{{Quote|I might be short but I can still kick your ass!|Tekk Parsa}}
Born on the [[starwars:Sullustan|Sullustan]] home world of [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]] Tekk is a former mechanic and pilot with the Alinda’s Irregulars mercenary squadron. Finding himself stranded on [[New Tython]] after losing all his credits along with his [[starwars:Z-95|Z-95 Headhunter]] in a Tanduran gambling den. He was locked in a Tanduran prison cell when Torrek Marth attempted to take the city. As thanks for his help in fighting off the invaders he was given his freedom and offered a place in [[Clan Odan-Urr]]. He is currently a member of the [[Knights of Allusis]] battleteam within [[House Hoth]].

==Character History==
===An Adventurous Start (7 ABY - 24 ABY)===
Tekk was born in a small underground town on the Sullustan home world of Sullust and was the youngest of eight children born to Tam and Rami Parsa. From an early age young Tekk had an adventurous spirit often disappearing for hours on end as he explored the town. As he grew his adventures became more far flung and he would often disappear for two or three days at a time exploring the surrounding tunnels and caves.

Hoping to curtail his wanderings before he came to any real harm his father arranged for Tekk to be employed by the town handyman who, it was hoped, would teach the now ten year old boy a trade that would keep him in one place and out of any real danger. It worked, for a while at least, as Tekk seemed to have found his calling. He had a knack for pulling things apart, finding out what was wrong with them and fixing them so well they worked even better than before.

Over the next seven years he pulled apart and fixed everything from [[starwars:speeder_bike|speeder bikes]] to [[starwars:air_speeder|air speeders]] and even managed to get his hands on the insides of an old [[starwars:light_freighter|Corellian light freighter]] after its [[starwars:hyperdrive|hyperdrive]] was damaged while making a landing on Sullust. Life was good if a little boring until the day a [[starwars:gran|Gran]] entered the store and began to speak quietly with his employer.

It turned out the old handy man had at one time been the head mechanic in a pit crew for the Gran’s father who had been a professional podracer. The Gran had come to Sullust on his way to Malastare for a race and was looking for a new mechanic after his old one had quit a few days before. After the pair had been talking for some time his boss motioned Tekk over and introduced the Gran as Lorth Krin. After talking with Tekk for a few minutes Krin offered the young Sullustan a chance to become his new mechanic on a trial basis and that if the next few races went well they’d discuss a more permanent arrangement. At the next race on Malastare Lorth came third and offered Tekk a permanent position on his pit crew.

===Ready, Set, You’re Fired (24 ABY - 29 ABY)===
For four years Tekk travelled the [[starwars:Outer_Rim_Territories|Outer Rim]] as a member of Krin’s pit crew. They visited worlds as far flung as [[starwars:malastare|Malastare]], [[starwars:ando_prime|Ando Prime]], [[starwars:sullust|Sullust]] and [[starwars:tatooine|Tatooine]]. Over the years the team had some good results, winning a few races here and there but were never really top contenders. By the fourth year the team was consistently running last and Krin took to blaming the mechanics, specifically Tekk, despite the fact that the Gran just wasn’t a very good pilot. Things came to a head during the [[starwars:Boonta_Eve_Classic|Boonta Eve Classic]] when, after not even finishing the race, the Gran approached his Sullustan mechanic and began to hurl abuse at him before firing him.

As the festivities wound up Tekk found himself stranded on Tatooine with no money and no job. Hitching a ride back to [[starwars:Mos_Espa|Mos Espa]] the Sullustan began to visit every mechanic, star ship repair yard and junk dealer he could find until he got a job working in the junkyard of an aging [[starwars:anx|Anx]] named Ahm Tachi. His days now consisted of tearing apart whatever junk the old Anx managed to procure, it was boring backbreaking work but at least he was getting paid, not much mind but it was better than nothing.

For a little over a year he subsisted on his meagre earnings but things turned around the day a [[starwars:kuat|Kuati]] woman named Seyda Alinda walked into the junkyard looking for a hyperdrive motivator for an old [[starwars:Muurian_transport|Muurian transport]]. As Ahm wasn’t there to serve her Tekk showed her to the junkyard and helped her hunt down the part. Once found Seyda asked if he knew anyone who could install the part cheaply and Tekk saw an opportunity to make a few extra credits. Offering to install the part personally the pair haggled for a few minutes before agreeing on a price.

