The Meteoric Rise of the Order's Youngest General
Born on Arkanis in 1BBY, Armitage Hux, son of the former General Brendol Hux, retired Commandant of the Academy, has ascended to his father's position after the beloved General's untimely death (may the stars rest him). At age 34, General Armitage Hux is the youngest General in First Order history, and yet it would be foolish to underestimate his abilities based on his youth. Crackling with passion and determination, Armitage agreed to meet with the First Order press team and release this interview despite his busy schedule.
Prepared for the responsibility of becoming the youngest General in First Order history by a lifetime at Brendol's side, Armitage had this to say:
"I am certain that Brendol will be missed by many, and I thank all of you for your messages of condolences," Armitage responded, appearing in casual but stylish clothes that reflect his commitment to the Order's dress code standards even when off-duty. Even with the shock of Brendol's sudden and unexpected demise, Armitage seemed collected, and ready to serve, presenting a professional face for the camera. "My father's legacy is one that I am not likely to forget, but I shall strive to take the Order forward into a future greater than that of which even Brendol would have dared to dream."
Bold words from our newest General, but he does have the resume to back up his grandiose plans! We are pleased to announce that groundbreaking will begin on his greatest idea yet, the weapon Starkiller. Few plans have been publicly revealed [STAFF SHOULD NOTE THAT ALL CONFIDIENTIALITY CLAUSES ARE STILL IN EFFECT], but Starkiller is due to be as impressive as our new General, a weapon which will push back "a regime which acquiesces to disorder," Armitage notes. "The New Republic will quaver in the face of Starkiller, and we will bring the Order to its greatest heights yet!"
Though he lacks the experience of Brendol's Imperial pedigree, Armitage's vision of the future is impassioned, and he was clear to cite influence from Grand Admiral Rae Sloane, who [REDACTED], as well as Captain Phasma, of the planet [REDACTED]. Captain Phasma currently serves as Armitage's right hand on the revolutionary stormtrooper program, and declined to give a formal interview, though she did express her congratulations to our newest General.
And so shall we give the General our congratulations! The future is bright for General Armitage Hux, and we expect that his career will define both the galaxy and the First Order. Through technological advancement and dedication, Armitage Hux will bring all of us—even the unwilling deviants of the New Republic and the untamed Outer Rim— in to the future.
"I hope to show everyone the strength of my ideals," Armitage said, flashing an uncharacteristic smile, which we sadly did not catch on camera. "And that each and every member of the Order knows—when we advance, so too does the galaxy."
Inspiring words from an inspiring General!
Long Live the First Order!
