Ok my opinion
In the past i have roleplayed a little
Roleplaying is peoples idea of things so here is my idea of how Daiho fits in with Imperial ways.
Its extremely easy to say Daiho could never be a imperial general. But remember for every reason you can give for him not being one i can give a alternative reason. Im good at that
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Always two sides to a story
Daiho is Mon Calamari and maybe as a way of undermining the security of the mon calamari homeworld from the inside or maybe too increase favour with the mon calamari ( a rebel sympathiser race) the imperials have made a statement by promoting Daiho to a imperial rank and announced their supposed integration of alien races to increase its power and trust.
"the rebels have always tried to make public our persecution of other races but only today we promoted our first non human mon calamari to prove we are accepting of any race who embraces our imperial rule"
Freja Covell Imperial Major General
it could happen
It is a well known fact that the imperials employed the underworlds biggest personalities (of different races) to show their power and persuasion to others in the star wars galaxy. Boba Fett Bossk Dark Prince xisor of the black sun criminal organisation. If it was going to benefit the imperials if a mon calamari was a general in the imperial army the imperials would promote a alien to that rank.
Also inside Star wars galaxies we are led to believe we are now forward in time in the star wars universe. Maybe the imperials are now regaining their future power by gaining the "aliens" of the star wars worlds trust ?
I like reading star wars books and i can see lots of ways the imperials would make changes to become the only power in the star wars galaxy. If the imperials managed to loose two death stars who could know what they would do to regain or increase their foothold along the way ?
I agree with a lot of what you said carlus but as much as i laugh at people in hawtpants with imperial general in their biography i laugh as much at strict roleplayers. If their is one thing about the dark emperor that is certain it is that he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted and if that involves manipulating or recruiting a alien race to wipe out more rebels, that is im sure what he would do ?
Auren (human) is from a roleplay sense a mercenary who is employed by the imperials to get a job done. You will see her in imperial crusader armor, maybe given to her by her employers ? Is auren working towards joining the official imperial ranks seeing it as a way to a better life or is she making the best of a bad lot ?
Mooke (Zabrak) is a alien zabrak that has medical knowledge that can benefit the imperials : as such she has a place in the imperial ranks even if she doesn't hold a imperial rank. She knows her place and the imperials know hers (treating their troops) In roleplay events she may wear imperial armor to hide her race and blend in or be used as a mercenary or a outsider who has been brought along to increase the imperials chances of winning ?
remember General Grievous
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Grievous
He wasn't human he was
kaleesh / cyborg who was brought into the battle as a chief antagonist by the emporers orders
The Kaleesh are a nomadic and politically neutral race from the planet Kalee. A bipedal reptilian species, the Kaleesh have reddish brown scaly skin and cover almost all their bodies to protect them from Kalee's blistering sun, usually leaving only their four-fingered claws exposed. Most wear masks carved from the skulls of their most feared creatures such as the karabac and the mumuu.
During the Huk War, the Republic sided with their enemy, destroying their economy and deepening the already hard times hurting their homeworld. The Intergalactic Banking Clan, headed by San Hill, later came in and helped them out of their depression through a deal for the Kaleesh to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS). One Kaleesh cyborg, General Grievous became the feared military leader of the CIS during The Clone Wars. Although his original form was not shown in Episode III, Grievous had statues of his former self in his home at Vassek during the Clone Wars. One statue remains unchanged, but two more have the golden arms and mask that Grievous has as a cyborg appearance
Also this was taken from wikipedia
With the dawn of the Galactic Empire, the Mon Calamari initially welcomed the Imperial forces when they entered their system. However, the Imperials saw the people of Dac—the Mon Calamari in particular—as natural slaves whose industries and resources could be used to power the Imperial war machine. The Imperial leadership may also have been suspicious because both of Dac's senators signed the Petition of 2000. Aided by the sabotage of the planetary shields by Quarren saboteurs such as Seggor Tels, the Empire swiftly conquered Mon Calamari.
There is a lot of negative things about the imperials and the mon calamari
but like the wind cant everyone change their mind ? and aren't we all pawns in the emperors game ?
Then again Carlus you might be right
