'''Julio Weston''' is a [[Corellian]] pilot currently serving as an Ensign in the [[Infinite Empire]]'s 1st Imperial Fleet. Before joining the Empire he stole ships from crowded starports and smuggled arms into GE controlled planets. After a decade of freelancing he decided to seek for a job and met Admiral [[Rar Lunko]], who gave him a job on the 1st Imperial Fleet. He has still to stand out and advance on the ranks to become a notable figure.

'''Julio Weston''' is a Major of the [[Alliance of Mercenary Consortiums]] (AMC).

Not quite of average height but not tall either, Julio Weston stands slightly above most humanoid sentients. He has long black hair with a middle part, amber eyes and fair skin. In social gatherings and personal retreats, he wears a black tailored suit, under a stylish gray cape with carmine and golden flourishes, topping off the look with black leather gloves. In military operations, he was known to wear a generic suit of [[Corellian Powersuit Armour]] provided to him by his faction as standard-issue equipment. However, from [[Year 21]] onwards, he started favoring a very rare suit of [[Clone Armour]], cobbled together from the remains of various Phase I and Phase II suits, some of which were specialized. The end result is a Phase I helmet with a rangefinder, visor and extra bolt-on layers of plasteel, and a Phase II suit of armour with a commander pauldron and kama. Just like the rest of his possessions, the suit is as much protective equipment as it is a statement of militaristic fashion, decorated with black sections, yellow accents and the ocassional [[Aurodium]]-plated piece, such as his twin [[Imperial Munitions 22T4|22T4]] blasters.

Weston started on the Galaxy working at a shipyard he himself provided with ships he stole, along with his friend Bruno. Items, droids  among other things inside were sold to make an extra profit and daily Julio would find strange things from all the places of the [[Outer Rim]].

An artist at heart, Weston always makes sure to express his individuality by decorating his personal equipment in a very distinguishable way, be it ships, weapons or even the clothing on his back. His battle attire, while conspicuous, is useful for intimidating those he would rather not attack, but must be coerced into cooperation. His "strike first, strike hard" policy means that by the time he's spotted by somebody he has no qualms about putting in the ground, it's usually too late for them to avoid this fate. In social events, he does not tend to begin conversations, but despite this he is surprisingly sociable and outgoing once approached, or once he finds a conversation to intrude on himself. He is also an avid collector, attracted to droids, ships and weapons that have been phased out of production, or whose possession is forbidden to all but members of very select groups and factions.

One of his famous stories is about his escape from angry smugglers after a failed infiltration, as told here on detail by Julio:
+
The earliest mention of Julio Weston is located in declassified files pertaining to the [[Archduchy of Tolonda]], then known as the Infinite Empire. Weston’s career on the Empire started in [[Year 15]], as one of many young riflemen recruited personally by [[Rar Lunko]] on an unspecified world, to escort him and his friends on occasional hunting trips where they would hunt creatures in order to obtain ingredients for rare narcotics. Lunko's lavish and excessive lifestyle inspired Weston, one of the more ambitious beings among the crew, to make an attempt at impressing the former pirate in order to obtain a letter of recommendation, and join the officer academy in [[Tolonda]].
  
''Yeah there was this time where i had to sneak in a drydock where some smugglers had a ship we wanted. A Starchaser, no big deal. It was rumored it had a pack of quality Ryll inside that we could sell to somebody interested on going high. Too high for most Sentients. But oh well, it‘s all for the cash. So, i went and grabbed the case (which i still keep), but from the shadows some smugglers with Telltrigs and EE-3s emerged, then pursued me. Don‘t know why didn‘t they tell their partners. Maybe they wanted to cash the bounty all for them. Whatever, i grabbed some random thing, and accidentally activated a door past which there was a TIE Fighter. Nice - i said and hopped in. Around the corner appeared the three men again, but i gunned them down and got away! Strange is, the planet belonged to the Rebel Alliance. So why was there a TIE? Like i care, i‘m alive!''“ - Julio Weston, at the Black Star Cantina “story round“
+
Several hunting trips later, Lunko noticed Weston's dutifulness, and supported him in his quest to become an officer such as himself. Notes attached to his file included the comment “Not the brightest mind, but gets stuff done”. The Corellian travelled to [[Tamra (System)|Tamra]] and began studying to achieve this end, while Rar Lunko would go on to recruit several other people for the Infinite Empire, building a rapport with them as they went through their trials. An analysis made in [[Year 18]] concludes that “it’s difficult to determine, in hindsight, if former Admiral Lunko was planning from the beginning to build himself a circle of loyal officers as a contingency plan, or was truly interested in helping disadvantaged youths hoping for a better life outside their crime-infested and war-ridden homeworlds”, noting the [[Weequay]]’s own past as one in [[Sriluur]].
  
