Summary
How many stories had Eli heard, out there in Wild Space and the Outer Rim, about the cruelty of slavers? How many times had his parents warned him of the routes frequently traversed by them, routes to be avoided at all costs?
He had joined the Empire because it had seemed like a legitimate career path. Because they governed the galaxy, and looked after its people. They were legitimate. No secrets or shadows with moral implications, like the rebel cells that they dealt with, no uncalled-for strikes on civilians under their protection, unlike the insurgents and rebels who opposed them, chasing a futile dream with no regard for innocent lives.
Eli wondered now how true his picture of the rebellion was. How true his picture of the Empire was.
