Tython Squadron was a former [[Battleteam]] and current support squadron formed from the members of House [[Satele Shan]] of Clan [[Odan-Urr]]. The unit was founded in 35 ABY, and was retained following the Clan's restructuring, moving to the newly formed [[House Sunrider]] during this time. The squadron’s official mission is to aid in the defense of the [[Kiast System]] as a subordinate unit under the operational control of JTF Satele Shan, now JTF Sunrider. Unofficially, Tython Squadron’s true purpose is to serve as the internal security apparatus within Clan Odan-Urr, tasked with combating corruption, sedition, and infiltration from within the Clan’s ranks. It was later pushed into a support role of the [[Guardian Corps]] following its role being downgraded. However in recent events there has been a flux of activity around the hangar housing Tython Squadron. New equipment and support personnel have been rolling through the blast doors, all under the watchful eye of Privateer randyrumrnr.

==History==

[[File:SBB.jpg|200px|thumb|Operations Center]]

The genesis of Tython Squadron began with the destruction of [[New Tython]] during the [[Eleventh Great Jedi War]]. Odan-Urr’s failure to stop the calamity and protect the [[Harakoan]] race shook the organization to its core. The need for a dedicated defense force to ensure the same fate does not befall the denizens of the Kiast System became acute due to the unexpected victory over the forces of [[The Collective]] in the [[Twelfth Great Jedi War]]. With new recruits, prosperity, and prestige the secrecy and security of Odan-Urr’s territory has never faced greater peril.

Director [[Landon Cruise|Maximus Alvinius]] and Executor [[Len Iode]] approached Lieutenant Colonel [[Mauro wynter|Mauro Wynter]] clandestinely in a series of meetings within the [[Sky Breach Base]] to discuss the formation of the squadron. Major Silvia Tanos, Intelligence Officer of the ''[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/items/46230%7CMC40 Remembrance of Seher]'', was assigned as the military liaison and helped Wynter handpick the pilots of Tython Squadron. Nearly all were veterans of the destruction of New Tython.

Upon the initial formation, many new pilots flocked to join Tython Squadron to the point where many lesser pilots transferred to flight crew and field operatives of the nascent internal security arm of the Battleteam. Needing to run the unit through operational trials, Mauro Wynter and Silvia Tanos engaged the '''''Basic Flight Training''''' slate of events. The pilots underwent countless training missions and simulations.

During one such training mission, the squadron caught a smuggling vessel, the ''Raxanna's Remorse''. This [[starwars:C-ROC Gozanti-class cruiser|C-ROC Cruiser]] was moving advanced weaponry within the Kiast System and sending coded messages to the [[Iron Throne]] and hidden operatives within Sky Breach Base. The cruiser, due to impressive flying by all parties, was captured and returned to Daleem. For their conspicuous gallantry [[Chrome]], [[Junazee]], and [[Ranarr Kul]]-[[Tarentae]] were awarded the title of Aces by [[Landon Cruise|Maximus Alvinius]].

The team next frantically began investigating the data gathered from the "Raxanna's Remorse" and other fragmented intelligence. This presented an opportunity for Tython Squadron to test out their abilities as field operatives and keenly perform counterintelligence and internal security screening on the personnel assigned to Sky Breach Base and JTF Satele Shan as a whole. During the so-called '''''Operation Enigma''''', Tython Squadron spent extensive time and efforts tracking down insider threats. Key evidence implicated a young officer known as Ensign Yon Keto. Keto was receiving large sums of funding from off-system and dispersing it widely in small increments - payoffs - to accomplices and subverting the junior officer corps within the JTF. Sadly, he was killed before more intelligence could be gained. His death was kept a well-guarded secret for only those with top-secret clearance and vetted by Tython Squadron members personally. Due to their conspicuous gallantry, [[Korroth]], [[Arcia Cortel]], and [[Ethan Martes]] earned their Tython Ace stripes.

However, evidence pointed towards a clandestine mercenary group operating under the aegis of the Iron Throne and other large industrial conglomerates within the Kiast System and the [[Arx System]]. Tython Squadron triangulated communications stemming from the [[starwars:Unknown Regions|Unknown Regions]], and was contacted by members of Battleteam [[Nighthawk]] of [[Clan Arcona]]. The team rapidly mobilized an expeditionary force for advanced scouting and reconnaissance. This would turn out to be Tython Squadron's first mission outside of Kiast and its baptism of fire.

This heavily classified event, later known as the '''''Rendezvous of Destiny''''', saw the pilots of Tython Squadron launch a coordinated strike with the assistance from the [[starwars:Marauder-class corvette|''Maurader''-class frigate]] [https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/items/46212-marauder-class-corvette Nighthawk] and several flights of Arconan piloted [[starwars:X-wing starfighter|X-Wings]] against a flotilla of ancient fighters, support vessels, and a rearmed [[starwars:EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate|Nebulon-B frigate]], the '''''Defiant-II'''''. Seer Constantine was given operational control of the Tython fighter-craft, under the tactical guidance of [[Mar Sûl]], while Mauro Wynter and a strike team of Jedi and military personnel landed on the '''''Defiant-II''''' flight deck.

Fighting their way from the flight deck, Mauro tasked Arcia and Chrome to lock down the ship's propulsion system as the Jedi made their way to commandeer the bridge. Finding little resistance, a trap was sprung by a cunning [[Inquisitorius#Grand Inquisitor .28Rank XII.29|Grand Inquisitor]] known as Taril Hron and a small cadre of lethal [[starwars:IG-100 MagnaGuard|IG-100 Magna-Guards]]. While Junazee held the Inquisitor at bay, Knights Tyraal Bitshiver and Zeline Nemesis fought the deadly droids. Wynter was able to retrieve data from the bridge implicating the [[Daleem#The Shipwright.27s Guild|Shipwrights' Guild]] and the Inquisitorius in the rampant number of ships going missing in the Kiast System and of a plot to overthrow the Empress of the [[Vatali Empire]].

During the heat of battle, Wynter distracted Hron and Junazee dispatched her, eliminating the threat. Calling in their reinforcements, the joint forces of Tython Squadron and Nighthawk were able to force the remaining crew to surrender and take the '''''Defiant-II''''' back to the Kiast System as a war prize, with barely enough time to brief Director Alvinius and Executor Iode on the ongoing threat to the Odanite forces. For their exemplary dedication to duty during this engagement Korroth, [[Talis|Talis DeMorte]], and Ethan Martes were commended as Tython Aces.

The intelligence gathered from the '''''Defiant-II''''' implicated rogue elements of the Inquisitorious working in league with the Shipwrights’ Guild to overthrow the Vitali Empire. Tython Squadron mobilized teams to infiltrate the Shipwrights’ Guild sprawling territories on Daleem while flights were stationed in orbit prowling the skies on alert.

The infiltration teams found themselves ambushed in the streets while the pilots were jammed in the skies above. A coordinated assault by the Maelstrom Corsairs, now a known front for the Shipwrights’ Guild, saw Tython Squadron scattered to the wind and fighting for survival. Korroth, Junazee, and Mauro Wynter fought their way out of the streets of Daleem and reached Sky Breach Base, but sadly Major Silvia Tanos died heroically protecting her team against a high ranking Inquisitor. The battered remnants of the infiltration teams were reunited with Chrome, Ethan, Zeline, and Sia who defended the base and coordinated the teams’ response.

Above Daleem the Maelstrom Corsairs fleet arrived, and headed straight for Sky Breach Base’s orbital platform. The '''''Defiant-II''''' and the Tython flights made up of Aaleeshah, Tyraal, Talis, Jafits, Mar Sul, and Kasula Daegella fought a desperate delaying action to give time for OEF capital craft to respond. Things were equally bleak planet side, as the JTF Shan ground forces were deployed to protect the Imperial Gardens and thwart a Corsair move to seize the Vitali seat of power on Daleem.

All appeared lost as landing craft began to converge on The Foundry, the Shipwrights’ Guild main industrial complex, discharging thousands of assault forces. However, the timely arrival of Arcia on the '''''Remembrance of Seher''''' gave the few remaining friendly forces a brief respite that was direly needed. As the Corsair fleet surged forward to finish off the rag-tag flotilla, their flagship was isolated.

Taking the initiative, Len Iode sprung the trap perfectly and arrived in a newly acquired Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, the '''''Resolve'''''. Caught in a pincer movement, the Maelstrom Corsairs were annihilated and the enemy ground forces loyal to the Shipwrights’ Guild were isolated and contained. Tython Squadron had held, but at the loss of many new pilots wounded in action and removed from flight status, and the death of their Adjutant, Major Silvia Tanos.

The group was moved from one House to the other during multiple reconstructions and reorganisations of the Clan's armies, and currently is stationed as a part of the [[Guardian Corps]]. Although active as a unit, this saw it withdrawn as an individual battle team.

==Tactics and Operations==

[[File:TythonTie.png|200px|thumb|left|Tython Squadron TIE Defenders]]

Tython Squadron’s training craft were based in hangar Delta Seven of the Sky Breach Base orbital platform. The squadron secretly renovated the defunct [[Garza's Pathfinders]] Central Cloister within the planet-side of Sky Breach Base as their operations center and intelligence gathering nexus. These accommodations were temporary in nature; upon commissioning the squadron was looking for a home of their own and the determination of which fighter craft they would be piloting. The squadron trained on captured Collective [[starwars:Quadrijet transfer spacetug|Quadjumper]] spoils of war.

Upon commissioning Tython Squadron found itself needing operational fighter-craft capable of a diverse mission set. Funding through conventional military procurement proved to be problematic due to the covert status of the team, and hostility from the OEF. In light of these concerns, Tython Squadron was granted the contraband contents of the Raxanna's Remorse, an elite [[starwars:TIE/D Defender|TIE Defender]] squadron. The OEF reluctantly assigned a skeleton crew of mechanics and ground crew to support the unit. In light of the secrecy required by the Battleteam, [[Landon Cruise|Maximus Alvinius]] and [[Len Iode]] granted Tython Squadron temporary control of the orbital platform of Sky Breach Base. The TIE Defenders are still housed within hangar Delta Seven and the remainder of the platform is being renovated to provide better orbital defense, command and control, and security features along with other classified amenities.

