Biography
---Personal History: Once a proud son of Master Gardener Yuritaro, Hanasuke was taken from his homeworld during his early years during a raid by Makurth initiates of a sweeping Sith movement. As the cruisers passed overhead, the Makurth stole the most brilliant minds among the Ho'Din as well as the children who were no older than 10. The rest of the settlement was swept up in the attack and an orbital bombardment had finished off the surrounding areas leaving nothing but desolation.
Hanasuke was herded into a room full of other young students of various races onboard the Sith vessel, each one staring at the other in wonderment. It had likely been the first time any of them had met. The Cultists gave the children their dark robes for training and set them about meial tasks about the ship. For the time, they were to be slave labor.
As the years passed, the Cultists began to weed out the Force-sensitives among them. Luckily, Hanasuke had a great aptitude with plants and was placed in the artificial gardens on the ship. All of the others who were not as adept with the Force were given armor, weapons, and sent to raid settlements just as they had done on Moltok. Hanasuke worked alongside another Ho'Din taken from a colonized world who served as his mentor. His mentor was known only as Tel'Vaasis, and he taught him many religious rites that had not been taught to him as a child. Each day they would pray to Dinegia to guide them through their captivity with the Sith, but the more they prayed, the more futile it seemed.
There came a time much later when the Sith vessel was attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong who quickly boarded and struggled against the Sith and their warriors. Hanasuke fought bravely against them, only to have witnessed the deaths of many of the children (now adults) he had met on his first time upon the ship. Backed into a corner, Hanasuke was met by his fatally wounded Mentor who ushered him into one of the many escape pods. No words were exchanged, merely a glance, and Hanasuke was rushed out into the blackness of space within a cramped pod.
Until now, he had remained dormant among many agricultural worlds, studying starcharts in his spare time whenever he could find them. He would stow away on various vessels or barter passage to such worlds, hoping that to honor his Mentor's memory, he could do so through the admiration of flora.
---Military History: N/A
---Traumatic Experiences: Having to leave his Mentor behind at the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong

Russton "Russ" "Xel" Xelcron

Russton Xelcron

Name: Russton Xelcron

Nickname: Russ or Xel

Gender: Male

Age: 21

Species: Devaronian

Homeworld: Nar Shaddaa

Affiliation: Whom ever is paying his bills.

Appearance

Weapons: Mandalorian Blaster

Starship

NONE

Biography

---Personal History: Russ was born on Nar Shaddaa and learned how to Hack the low level security systems at a young age. Once he learned how to bypass the systems he became a good thief. He'd steal something worth alot of money and then end up selling it to someone who wanted it. It made for a great way to be noticed by the Underworld. Soon he started tinkering with rewriting system commands and reprogrammed old computer terminals that he found in the lower levels of the city that weren't being used for anything.

As he grew older he started to gain a reputation and was taken under the wing of a smuggler who took him off of Nar Shaddaa. The smuggler was someone named Jack Larks. Not his real name, but it worked. Russ learned how to repair ships while on board Jacks ship and slowly began to tinker with the systems of a ship as well as the engines and other technical know hows needed to be a mechanic for a ship.

It was only a matter of time before droids became the new obsession and he started reprogramming the droids on the ship too. Jack, later had a run in with the New Republic and was arrested for criminal affiliations and smuggling narcotics to a penal colony.

Russ was also arrested and he thought that was the end of him, until someone figured out he was a pretty good slicer/tech/programmer. He was given a light sentence due to having not known anything aobut the smuggling narcotics and was placed on probation. All Authorities were notified so no matter where he went, whether it be IR or GA he would have to behave lest he violate his pobation and be given a harsher sentence. He was given an honest living by a man who ran a docking station on an old Defense Platform.

His honest living didn't last more than a few months, before he ended up in a brawl after winning a Mandalorian Blaster in a card game. Drunk and angry, the loser attacked Russ and then Russ killed him.

He was arrested soon afterward and then placed in a cell awaiting trial.