Alinda led Tekk back to her ship and after an hour he had it up and running again. Impressed by the Sullustans mechanical skills the Kuati woman explained that she commanded a small mercenary squadron called Alinda’s Irregulars and they were in need of a new mechanic after their last one had met an unfortunate end a few nights before in a tavern brawl. Explaining that, while they mere mercs, they went out of their way to take jobs that they felt helped people in some way. Intrigued and quite frankly tired of the desert heat Tekk accepted her offer and, after telling Ahm he was leaving, left Tatooine for a new life as a mercenary.

===Show Me the Money (29 ABY - 34 ABY)===
A few days after leaving Tatooine Seyda docked the ship on the frigid world [[starwars:kamasto|Kamasto]] in a hidden base carved into a large glacier. As he exited the transport shivering in the cold air Seyda introduced him to the rest of the Irregulars. There were three other [[starwars:human|Humans]], two [[starwars:twi'lek|Twi’leks]], a [[starwars:rodian|Rodian]], a [[starwars:shistavanen|Shistavanen]], a [starwars:quarren|Quarren]] and a [[starwars:bothan|Bothan]] who greeted their newest member in turn. After introductions were completed Seyda asked one of the pilots, a young human woman named Ralla, to show Tekk to his new quarters so he could get some rest.

The next day he went to work familiarizing himself with the Irregulars array of fighter craft fixing what was broken, improving what wasn’t and doing everything he could to make sure he was useful even going so far as to offer to cook dinner which thankfully wasn’t needed as the Irregulars had an old [[starwars:Protocol_droid|protocol droid]] for that. As time went on and Tekk became more comfortable in his new home Seyda would take him on supply runs just in case the aging transport decided to break down again. It was during these runs that Tekk began to get the flying bug. On their return to Kamasto Tekk devoted himself to spending every minute of his free time learning to fly in one of the bases simulators to the point where Seyda often had to kick him out so he could repair a ship or get some sleep.

After a few months in the simulators and a few more months tutelage in the squadron’s old transport Seyda set him a test, Tekk was to take on one of the Irregulars in a simulated dogfight. If he survived for more than five minutes Seyda would consider promoting him to a pilot with the caveat that it didn’t interfere with his mechanics duties. Before she could even finish speaking Tekk was already in the simulator warming it up waiting to engage his opponent, the Bothan Lav’rey, in simulated combat. For five minutes their digital fighters swooped through an artificial asteroid field dodging realistic looking boulders all while trying to line up the perfect shot.

The simulator rocked several times as the Bothan scored hits on his craft but Tekk gave as good as he got, even dropping the Bothans shields at one point, but he was unable to land the killing blow before Lav’rey swooped behind an asteroid. As the five minutes drew to a close the Bothan was hot on Tekk’s tail rocking his fighter with blaster fire when suddenly the cockpit went black. Tekk was crushed assuming he’d been vaped by the Bothan pilot but as the canopy of the simulator creaked open Tekk was greeted by a group of smiling Irregulars cheering and shouting. A moment later he realised that he hadn’t been killed the time had simply run out.

Leaping out of the simulator he jumped out to a series of handshakes and congratulatory pats on the back. With his test passed Seyda escorted him to the hangar where a large shape hidden beneath a heavy tarpaulin sat waiting in the shadows behind the transport. With a little help Seyda removed the tarpaulin to reveal an old Z-95 headhunter, its yellow and black paint job barely visible under a thick layer of dust. As Seyda told him the fighter was his if he could get it running again Tekk leaped up and wrapped his arms around her neck thanking her repeatedly.

Once he’d dropped back to the ground Seyda informed him that he wasn’t an Irregular just yet, he needed to learn how to handle a weapon first as every now and then their jobs required them to leave the cockpit and that he was to report to the firing range at 6 am sharp. Barely able to sleep Tekk leapt from his bed as the alarm sounded and ran down the empty hallways pulling his pants on as he ran. As he entered the firing range he was greeted by Kev Uhdea the squadrons Shistavanen pilot and a former bounty hunter who had extensive experience with a variety of blasters.

Due to his small stature Kev thought it best if he used a blaster that was small enough for him to carry, had decent stopping power and wouldn’t knock the Sullustan off his feet every time he fired it. Handing Tekk an E-11 blaster rifle, the weapon synonymous with the [[starwars:Galactic_Empire|Empire’s]] [[starwars:stormtrooper|Stormtroopers]], he muttered a single word. Shoot. Raising the rifle Tekk squeezed the trigger and missed so badly he struck the side wall eliciting a groan of annoyance from his tutor. Planting his feet firmly he lined up the target in his sight and fired missing the target again, but hitting the back wall this time.