After the events of Operation Enigma, Mauro Wynter used his personal credits and the squadron's mechanics to convert the seized '''''Raxanna's Remorse'''''. Rechristened as the [[Hegemon]], this vessel is the primary support craft for Tython Squadron. In this capacity the vessel serves as a carrier for auxiliary fighter craft, a MEDEVAC platform, and a strike team infiltration/exfiltration delivery device.

Following the events of [[Vauzem_Dominion#Operation:_Vanguard|Operation: Vanguard]] and its integration into House Sunrider, the squadron underwent a number of notable changes. Due to its much more public role, the squadron's TIE Defenders were temporarily mothballed in favour of [[starwars:RZ-2 A-wing interceptor|RZ-2 A-wings]] donated by the Vatali Empire as part of Odan-Urr's new fleet. The squadron was also given ownership of a [[starwars:Pelta-class_frigate/Legends|Pelta-class frigate]] to serve as their mobile headquarters, which was quickly dubbed the ''Pride of Harakoa'' in memory of the Clan's lost home.

==Aces of Tython==

Within Tython Squadron the highest honor is to be awarded the title of pilot Ace. The Aces of Tython have distinguished themselves by exceptional performance and placing in the top of recognized unit level events. Tython Aces are more than an honorific, they are the only pilots who retain their flight status indefinitely. Until pilots earn this title they must continually requalify to stay in the unit based on activity and participation in official missions. Also, as a mark of honor, Tython Aces are entitled to a specific call-sign to register their fighter-craft and to be designated within the organization.

===Former Aces===

Even with its wide variety of members, a number of aces have departed the squadron in search of new paths. Some of these have aligned themselves with other clans, while more have simply chosen a new life elsewhere. They retain their rights and recognize of their service, but are no longer active as members of the unit. The following pilots have been recognized as aces:

* Raider [[Chrome]] (x2) - "Chrome"

* Seer [[Junazee]]

* Vanguard [[Ranarr Kul]] - “Wildcat”

*Vanguard [[Korroth]] (x2)

*Knight [[Ethan Martes]] (x2) - "Ulwan"

*Colonel [[Arcia Cortel]] - "Admiral"

*Mystic [[Talis]] DeMorte - "Warpath"

==Notable Members==

While a new unit, Tython Squadron has already had several notable pilots within its ranks. Some have transferred, but played an integral part in the unit's successes.

*Privateer [[randyrumrnr]] - Current Commanding Officer of Tython Squadron.

*Privateer [[Jon Silvon]] - Former Commanding Officer of Tython Squadron.

*Lieutenant Colonel [[Mauro wynter|Mauro Wynter]] - Founding member, unit plank-owner, and first Commanding Officer of Tython Squadron.

*Vanguard [[Ranarr Kul]] - Tython Ace, unit plank-owner. Transferred to serve as Clan [[Rollmaster]].

*Major [[Silvia Tanos]] - OEF military liaison officer, intelligence officer of the '''''Remembrance of Seher'''''. Silvia served as Squadron Adjutant, and was an honorary unit plank-owner. KIA during the events of '''''The Shadow of the Kesaret'''''.

==Trivia==

*Within three weeks of the unit's formation, Tython Squadron had grown to 18 pilots - the largest BT within the DJB.

*The first unit event, '''''[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/13144 Basic Flight Training]''''' received over 54 entries for 5 competitions, comprising an 85% participation rate.

*The second unit event, '''''[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/13364 Operation Enigma]''''' received over 28 entries for 3 competitions, comprising a 90% participation rate.

*The third unit event, '''''[https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/13321 Rendezvous of Destiny]''''' was historic due to being one of the few inter-Clan Battleteam events, receiving over 47 entries for 4 competitions, comprising an 80% participation rate.

Tython Squadron was a former [[Battleteam]] and current support squadron formed from the members of House [[Satele Shan]] of Clan [[Odan-Urr]]. The unit was founded in 35 ABY, and was retained following the Clan's restructuring, moving to the newly formed [[House Sunrider]] during this time.

Seer Constantine was given operational control of the Tython fighter-craft, under the tactical guidance of [[Mar Sûl]], while Mauro Wynter and a strike team of Jedi and military personnel landed on the '''''Defiant-II''''' flight deck.

Fighting their way from the flight deck, Mauro tasked Arcia and Chrome to lock down the ship's propulsion system as the Jedi made their way to commandeer the bridge.

'''randyrumrnr''' currently serves Clan Odan-Urr as a House Guardian and member of the Okami Mandalorians.

==Biography==
'''Early years:'''

randyrumrnr, also known as Tommy, was born on the Mandalorian world of Concord Dawn. While his family's clan was relatively small, they were well known within the Mandalorian community for their propensity for pulling off daring supply raids of nearby systems.

The first few years of Tommy's life was that of a typical child born into Mandalorian Warrior culture. The Mandalorians were a clan-based cultural group that was composed of members from multiple species all bound by a common culture, creed, and code. They originated on the planet Mandalore in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and had a particularly important role in galactic history as legendary warriors against the Jedi. From their home world, Mandalorians had flourished across Mandalorian Space and the galaxy at large, colonizing worlds such as Kalevala, Krownest, and Concord Dawn.

<center>''"When one chooses to walk the Way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life?"
―A Mandalorian armorer''</center>

Tommy spent most of his days learning about Mandalorian culture, working in the community farm fields and learning the art of combat. At the age of 7 he accompanied his clan on a supply raid of Eufornis Minor, an outer rim planet, in search of medical supplies.

'''Cuy'val Dar'''

In 30 BBY a Mandalorian Warrior named Jango Fett made contact with Tommy's parents, he knew well of their abilities in covert operations from the various raids they had pulled off for the good of the Mandalorian communities on Concord Dawn. His proposal was one they could not turn down. He was inviting them, along with 73 other Mandalorian warriors to help train a new army. These 75 Mandalorians would join up with another 25 well known individuals and become known as the Cuy'val Dar.

The Cuy'val Dar were a group of one hundred individuals summoned by Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, to come to the watery world of Kamino to train clone troopers for the Galactic Republic. Of these one hundred males and females, seventy-five were Mandalorians like Fett, and in the Mandalorian language Cuy'val Dar meant "those who no longer exist"—a name stemming from the need for these individuals to disappear to Kamino without contact with the outside galaxy due to the secrecy surrounding the developing Grand Army of the Republic. For close to ten years, these one hundred training sergeants trained the Grand Army's ten thousand clone commandos until their deployment at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, which sparked the galactic Clone Wars. With their contract up, many of the Cuy'val Dar trainers went back to their lives, but a small number continued professional relations with the Republic, returning to train further generations of clones on Kamino, and later cross-training standard clone soldiers with commando skills.

<center>''"You're the best in your field—the best soldiers, tacticians, sappers, communicators, survival experts. I picked you personally because I want you to train the best commandos in the galaxy. You'll have everything you need, whatever you want, except one thing—home. This is a top-secret project. You'll not tell anyone where you're going and you'll not leave Kamino, ever. As far as your friends and family are concerned, you're already dead."''
―Jango Fett, recruiting the Cuy'val Dar</center>

Tommy accompanied his parents to the watery world of Kamino, where at only 8 years old, would be put through the same training regimen as his Clone counterparts. While his Clone brethren initially looked upon the outsider as a mongrel, what the clone troopers would refer to as anyone not of cloned status, they quickly accepted him as one of their own after impressing them with his capabilities as a young fighter. It was also here that he met the love of his life, Caro, a young female Twi'lek warrior as part of the Cuy'val Dar contingent.

Tommy's grandfather had been an expert artillery gunner, victorious in many previous conflicts. It was through his stories and short amount of training, before his grandfather's death, that led Tommy to be assigned to the special training unit of Clone Artillery Troopers. Clone Artillery Troopers were clone troopers of the Galactic Republic that specialized in using mortars and other artillery pieces such as the Model 201 mortar system, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser and the AV-7 Mobile Cannon.

==The Clone Wars:==
With the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Tommy was promoted to the rank of Bombardier in the Grand Army of the Republic and assigned to the 31st Artillery Regiment. This regiment was a specialized artillery unit primarily focused on close combat artillery support.
The 31st Artillery Regiment, quickly became known as the 'Flying Pig' regiment, tantamount to their successful actions at the battles of Geonosis, Commenor, Mygeeto and Felucia.

'''Battle of Geonosis'''

The 31st Artillery Regiment's first taste of combat was on the dusty planet of Geonosis. Tasked with providing support fire to the 187th Legion, while being supported in the air by the 127th Gunship Wing, the 'Flying Pig Regiment' was a part of a successful mission in bringing down two Techno Union ships, before they could leave the planet.

[[File:Acethemandalorian.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr during the battle of Geonosis]]

'''Battle of Commenor'''

Again the 31st Artillery Regiment was deployed in unison of the 187th Legion in defense of Commenor from an attempted invasion by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After several weeks of fighting, the CIS were driven from the system.

'''Third battle of Mygeeto'''

In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, a conflict erupted on Mygeeto between the CIS and the Galactic Republic known as the Third Battle of Mygeeto. The Separatist General known as Grievous brought a group from the Separatist Droid Army to Mygeeto. He was joined by Separatist Colonel Coburn Sear, who had narrowly escaped capture by the Republic on Kardoa. Jedi General Depa Billaba, her padawan Caleb Dume and their battalion of Republic clone troopers were sent to Mygeeto to confront the Separatist presence. Deployed with them was the 31st Artillery Regiment. Tommy often found himself butting heads against his Jedi General, out of his pure spite of the Jedi, leading him to ignore the Jedi General's orders to fall back and leave a Clone infantry unit to be cut off, moving his gun line closer in support of the surrounded Clone unit. After a short but furious battle, the Clone unit was able to hold out and survive. Tommy vowed to never follow another Jedi General's orders again.

'''Battle of Felucia'''

A key planet for control of the Perlemian Trade Route, Felucia was the location of several battles between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the first battle on the planet saw the Republic forces, led by Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Plo Koon, dislodged by a Separatist onslaught via blockade.

