NPC Starfighter Pilots:
Pilot Name: Kat
Callsign: Sketch
Species: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 22
Physical Description:
Slightly short height, and a
slim but muscular physique mark Kat’s appearance. As does her choice of dress, which
tends to be considered provocative to most males. Another unique feature is her tattoed
face, which look like a warrior cult tradition to most first time observers. Nobody knows
the meanings beyond her tattoes but her. Other tattoes have been sighted on her body but
have never been recorded. She has shoulder length brown hair which is usually tied in the
back. She has green eyes.
Bio:
Kat doesn’t know her real
name. Taken as a slave off a cruise ship near the Core as a young girl, she was raised
amongst a pirate band. Little is known about her except that she at some point earned the
trust of her masters enough to kill them and escape. By the time of her escape she seemed
to already be a capable pilot and she soon found work in aerial bounty hunting. Chasing
down wanted smugglers and mercenaries who had prices on their heads. She had begun to gain
a reputation in this work when an incident occurred that changed her, rumor has it she
befriended and became lovers with a man that several weeks later tried to kill her for
reasons unknown. She killed him instead and immediately sold her modified scout ship and
bought a rickety old tie fighter and began work as a freelance pilot. A dozen combat
convoy escort missions later she got a job offer to join the Illarum Knights.
Pilot Name: Cabal Armand
Callsign: Dead-eye
Species: Human
Sex: Male
Age: 31
Physical Description:
Tall with a commanding look and
a cybernetic eye, Cabal looks the part of the holovid drama villain. This is matched by
his cybernetic arm and gruff nature. He has a heavy build, and his one good eye is
blue.
Bio:
Cabal’s background is self
recorded, no records of his history can be found, but some aspects of his history have
been verifiable, lending truth to his words. He claims to have been a pirate, part
boarder, part pilot. Working with a group called Merichek’s Legion. Consisting of a
fleet of smaller converted freighters, boarding craft, and a handful of fighters, this
group reigned terror among several outer rim worlds and spacelanes. A New Republic patrol
put an end to its activities by laying a trap for the pirate group, an unguarded convoy,
which the pirates fell upon hastily. Suddenly surrounded by New Republic warships, the
group scattered and tried to flee, most of the pirate ships were destroyed, with a few
surrendering. The ship Cabal was on took a hit to the compartment Cabal was in and he was
seriously injured. The ship escaped and Cabal was later treated by a friend amongst the
freighter crew. Left to recover at a hospital on an outer rim world, he decided to find an
alternative occupation and turned mercenary once the hospital released him. Working off
medical bills as a pilot in a planetary defense force for 2 years, he soon picked up real
mercenary work for a company known as “Troubleshooters”, which is notorious for
contracting out pilots to do less than reputable jobs. His reputation as a survivor and
his wide ranging experienced landed him a job offer to the Illarum Knights.
Pilot Name: Evely Tess’ler
Callsign: Gunslinger
Species: Human
Sex: Female
Age: 31
Physical Description:
A tint of age has begun to wear
at a beautiful face. With a medium build and average height, Evely is a good stereotype
veteran female military officer. Her piloting skills are coupled by her administrative and
mechanical skills, she once was put on a defense force recruiting poster in full flight
gear across the planet she once called home. This made her a minor celebrity for a time.
She has short blond hair and blue eyes.
Bio:
Evely’s long career as a
starfighter pilot began at an early age after she won an appointment to the Imperial Naval
Academy on Carida. At the time, Emperor Palpatine still ruled and the anti-alien and
anti-female bias was at its peak. Her training as a starfighter pilot was hampered by this
till a documented incident between her and a male pilot-trainee in which he tried to get
her kicked out by accusing her of trying to seduce him. Tendering her resignation, she
left the academy and in turn was all but rejected by her upper class New Order fanatic
family. Taking up some financial support from her grandfather, she managed to receive
training at a starship mechanics school. There she won a slot in a piloting course taught
with the use of a couple trainer starfighters. After that she applied to, and won a
position at a small starfighter academy that was a satellite college for the mechanical
school. Graduating there with honors she accepted a commission with the planet’s
defense force. A couple years there lended her a great deal of experience in a variety of
fighters and eventually command of a fighter squadron. She mustered out after 7 years of
service when the Empire began to fall apart and the defense force was being mobilized and
absorbed by the imperial fleet. Nowhere else to go, she accepted a single mission contract
by a trading company, flying shotgun for a convoy in an aging Z-95 headhunter. A pirate
attack during that mission gained her several kills and she singlehandedly kept the convoy
safe. An act that earned her a reputation among the freelance pilot community. The Illarum
Knights offered her the most lucrative job by far so she took it.
