Wittiza
Son of a Dead Nation
AGE// Twenty-Five Rotations
RANK// None, former Lieutenant of Sons of Ession, Twelfth Div, Third Brigade
Status// Court martialed and sentenced to execution for acts of sedition against the state and "overzealous extra judicious" punishment of civilian populations. The lieutenant was freed by his comrades and took much of his brigade with him in his flight, all of which have been tried for treason in absentia. The renegades were lost after fleeing the Dalonbian Sector.
PHYSICAL_CHARACTERISTICS// Average height, five-ten, large frame. Blonde hair, blue eyes, one of which is cybernetic. Most often garbed in Essonian war-plate.
NOTED_PERSONALITY_TRAITS// Personable, reportedly charismatic. Overtly passionate and outspoken about his beliefs, more so stubborn. Tactically and strategically confident yet callous when faced with the big picture. Kind to those he agrees with and cruel to those that pay him any difference. Suspected atheism, noted by superiors several times for nihilistic comments on the state of the Ashla and other Gods. Noted xenophobia toward foreign cultures and alien species. Grim humor, values over practicality, valor in combat, and a disdain for "those cowards too thin-blooded to pick up a rifle" define his service.
"A soldier worth his weight in gold and a starling tactician for the Sons, were he able to set aside his pride, listen to his superiors, and shut up with the politics." - Captain Decimus, Twelfth Division
CLOSING_EXCERPT_TRIAL_062_VERDICT: GUILTY
What would you have me say, vaunted judges? That I'm sorry for carrying out the crusade? That I regret fulfilling the mission of the Kaiser and stopping a gaggle of terrorists before they struck? Should I have waited for them to spread their lies? Let their cults whisper into the ears of our children and sit on my hands until they'd blown up a hospital?
I don't need to tell you what these animals are like. You all remember the occupation. The slaves they took, the cities they burned, the sacrifices they carried out in the streets to their dark gods. The Sith are beasts, and we are charged to be their butchers, but you would urge caution.
When a nexu is poised to maim your wife, do you wait for it to strike so that it might be justice? Must we always wait for people to die before we respond? If I am to be judged for preventing a tragedy then do so, because I cannot in good conscience recognize this court's authority if it is so deluded.
My brothers saw them building effigies to the so-called Sith'ari. We heard them offer their prayers and make their pacts. Those people were already tainted! Every last one of them, down to the youths. They would have taken up arms against us and spread their disease the moment we left the city. Better it was burned!
In time, when the cancer of the Bogan spreads once again through our lands, I will be vindicated! You will see, and by then it will be far too late. Tonight, I go to the Ashla with open arms and a head held high. Paradise awaits me, and the lot of you will languish here as the rot sets in.
When it all burns and Ession crumbles under the Sith jackboot once again, you will know I was right.
CLOSING_NOTES// LT. Wittiza was sentenced to chemically induced euthanasia following his final words. Several military personnel from the Sons of Ession colluded to extract him from our custody and stole several war ships in their escape. Pursuit was not noted as being highly valuable given ongoing conflicts with Sith forces. Tabs on the renegades were lost in the far galactic east, though tales of his cohort travelling from system to system as a band of marauders and mercenaries for hire found their way to our intelligence networks.