Later in the war, Separatist forces destroyed the Republic medical station orbiting the planet, deploying a Vulture droid deployment station to safeguard their hold on the system. Around this time, a nysillin farming community was terrorized by Hondo Ohnaka's Florrum-based pirate gang, who stole the settlers' crop harvest. In order to protect themselves, the farmers hired a group of bounty hunters which consisted of Sugi, Embo, Seripas and Rumi Paramita. This group later grew to include stranded Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. With their assistance, the farmers were able to fend off the pirate band and protect their village.

In 20 BBY, elements of the Republic Army, led by Generals Koon and Skywalker and Commander Tano fought to take a Separatist outpost and holdout on the planet; the assault ended with the elimination of the Separatist, outpost, though it also resulted in Ahsoka Tano's kidnapping by rogue Trandoshan hunters.

Later, during the Outer Rim Sieges of 19 BBY, yet another battle was fought on the planet; this time Jedi Master Aayla Secura, Commander Bly, and their 327th Star Corps, along with the 31st Artillery Regiment, were sent to the planet to capture Separatist Council member Shu Mai.

While he was fighting on the gun line, Order 66 came out. Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was a top secret order identifying all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic. Tommy was relishing the thought of potentially getting to fight the hated Jedi for real after all the pain and anguish they had set upon the Mandalorians as a culture over the millenia and for the disregard shown by Jedi towards his clone bretheren when he received a distress call from Caro, now his fiancé, who was was leading a scouting party to the west of their position with a Jedi Commander and her platoon.

Tommy handed the gun line over to his Clone XO, Dropshort, and rushed to Caro's co-ordinates. He found her mortally wounded by a lightsaber injury to the abdomen. Knowing medical help would never make it in time, Tommy and Caro spent their last moments together reciting the Mandalorian poem, reinvented as a war chant, Dha Werda Verda.
Tommy spent the next four days tracking down the Jedi who killed his love, fighting in a bitter duel where Tommy rose the victor thanks to the cortosis weaved into his gauntlets, allowing him to absorb the blows of his enemies Lightasber.

<center>''The ash of the Taung beats strong within the Mandalorians' heart.</center>
<center>''We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow,''</center>
<center>''The first noble sons of Mandalore.''</center>
<center>''Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.''</center>
<center>''Our vengeance burns brighter still.''</center>

<center>''The gauntlet of Mandalore strikes without mercy.''</center>
<center>''We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow,''</center>
<center>''The first noble sons of Mandalore.''</center>
<center>''Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.''</center>
<center>''Our vengeance burns brighter still.''</center>
<center>- Dha Werda Verda</center>

Completely disillusioned by the Jedi and their war, Tommy carried Caro's body back to the main gun line before stealing an LAAT Gunship and making it off-world. Making contact with Caro's parents to inform them of what happened. At the behest of Caro's parents, Tommy made his way to the Twi'lek home planet of Ryloth. It was here that they performed The Mandalorian Death Ceremony ("kote kyr'am" in Mando'a) was an event where Mandalorians honor their fallen warriors who died facing impossible odds. To ensure their warrior's spirit can join their Mandalorian paragons, the body is burned on an elevated pyre. Clan members send shouts into the sky, bellowing war cries and retelling feats. The night becomes a celebration of drunken feasting and brawling in honor of the dead.

'''The family business'''

Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene. Although many clones went on to die from their accelerated growth genes, many were saved through the hard work of the network.

'''The loss of Tracyaat'''

During a skirmish against the forces attempting to invade ''Velabri'', Tommy's personal ship ''Tracyaat'' was critically damaged. Moments after his shields were brought down from an Ion cannon, the ship was pierced by a concussions missile. The missile punched through, exploding on exit, ripping apart the nose of the craft.

With the craft venting oxygen and losing power, Tommy had no choice but to abandon ship. Arming the self destruct and downloading Combat Gonks programming, he ejected from the doomed ship. The gravitation forces from the planet below pulled Tommy into the atmosphere and down towards the surface.

'''A new ship, a new beginning'''

Tommy spent several weeks planetside, constantly eluding enemy forces, looking for any chance of escape. His moment came shortly after a running gun battle with a bounty hunter trying to claim the bounty on Tommy. It was here that after dispatching his foe, Tommy then claimed the hunters ship as his own. The ship was a modified YT-2400 light freighter. The ship had been retrofitted internally to allow a larger cargo hold for spice running and holding of captives. On his return to Mandalorian space, Tommy had the ship outfitted back to it's more standard layout, with substantial upgrades to both the shields and engines. Tommy subsequently renamed the ship '''Shield Maiden''' in honour and memory of his fiance's title, bestowed upon her during her time as a Mandalorian warrior.

[[File:Shieldmaiden3.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr's personal ship - Shield Maiden]]

==Emperor's Hammer Military Career:==
Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene.

Tommy took this time to make a change in his military career at the suggestion of another member from the Cuy'val Dar and coincidentally father to another Rho Squadron pilot, Jarion Renalds, enlisting in the Imperial Pilots Academy. After graduating from the Academy with the prestigious Gold Wings and a short tour of duty on the Daedalus platform, Tommy was transferred to Rho Squadron, a Strike unit aboard the ISDII Warrior. Moving up from Rho 7 to Squadron XO, with the re-assignment of General Hav Antiel, Tommy was awarded command of Rho Squadron.

6 months later RA Zekk Terrik approached Tommy with a proposition to revive a multi-role squadron. Primarily used as a bomber squadron with a flight of Interceptors to provide cover for the slower bombers, Sigma Squadron also deploys to the ground in a pacification role. Offering specialist roles as not only pilots, but ground units, to help quell recently controlled planets populaces.

Decommission of Sigma Squadron

While not seen as an illustrious posting, Sigma Squadron struggled to recruit new pilots to her ranks. Despite her pilots best efforts, her commission was cut short by the EH Admirality, with remaining pilots being transferred into the ranks of Theta Squadron.

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood - Clan Odan-Urr - Okami Mandalorians:==
During his time off from active duty, Tommy assisted both his clan and a larger cadre of Mandalorians working in a somwhat humanitarian role, providing training, support and military aide to smaller worlds known to be preyed upon by their stronger neighbours. The majority of this action was spent just outside what is known as the ''Smuggler's run'' on the planets ''Naos'' and ''Velabri''.

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Okami was not lost on Tommy, having been from Concord Dawn himself, he was well aware of the rich Mandalorian history that went with the Okami. As fate would have it, he crossed paths with his Mandalorian cousins while travelling thought the Kiast system. Needing the credits and more importantly, feeling the need to see combat and family again, Tommy took his new friends up on the offer to join their ranks. While his ties to the Resol'nare cannot be questioned, no one is quite sure as to why he chose to join an organization with so many adept force users within it, given randyrumrnr’s personal grievances with them. Some speculate it is so he can sidle up to them, easier to stick a vibroblade in that way.

'''Resurrection of Tython Squadron'''
It was during his time in the ranks of Odan-Urr that Tommy came across the disused hangar of Tython Squadron. Noting that the clann severely lacked a readiness response unit, Tommy approached Clan Odan-Urr's Consul, Revak Kurr, about bringing Tython back into the fold as an active military unit. Currently the unit is undergoing a full refit to both it's craft and personnel.

==Mandalorian Armour==
'''Armour colouring:'''
The most recognizable symbol of the Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian armor was a catch-all term for the sets of distinctive full-body armor worn by Mandalorian warriors and soldiers throughout galactic history. Known as beskar'gam in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a—a name which meant "iron skin" when translated into Basic—Mandalorian armor was central to the Mandalorian way of life. The wearing of armor was one of the Resol'nare, the six tenets that defined the Mandalorian culture. In an expansive community of beings from numerous origins, the easily identifiable armor not only provided protection for the wearer, but a common visual identity for any and all Mandalorians, regardless of species or gender.

The appearance of a Mandalorian's armor was largely up to the individual, as the highly independent Mandalorian people customized their armor with different colored paint schemes, clan and unit sigils, personalized glyphs, or other marking patterns in accordance to their own tastes. While many may think Mandalorians paint their armour in their favourite colours, while this may be true to a small fraction, there is actually meaning behind the colours that Mandalorians adorn upon themselves or by others.

While Okami Mandalorians proudly wear their clan colours of off-white and burnt yellow adorned on their beskar'gam, Tommy's armour is predominantly royal blue, referencing his reliability which was bestowed upon him by his family. The forest green found upon his armour was chosen by that of Cora's family, while not born into Mandalorian culture she adopted it upon her relationship with Tommy, her family seeing the dedication Tommy applied to their daughter. The green signifies duty to ones family.

While Tommy has worn this colour combination since, he has made just one slight modification to the colouring. Upon the death of Cora, Tommy painted a grey strip which runs down the left eye of his visor, letting all other Mandalorians known he is mourning a lost love.

[[File:Acemandalorian.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr performing rear guard action]]

==Former Personal Ships==
'''Tracyaat:'''
Tommy's first personal craft was a heavily modified HWK-290 Light Freighter. Though an older ship, first released in 9 BBY, with the modifications made to it, allows the ship to continue service well into the current generation of light freighters.

Tracyaat, meaning Artillery in Mandalorian, measures twenty-nine meters in length and requires a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Tommy negates this by utilizing his modified Combat Gonk droid as his co-pilot. The freighter can accommodate up to six passengers and 150 tons of cargo.

[[File:Tracyaat.jpg|thumb|randyrumrnr's former personal ship - Tracyaat]]

==Combat Gonk==
Despite the fact that Tommy despises droids, from his time fighting them in the Clone Wars, he does in fact keep a droid in tow. It is more of a sick joke, rather than out of necessity, as he uses it as a slave to collect beverages and food for him and his pilots. Tommy has modified a standard Gonk droid with combat programming and some hidden weaponry. The droid also had the ability to directly tap into the onboard flight computer of Tracyaat, his former personal ship, for co-pilot duties.

randyrumrnr, also known as Tommy, was born on the Mandalorian world of Concord Dawn. While his family's clan was relatively small, they were well known within the Mandalorian community for their propensity for pulling off daring supply raids of nearby systems.

The first few years of Tommy's life was that of a typical child born into Mandalorian Warrior culture. The Mandalorians were a clan-based cultural group that was composed of members from multiple species all bound by a common culture, creed, and code. They originated on the planet Mandalore in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and had a particularly important role in galactic history as legendary warriors against the Jedi. From their home world, Mandalorians had flourished across Mandalorian Space and the galaxy at large, colonizing worlds such as Kalevala, Krownest, and Concord Dawn.

