Indeed. I could have left with my life, having nothing to show for it, and also left my team, my crew to fend for themselves. I found the idea abhorrent. Unlike plenty of Imperial officers, I took pains to know my subordinates, to cultivate and appreciate each of their unique talents.
And I had a larger reason to survive: I needed to bring a message back to my people without being found out and killed. Imperial transmissions were easily tracked, and finding a signal strong enough when I was already suspect for not being human was a challenge I had difficulty in conquering.
I began to realize I could start sending my own officers out to both Chiss and Rebel space. Doubtless a few of them are in your ranks now.
