James Lovegood

"I was born on Tatooine but raised on Corellia. My adoptive parents told me that they found me on their front door with a note. When I read it, I knew that my birth parents were poor people. They detailed the amount of debts they had with Jabba the Hutt, and that no one knew I was born and that it should stay that way. I don't know if they are still alive today but I sure wouldn't wanna go crawling back to them, I have my loyalty to the Empire."

- James Lovegood talking about his birth parents based on a note found on him as an infant

James Lovegood was a human male born on Tatooine but was raised on Corellia in 27 BBY. He was part of the Imperial Navy after joining up in 6 BBY and served as a Lieutenant up until the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. During his time as an Imperial officer, he secretly fell in love with another officer, Annabelle Nakamura.

He later served as an Admiral in the Nakamura Alignment during the Imperial Civil War in 4 ABY, and continued to serve Annabelle while trying to contain his feeling for her at the same time. He was the one who designed the Imperial IV-class Star Destroyer.

Later in 12 ABY after Bella killed the leaders of the Imperial Remnant and other warlord factions at Tsoss Beacon, he was promoted by Bella personally to the rank of Supreme Commander, and then went on to organize the military branch of the newly formed Nakamura Empire.

From 12 ABY to 20 ABY, James kept the military forces of Anna's Empire in check as well as making sure that every Imperial IV Star Destroyer and Executor II Star Dreadnought under-construction weren't behind on schedule or its workers weren't taking breaks longer than five minutes. Although he wasn't Force-sensitive like Anna, he did give a scare to those under his command as well as having an intimidating presence everywhere he went.

When the Second Cold War was announced, Galactic Empress Bella gave James orders to speed up the production and construction of their powerful Executor II-class Star Dreadnoughts and Imperial IV-class Star Destroyers above the planets where their shipyards were located, including Eclipse Station.

Nine years after the start of the Second Cold War, the Nakamura Empire finished four Executor II-class Star Dreadnoughts and he was ordered by Bella to set course for Coruscant where they made their strike against the New Republic and destroyed 75% of the New Republic Defense Fleet overall, this strike resulted in the start of the Second Galactic War. He was later then ordered to search the Core Worlds for Chief of State Leia Organa Solo who had called the Empire an "Empire of Darkness" during the Cold War due to Anna's Force-sensitivity.

In 31 ABY, he finally had confessed his feelings of affection to Annabelle who was surprised upon hearing them. He admitted that he held the feelings since 0 BBY when he first saw her during a training session while he was still in the Corulag Academy. She then returned the feelings, saying that he's been a loyal officer to her since 4 ABY.

Corulag Academy
James joined the Imperial Navy in 0 BBY after graduating from the Corulag Academy. He was given the rank of Lieutenant. During one of his sessions, Captain Annabelle Nakamura served as a teacher to tell the students about going up against a wing of Rebel starfighters, this was where he had fallen in love with Annabelle, saying that she was "beautiful and could see it in her eyes."

Imperial Service
He served as a Lieutenant onboard the ISS Valkyrie after the Battle of Yavin under the command of Captain Nakamura. There, he vowed to get to know Annabelle more, who at the time found him interesting, so that he could try to begin a romantic relationship with her. However during the Battle of Hoth, he was briefly transferred to the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer Avenger, which was ordered to pursue the Millennium Falcon. He was bothered that he was transferred but didn't let his feelings get in front of his loyalty to the Empire.

In 4 ABY, he was once again on the ISS Valkryie and was close to Annabelle as her bridge officer. Before the Battle of Endor, James had thought of confessing his affection towards Bella but was conflicted about it as it would have potential in ruining his position and current friendship with her at the time.

Nakamura Alignment
"I'll follow you to the very end, ma'am. I'll always be behind you, at all times."

- James accepting the offer made by Annabelle to join the Nakamura Alignment as an Admiral

After the deaths of both Emperor Palpatine and Supreme Commander of the Imperial Force Darth Vader, the Empire entered a state of civil war over the imperial throne. During this time, James joined Anna's alignment as an Admiral within the navy. Afterwards he was awarded with the Medallion of Service by Bella.