Tommy spent most of his days learning about Mandalorian culture, working in the community farm fields and learning the art of combat. At the age of 7 he accompanied his clan on a supply raid of Eufornis Minor, an outer rim planet, in search of medical supplies.

'''Cuy'val Dar'''

In 30 BBY a Mandalorian Warrior named Jango Fett made contact with Tommy's parents, he knew well of their abilities in covert operations from the various raids they had pulled off for the good of the Mandalorian communities on Concord Dawn. His proposal was one they could not turn down. He was inviting them, along with 73 other Mandalorian warriors to help train a new army. These 75 Mandalorians would join up with another 25 well known individuals and become known as the Cuy'val Dar.

The Cuy'val Dar were a group of one hundred individuals summoned by Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, to come to the watery world of Kamino to train clone troopers for the Galactic Republic. Of these one hundred males and females, seventy-five were Mandalorians like Fett, and in the Mandalorian language Cuy'val Dar meant "those who no longer exist"—a name stemming from the need for these individuals to disappear to Kamino without contact with the outside galaxy due to the secrecy surrounding the developing Grand Army of the Republic. For close to ten years, these one hundred training sergeants trained the Grand Army's ten thousand clone commandos until their deployment at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, which sparked the galactic Clone Wars. With their contract up, many of the Cuy'val Dar trainers went back to their lives, but a small number continued professional relations with the Republic, returning to train further generations of clones on Kamino, and later cross-training standard clone soldiers with commando skills.

As far as your friends and family are concerned, you're already dead."''
―Jango Fett, recruiting the Cuy'val Dar</center>

Tommy accompanied his parents to the watery world of Kamino, where at only 8 years old, would be put through the same training regimen as his Clone counterparts. While his Clone brethren initially looked upon the outsider as a mongrel, what the clone troopers would refer to as anyone not of cloned status, they quickly accepted him as one of their own after impressing them with his capabilities as a young fighter. It was also here that he met the love of his life, Caro, a young female Twi'lek warrior as part of the Cuy'val Dar contingent.

Tommy's grandfather had been an expert artillery gunner, victorious in many previous conflicts. It was through his stories and short amount of training, before his grandfather's death, that led Tommy to be assigned to the special training unit of Clone Artillery Troopers. Clone Artillery Troopers were clone troopers of the Galactic Republic that specialized in using mortars and other artillery pieces such as the Model 201 mortar system, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser and the AV-7 Mobile Cannon.

==The Clone Wars:==
With the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Tommy was promoted to the rank of Bombardier in the Grand Army of the Republic and assigned to the 31st Artillery Regiment. This regiment was a specialized artillery unit primarily focused on close combat artillery support.
The 31st Artillery Regiment, quickly became known as the 'Flying Pig' regiment, tantamount to their successful actions at the battles of Geonosis, Commenor, Mygeeto and Felucia.

'''Battle of Geonosis'''

The 31st Artillery Regiment's first taste of combat was on the dusty planet of Geonosis. Tasked with providing support fire to the 187th Legion, while being supported in the air by the 127th Gunship Wing, the 'Flying Pig Regiment' was a part of a successful mission in bringing down two Techno Union ships, before they could leave the planet.

[[File:Acethemandalorian.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr during the battle of Geonosis]]

'''Battle of Commenor'''

Again the 31st Artillery Regiment was deployed in unison of the 187th Legion in defense of Commenor from an attempted invasion by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After several weeks of fighting, the CIS were driven from the system.

'''Third battle of Mygeeto'''

In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, a conflict erupted on Mygeeto between the CIS and the Galactic Republic known as the Third Battle of Mygeeto. The Separatist General known as Grievous brought a group from the Separatist Droid Army to Mygeeto. He was joined by Separatist Colonel Coburn Sear, who had narrowly escaped capture by the Republic on Kardoa. Jedi General Depa Billaba, her padawan Caleb Dume and their battalion of Republic clone troopers were sent to Mygeeto to confront the Separatist presence. Deployed with them was the 31st Artillery Regiment. Tommy often found himself butting heads against his Jedi General, out of his pure spite of the Jedi, leading him to ignore the Jedi General's orders to fall back and leave a Clone infantry unit to be cut off, moving his gun line closer in support of the surrounded Clone unit. After a short but furious battle, the Clone unit was able to hold out and survive. Tommy vowed to never follow another Jedi General's orders again.

'''Battle of Felucia'''

A key planet for control of the Perlemian Trade Route, Felucia was the location of several battles between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the first battle on the planet saw the Republic forces, led by Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Plo Koon, dislodged by a Separatist onslaught via blockade.

Later in the war, Separatist forces destroyed the Republic medical station orbiting the planet, deploying a Vulture droid deployment station to safeguard their hold on the system. Around this time, a nysillin farming community was terrorized by Hondo Ohnaka's Florrum-based pirate gang, who stole the settlers' crop harvest. In order to protect themselves, the farmers hired a group of bounty hunters which consisted of Sugi, Embo, Seripas and Rumi Paramita. This group later grew to include stranded Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. With their assistance, the farmers were able to fend off the pirate band and protect their village.

In 20 BBY, elements of the Republic Army, led by Generals Koon and Skywalker and Commander Tano fought to take a Separatist outpost and holdout on the planet; the assault ended with the elimination of the Separatist, outpost, though it also resulted in Ahsoka Tano's kidnapping by rogue Trandoshan hunters.

Later, during the Outer Rim Sieges of 19 BBY, yet another battle was fought on the planet; this time Jedi Master Aayla Secura, Commander Bly, and their 327th Star Corps, along with the 31st Artillery Regiment, were sent to the planet to capture Separatist Council member Shu Mai.

While he was fighting on the gun line, Order 66 came out. Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was a top secret order identifying all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic. Tommy was relishing the thought of potentially getting to fight the hated Jedi for real after all the pain and anguish they had set upon the Mandalorians as a culture over the millenia and for the disregard shown by Jedi towards his clone bretheren when he received a distress call from Caro, now his fiancé, who was was leading a scouting party to the west of their position with a Jedi Commander and her platoon.

Tommy handed the gun line over to his Clone XO, Dropshort, and rushed to Caro's co-ordinates. He found her mortally wounded by a lightsaber injury to the abdomen. Knowing medical help would never make it in time, Tommy and Caro spent their last moments together reciting the Mandalorian poem, reinvented as a war chant, Dha Werda Verda.
Tommy spent the next four days tracking down the Jedi who killed his love, fighting in a bitter duel where Tommy rose the victor thanks to the cortosis weaved into his gauntlets, allowing him to absorb the blows of his enemies Lightasber.

<center>''The ash of the Taung beats strong within the Mandalorians' heart.</center>
<center>''We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow,''</center>
<center>''The first noble sons of Mandalore.''</center>
<center>''Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.''</center>
<center>''Our vengeance burns brighter still.''</center>

<center>''Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.''</center>
<center>''Our vengeance burns brighter still.''</center>
<center>- Dha Werda Verda</center>

Completely disillusioned by the Jedi and their war, Tommy carried Caro's body back to the main gun line before stealing an LAAT Gunship and making it off-world. Making contact with Caro's parents to inform them of what happened. At the behest of Caro's parents, Tommy made his way to the Twi'lek home planet of Ryloth. It was here that they performed The Mandalorian Death Ceremony ("kote kyr'am" in Mando'a) was an event where Mandalorians honor their fallen warriors who died facing impossible odds. To ensure their warrior's spirit can join their Mandalorian paragons, the body is burned on an elevated pyre. Clan members send shouts into the sky, bellowing war cries and retelling feats. The night becomes a celebration of drunken feasting and brawling in honor of the dead.

'''The family business'''

Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene. Although many clones went on to die from their accelerated growth genes, many were saved through the hard work of the network.

'''The loss of Tracyaat'''

During a skirmish against the forces attempting to invade ''Velabri'', Tommy's personal ship ''Tracyaat'' was critically damaged. Moments after his shields were brought down from an Ion cannon, the ship was pierced by a concussions missile. The missile punched through, exploding on exit, ripping apart the nose of the craft.

With the craft venting oxygen and losing power, Tommy had no choice but to abandon ship. Arming the self destruct and downloading Combat Gonks programming, he ejected from the doomed ship. The gravitation forces from the planet below pulled Tommy into the atmosphere and down towards the surface.

'''A new ship, a new beginning'''

Tommy spent several weeks planetside, constantly eluding enemy forces, looking for any chance of escape. His moment came shortly after a running gun battle with a bounty hunter trying to claim the bounty on Tommy. It was here that after dispatching his foe, Tommy then claimed the hunters ship as his own. The ship was a modified YT-2400 light freighter. The ship had been retrofitted internally to allow a larger cargo hold for spice running and holding of captives. On his return to Mandalorian space, Tommy had the ship outfitted back to it's more standard layout, with substantial upgrades to both the shields and engines. Tommy subsequently renamed the ship '''Shield Maiden''' in honour and memory of his fiance's title, bestowed upon her during her time as a Mandalorian warrior.

==Emperor's Hammer Military Career==
Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene.

Tommy took this time to make a change in his military career at the suggestion of another member from the Cuy'val Dar and coincidentally father to another Rho Squadron pilot, Jarion Renalds, enlisting in the Imperial Pilots Academy. After graduating from the Academy with the prestigious Gold Wings and a short tour of duty on the Daedalus platform, Tommy was transferred to Rho Squadron, a Strike unit aboard the ISDII Warrior. Moving up from Rho 7 to Squadron XO, with the re-assignment of General Hav Antiel, Tommy was awarded command of Rho Squadron.

6 months later RA Zekk Terrik approached Tommy with a proposition to revive a multi-role squadron. Primarily used as a bomber squadron with a flight of Interceptors to provide cover for the slower bombers, Sigma Squadron also deploys to the ground in a pacification role. Offering specialist roles as not only pilots, but ground units, to help quell recently controlled planets populaces.

Decommission of Sigma Squadron

While not seen as an illustrious posting, Sigma Squadron struggled to recruit new pilots to her ranks. Despite her pilots best efforts, her commission was cut short by the EH Admirality, with remaining pilots being transferred into the ranks of Theta Squadron.