For the next eight months they would meet every few days to practice until Tekk could nail the bullseye 99 times out of 100. While his firearms training had been progressing Tekk had also been working on the Z-95, bringing the fighter back to life. A year after his test against Lav’rey Tekk was ready for his maiden flight. The fighter was gleaming with a new silver and blue paint job as it exited the hangar and flew low over the endless ice sheet of Kamasto. Pulling up on the stick Tekk rocketed towards space breaking through the atmosphere shortly after. After testing the guns on some old space junk he returned to the Irregulars base a full-fledged member of the squadron. Over the next few years the Irregulars took on a number of jobs escorting freighters, defending colonies from pirates even performing a hostage rescue. Life was great and Tekk was the happiest he’d been since leaving Sullust, that was until he landed on New Tython.

==Personal Information==
===Appearance===
The first thing one notices about Tekk Parsa is his height. There’s no two ways about it, they guy is short even for a Sullustan. Barely topping out at four feet five inches in height and weighing in at one hundred and twenty five pounds. His body could best be described as wiry. It is lean and hard with well defined muscles that are hidden below a flight suit most of the time. As is typical of most Sullustans Tekk has a pair of large almond shaped black eyes, a pair of large round ears and facial jowls called dewflaps. And like most Sullustan males his head is bald and he has no facial hair.

Tekk can normally be found wearing some form of flight suit, custom made for his size of course, that more often than not has at least one grease stain marring its otherwise pristine surface. In addition to the flight suit he wears a leather skull cap, an old pair of boots and a worn leather belt around his waist. Hanging from the belt are a handful tools and a holster for his Westar 35 along with his newest possession, his lightsaber. He has also on occasion been seen sporting a backpack in which he carries additional tools, survival gear and power packs for his blaster.

===Personality===
Tekk Parsa is a Sullustan, one of the small big eared natives of the volcanic planet of Sullust. For several years he made a living as a mercenary despite the constant joking and laughing behind his back about his height, or lack thereof. And it is because of that joking and laughter that he's fiercely determined to be the best at what he does, and won't let anyone even dare to judge him by his size. Whatever you do, don't call him the little guy.

He also grows quietly affectionate for his peers - especially the young, the weak, or the oppressed. This most heartily shows itself when those friends are threatened or intimidated, an act that can send the small Sullustan into a full-blown rage - especially when he's intoxicated or otherwise impaired. This often leads to him and his friends being in trouble, but it also reminds even the largest of foes that big bangs can come out of tiny packages.

===Skills and Abilities===
Tekk is nearly unmatched as a mechanic and his ability to diagnose and repair everything from a blaster pistol to the hyperdrive of a Star Destroyer has led to the Sullustan being called a mechanical savant by more than one person. He is also an exceptional pilot where he uses the quick natural reflexes to good effect when behind the stick of a starfighter. Since the discovery of his ability to use the Force Tekk has trained with his lightsaber with the same single minded determination he had when trying to master piloting. As a result he has become very proficient in the weapons use in a very short amount of time.

==Character History==
===An Adventurous Start (10 ABY - 27 ABY)===
Tekk was born in a small mountain town on the Aleena home world of Aleen and was the youngest of eight children born to Tam and Rami Parsa. From an early age young Tekk had an adventurous spirit often disappearing for hours on end as he explored the town. As he grew his adventures became more far flung and he would often disappear for two or three days at a time exploring the surrounding countryside.

It turned out the old handy man had at one time been the head mechanic in a pit crew for the Gran’s father who had been a professional pod racer.

Over the next few years the Irregular’s took on a number of jobs escorting freighters, defending colonies from pirates even performing a hostage rescue. Life was great and Tekk was the happiest he’d been since leaving Aleen, that was until he landed on New Tython.

===Broke and Stranded…Again (39 ABY - Present)===
The Irregular’s had been hired on to provide fighter escort for a convoy of medical supplies making its way to New Tython from [[starwars:naboo|Naboo]]. It was an uneventful flight as the convoy landed at the [[Menat Ombo]] spaceport without incident. After being paid Seyda and the Irregular’s headed home leaving Tekk behind so he could get some rest and relaxation. After spending a few days wandering around the New Tythonian capital he headed for the Dac Compound.

Upon arrival Tekk began to wonder in and out of the various bars and gambling houses of the Compound winning a little, losing a little and generally having a good time. At least he was until he wandered into a shadowy smoked filled club called Arador’s. After sitting at the bar for a while scoping out the action he decided to join what seemed like a particularly high stakes game of [[starwars:sabacc|sabacc]]. Idling up to the table he asked if he could join the game before sitting down in a vacant seat. For hours they played cards, Tekk’s purse rising and falling with each hand. After eight straight hours of cards the only players still at the table were Tekk and a human gambler who went by the name of Eronoss.