Now, at the age of 19 he'd been arrested twice in as many months. The trial rapidly approached and his devilish appearance worked against him. He was sentenced to one year aboard Traest Kre'Feys ship. A light sentence some would say, had they never met Traest Kre'Fey. Traest was a hardliner from the military and followed his own rules as well as he did military rules. He rana tight ship and allowed nothing to be let by him, and no deed was gotten away with that had ill intentions of ill conceived consequences. Once of traest's ship, you were as good as a prisoner if you broke a rule.

Many wondered how such was able to take place whilst a war raged on. Russ even wondered too. It turns out it was for the better. He learned some discipline and gained more knowledge aboutt he things he loved, having aces to GA technologies and their manuals. He made many copies of the Tech manuals and accumulated from the other Techs a set of tools to call his own. They could see Russ was an eager learner, and was quick to learn what they taught him.

Once the war was signaledto be over Russ was allowed to leave. Russ, finding himself on Coruscant, found an old K-wing buried in the wreckage and began to strip it for parts, deciding to test his abilities and earn some credits. He was successful enough that he got most of the things tested and found they worked. So he began stripping the good parts out. but he needed crates to put them in, so he started doing odd jobs for the Galactic Alliance guys rebuilding Coruscant. Considering he didn't have any money and was little to know good at all being a jack of all trades a master of none, he did well.

Trading labor for crates, he found he enjoyed the odd jobs, but wanted to do more than just get what he needed. He heard the Jedi Outcasts were on Coruscant, and many claimed they were the real Heroes of the Yuuzahn Vong war. So he has begun to search for a way to join them.

Equipment carried: Russ has a Green Tool kit he carries that has tools used for work on ships/computer systems/droids and allows for repairs, upgrades and other tasks that he seems proficient in.
Green Tool Kit contents: Hand Held Beam Drill, Circuit Scanner, Decoder, Screw and Bolt Drivers, Plasma Torch, Prybar, Static Control Band, Pliers, Hammer Set, Screw Gun, Screw Gun Bits, Flash Drive, Hydro Spanner, Technical Manuals on Datadisks, Utility Knife.

Biography
---Personal History: Growing up on the dusty and desolate lands of Ord Mantell proved to be a sour start to life. Greth was an only child living with a single mother in the slums of Worlport. The nearby junkyards were a frequent nuisance and the planet's tendency to attract mercenaries and smugglers made homelife difficult and dangerous. Her mother, working a cocktail waitress at a local cantina, was also fairly poor and found it quite difficult to support Greth and any education she was to have. As a result, Greth spent most of her childhood being observant of her surroundings and teaching herself what she could through datapads and other historical documents.

When it was discovered that Greth possessed a special gift, she was quickly whisked away from her poor living arrangements on Mantell and thrust into the hustle and bustle of Coruscant, where she was to train as a Jedi. But the further she got into her training, the more she found herself disagreeing with the morals and doctrine in which the Jedi were supposed to uphold. After a year, she left the Order to pursue her own desires and ended up with the military.

Intel was her calling and she found herself working in the field when the Yuuzhan Vong invasion started. She was personally assigned to observe the Vong from a distance and try to understand their culture. What she uncovered was death and destruction and fearing for her life, she fled once more into isolation. It wasn't until the end of the war that she resurfaced back on Ord Mantell to find work and tend to her aging mother.
---Military History: She worked as an Intel operative for the first half of the Vong invasion until the fall of Coruscant. With the enemy appearing to have a clear victory, she fled the Alliance and went into hiding.
---Traumatic Experiences: During the war, Greth witnessed several acts of mutilation and human sacrifice while working as an undercover agent. It rattled her so much, that she became fearful of her own life and abandoned her work for the Alliance. Despite her fear, she is determined to carry out revenge on the Vong for how they treated the beings of the galaxy.