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood - Clan Odan-Urr - Okami Mandalorians:==
During his time off from active duty, Tommy assisted both his clan and a larger cadre of Mandalorians working in a somwhat humanitarian role, providing training, support and military aide to smaller worlds known to be preyed upon by their stronger neighbours. The majority of this action was spent just outside what is known as the ''Smuggler's run'' on the planets ''Naos'' and ''Velabri''.

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Okami was not lost on Tommy, having been from Concord Dawn himself, he was well aware of the rich Mandalorian history that went with the Okami. As fate would have it, he crossed paths with his Mandalorian cousins while travelling thought the Kiast system. Needing the credits and more importantly, feeling the need to see combat and family again, Tommy took his new friends up on the offer to join their ranks. While his ties to the Resol'nare cannot be questioned, no one is quite sure as to why he chose to join an organization with so many adept force users within it, given randyrumrnr’s personal grievances with them. Some speculate it is so he can sidle up to them, easier to stick a vibroblade in that way.

'''Resurrection of Tython Squadron'''
It was during his time in the ranks of Odan-Urr that Tommy came across the disused hangar of Tython Squadron. Noting that the clann severely lacked a readiness response unit, Tommy approached Clan Odan-Urr's Consul, Revak Kurr, about bringing Tython back into the fold as an active military unit. Currently the unit is undergoing a full refit to both it's craft and personnel.

==Mandalorian Armour==
'''Armour colouring:'''
The most recognizable symbol of the Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian armor was a catch-all term for the sets of distinctive full-body armor worn by Mandalorian warriors and soldiers throughout galactic history. Known as beskar'gam in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a—a name which meant "iron skin" when translated into Basic—Mandalorian armor was central to the Mandalorian way of life. The wearing of armor was one of the Resol'nare, the six tenets that defined the Mandalorian culture. In an expansive community of beings from numerous origins, the easily identifiable armor not only provided protection for the wearer, but a common visual identity for any and all Mandalorians, regardless of species or gender.

The appearance of a Mandalorian's armor was largely up to the individual, as the highly independent Mandalorian people customized their armor with different colored paint schemes, clan and unit sigils, personalized glyphs, or other marking patterns in accordance to their own tastes. While many may think Mandalorians paint their armour in their favourite colours, while this may be true to a small fraction, there is actually meaning behind the colours that Mandalorians adorn upon themselves or by others.

While Okami Mandalorians proudly wear their clan colours of off-white and burnt yellow adorned on their beskar'gam, Tommy's armour is predominantly royal blue, referencing his reliability which was bestowed upon him by his family. The forest green found upon his armour was chosen by that of Cora's family, while not born into Mandalorian culture she adopted it upon her relationship with Tommy, her family seeing the dedication Tommy applied to their daughter. The green signifies duty to ones family.

While Tommy has worn this colour combination since, he has made just one slight modification to the colouring. Upon the death of Cora, Tommy painted a grey strip which runs down the left eye of his visor, letting all other Mandalorians known he is mourning a lost love.

==Former Personal Ships==
'''Tracyaat:'''
Tommy's first personal craft was a heavily modified HWK-290 Light Freighter. Though an older ship, first released in 9 BBY, with the modifications made to it, allows the ship to continue service well into the current generation of light freighters.

Tracyaat, meaning Artillery in Mandalorian, measures twenty-nine meters in length and requires a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Tommy negates this by utilizing his modified Combat Gonk droid as his co-pilot. The freighter can accommodate up to six passengers and 150 tons of cargo.

[[File:Tracyaat.jpg|thumb|randyrumrnr's former personal ship - Tracyaat]]

==Combat Gonk==
Despite the fact that Tommy despises droids, from his time fighting them in the Clone Wars, he does in fact keep a droid in tow. It is more of a sick joke, rather than out of necessity, as he uses it as a slave to collect beverages and food for him and his pilots. Tommy has modified a standard Gonk droid with combat programming and some hidden weaponry. The droid also had the ability to directly tap into the onboard flight computer of Tracyaat, his former personal ship, for co-pilot duties.

'''randyrumrnr''' currently serves Clan Odan-Urr as a House Guardian and member of the Okami Mandalorians.

==Biography==
'''Early years:'''

randyrumrnr, also known as Tommy, was born on the Mandalorian world of Concord Dawn. While his family's clan was relatively small, they were well known within the Mandalorian community for their propensity for pulling off daring supply raids of nearby systems.

The first few years of Tommy's life was that of a typical child born into Mandalorian Warrior culture. The Mandalorians were a clan-based cultural group that was composed of members from multiple species all bound by a common culture, creed, and code. They originated on the planet Mandalore in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and had a particularly important role in galactic history as legendary warriors against the Jedi. From their home world, Mandalorians had flourished across Mandalorian Space and the galaxy at large, colonizing worlds such as Kalevala, Krownest, and Concord Dawn.

<center>''"When one chooses to walk the Way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life?"
―A Mandalorian armorer''</center>

Tommy spent most of his days learning about Mandalorian culture, working in the community farm fields and learning the art of combat. At the age of 7 he accompanied his clan on a supply raid of Eufornis Minor, an outer rim planet, in search of medical supplies.

'''Cuy'val Dar'''

In 30 BBY a Mandalorian Warrior named Jango Fett made contact with Tommy's parents, he knew well of their abilities in covert operations from the various raids they had pulled off for the good of the Mandalorian communities on Concord Dawn. His proposal was one they could not turn down. He was inviting them, along with 73 other Mandalorian warriors to help train a new army. These 75 Mandalorians would join up with another 25 well known individuals and become known as the Cuy'val Dar.

The Cuy'val Dar were a group of one hundred individuals summoned by Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, to come to the watery world of Kamino to train clone troopers for the Galactic Republic. Of these one hundred males and females, seventy-five were Mandalorians like Fett, and in the Mandalorian language Cuy'val Dar meant "those who no longer exist"—a name stemming from the need for these individuals to disappear to Kamino without contact with the outside galaxy due to the secrecy surrounding the developing Grand Army of the Republic. For close to ten years, these one hundred training sergeants trained the Grand Army's ten thousand clone commandos until their deployment at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, which sparked the galactic Clone Wars. With their contract up, many of the Cuy'val Dar trainers went back to their lives, but a small number continued professional relations with the Republic, returning to train further generations of clones on Kamino, and later cross-training standard clone soldiers with commando skills.

<center>''"You're the best in your field—the best soldiers, tacticians, sappers, communicators, survival experts. I picked you personally because I want you to train the best commandos in the galaxy. You'll have everything you need, whatever you want, except one thing—home. This is a top-secret project. You'll not tell anyone where you're going and you'll not leave Kamino, ever. As far as your friends and family are concerned, you're already dead."''
―Jango Fett, recruiting the Cuy'val Dar</center>

Tommy accompanied his parents to the watery world of Kamino, where at only 8 years old, would be put through the same training regimen as his Clone counterparts. While his Clone brethren initially looked upon the outsider as a mongrel, what the clone troopers would refer to as anyone not of cloned status, they quickly accepted him as one of their own after impressing them with his capabilities as a young fighter. It was also here that he met the love of his life, Caro, a young female Twi'lek warrior as part of the Cuy'val Dar contingent.

Tommy's grandfather had been an expert artillery gunner, victorious in many previous conflicts. It was through his stories and short amount of training, before his grandfather's death, that led Tommy to be assigned to the special training unit of Clone Artillery Troopers. Clone Artillery Troopers were clone troopers of the Galactic Republic that specialized in using mortars and other artillery pieces such as the Model 201 mortar system, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser and the AV-7 Mobile Cannon.

==The Clone Wars:==
With the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Tommy was promoted to the rank of Bombardier in the Grand Army of the Republic and assigned to the 31st Artillery Regiment. This regiment was a specialized artillery unit primarily focused on close combat artillery support.
The 31st Artillery Regiment, quickly became known as the 'Flying Pig' regiment, tantamount to their successful actions at the battles of Geonosis, Commenor, Mygeeto and Felucia.

'''Battle of Geonosis'''

The 31st Artillery Regiment's first taste of combat was on the dusty planet of Geonosis. Tasked with providing support fire to the 187th Legion, while being supported in the air by the 127th Gunship Wing, the 'Flying Pig Regiment' was a part of a successful mission in bringing down two Techno Union ships, before they could leave the planet.

[[File:Acethemandalorian.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr during the battle of Geonosis]]

'''Battle of Commenor'''

Again the 31st Artillery Regiment was deployed in unison of the 187th Legion in defense of Commenor from an attempted invasion by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After several weeks of fighting, the CIS were driven from the system.

'''Third battle of Mygeeto'''

In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, a conflict erupted on Mygeeto between the CIS and the Galactic Republic known as the Third Battle of Mygeeto. The Separatist General known as Grievous brought a group from the Separatist Droid Army to Mygeeto. He was joined by Separatist Colonel Coburn Sear, who had narrowly escaped capture by the Republic on Kardoa. Jedi General Depa Billaba, her padawan Caleb Dume and their battalion of Republic clone troopers were sent to Mygeeto to confront the Separatist presence. Deployed with them was the 31st Artillery Regiment. Tommy often found himself butting heads against his Jedi General, out of his pure spite of the Jedi, leading him to ignore the Jedi General's orders to fall back and leave a Clone infantry unit to be cut off, moving his gun line closer in support of the surrounded Clone unit. After a short but furious battle, the Clone unit was able to hold out and survive. Tommy vowed to never follow another Jedi General's orders again.

'''Battle of Felucia'''

A key planet for control of the Perlemian Trade Route, Felucia was the location of several battles between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the first battle on the planet saw the Republic forces, led by Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Plo Koon, dislodged by a Separatist onslaught via blockade.

Later in the war, Separatist forces destroyed the Republic medical station orbiting the planet, deploying a Vulture droid deployment station to safeguard their hold on the system. Around this time, a nysillin farming community was terrorized by Hondo Ohnaka's Florrum-based pirate gang, who stole the settlers' crop harvest. In order to protect themselves, the farmers hired a group of bounty hunters which consisted of Sugi, Embo, Seripas and Rumi Paramita. This group later grew to include stranded Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. With their assistance, the farmers were able to fend off the pirate band and protect their village.

