting a hyperdrive on his ship so he could see the Galaxy. One thing stopped him from meeting his goal: money. He had lost his job to a rebel terrorist attack, and hadn't been able to find additional work. He decided that his best option was to begin travel, and enlist in the military. He launched into hyperspace, and began attempting to contact the New Republic's recruitment office, to no avail. He sent in his application, and never heard back.

Pre-enlistement

Zhaff began his life on the supple and crime ridden streets of Corellia. The only son of middle class family Orikan, he lived a comfortable life. In school, he maintained decent grades. Nothing to spectacular, but he rarely had to cram for tests and never had to bring home bad grades.

Growing up, Zhaff was exposed to propaganda from both sides of the inter-galactic struggle. Posters were strewn around his home town claiming of evils committed by the Galactic Empire, but they were far outnumbered by the posters speaking of the good works, put up by the now defunct Imperial Ministry of Propaganda. However, in raising he was taught by his parents that the rebels had a well and just cause; That they had somehow been wronged by the Empire in the past.

When Zhaff turned 16, it was mere hours into his birthday when he was in the Imperial Department of Spacial Vehicles office getting his provisional pilots license. He had already worked his tail off getting together enough credits for a used ship, and was ready and rearing to fly it. He had managed to take it out a few times before, but that was without the knowledge of his parents. They may not have supported the honorable Empire's mission, but they made sure to abide by its rules.

After graduation, Zhaff spent a few months putting a hyperdrive on his ship so he could see the Galaxy. One thing stopped him from meeting his goal: money. He had lost his job to a rebel terrorist attack, and hadn't been able to find additional work. He decided that his best option was to begin travel, and enlist in the military. He launched into hyperspace, and began attempting to contact the New Republic's recruitment office, to no avail. He sent in his application, and never heard back.

Frustrated at this, he got into a comlink with the Imperial Centre for Recruitment, and began talking to a recruiter there. He was in the mindset of 'forget them. If they don't want me, the polar opposite will get me.'

While in talks with the ICR, an incoming urgent message from home came through. His parents had been killed, and it wasn't clear who had done it. Running low on fuel, he couldn't turn around to attend to funerals, but instead diverted his course to the Imperial Basic Training Academy, where he soon enlisted.

Junior Enlisted Time

Zhaff quickly enlisted in the Galactic Empire, and entered the Academy a newly made orphan at the age of 21. He breezed through the academy, but like his previous schooling didn't excel, just did okay. The epitome of 'slightly above average'.

On Y11 D246 Zhaff Orikan graduated from the Academy, and was assigned to his first fleet.

From then, he rose through the ranks rather quickly, even receiving one double promotion.

Senior Enlisted Time

After a short Leave of Absence, Zhaff found himself in a new fleet with a batch of fresh out of the Academy Junior Enlisted members. He quickly took them under his wing, much as the Senior Enlisted in his first fleet did to him.

In one short month he saw each one of them promoted.