Biography
---Personal History: Aden Kya was born in 7 ABY to an ex-Imperial sympathiser and an ex-Techno Union foreman on Fondor. Everything was atypically enjoyable, until the Reborn Emperor re-conquered the system and his mother rejoined the Empire. He never saw her again. His father, heartbroken, threw himself into his work, eventually becoming Senator for the nearby Tallaan system, and sent Aden to boarding school there. Aden wrote to his father weekly, and his father returned his messages, first weekly, then month, and then, by late 24 ABY, yearly - if he was lucky. Feeling abandoned, Aden played up at school, nearly destroying his fathers political career - who responded by vindictively having his son 'lost' in the Tapani slave crews. He was at Fondor when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked, and was taken captive during the first battle. Aden was recaptured, eventually, though he rarely speaks of that time period, nor about his saviors. He joined up when he was sufficiently recovered, late in the war, having discovered in the meantime that he was Force sensitive, and having been taken care of by his grandmother - who he lost to the Yuuzhan Vong. After the war he was discharged, and sought a new role - but the Jedi Order was far too strict for him, and his homeworld so constantly battered by the war that his faith in democracy was completely shattered. The murkier Jensaarai welcomed him, but he eventually left them, too. He is seeking a place in the galaxy, having been rejected all his life - he is a perpetual Outcast.
---Military History: He had a dint in a military squadron to the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War; took part in the Battles of Mon Calamari and Yuuzhan'tar, and he was demobbed upon the wars end - his mentality was described 'insufficient' for long-term peacekeeping roles. His piloting skills are not entirely developed, but he has kept up his practice, managing to hang on to his personal TIE Interceptor when being demobbed.
---Traumatic Experiences: Rejected by his father and left to rot in the slave pits of Fondor, and his time with the Yuuzhan Vong he does not speak of. The loss of his grandmother is high in his mind, and the red blade he inherited from her.

Zayl Kraer

Name: Zayl Kraer
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Species: Human
Homeworld: Chandrila
Affiliation: SpecForce Infiltrators
Personality
---Traits: Quiet, calm, and patient which could be the product of his previous occupation. Also prefers a “lone wolf” sort of mindset but he has no problem with socializing with others and helping them out with one of their own problems that may be plaguing them.
---Likes: Reading, slugthrowers, the quiet, target practice, the outdoors.
---Dislikes: The usual kind of things that first got him into service; the evils that an individual or a race – whether human or Vong or other – can do to another such as torture, genocide, and other injustices.
---Habits: He likes to play with his knife, whether to just take it out of its sheath and fiddle with it or run a cleaning cloth over it even if it isn’t necessary.
Appearance
---Skin Color: Tan
---Hair Color: Black with silver streaks that had been dyed into it.
---Eye Color: Gray
---Clothing: When off-duty he tends to not care about his appearance, throwing on a tunic, pants, some boots, and being settled with that. When duty calls, he wears a uniform similar to his time as an Infiltrator; black bodysuit, tactical vest, combat boots, belt, and gloves.
---Other Attributes: His right leg has multiple scarring due to bacta treatment having come too late and a refusal of having them removed. The two, more prominent, scars are the ones on the lower portion of his leg with one running diagonally across the front and another going all the way up from his ankle to kneecap on the side. The kneecap itself has its own small cluster of scars, hinting to a shattered kneecap where the bones managed to burst through the skin.
Weapons: A vibroknife that is usually sheathed at his side, a SG-4 blaster rifle that can be found in an oversized leg holster, and a Tusken Cycler Rifle that he had managed to acquire during a mission on Tatooine that he had modified with a few upgrades – such as a scope, improved firing chamber, strengthened barrel, and flash suppressor – to turn it into a full-fledged sniper rifle.

Biography
---Personal History: Having been born on Chandrila, Zayl was born in a place that suffered relatively little compared to the rest of the galaxy. Ever since Operation Shadow Hand that had been led by the Reborn Emperor, Chandrila had never once been invaded or attacked again. Even during the Yuuzhan Vong War the planet had been ignored by the alien invaders due to its lack of military value. However, it was used as a haven for thousands of refugees from several New Republic worlds that hadn’t been so lucky.

