Arvin Lucan is in fact one of the main characters in this epic story, of which this first entry; "Empire's Sword", is only the beginning. I chose that name as the "Author", as he personally witnessed much of what happened with his own eyes. Other accounts were passed on to him by way of other witnesses. I merely penned the words of events unfolding as seen through his eyes, and those of many, many others. I am of no particular import, nor is my own name, for unlike General Lucan, I was not there...he was.
To the best of my knowledge, General Lucan was born of the Fine Warrior Guild House of Lucan two hundred and fourteen years before the Galactic Empire's (official), rebirth. He was educated (by his Blessed Mothers), in the history of the Guild and the arts of war. So adept a young pupil was he, that he was voted Full Captain of a Guild Company at the extremely early age of 46, a lad barely into his adult years. His repute as a Guild Captain is second only to that of Captain (Later Captain-General), Grey, another main force in this continuing epic.
Of General Lucan's later life, one may only speculate, for his life's adventures continue with "Empire's Crown", "Empire's Trial", and others yet to come.
