Background: Even as a young boy Herald loved playing games where he had to think, but no, sadly he never became good at Chess. He could play, but he was never perfect. He preferred checkers. It was faster and still allowed for pauses. He's always worked with quantity rather than quality. Herald was born in 39 BBY. In his early years he lived on Tattooine, grabbing scraps from the Mos Espa runs for Pod Racing and would sell or keep some. He saved up until he would get a speeder and do more jobs for scrap dealers. He was smart and patient. Eventually he had obtained a small transport and did trade runs between Dantooine and Tattooine, until around 22 BBY, where he saw an opportunity to sign up into the Republic. He was a V-19 Torrent Starfighter pilot set in a squad of auxiliary support, but he never really got to see any action. That lasted until mid 19 BBY, where he was forced into the battle of Boz Pity. Where he was training each day, and getting better, he had nothing to fight. But his superiors decided to boost him up and see how he would suit in an Arquitens-class light cruiser, as just a fighter pilot was going to win a war, they needed a commander. He successfully defended the Acclamators that were moving in by defeating the enemies fighters. But his ship became heavily damaged. He could no longer make any jumps, at least for awhile. He had to retreat to neutral space to make the repairs. But once he could return, the battle was already over. He took his new orders and returned to Coruscant where he had received the ship. He wasn't exactly pulled into anymore wars after that. There were minor skirmishes he would help in, but he didn't become a main fighter. Eventually around came the new order and he had to make a choice. The Republics reign was over, and now the Empire would rise. He wasn't in the Republic to save people or be a hero, he wanted a ship to command, soldiers to order, he wanted respect. While he received the high ranks from the Republic, he didn't get what he wanted. The Empire was going to offer him everything. The ship, the soldiers, the rank, the money. So he chose the Empire. But he didn't want an Acclamator. The ship he aought out was a new ship of the line that wasn't showing promise as a frontline man. It was being put down but he appreciated its style and that it had a hangar. It didn't cost the Empire really anything to let him have it, but at least he'd be able to be alongside heavy hitters in a fight.
Reason for Joining the Empire: Herald always had a great knack for strategy and tactics while in a ship and he always loved it. He decided to join the Empire because it would have been entirely easier to gain command of troops and crews and gain a ship of his own. And with his intelligence he knew he'd be thrown into war, but he knew how to survive. He didn't have a liking for killing living creatures, but as long as he had his ship and was on the winning side, it didn't matter.
