In recent months, he has overseen the resurgence of the fleet with the release of Star Wars: Squadrons and the emerging TIE Fighter Total Conversion. His guidance and insights with the Group Commanders, High Admiral Plif and Grand Master Montte, have enabled innovation within the Emperor’s Hammer TIE Corps and Emperor’s Hammer Dark Brotherhood.

Moreso, I’ve known Grand Admiral Rapier for the entirety of his career within the Emperor’s Hammer. We’ve shared many conversations through the years regarding his career, the fleet, gaming, socializing in the fleet, and our personal lives. Never once has he spoken about himself, such as advancing his career, getting promoted, seeking an award. First and last he speaks about the experience of everyone else. Are they having fun? How will they enjoy an activity? What can we do to improve their time?
He’s often told me his goal is to be the last one out of the room, turning the lights off, when it’s time to say goodbye. I don’t expect he’ll ever say goodbye.