In 20 BBY, elements of the Republic Army, led by Generals Koon and Skywalker and Commander Tano fought to take a Separatist outpost and holdout on the planet; the assault ended with the elimination of the Separatist, outpost, though it also resulted in Ahsoka Tano's kidnapping by rogue Trandoshan hunters.

Later, during the Outer Rim Sieges of 19 BBY, yet another battle was fought on the planet; this time Jedi Master Aayla Secura, Commander Bly, and their 327th Star Corps, along with the 31st Artillery Regiment, were sent to the planet to capture Separatist Council member Shu Mai.

While he was fighting on the gun line, Order 66 came out. Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was a top secret order identifying all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic. Tommy was relishing the thought of potentially getting to fight the hated Jedi for real after all the pain and anguish they had set upon the Mandalorians as a culture over the millenia and for the disregard shown by Jedi towards his clone bretheren when he received a distress call from Caro, now his fiancé, who was was leading a scouting party to the west of their position with a Jedi Commander and her platoon.

Tommy handed the gun line over to his Clone XO, Dropshort, and rushed to Caro's co-ordinates. He found her mortally wounded by a lightsaber injury to the abdomen. Knowing medical help would never make it in time, Tommy and Caro spent their last moments together reciting the Mandalorian poem, reinvented as a war chant, Dha Werda Verda.
Tommy spent the next four days tracking down the Jedi who killed his love, fighting in a bitter duel where Tommy rose the victor thanks to the cortosis weaved into his gauntlets, allowing him to absorb the blows of his enemies Lightasber.

Completely disillusioned by the Jedi and their war, Tommy carried Caro's body back to the main gun line before stealing an LAAT Gunship and making it off-world. Making contact with Caro's parents to inform them of what happened. At the behest of Caro's parents, Tommy made his way to the Twi'lek home planet of Ryloth. It was here that they performed The Mandalorian Death Ceremony ("kote kyr'am" in Mando'a) was an event where Mandalorians honor their fallen warriors who died facing impossible odds.

The majority of this action was spent just outside what is known as the ''Smuggler's run'' on the planets ''Naos'' and ''Velabri''.

'''The loss of Tracyaat'''

During a skirmish against the forces attempting to invade ''Velabri'', Tommy's personal ship ''Tracyaat'' was critically damaged. Moments after his shields were brought down from an Ion cannon, the ship was pierced by a concussions missile. The missile punched through, exploding on exit, ripping apart the nose of the craft.

It was here that after dispatching his foe, Tommy then claimed the hunters ship as his own. The ship was a modified YT-2400 light freighter. The ship had been retrofitted internally to allow a larger cargo hold for spice running and holding of captives. On his return to Mandalorian space, Tommy had the ship outfitted back to it's more standard layout, with substantial upgrades to both the shields and engines. Tommy subsequently renamed the ship '''Shield Maiden''' in honour and memory of his fiance's title, bestowed upon her during her time as a Mandalorian warrior.

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood - Clan Odan-Urr - Okami Mandalorians:==
Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene. Although many clones went on to die from their accelerated growth genes, many were saved through the hard work of the network.

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Okami was not lost on Tommy, having been from Concord Dawn himself, he was well aware of the rich Mandalorian history that went with the Okami. As fate would have it, he crossed paths with his Mandalorian cousins while travelling thought the Kiast system. Needing the credits and more importantly, feeling the need to see combat and family again, Tommy took his new friends up on the offer to join their ranks. While his ties to the Resol'nare cannot be questioned, no one is quite sure as to why he chose to join an organization with so many adept force users within it, given randyrumrnr’s personal grievances with them. Some speculate it is so he can sidle up to them, easier to stick a vibroblade in that way.

While his Clone brethren initially looked upon the outsider as a mongrel, what the clone troopers would refer to as anyone not of cloned status, they quickly accepted him as one of their own after impressing them with his capabilities as a young fighter. It was also here that he met the love of his life, Caro, a young female Twi'lek warrior as part of the Cuy'val Dar contingent.

Tommy's grandfather had been an expert artillery gunner, victorious in many previous conflicts. It was through his stories and short amount of training, before his grandfather's death, that led Tommy to be assigned to the special training unit of Clone Artillery Troopers. Clone Artillery Troopers were clone troopers of the Galactic Republic that specialized in using mortars and other artillery pieces such as the Model 201 mortar system, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser and the AV-7 Mobile Cannon.

==The Clone Wars:==
With the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Tommy was promoted to the rank of Bombardier in the Grand Army of the Republic and assigned to the 31st Artillery Regiment. This regiment was a specialized artillery unit primarily focused on close combat artillery support.
The 31st Artillery Regiment, quickly became known as the 'Flying Pig' regiment, tantamount to their successful actions at the battles of Geonosis, Commenor, Mygeeto and Felucia.

'''Battle of Geonosis'''

The 31st Artillery Regiment's first taste of combat was on the dusty planet of Geonosis. Tasked with providing support fire to the 187th Legion, while being supported in the air by the 127th Gunship Wing, the 'Flying Pig Regiment' was a part of a successful mission in bringing down two Techno Union ships, before they could leave the planet.

'''Battle of Commenor'''

Again the 31st Artillery Regiment was deployed in unison of the 187th Legion in defense of Commenor from an attempted invasion by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After several weeks of fighting, the CIS were driven from the system.

'''Third battle of Mygeeto'''

In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, a conflict erupted on Mygeeto between the CIS and the Galactic Republic known as the Third Battle of Mygeeto. The Separatist General known as Grievous brought a group from the Separatist Droid Army to Mygeeto. He was joined by Separatist Colonel Coburn Sear, who had narrowly escaped capture by the Republic on Kardoa. Jedi General Depa Billaba, her padawan Caleb Dume and their battalion of Republic clone troopers were sent to Mygeeto to confront the Separatist presence. Deployed with them was the 31st Artillery Regiment. Tommy often found himself butting heads against his Jedi General, out of his pure spite of the Jedi, leading him to ignore the Jedi General's orders to fall back and leave a Clone infantry unit to be cut off, moving his gun line closer in support of the surrounded Clone unit. After a short but furious battle, the Clone unit was able to hold out and survive. Tommy vowed to never follow another Jedi General's orders again.

'''Battle of Felucia'''

A key planet for control of the Perlemian Trade Route, Felucia was the location of several battles between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the first battle on the planet saw the Republic forces, led by Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Plo Koon, dislodged by a Separatist onslaught via blockade.

Later in the war, Separatist forces destroyed the Republic medical station orbiting the planet, deploying a Vulture droid deployment station to safeguard their hold on the system. Around this time, a nysillin farming community was terrorized by Hondo Ohnaka's Florrum-based pirate gang, who stole the settlers' crop harvest. In order to protect themselves, the farmers hired a group of bounty hunters which consisted of Sugi, Embo, Seripas and Rumi Paramita. This group later grew to include stranded Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. With their assistance, the farmers were able to fend off the pirate band and protect their village.

In 20 BBY, elements of the Republic Army, led by Generals Koon and Skywalker and Commander Tano fought to take a Separatist outpost and holdout on the planet; the assault ended with the elimination of the Separatist, outpost, though it also resulted in Ahsoka Tano's kidnapping by rogue Trandoshan hunters.

Later, during the Outer Rim Sieges of 19 BBY, yet another battle was fought on the planet; this time Jedi Master Aayla Secura, Commander Bly, and their 327th Star Corps, along with the 31st Artillery Regiment, were sent to the planet to capture Separatist Council member Shu Mai.

While he was fighting on the gun line, Order 66 came out. Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was a top secret order identifying all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic. Tommy was relishing the thought of potentially getting to fight the hated Jedi for real after all the pain and anguish they had set upon the Mandalorians as a culture over the millenia and for the disregard shown by Jedi towards his clone bretheren when he received a distress call from Caro, now his fiancé, who was was leading a scouting party to the west of their position with a Jedi Commander and her platoon.

Tommy handed the gun line over to his Clone XO, Dropshort, and rushed to Caro's co-ordinates. He found her mortally wounded by a lightsaber injury to the abdomen. Knowing medical help would never make it in time, Tommy and Caro spent their last moments together reciting the Mandalorian poem, reinvented as a war chant, Dha Werda Verda.
Tommy spent the next four days tracking down the Jedi who killed his love, fighting in a bitter duel where Tommy rose the victor thanks to the cortosis weaved into his gauntlets, allowing him to absorb the blows of his enemies Lightasber.

<center>''The ash of the Taung beats strong within the Mandalorians' heart.</center>
<center>''We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow,''</center>
<center>''The first noble sons of Mandalore.''</center>
<center>''Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.''</center>

<center>''Our vengeance burns brighter still.''</center>
<center>- Dha Werda Verda</center>

Completely disillusioned by the Jedi and their war, Tommy carried Caro's body back to the main gun line before stealing an LAAT Gunship and making it off-world. Making contact with Caro's parents to inform them of what happened. At the behest of Caro's parents, Tommy made his way to the Twi'lek home planet of Ryloth. It was here that they performed The Mandalorian Death Ceremony ("kote kyr'am" in Mando'a) was an event where Mandalorians honor their fallen warriors who died facing impossible odds. To ensure their warrior's spirit can join their Mandalorian paragons, the body is burned on an elevated pyre. Clan members send shouts into the sky, bellowing war cries and retelling feats. The night becomes a celebration of drunken feasting and brawling in honor of the dead.

'''The family business'''

During his time off from active duty, Tommy assisted both his clan and a larger cadre of Mandalorians working in a somwhat humanitarian role, providing training, support and military aide to smaller worlds known to be preyed upon by their stronger neighbours. The majority of this action was spent just outside what is known as the ''Smuggler's run'' on the planets ''Naos'' and ''Velabri''.

'''The loss of Tracyaat'''

During a skirmish against the forces attempting to invade ''Velabri'', Tommy's personal ship ''Tracyaat'' was critically damaged. Moments after his shields were brought down from an Ion cannon, the ship was pierced by a concussions missile. The missile punched through, exploding on exit, ripping apart the nose of the craft.

With the craft venting oxygen and losing power, Tommy had no choice but to abandon ship. Arming the self destruct and downloading Combat Gonks programming, he ejected from the doomed ship. The gravitation forces from the planet below pulled Tommy into the atmosphere and down towards the surface.

