Current Position: LCM GamerRat is a flight member (FM) in Lambda Squadron, holding the 2-3 position.

Backstory

GamerRat hails from the planet of Coruscant, born to his human parents. His father was a drunk and was known for being violent. His mother died of a death sticks overdose. GamerRat, however, pursued academics and learning, and was known for his unusual height, standing at a terrifying 6' 8" or 203 cm. He was also physically strong. After his best friend, whose name GamerRat does not utter, was killed by a ragtag group of non-human aliens, GamerRat was very suspicious of non-humans, specifically Rodians, Ithorians, and Gungans. Swearing revenge, GamerRat got stronger, and unlocked an affinity with the Force after his father tried hitting him with a booze bottle.

Academics and Early Career

At age 18 GamerRat submitted exemplary testing scores, grades, and his academic record to the Imperial Army Military Academy, and was quickly accepted. GamerRat pursued an officer's career marked with developing bioweapons for the Empire. The precise weapon was developed to induce a process called autolysis in cells. Autolysis usually is a process where lysosomes, the "waste disposal" inside the cell break the damaged cell down. The bioweapon would use enzymes to trick the cell into thinking it is damaged, destroying the cells. He also briefly participated in Royce Hemlock's project in cloning Palpatine, but quit. He didn't like genetics. At age 22 he found the gang that killed his friend, and he allegedly held them in the air with the Force while injecting them with a large dosage of stolen bioweapon. They died, however, Imperial authorities located traces of the bioweapon on their decayed corpses, and they linked it to GamerRat, who, in true rodent fashion, weaseled out of it by blaming on the janitor, planting evidence, testifying and more. The janitor was executed, GamerRat earned a promotion to Captain and earning a Bronze Star. However he was transferred to a sector command position, putting down a Rebel insurgency at Orion IV. He was successful, but the Empire transferred him to Tatooine just before Endor. When the Emperor, Lord Vader, AD Piett, and Moff Jerjerrod died on the Death Star, GamerRat was forced to flee Tatooine. The Galaxy was rising against the Empire. He was lynched, convicted by Tatooine locals, and thrown into jail, however, he stole a shuttle, and through an old co-valedictorian at the Academy heard of a group of scientists working on a project called TIE Fighter: Total Conversion, a new flight simulator to replace the old, outdated TIE Fighter sim. A man named Jagged Fell III mentioned the Emperor's Hammer, and GamerRat was eager to join. Under the guise of Alexander Doenut he enlisted, and completed IWATS relatively quickly....

Scientific Military Career

After graduating from the Coruscant Naval Academy with a degree in biology, spec. exobiology, GamerRat was transferred to the Army Scientific Office. There, GamerRat engaged in several projects, such as Plan Zell, Hemlock's project to make Palpatine clones, and making force-sensitivity tests for the Emperor's Hands.

Plan Zell was the most prominent of GamerRat's projects. He was promoted to Captain and transferred to the Arquitens-Class Cruiser Schwann. On the Schwann, GamerRat, as Chief Scientific Officer, was responsible for developing a biochemical weapon for the Empire. The weapon was a liquid, that, when turned to gas and inhaled, caused cells in the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and liver to break down through autolysis. The Emperor, however, did not use the weapon, however, the weapon was useful, and GamerRat was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. He was transferred to Chandrilla in the core to maintain supremacy in space over the local Rebel Alliance cells. For his duties on the Schwann he was later awarded the Grand Order of the Emperor by Palpatine.

After Endor

The years following Endor were tough. He was on Chandrilla, the homeworld of Mon Mothma, and was caught at unawares on the surface when it was heard on the Holonet that the Emperor and Lord Vader were dead. Local Rebels captured GamerRat, and he was taken to court. Without any lawyer or defense he was soon known to be a convicted war criminal for "developing bioweapons", "developing chemical weapons", and "experimenting on animals". The animals were not sentient, but he was charged with animal cruelty. Jailed on Chandrilla, he was moved to Coruscant. Little did the New Republic know of his Force Sensitivity. He managed to hide it even from Emperor Palpatine. He broke down the cell doors, and found out after interrogating a young guard that his research papers were sent to the New Republic University of Science on Chandrilla. Back to Chandrilla... He stole a shuttle, a disguise as a Republic admiral, got to Chandrilla, and gained access to the Archinves of the University of Science. He stole the papers, searched the database for any experiments using these papers, found none, and left. He returned to Coruscant, and found it embroiled in war. Ysanne Isard was fighting the New Republic. He found where Isard's SSD was hidden on Coruscant, got in, introduced himself, gave the research papers to her, and left. He asked her to remove him from any database she could find.

Just Before the EH

Before finding the Emperor's Hammer, he looked to flying TIE's, but they were not used. He hated the First Order that was rising in the distance, as they were nothing but usurpers of the Empire. So he found a group of ex-Imperial officers and engineers headed by a man named Angel. Angel was developing a new flight simulator for use by an unknown entity. He became a resident on the planet where Angel was based, and used the simulator, called TFTC, or TIE Fighter Total Conversion, that was a modification to the Republic's X Wing Alliance simulator. There, he met somebody in a military uniform. He was introduced to Jagged Fell III of a group called the Emperor's Hammer. GamerRat was interested, eager to rejoin the Empire....

History

GamerRat, once known as Alexander Doenut, initially enlisted in Delta Squadron on March 10, 2024 (33 ABY). 1 day after joining IWATS, he completed training and was assigned to the 1-2 position in Delta. To receive his promotion to LT, he completed 4 IU courses and earned his first Certificate, the Certificate of Spacial Geography (Alpha). Just a few days later, he earned his first medal, an IAR for 6 completed IU courses. Over the course of many months, the majority of his activity involved IU courses, increasing his knowledge of the universe and the Emperor's Hammer. By the end of March, he had completed 14 courses.

Between then and Squadron (Re)Mobilization 6, he kept doing IU courses, and his efforts in ReMob 6 payed off, when Delta's 3rd flight, once the T/Ph, was switched to a T/D.

On August 21, he made a short trip to the Reserves, to keep up with real life coursework, however, the boredom of the Reserves had him back in Delta just 10 days later.

On November 21st, he finally received his long-due promotion to Lieutenant Commander. 1 week later he was assigned as the Flight Leader of Delta Flight 3. He held that position for a month and 10 days, running Competitions and giving medals and promotions to both Hera Storm and Lorn Isard.

In the New Year, 34 ABY, he noticed that the elite Lambda Squadron had 2 open positions. His dream, which had been around since September, had come true. Contacting Plif, he requested to transfer to Lambda. And it seemed that he wasn't the only Delta pilot to do so. CM Vrak of Delta 2-3 also moved to Lambda.

On January 16th, after a "questionable" day in the Lambda discord channel, he asked for a Call Sign. COL TheBlackxRanger was quick on the job, bringing back an old message of GamerRat's about not wanting to install patches for XWA. And thus LCM "Patches" GamerRat was born.
