Star Wars: Storm Squadron OOC (Open Once More)

[Beiarusia]

One last question, is it possible for one to play as a Jedi in exile?

I cannot say for certain if that is a yes or no, but I'd think that the rebels would be limited to non-Jedi characters. At this point in time Jedi are largely seen as myth with most either being dead or too far in hiding to be of much help.

This is true, since my idea would probably be too old to fight.

EDIT: Specifically [SPOILERS REDACTED]

With a good App I'd allow a someone who was force sensitive but not someone that powerful, I'd prefer if people stuck with non-canon characters of their own making please.

[Beiarusia]

This is true, since my idea would probably be too old to fight.

If Obi-Wan can take on Vader I'm sure a Jedi with some 20 years downtime could get back into a fighter, but simply having a Jedi on board would likely be a problem. I'm sure the Rebels would want a Jedi somewhere where they could be a more use, which may or may not be this squadron, and at the same time I'm sure the Empire would made it a priority to eliminate any rogues still lurking about. Lastly, as a Jedi Master he may be a bit too powerful. As Saint said, maybe consider a young Padawan that escaped Order 66 or some other force sensitive?

Understood, and gonna chose a less Force sensitive character.

It was just wishful thinking, I was browsing species for characters when I bumped into Master Koth and realized his story was incomplete.

NS Name: Rel

Character Name: Zek Yerevon (Zek)

Species: Human (Corellian)

Gender: Male

Fighter(s): Z-95 Headhunter

Credits: 20,000

Biography: Zek Yerevon was born in Corellia in 25BBY, to a family who owned their personal CR90 corvette for trading purposes. Because of their affluence, Zek was allowed to attend institutions of higher learning, emerging as a graduate in the naval engineering sector. Being one of the promising graduates, Zek planned to be a member of the Corellian Engineering Corporation, not using his parents' connections to earn a place in it, but to earn his place with his own ingenuity.

Zek had a personal project to design a starfighter to act as Corellia's own snub-fighter, only for Imperial Intelligence authorities to place him under investigation and confiscate his designs. A design of variable geometry delta-winged spacecraft, it was one of Zek's masterpieces which created the potential of quick maneuverability and extremely fast speeds. Upon learning of his arrest, anti-Imperial protesters prepared a raid to break him out of jail, to not only show a statement of their intent, as well as to send Zek over to the Alliance with whom they maintain close ties with.

With the sabotage attempt in full swing, the protesters managed to carry a beaten Zek out of his cell, fighting off whatever pro-Imperialists who were trying to maintain the Emperor's influence in Corellia. His parents prepared their trader, ready to escape through hyperdrive until they encountered the Immobilizer 418 Cruiser, which intercepted the ship. Zek was forced to escape through a pod, while the CR90 corvette tried to distract the Imeprials from Zek. Zek ultimately escaped and was recovered by Rebel cells, but the corvette with his parents was ultimately destroyed.

Living with a vengeance, Zek now strives to develop his knowledge and skills in service of the Rebel Alliance. His loyalties, if ever asked, was firstly to Corellia, and then the Alliance. They were tried and tested, Zek volunteering to be a pilot in the Y-Wing Bomber due to the lack of bomber pilots. Everyone wanted to use the cool and speedy Headhunters and agile starfighters, and someone has to take the role of the bomber, delivering payloads of proton bombs and torpedos against Imperial fortifications and warships.

It should be known that Zek preferred a balance of speed and firepower, himself flying a private-owned ARC-170 as an undergraduate. Unarmed but with the functions of S-foils which made him fall in love with them, Zek stands ready to fly at the Alliance's request.

Appearance: Zek usually stays in common spacer attire, standing at 5ft6 with a ectomorphic build. Prefers the standard blaster which he keeps by his waist, and a heavier DT-57 blaster which was rumored to be related to General Grevious' weapon.

Personality: Somewhat playful and confident, extremely serious when on missions. Switch in character may seem obvious to those who observe him. Calm and analytical, if one sees Zek charge into a mass of enemy starfighters, one must know that his confidence was not born out of recklessness, but calculated movements.

Character Name: Ziam Cyrus, recently changed to “Jak DeJira”
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Biography:[b]Born and raised on Alderaan to a merchant family, [Insert name here] grew up mostly in the secluded manor his family owned. With a father who was more often away on business and a mother who was a bit more occupied with grooming his two sisters for marriage (for monetary reasons) then dealing with her rambunctious son. He showed an affinity at a young age for space craft, particularly snub fighters, and at 16 was able to make enough money to buy a busted T-16 sky hopper. After searching his family’s library for technical holo books he was able to cobble together the old skiff in to working order, gaining valuable knowledge in the process.
When he was in his early 20s, his father would go missing and to compensate for his income, [Insert name here] would sell his prized T-16 for an air speeder and take to underground racing. Often racing illegally and for cold hard credits, he was able to keep his mother and sisters afloat but he himself had to live in poor conditions, with most of his money going towards either to his family, or to keep his speeder in racing condition. He would base himself in Corascant and created a front company “Zia’s express”, to cover his tracks. Later going legitimate, he would garner a small yet cult fallowing of racing fans across the galaxy. Time and old grudges would catch up with him and through a set of unfortunate circumstances both his mother and older sister would wind up dead. Taking his baby sister (who was only 15 at the time) he hid on Correlia and switched to courier duties to keep them clothed and fed.
He would make contact with a local group of smugglers who would offer to pay him highly in exchange for running items for them through the Imperial customs. He would do this, and for a time he and his sister would live comfortably. Roughly a year back, he would be picked up under suspicion of smuggling and arrested. His sister, having learned a great deal from her older brother, would disappear to the outer rim and has since been listed as missing. He would spend the next few months in prison before making his escape aboard a trash barge.