'''A new ship, a new beginning'''

Tommy spent several weeks planetside, constantly eluding enemy forces, looking for any chance of escape. His moment came shortly after a running gun battle with a bounty hunter trying to claim the bounty on Tommy. It was here that after dispatching his foe, Tommy then claimed the hunters ship as his own. The ship was a modified YT-2400 light freighter. The ship had been retrofitted internally to allow a larger cargo hold for spice running and holding of captives. On his return to Mandalorian space, Tommy had the ship outfitted back to it's more standard layout, with substantial upgrades to both the shields and engines. Tommy subsequently renamed the ship '''Shield Maiden''' in honour and memory of his fiance's title, bestowed upon her during her time as a Mandalorian warrior.

[[File:Shieldmaiden3.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr's personal ship - Shield Maiden]]

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood - Clan Odan-Urr - Okami Mandalorians:==
Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene. Although many clones went on to die from their accelerated growth genes, many were saved through the hard work of the network.

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Okami was not lost on Tommy, having been from Concord Dawn himself, he was well aware of the rich Mandalorian history that went with the Okami. As fate would have it, he crossed paths with his Mandalorian cousins while travelling thought the Kiast system. Needing the credits and more importantly, feeling the need to see combat and family again, Tommy took his new friends up on the offer to join their ranks. While his ties to the Resol'nare cannot be questioned, no one is quite sure as to why he chose to join an organization with so many adept force users within it, given randyrumrnr’s personal grievances with them. Some speculate it is so he can sidle up to them, easier to stick a vibroblade in that way.

==Mandalorian Armour==
'''Armour colouring:'''
The most recognizable symbol of the Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian armor was a catch-all term for the sets of distinctive full-body armor worn by Mandalorian warriors and soldiers throughout galactic history. Known as beskar'gam in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a—a name which meant "iron skin" when translated into Basic—Mandalorian armor was central to the Mandalorian way of life. The wearing of armor was one of the Resol'nare, the six tenets that defined the Mandalorian culture. In an expansive community of beings from numerous origins, the easily identifiable armor not only provided protection for the wearer, but a common visual identity for any and all Mandalorians, regardless of species or gender.

The appearance of a Mandalorian's armor was largely up to the individual, as the highly independent Mandalorian people customized their armor with different colored paint schemes, clan and unit sigils, personalized glyphs, or other marking patterns in accordance to their own tastes. While many may think Mandalorians paint their armour in their favourite colours, while this may be true to a small fraction, there is actually meaning behind the colours that Mandalorians adorn upon themselves or by others.

While Okami Mandalorians proudly wear their clan colours of off-white and burnt yellow adorned on their beskar'gam, Tommy's armour is predominantly royal blue, referencing his reliability which was bestowed upon him by his family. The forest green found upon his armour was chosen by that of Cora's family, while not born into Mandalorian culture she adopted it upon her relationship with Tommy, her family seeing the dedication Tommy applied to their daughter. The green signifies duty to ones family.

While Tommy has worn this colour combination since, he has made just one slight modification to the colouring. Upon the death of Cora, Tommy painted a grey strip which runs down the left eye of his visor, letting all other Mandalorians known he is mourning a lost love.

[[File:Acemandalorian.jpeg|thumb|randyrumrnr performing rear guard action]]

==Former Personal Ships==
'''Tracyaat:'''
Tommy's first personal craft was a heavily modified HWK-290 Light Freighter. Though an older ship, first released in 9 BBY, with the modifications made to it, allows the ship to continue service well into the current generation of light freighters.

Tracyaat, meaning Artillery in Mandalorian, measures twenty-nine meters in length and requires a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Tommy negates this by utilizing his modified Combat Gonk droid as his co-pilot. The freighter can accommodate up to six passengers and 150 tons of cargo.

[[File:Tracyaat.jpg|thumb|randyrumrnr's former personal ship - Tracyaat]]

==Combat Gonk==
Despite the fact that Tommy despises droids, from his time fighting them in the Clone Wars, he does in fact keep a droid in tow. It is more of a sick joke, rather than out of necessity, as he uses it as a slave to collect beverages and food for him and his pilots. Tommy has modified a standard Gonk droid with combat programming and some hidden weaponry. The droid also had the ability to directly tap into the onboard flight computer of Tracyaat, his former personal ship, for co-pilot duties.

==Biography==
'''Early years:'''

randyrumrnr, also known as Tommy, was born on the Mandalorian world of Concord Dawn. While his family's clan was relatively small, they were well known within the Mandalorian community for their propensity for pulling off daring supply raids of nearby systems.

The first few years of Tommy's life was that of a typical child born into Mandalorian Warrior culture. The Mandalorians were a clan-based cultural group that was composed of members from multiple species all bound by a common culture, creed, and code. They originated on the planet Mandalore in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories and had a particularly important role in galactic history as legendary warriors against the Jedi. From their home world, Mandalorians had flourished across Mandalorian Space and the galaxy at large, colonizing worlds such as Kalevala, Krownest, and Concord Dawn.

<center>''"When one chooses to walk the Way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life?"
―A Mandalorian armorer''</center>

Tommy spent most of his days learning about Mandalorian culture, working in the community farm fields and learning the art of combat. At the age of 7 he accompanied his clan on a supply raid of Eufornis Minor, an outer rim planet, in search of medical supplies.

'''Cuy'val Dar'''

In 30 BBY a Mandalorian Warrior named Jango Fett made contact with Tommy's parents, he knew well of their abilities in covert operations from the various raids they had pulled off for the good of the Mandalorian communities on Concord Dawn. His proposal was one they could not turn down. He was inviting them, along with 73 other Mandalorian warriors to help train a new army. These 75 Mandalorians would join up with another 25 well known individuals and become known as the Cuy'val Dar.

The Cuy'val Dar were a group of one hundred individuals summoned by Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, to come to the watery world of Kamino to train clone troopers for the Galactic Republic. Of these one hundred males and females, seventy-five were Mandalorians like Fett, and in the Mandalorian language Cuy'val Dar meant "those who no longer exist"—a name stemming from the need for these individuals to disappear to Kamino without contact with the outside galaxy due to the secrecy surrounding the developing Grand Army of the Republic. For close to ten years, these one hundred training sergeants trained the Grand Army's ten thousand clone commandos until their deployment at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, which sparked the galactic Clone Wars. With their contract up, many of the Cuy'val Dar trainers went back to their lives, but a small number continued professional relations with the Republic, returning to train further generations of clones on Kamino, and later cross-training standard clone soldiers with commando skills.

<center>''"You're the best in your field—the best soldiers, tacticians, sappers, communicators, survival experts. I picked you personally because I want you to train the best commandos in the galaxy. You'll have everything you need, whatever you want, except one thing—home. This is a top-secret project. You'll not tell anyone where you're going and you'll not leave Kamino, ever. As far as your friends and family are concerned, you're already dead."''
―Jango Fett, recruiting the Cuy'val Dar</center>

Tommy accompanied his parents to the watery world of Kamino, where at only 8 years old, would be put through the same training regimen as his Clone counterparts. While his Clone brethren initially looked upon the outsider as a mongrel, what the clone troopers would refer to as anyone not of cloned status, they quickly accepted him as one of their own after impressing them with his capabilities as a young fighter.

Although many clones went on to die from their accelerated growth genes, many were saved through the hard work of the network.

It was not long after the work was done on his ship Tommy received comms from his old pal Czarnian, a Mystic within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, wanting to let Tommy know that there was mercenary work to be done for the organization if he wanted it.

Needing the credits and more importantly, feeling the need to see combat again, Tommy took his friend up on the offer, signing on with Clan Odan-Urr as a mercenary. No one is quite sure as to why he chose to join an organization with so many adept force users within it, given randyrumrnr’s personal grievances with them. Some speculate it is so he can sidle up to them, easier to stick a vibroblade in that way.

However, even though his stint with the Brotherhood has been short, his combat prowess and piloting abilities quickly earned him a place within Odan-Urr’s House of Guardian Corps and a place within the highly respected Tython Squadron, an elite unit of pilot/commandos.

The Cuy'val Dar were a group of one hundred individuals summoned by Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett, to come to the watery world of Kamino to train clone troopers for the Galactic Republic. Of these one hundred males and females, seventy-five were Mandalorians like Fett, and in the Mandalorian language Cuy'val Dar meant "those who no longer exist"—a name stemming from the need for these individuals to disappear to Kamino without contact with the outside galaxy due to the secrecy surrounding the developing Grand Army of the Republic. For close to ten years, these one hundred training sergeants trained the Grand Army's ten thousand clone commandos until their deployment at the Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, which sparked the galactic Clone Wars. With their contract up, many of the Cuy'val Dar trainers went back to their lives, but a small number continued professional relations with the Republic, returning to train further generations of clones on Kamino, and later cross-training standard clone soldiers with commando skills.

<center>''"You're the best in your field—the best soldiers, tacticians, sappers, communicators, survival experts. I picked you personally because I want you to train the best commandos in the galaxy. You'll have everything you need, whatever you want, except one thing—home. This is a top-secret project. You'll not tell anyone where you're going and you'll not leave Kamino, ever. As far as your friends and family are concerned, you're already dead."''
―Jango Fett, recruiting the Cuy'val Dar</center>

Tommy accompanied his parents to the watery world of Kamino, where at only 8 years old, would be put through the same training regimen as his Clone counterparts. While his Clone brethren initially looked upon the outsider as a mongrel, what the clone troopers would refer to as anyone not of cloned status, they quickly accepted him as one of their own after impressing them with his capabilities as a young fighter. It was also here that he met the love of his life, Caro, a young female Twi'lek warrior as part of the Cuy'val Dar contingent.

Tommy's grandfather had been an expert artillery gunner, victorious in many previous conflicts. It was through his stories and short amount of training, before his grandfather's death, that led Tommy to be assigned to the special training unit of Clone Artillery Troopers. Clone Artillery Troopers were clone troopers of the Galactic Republic that specialized in using mortars and other artillery pieces such as the Model 201 mortar system, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser and the AV-7 Mobile Cannon.

