His new identity is that of an obscure, impoverished minor noble studying at the Empire's Starship Command Academy. His territory lies in a barren region on the edge of the Empire, where resources are scarce and the population is sparse. All it has in abundance are junk planets scattered throughout the star sector, their ruined surfaces glimmering in the dark of space.