Using the last of his contacts and old favors, he made contact with the rebellion after their recent victories. He’s accepted the offer of employment and has just arrived at the Rebel base with nothing but the clothes on his back, 50 credits in his pocket, and a DL-44 strapped to his hip.

NOTE: Well I’m all for the possibility of other OC recognizing him, he has since grown and colored his hair to hide his old identity.

Can I play a droid starfighter? Seriously I've thought of a backstory and everything.

[Occupied Deutschland]

NS Name: Occupied Deutschland, ‘OD’
Character Name: Keth’serali’nuruodo ‘Serali’
Species: Chiss - blue-skinned, red-eyed humanoid
Gender: Female
Biography:
“You will have never heard of where I was born. It is in the Unknown Regions and, to be honest, it is of little importance to you or this rebellion. The same could be said of my age, though if you absolutely must know I am twenty-six ‘Galactic Standard’ years old.

In that time, I have accrued enough experience that I could easily fulfill a leadership role in this squadron, or perhaps more appropriately this rebellion as a whole. I joined my homeworld’s spaceborne forces when I was fifteen and graduated at the top of my class. I took my ensign cruise on the flagship, at the end of which I was promoted to Lieutenant and given my own fighter, which eventually evolved into my own squadron. A year later I was accepted into the Imperial Academy on Lothal as part of an exchange program between the Empire and my homeworld. The Empire does like to pretend it is extending ‘civilization’ to those of us beyond the Rim.

In any case, following my completion of an accelerated course at the Academy, I was commissioned as a reserve officer in the Imperial Navy and served as an observer for a time with Imperial anti-smuggling operations in the Rim. It is there I learned to pilot a TIE, and where I came to the realization of just how poorly-managed the broader Imperial military is. The Imperial military is impressively human-centric. Which would be its right if that did not get in the way of its effectiveness. During my observation of Imperial doctrine I witnessed three TIEs sacrificed because their commander was too stubborn to listen to my warnings and too stupid to spot a trap himself, sure that the 'incompetent alien barbarian' did not know what she was talking about. Thankfully for everyone involved, his was one of the fighters demolished. That brings quite demonstrative lie to the myth of ‘Imperial efficiency’, would you not agree?

I found myself rather unimpressed by the Empire's fighter doctrine, even as I marveled at the sheer number of fighters they could deploy and, with some tweaking, the potential it represented for a real force mulitiplier. Unfortunately ‘unimpressed’ is not something one wants to be when it comes to any aspect of Imperial society, especially as a 'guest'. I can only assume my less-than complimentary report to my homeworld was intercepted by ImpSec, as I found myself under arrest soon before the conclusion of my mission.

Thankfully, I was imprisoned alongside of both regular criminal scum and a group of political prisoners. When a rebel operation broke the politicos out, the rest of those of us imprisoned alongside them also escaped on the promise of aiding the rebellion. Unlike many of those others, however, my word actually means something.

Thus, here I am.”

Serali’s barely-concealed arrogance and insistence on formal military courtesy and behavior has had the tendency to rub many of the more informal and ragtag members of the Rebellion the wrong way. The perception is not helped by her tendency to dress in very bland, dark-colored clothing that resembles Imperial navy uniforms. Nonetheless, an impressive degree of skill at piloting has driven her to be assigned to Storm Squadron, and none deny that having another individual with firsthand experience in Imperial doctrines and equipment is of great aid to the rebellion.

***Investigatory note***

What few resources were used to attempt and investigate Serali's home-planet proved wasted, as no amount of coaxing could urge the woman to speak about it and no other suggestions of it's location or existence could be uncovered in available archives. Even the Imperial Academy she attended only listed her homeworld as 'N/A', a decidedly curious phenomenon. However, her time after enrolling in the Imperial Academy is easily tracked by Alliance agents, and we have taken the liberty of doing so to ensure the accuracy of her claims. One 'Serali Nuruodo' did attend the Academy, graduated from an accelerated fleet-officer program in the upper ten percent of the class, and went on to be posted with a Victory class Star Destroyer, the Terrible, on patrol in the Galactic Rim.

She had zero demerits or disciplinary actions on her record at graduation, another oddity. Beyond the Academy, the only incident she is listed as being involved in on-ship is the same argument with a flight commander that she freely admits to, and her 'involvement' in that consists of a letter of commendation by the Ship's Captain. Some in-depth hacking of Imperial archives did reveal what may be some indication of truth to her story of imprisonment. Details are unavailable, but the TIE Commander on-board the Terrible alludes to taking care of an 'outside problem' in some of his personal correspondence, which may refer to Serali. In light of her seemingly content service to the Empire and wholly unverifiable deep background, it is recommended some slight measure of care be taken in her exposure to sensitive information and Rebellion officials.