==The Clone Wars:==
With the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY, Tommy was promoted to the rank of Bombardier in the Grand Army of the Republic and assigned to the 31st Artillery Regiment. This regiment was a specialized artillery unit primarily focused on close combat artillery support.
The 31st Artillery Regiment, quickly became known as the 'Flying Pig' regiment, tantamount to their successful actions at the battles of Geonosis, Commenor, Mygeeto and Felucia.

'''Battle of Geonosis'''

The 31st Artillery Regiment's first taste of combat was on the dusty planet of Geonosis. Tasked with providing support fire to the 187th Legion, while being supported in the air by the 127th Gunship Wing, the 'Flying Pig Regiment' was a part of a successful mission in bringing down two Techno Union ships, before they could leave the planet.

'''Battle of Commenor'''

Again the 31st Artillery Regiment was deployed in unison of the 187th Legion in defense of Commenor from an attempted invasion by the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After several weeks of fighting, the CIS were driven from the system.

'''Third battle of Mygeeto'''

In 19 BBY, during the Clone Wars, a conflict erupted on Mygeeto between the CIS and the Galactic Republic known as the Third Battle of Mygeeto. The Separatist General known as Grievous brought a group from the Separatist Droid Army to Mygeeto. He was joined by Separatist Colonel Coburn Sear, who had narrowly escaped capture by the Republic on Kardoa. Jedi General Depa Billaba, her padawan Caleb Dume and their battalion of Republic clone troopers were sent to Mygeeto to confront the Separatist presence. Deployed with them was the 31st Artillery Regiment. Tommy often found himself butting heads against his Jedi General, out of his pure spite of the Jedi, leading him to ignore the Jedi General's orders to fall back and leave a Clone infantry unit to be cut off, moving his gun line closer in support of the surrounded Clone unit. After a short but furious battle, the Clone unit was able to hold out and survive. Tommy vowed to never follow another Jedi General's orders again.

'''Battle of Felucia'''

A key planet for control of the Perlemian Trade Route, Felucia was the location of several battles between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the first battle on the planet saw the Republic forces, led by Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Plo Koon, dislodged by a Separatist onslaught via blockade.

Later in the war, Separatist forces destroyed the Republic medical station orbiting the planet, deploying a Vulture droid deployment station to safeguard their hold on the system. Around this time, a nysillin farming community was terrorized by Hondo Ohnaka's Florrum-based pirate gang, who stole the settlers' crop harvest. In order to protect themselves, the farmers hired a group of bounty hunters which consisted of Sugi, Embo, Seripas and Rumi Paramita. This group later grew to include stranded Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. With their assistance, the farmers were able to fend off the pirate band and protect their village.

In 20 BBY, elements of the Republic Army, led by Generals Koon and Skywalker and Commander Tano fought to take a Separatist outpost and holdout on the planet; the assault ended with the elimination of the Separatist, outpost, though it also resulted in Ahsoka Tano's kidnapping by rogue Trandoshan hunters.

Later, during the Outer Rim Sieges of 19 BBY, yet another battle was fought on the planet; this time Jedi Master Aayla Secura, Commander Bly, and their 327th Star Corps, along with the 31st Artillery Regiment, were sent to the planet to capture Separatist Council member Shu Mai.

While he was fighting on the gun line, Order 66 came out. Order 66, also known as Clone Protocol 66, was a top secret order identifying all Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic and, therefore, subject to summary execution by the Grand Army of the Republic. Tommy was relishing the thought of potentially getting to fight the hated Jedi for real after all the pain and anguish they had set upon the Mandalorians as a culture over the millenia and for the disregard shown by Jedi towards his clone bretheren when he received a distress call from Caro, now his fiancé, who was was leading a scouting party to the west of their position with a Jedi Commander and her platoon.

Tommy handed the gun line over to his Clone XO, Dropshort, and rushed to Caro's co-ordinates. He found her mortally wounded by a lightsaber injury to the abdomen. Knowing medical help would never make it in time, Tommy and Caro spent their last moments together reciting the Mandalorian poem, reinvented as a war chant, Dha Werda Verda.
Tommy spent the next four days tracking down the Jedi who killed his love, fighting in a bitter duel where Tommy rose the victor thanks to the cortosis weaved into his gauntlets, allowing him to absorb the blows of his enemies Lightasber.

<center>''The ash of the Taung beats strong within the Mandalorians' heart.</center>
<center>''We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow,''</center>
<center>''The first noble sons of Mandalore.''</center>

<center>- Dha Werda Verda</center>

Completely disillusioned by the Jedi and their war, Tommy carried Caro's body back to the main gun line before stealing an LAAT Gunship and making it off-world. Making contact with Caro's parents to inform them of what happened. At the behest of Caro's parents, Tommy made his way to the Twi'lek home planet of Ryloth. It was here that they performed The Mandalorian Death Ceremony ("kote kyr'am" in Mando'a) was an event where Mandalorians honor their fallen warriors who died facing impossible odds. To ensure their warrior's spirit can join their Mandalorian paragons, the body is burned on an elevated pyre. Clan members send shouts into the sky, bellowing war cries and retelling feats. The night becomes a celebration of drunken feasting and brawling in honor of the dead.

'''The family business'''

During his time off from active duty, Tommy assisted both his clan and a larger cadre of Mandalorians working in a somwhat humanitarian role, providing training, support and military aide to smaller worlds known to be preyed upon by their stronger neighbours. The majority of this action was spent just outside what is known as the ''Smuggler's run'' on the planets ''Naos'' and ''Velabri''.

'''The loss of Tracyaat'''

During a skirmish against the forces attempting to invade ''Velabri'', Tommy's personal ship ''Tracyaat'' was critically damaged. Moments after his shields were brought down from an Ion cannon, the ship was pierced by a concussions missile. The missile punched through, exploding on exit, ripping apart the nose of the craft.

With the craft venting oxygen and losing power, Tommy had no choice but to abandon ship. Arming the self destruct and downloading Combat Gonks programming, he ejected from the doomed ship. The gravitation forces from the planet below pulled Tommy into the atmosphere and down towards the surface.

'''A new ship, a new beginning'''

Tommy spent several weeks planetside, constantly eluding enemy forces, looking for any chance of escape. His moment came shortly after a running gun battle with a bounty hunter trying to claim the bounty on Tommy. It was here that after dispatching his foe, Tommy then claimed the hunters ship as his own. The ship was a modified YT-2400 light freighter. The ship had been retrofitted internally to allow a larger cargo hold for spice running and holding of captives. On his return to Mandalorian space, Tommy had the ship outfitted back to it's more standard layout, with substantial upgrades to both the shields and engines. Tommy subsequently renamed the ship '''Shield Maiden''' in honour and memory of his fiance's title, bestowed upon her during her time as a Mandalorian warrior.

==Dark Jedi Brotherhood - Clan Odan-Urr:==
Following the fall of the Republic and the Rise of the Empire, along with Clan Ordo and others, Tommy's clan began a network in order to help Clones escape from the bondage of war and to try and find a solution to the Clones rapid aging gene. Although many clones went on to die from their accelerated growth genes, many were saved through the hard work of the network.

It was not long after the work was done on his ship Tommy received comms from his old pal Czarnian, a Mystic within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, wanting to let Tommy know that there was mercenary work to be done for the organization if he wanted it.

Needing the credits and more importantly, feeling the need to see combat again, Tommy took his friend up on the offer, signing on with Clan Odan-Urr as a mercenary. No one is quite sure as to why he chose to join an organization with so many adept force users within it, given randyrumrnr’s personal grievances with them. Some speculate it is so he can sidle up to them, easier to stick a vibroblade in that way.

However, even though his stint with the Brotherhood has been short, his combat prowess and piloting abilities quickly earned him a place within Odan-Urr’s House of Guardian Corps and a place within the highly respected Tython Squadron, an elite unit of pilot/commandos.

==Mandalorian Armour==
'''Armour colouring:'''
The most recognizable symbol of the Mandalorian culture, Mandalorian armor was a catch-all term for the sets of distinctive full-body armor worn by Mandalorian warriors and soldiers throughout galactic history. Known as beskar'gam in the Mandalorian language of Mando'a—a name which meant "iron skin" when translated into Basic—Mandalorian armor was central to the Mandalorian way of life. The wearing of armor was one of the Resol'nare, the six tenets that defined the Mandalorian culture. In an expansive community of beings from numerous origins, the easily identifiable armor not only provided protection for the wearer, but a common visual identity for any and all Mandalorians, regardless of species or gender.

The appearance of a Mandalorian's armor was largely up to the individual, as the highly independent Mandalorian people customized their armor with different colored paint schemes, clan and unit sigils, personalized glyphs, or other marking patterns in accordance to their own tastes. While many may think Mandalorians paint their armour in their favourite colours, while this may be true to a small fraction, there is actually meaning behind the colours that Mandalorians adorn upon themselves or by others.

Tommy's armour is predominantly royal blue, referencing his reliability which was bestowed upon him by his family. The forest green found upon his armour was chosen by that of Cora's family, while not born into Mandalorian culture she adopted it upon her relationship with Tommy, her family seeing the dedication Tommy applied to their daughter. The green signifies duty.
While Tommy has worn this colour combination since, he has made just one slight modification to the colouring. Upon the death of Cora, Tommy painted a grey strip which runs down the left eye of his visor, letting all other Mandalorians known he is mourning a lost love.

==Personal Ships==
'''Tracyaat:'''
Tommy's first personal craft was a heavily modified HWK-290 Light Freighter. Though an older ship, first released in 9 BBY, with the modifications made to it, allows the ship to continue service well into the current generation of light freighters.

Tracyaat, meaning Artillery in Mandalorian, measures twenty-nine meters in length and requires a pilot and co-pilot to operate. Tommy negates this by utilizing his modified Combat Gonk droid as his co-pilot. The freighter can accommodate up to six passengers and 150 tons of cargo.

[[File:Tracyaat.jpg|thumb|randyrumrnr's former personal ship - Tracyaat]]

==Combat Gonk==
Despite the fact that Tommy despises droids, from his time fighting them in the Clone Wars, he does in fact keep a droid in tow. It is more of a sick joke, rather than out of necessity, as he uses it as a slave to collect beverages and food for him and his pilots. Tommy has modified a standard Gonk droid with combat programming and some hidden weaponry. The droid also had the ability to directly tap into the onboard flight computer of Tracyaat, his former personal ship, for co-pilot duties.
