Heth invaded. It changed everything.
I'd lead a life of peace, believing there to be no need for me to follow my military family in their footsteps. With Foiritan on the brink of giving the most generous trade deal ever made in New Eden to the Caldari, I didn't believe war at all likely, and I believed the Federation defences up to the task of defending our empire.
When Caldari warships came and started burning my home, I knew I had to do something.
Having lead a life as a research biologist, I knew my world well from the many field observation trips I'd made. My assistance was asked for by a group of Federal Marines assigned to Vivanier, and I found that having taken such a role on and succeeded I felt the need to do more for the cause.
A research scientist already has most of the technical qualifications required to become an immortal, and I had connections in the FDU - my brother had served for years as a Luminaire General, and my parents were both military. I got fast-tracked through the immortal soldier program, and I was one of the first boots on the ground.
I knew I'd made the right choice when I watched the hated titan be burnt out of the Luminaire skies and saw the smiling faces of the people I'd saved from the Caldari.

Roden did save Luminaire VII.

That the admiral was ultimately executed for doing the human thing says much about the Caldari.
Also, let's not even pretend the Amarr would stand for it if the Minmatar put a titan in orbit over the Amarr homeworld and threatened to glass it.

Evasion.
If they did, you would not let it stand. Neither did we. Will you truly be so hypocritical as to call us out on a situation in which you would have acted exactly the same?

Sure. Decent thing to do.
Hardly representative of the leadership as a whole though, considering they executed her for it.
And of course there was the not-particularly-small matter that they were there in the first place. I'm not particularly inclined to call someone a lifesaver when they hold a gun to someone's head and choose not to fire.