Pilot Name: Zak Ro’han
Callsign: Firefly
Species: Twi’lek
Sex: Male
Age: 23
Physical Description:
Zak is a light skinned
twi’lek with a small build. Although not impressively strong, he has very fast
reflexes.
Background:
Zak was born to a small group of
twi’lek refugees who came to reside on the smuggler’s paradise known as Port
Haven. Learning from his parents he quickly took up the trade of repairing starfighters.
Eventually he saved up enough credits to buy passage off Port Haven. Through dealing with
some shadowy criminal characters he acquired skills as a starfighter pilot. After a
falling out with his previous employers he started looking for a new home, and signed on
with the Illarum Knights.
Pilot Name: Oarel Diegl
Callsign: Badjo
Species: Human
Sex: Male
Age: 25
Physical description:
You couldn’t tell Oarel was
an assault trooper by looking at him. Long wild hair, a mustache, and often wild clothes
reveal his independent character. He has red hair, copper eyes, and a tattoo of a skull
and crossbones on his right shoulder.
Bio:
A former Espo assault trooper,
Oarel was born in the Corporate Sector Authority and went through military training with
ease, the paper trail he left behind suggests he did work with CSA special forces for a
time, but he denies this. Somewhere in his career he was part of a cross training program
with the CSA Starfighter Corps where he picked up the basics of starfighter piloting.
Additional flight time picked up later gave him proficiency in this, and it soon became
his saving grace after an incident in the field where he struck up an argument with his
commanding officer. Apparently the incident ended in violence, putting the officer in a
bacta tank and putting Oarel in the brig up for trial for assault. Offered a shot at
freedom if he participated in a solo infiltration operation, he agreed. Flying a modified
fighter onto a world to complete a mission that is still classified. Job completed, he was
pardoned but banned from CSA military service. Job pickings for assault troopers at the
time were scarce and the pay lowsy, so he took up flying instead, starting out as a
freighter pilot for a small company and working his way into a convoy escort service where
he logged more than 5,000 flight hours and several recorded kills. A chance to fly
advanced fighters was too much to pass up, so he joined the Illarum Knights.
Pilot Name: Varsal Ben’hera
Callsign: Spike
Species: Quarren
Sex: Male
Age: 32
Physical Description:
Varsal’s appearance is
typical of a Quarren, of normal height, bluish eyes and typical skin tone. His roguish
nature is displayed by his liking of spiked clothing, especially bracelets and belts.
Which make him look dangerous.
Bio:
Varsal was born on Mon Calamari.
He applied to and was accepted to the New Republic Starfighter training program, early
discipline problems resulted in his expulsion from the program. Outcasted by his family he
left the Republic and became a freighter pilot, a chance to fly a salvaged Zebra
starfighter led to him once again pursuing being a pilot. His success in a barely flyable
starfighter caught the eye of the Knights and led to his recruitment. When not flying he
paints portraits, usually of nebulas and other space phenomena.
Pilot Name: Habin Londar
Callsign: Blue
Species: Human
Sex: Male
Age: 26
Bio:
Habin Londar was born on Kuat to a middle class family. From
birth he dreamed of flying. Once he came of age he applied to the Imperial military as a
starfighter pilot. However, he was turned down because he possessed a criminal record,
some 3 years earlier he was involved in a drunken fight with a man in which he killed him.
With his dreams of being a pilot destroyed, Habin had sunk into a depressive routine,
working a low paying job at the Kuat Starport and spending most of his free time watching
holovids. Then some 6 years later he met a freelance starfighter pilot who offered to
teach him to fly, for a price of course. Habin jumped at the offer and learned to fly a
beat up Cloakshape starfighter. Shortly afterwards that starfighter pilot was in an
accident that permanently kept him from flying, and Habin inherited the pilot’s
starfighter. He started doing work as a freelancer until the Illarum Knights offered him a
job.