Situations like this happened at all times, and Julio told stories about no less of these situations at random cantinas, clubs and even in interrogation rooms to make time for “the guys“ to break him free.
+
Julio Weston obtained consistently good results in the academy. This and Lunko’s growing influence as the newest Commanding Officer of the fleet meant that by late [[Year 16]], he was allowed an early entry into service, joining the [[Second Galactic Civil War]] as an Ensign of the Infinite Empire, then affiliated with the [[Galactic Alliance]]. Reporting directly to Lunko, Weston performed in a number of scouting operations behind enemy lines and in deep space, to intimidate signatories of the [[Imperial Union]] and find a new system for [[Uther von Kaldreon]] to rule over, respectively. During this time, he met interesting characters such as fellow pilot [[Frek Williham]] and notable entrepreneur [[Felidae Takeda]]. Weston, Wiliham and Takeda were noted by Internal Affairs agents to speak with each other in an unknown tongue, giving way to theories that they could be [[Sith]]. However, [[Force|Force-sensitive]] acquaintances of Kaldreon would soon disprove this theory, sensing no connection between the Force and the pilots, leaving their overseers to investigate further.

Another story of Julio‘s, about Weston‘s and his friend‘s misfortunes at [[Coruscant]].
 
 
''“There also was this time Bruno and i went to Coruscant to make some dough. CORUSCANT! Home to the Emperor, full of Stormtroopers as armed as a Gladiator Walker. So cold and scary... when you are not carrying a blaster. What we did was the exact opposite of being unarmed. We even brought in a rocket launcher. All hail the mighty Class 720 Freighter. Back on topic. We went to the projects, and started selling guns. Just as easy as that. But suddenly this asshole appears of nowhere and demands we pay him cause “dis mah land nigga and no fool are gonna sell here for free“. Weapons pointed, finger in the trigger. But suddenly i noticed he was smoking, and that there was a flammable gas canister next to him. Do you know what happened next? Neither do i. We ran away, there were too much of them. Somebody blasted that idiot‘s face on the confusion tho. So sad it wasn‘t us.“‘‘ -Julio on his nice trip to the Galactic Capital City

'''Operation: I'm sick of this, let's get the f**k outta here!'''
 
 
10 years after their beginning on the ship robbing matter, Bruno and Julio decided to leave, as they had not advanced except for their pickpocketing, ship and vehicle hijacking skills. But they were short on money as usual, as their boss didn't pay them much. So as he ordered the capture of three [[N-1 Starfighter|N1 Starfighters]], one of the most valued starfighter models due to their rarity, they decided to betray him instead, and get paid big credits to live the big life. The approach is as told here by Julio:
 
 
“''We located the ships near Hapan territory. The museum the ships were going to were property of the [[Hapes Consortium]] itself, so they sent escorts to the starport the N1s were docked in. [[Miy‘ Til Interceptor|Miy‘Til fighters]] to be exact, an escape attempt on those N1s would be a suicide when confronting them. Primarily cause we thought a museum piece would not have their weapons ready to fire. So we gave them a distraction. Boss hired a group of suicidal idiots who after a long battle with the escorts managed to damage leader and his wingman, with the third fighter being intact, but having to move in group as ordered. So while they went to the nearest battleship available to change fighters, we had more time before their arrival. Scene fades to us now. Three astromechs approached the ones near the N1s and after ionizing them, replaced them. A crazy guy entered the hangar with a blaster rifle, and started shooting, drawing the museum guards and the ships‘ owner himself towards him, weapons drawed. A firefight starts, as i and Bruno approached two of the ships, not before disabling the third. The crazy guy, pilot of the third ship, was loyal to the Boss. Too loyal for our escape plans. We turned them on and took off, without gunning the guards and owner. Bye, bye, loyalist! After we ascended to the atmosphere, we realized we still had a problem. The [[Hapan]] escort unit was back! And in front of us. But to my surprise, the proton torpedo launchers still worked, and they were loaded! Guess the museum liked authenticity. I launched two, Bruno did too, and as they were not informed of the weapons loadout of the N1s, they dispersed in surprise, giving enough time to get past them and enter hyperspace to [[Tatooine]]. Firing two more torpedos each, we finished confusing the Hapans, one of which was hit. Leader and other ship wasted enough time calling for rescue units and all that shit for us to get away unnoticed, and as we arrived to the shipyard a week later i found it hard to leave her alone. I mean, the ship. A beautiful piece of art, as with all [[Naboo]] ships. Will buy one someday. At least we got like, ten million [[Credits]]! And deciding to leave the job search for later, we dispersed and started living the bling way. I know, we were nowhere near being actually rich. But it sure was fun to play trillionaire on a rental yacht full of crazy stuff.''“ - Julio Weston, on how he got his hands on one of the most rare starfighters on the Galaxy

