Mara is tightlipped about her place in the Empire and he simply lets that go. It's a pain point, obviously, and the Empire still had secrets even after all these years. ]
After the Empire fell, fractions of it went into hiding. They built a new force, modeled much the same, but more unified. The Republic Senate made too many blunders in the time after Endor; this new force would bring order back into the picture. Both Kylo and myself serve that military body, though in different conditions. [ Much different. ]
I've not been told why he came to the First Order, except that he was under the tutelage of a Force user named Snoke, who subsequently doled out command from the top of the chain. That placed Ren on a similar rank standing as mine– he was to take care of anything Force related and I would handle the military. Split functions. We've been working together for about five years now.