It was the suffering that had taken place during the Vong War and the threat of galaxy-wide genocide that had convinced Zayl to leave the protection of his homeworld and dive headfirst into the bloody conflict by signing up for the New Republic military. Proving to be an excellent marksman in basic training, Zayl was trained to become a sniper due to his high scores. Unfortunately, no matter how well of a marksman he was, he couldn’t single-handedly stop the tragedies that occurred on countless worlds or the breakdown of the New Republic government. More often than not he would find himself on a shuttle that would take him away from one doomed world and bring him to the next. Alas, as history would record, even Coruscant couldn’t stand up to the invaders as it finally fell and, with it, the last shred of what had once been a diseased and rotted New Republic.

Fortunately, despite the dire straits, what remained of the New Republic came together and reformed into the new Galactic Alliance that proved to be much more suited to combat the Yuuzhan Vong. And while the government met some reformations, so too did the military as Zayl found himself being one of the several candidates that had been chosen to help revive the SpecForce 5th Regiment, the Infiltrators. Having been dissolved after the Battle of Endor, the usefulness of Infiltrators soon came back with the Yuuzhan Vong having become stretched thin due to their conquests. Drifting behind enemy lines, Zayl and his fellow Infiltrators sabotaged and destroyed Yuuzhan Vong supply lines and installations, incited prisoners to revolt, anything and everything to disrupt the Yuuzhan Vong war machine.

It paid off. In the end, the Yuuzhan Vong found themselves beaten back by the Galactic Alliance and its allies such as the Imperial Remnant before finally surrendering after liberating Coruscant. But despite the war being over, there were still pockets of resistance – whether Vong or Peace Brigade – that needed to be put down that Zayl was involved in. He only continued that work for two more years before the Galactic Alliance shifted its attention more into reconstruction. With the battles having finally been put to rest and there no longer being any need for people like him, Zayl had left SpecForce and the Alliance military in order to find another purpose to continue his peacekeeping goals.

---Military History: Starting out as a sniper for the New Republic near the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Zayl was later selected to help revive the Infiltrators of the SpecForce 5th Regiment. Here he and his comrades had attacked Yuuzhan Vong and Peace Brigade installations and supply depots to give the reformed Galactic Alliance time to prepare and counterattack. While an accomplished sniper, Zayl was given some limited training in the use of explosives and demolitions.

After the Yuuzhan Vong War, Zayl continued to put his expertise to good use. While there were some Yuuzhan Vong that still fought despite the order of recall from Warmaster Nas Choka, Zayl found himself performing operations against the Peace Brigade, a few of the bitter survivors having resorted to terrorism and trafficking Yuuzhan Vong weaponry that were now deemed as outlawed. For his last assignment, Zayl had hunted down and assassinated an infamous trafficker known as Snyder Judd before he left the Alliance military.
---Traumatic Experiences: There was a reason why his last assignment was indeed the last one. Upon Alliance Intelligence discovering a deal that was going down between Snyder and his buyers for some outlawed Yuuzhan Vong tech upon the former headquarters of the Peace Brigade, Ylesia, it was considered the perfect opportunity to assassinate him. Having been promoted to Lieutenant during that time, Zayl was under the command of Captain Ralli when the two of them were chosen to assassinate the dealer. With Zayl being the designated sniper, the two had infiltrated the site, setup position, and Zayl took the shot that ended Snyder’s life.

But while the assassination had gone perfectly, it was getting out that trouble appeared. With their position compromised, they immediately made a break for the designated LZ for evac where a shuttle would await them. Unfortunately, an armed airspeeder gave chase, leading to Zayl and Ralli to take out the pilot with combined sniper fire during their retreat. Out of control, the speeder plummeted towards them and Zayl was unlucky enough to have his right leg mangled upon the crash, causing Ralli to carry him and effectively slowing them down despite Zayl’s insistence to be left behind. That was enough for the rest of Snyder’s allies to catch up and, upon reaching the shuttle, Ralli was killed while Zayl was shuttled to safety with the guilt to forever be stuck to his conscious.