Julio Weston is a Major of the Alliance of Mercenary Consortiums (AMC). After a brief time on the Infinite Empire, he spent an equally short time among those who would later go on to establish The Blood Razors, and an even shorter time among the founders of ZolCorp (renamed Drearian Defense Conglomerate), before finally finding true comradeship in the AMC.

Appearance

Not quite of average height but not tall either, Julio Weston stands slightly above most humanoid sentients. He has long black hair with a middle part, amber eyes and fair skin. In social gatherings and personal retreats, he wears a black tailored suit, under a stylish gray cape with carmine and golden flourishes, topping off the look with black leather gloves. In military operations, he was known to wear a generic suit of Corellian Powersuit Armour provided to him by his faction as standard-issue equipment. However, from Year 21 onwards, he started favoring a very rare suit of Clone Armour, cobbled together from the remains of various Phase I and Phase II suits, some of which were specialized. The end result is a Phase I helmet with a rangefinder, visor and extra bolt-on layers of plasteel, and a Phase II suit of armour with a commander pauldron and kama. Just like the rest of his possessions, the suit is as much protective equipment as it is a statement of militaristic fashion, decorated with black sections, yellow accents and the ocassional Aurodium-plated piece, such as his twin 22T4 blasters.

Personality and traits

An artist at heart, Weston always makes sure to express his individuality by decorating his personal equipment in a very distinguishable way, be it ships, weapons or even the clothing on his back. His battle attire, while conspicuous, is useful for intimidating those he would rather not attack, but must be coerced into cooperation. His "strike first, strike hard" policy means that by the time he's spotted by somebody he has no qualms about putting in the ground, it's usually too late for them to avoid this fate. In social events, he does not tend to begin conversations, but despite this he is surprisingly sociable and outgoing once approached, or once he finds a conversation to intrude on himself. He is also an avid collector, attracted to droids, ships and weapons that have been phased out of production, or whose possession is forbidden to all but members of very select groups and factions.

History

I - At Emperor Kaldreon’s Service

The earliest mention of Julio Weston is located in declassified files pertaining to the Archduchy of Tolonda, then known as the Infinite Empire. Weston’s career on the Empire started in Year 15, as one of many young riflemen recruited personally by Rar Lunko on an unspecified world, to escort him and his friends on occasional hunting trips where they would hunt creatures in order to obtain ingredients for rare narcotics. Lunko's lavish and excessive lifestyle inspired Weston, one of the more ambitious beings among the crew, to make an attempt at impressing the former pirate in order to obtain a letter of recommendation, and join the officer academy in Tolonda.

Several hunting trips later, Lunko noticed Weston's dutifulness, and supported him in his quest to become an officer such as himself. Notes attached to his file included the comment “Not the brightest mind, but gets stuff done”. The Corellian travelled to Tamra and began studying to achieve this end, while Rar Lunko would go on to recruit several other people for the Infinite Empire, building a rapport with them as they went through their trials. An analysis made in Year 18 concludes that “it’s difficult to determine, in hindsight, if former Admiral Lunko was planning from the beginning to build himself a circle of loyal officers as a contingency plan, or was truly interested in helping disadvantaged youths hoping for a better life outside their crime-infested and war-ridden homeworlds”, noting the Weequay’s own past as one in Sriluur.

Julio Weston obtained consistently good results in the academy. This and Lunko’s growing influence as the newest Commanding Officer of the fleet meant that by late Year 16, he was allowed an early entry into service, joining the Second Galactic Civil War as an Ensign of the Infinite Empire, then affiliated with the Galactic Alliance. Reporting directly to Lunko, Weston performed in a number of scouting operations behind enemy lines and in deep space, to intimidate signatories of the Imperial Union and find a new system for Uther von Kaldreon to rule over, respectively. During this time, he met interesting characters such as fellow pilot Frek Williham and notable entrepreneur Felidae Takeda. Weston, Wiliham and Takeda were noted by Internal Affairs agents to speak with each other in an unknown tongue, giving way to theories that they could be Sith. However, Force-sensitive acquaintances of Kaldreon would soon disprove this theory, sensing no connection between the Force and the pilots, leaving their overseers to investigate further.
