The Imperial Navy used a tried-and-tested method to trick unsuspecting young men to join the Marine Corps. The Press Gang. Dalyn Ruebeck was no exception; he was deceived along with others into taking The Imperial Coin. The Navy was ordered to put down an uprising on a backwater rim planet called Jathryk. The limited training he'd received made him little more than cannon fodder. The chance of surviving his first military engagement was slim; he would become another negative entry in Imperial Navy records.