For the next eight years, he served the Nakamura Alignment navy and fought against the warring factions during the Imperial Civil War as well as successfully fighting off Imperial Remnant and New Republic forces in 5 ABY above the planet of Kuat. During these times, he was given command over the new models of Imperial-class Star Destroyers, the IV-class which was stronger and more powerful than their II-class counterparts.

Later in 12 ABY, he had heard that Bells was going to meet with other warlords at a meeting set up by Admiral Daala of the Imperial Remnant. He felt uneasy about the meeting but was relieved to hear that she took out Daala and the other warlords, claiming their forces and forming the Nakamura Empire.

Formation
After reorganizing the Alignment into an Empire, James was tasked by Bella to reorganize the branches of the Alignment as well as combine her, Imperial Remnant, and thirteen warlord factions' forces into the new military. He then successfully organized the combined forces into the Nakamura Military.

He was later promoted to Supreme Commander of the Nakamura Military by Bells and accepted the responsibility of maintaining this military with absolute intimidation towards its forces as well. Although he held a seat on the Nakamura Council, he rarely attended any meetings as he was busy with checking the military forces in check.

Building up power
From 12 ABY to 20 ABY, he had helped the Nakamura Empire in claiming the forces of other warlord factions such as the forces of the Pentastar Alignment, and Zsinj's Empire including many others.

During these years as well, the production of Imperial IV-class Star Destroyers and Executor II-class Star Dreadnoughts had reached the stage of being mass produced across all territories controlled by the Empire. When the Winter Executor II-class Star Dreadnought had been passed on by Bella, James was given command over it. He had thought of re-designating it but didn't.

Second Cold War
Later in 21 ABY, when Chief of State Leia Organa Solo of the New Republic Senate had called the Nakamura Empire an "Empire of Darkness," tensions between her and Bella had heated up and James was secretly given the order to speed up the production of their Executor II-class Star Dreadnoughts by hiring more workers as well as increasing the offensive capabilities of the Nakamura Military, Lovegood had complied with his given orders and did as he was told. Traveling from one side of the galaxy to the other, he stopped at nothing to fulfill his Empress' wishes.

From the next nine years, he oversaw the construction of four Executor II-class Star Dreadnoughts above Corellia, the Winter's Coming, Winter's Fall, Anakin J. Nakamura and Marie Nakamura as well as having a lot more workers for Nakamura Shipyards above Corellia. James knew that all of this was leading up an assault that his Empress was planning, which eventually became the Invasion of Coruscant.

Second Galactic War
Later in 30 ABY, after the construction of the four Executor II-class Star Dreadnoughts, Galactic Empress Anna and James had organized a large armada to strike at the heart of the New Republic Senate and to end Leia Organa Solo. With an armada of over one thousand warships, he was ordered to get the fleet to Coruscant via hyperspace to wipe out the New Republic Home Fleet above its capital, which at the time was about 75% of the New Republic Defense Fleet.

Campaign to find Leia Organa Solo
"I'll find Organa and once I do, I'll bring her to you unharmed."

- James to Annabelle during the campaign to find Leia Organa Solo

The invasion on Coruscant was successful, however Organa wasn't present on the world and he was ordered to search the Core Worlds for her and to bring her before Anna once found. This led him to directing various fleets to several planets within the Core Worlds and besiege the remaining New Republic defense fleets protecting any of the chosen planets.

Confession to Annabelle
"I fell in love with you a long time ago... this was in 0 BBY when you were teaching the class I was in about going up towards a wing of Rebel starfighters. I couldn't resist the beauty of you, Anna, and I still can't. I've held in these feelings for thirty-one years."

- James finally confessing his love for Annabelle after thirty-one years

In 31 ABY, James found the time that he and Anna were alone with each other, he went on to confess his love for his Empress and admitted how long he kept it hidden, saying that he couldn't resist her beauty. He made sure that he was ready to accept any consequences that may rose after telling her. However, he wasn't expecting that she would return the feelings which she did.

Afterwards, James and Anna begin a romantic relationship with each other while ruling the Nakamura Empire at the same time and not entirely letting their love for each other to get into the way of their plans.