Tekk was down to his last few credits but he had Sabacc and there was no way he was walking away from that hand. Adding his Z-95 to the pot he slammed his cards on the table and began to reach for the pot when Eronoss dropped his cards down to reveal an [[starwars:Idiot's_Array|idiot’s array]]. Seeing his life slowly sliding across the worn metal surface of the club’s table something in Tekk snapped. Scooping up his drink he threw it into Eronoss’ face before he leaped up onto the table and dove at the human gambler knocking him backwards in his chair before they fell in a heap on the floor. Getting to his feet faster than the still disoriented human could Tekk approached the fallen man and began to punch him in the face again and again as a series of Aleen expletives burst forth from his lips.

Suddenly a pair of large calloused hands scooped him up, carried him out into the blinding light of a new day and tossed him out into the street. Looking up through squinting eyes he could see a burly [[starwars:zabrak|Zabrak]] bouncer telling him not to come back. Stranded and broke for the second time in his life Tekk wandered the streets of Dac for hours trying to figure out what his next step should be when he heard a pair of guardsmen talking with each other. They were upset with the fact that the Jedi who protected the planet were now hiring mercenaries to bolster their armed forces. Tekk’s luck seemed to have turned around as fast as it had soured and so with a way forward he approached the Jedi of Odan-Urr and offered his services for a reasonable price. A few days later he was told to be at the Dac Compound shuttle port for pickup and transport to [[Fort Pernicar]], the home of House Hoth.

==Personal Information==
===Appearance===
Like most Aleena Tekk is short standing just over two and a half feet tall. He has scaly sky blue skin, large green eyes and a wide mouth full of small, sharp teeth. His arms and legs are quite short in relation to his body and his head tapers back into a short pointed crest.

Off mission Tekk wears a rough leather vest over a long sleeved shirt and a pair of old pants, he never wears shoes and there are usually one or two tools hanging from his belt.

On mission he wears a black body glove with custom fitted armour over the top. The armour is custom fitted due to his small stature. Around his waist is a belt with several pouches containing E-11 power packs and explosives. On his back is a backpack containing an array of tools including hydrospanners, wrenches, a small cutting tool, even a good old fashioned hammer. He also has a small vibro blade tucked into a sheath on his chest plate.

===Personality===
Tekk Parsa is an Aleena, working in a profession frequented by the mighty and the strong. To that end, he's fiercely determined to be the best at what he does, and won't let anyone even dare to judge him by his size. Whatever you do, don't call him the little guy. Tekk is a soldier of fortune, and does hard work for cold coin. Even so, he has a strong moral fibre and a sense of right and wrong that steers him away from nasty work. Though he sometimes loses out on the really big payday, he never loses any sleep at night because he's always living the life he believes in and if he considers you a friend there are no limits to the lengths he'll go to help or protect you.

===Skills and Abilities===
Tekk is nearly unmatched as a mechanic and his ability to diagnose and repair everything from a blaster pistol to the hyperdrive of a Star Destroyer has led to the Aleena being called a mechanical savant by more than one person. He is also an exceptional pilot where he uses the quick natural reflexes of his race to good effect when behind the stick of a starfighter. Tekk is also extremely proficient with his weapon of choice, an E-11 blaster rifle, and his skill with a vibroblade is also quite good.

{{Quote|Sometimes you just gotta hit someone|Salbecca}}
'''Salbecca''', or Sal to his friends, is a Wookiee Jedi born in the city of Warralokk on the Wookiee home world of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]]. A member of the Jedi Order in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Old Republic]] he fought in the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] and survived [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]]. After decades in hiding Sal has once again taken up his lightsaber as a member of [[House Odan-Urr]].

==Character History==
===Early Years===
[[Image:Wawaatt.png|200px|thumb|left|The Wawaatt Archipeligo]]
Sal was born in Warralokk, a city in the [[starwars:Wawaatt Archipelago|Wawaatt Archipelago]], on the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk sixty-nine years before the Battle of Yavin. His father Torralraa was a fisherman working the waterways of the archipelago while his mother Kerriwarr took care of Sal and his older brother Arrichit. His first few years of life were not unlike that of most young Wookiees, spending his days in Warralokk's [[starwars:nursery ring|nursery ring]] learning what it meant to be a Wookiee, to show respect for Kashyyyk with it's many dangers, and spending his nights at home with his family. However a few months before his fourth birthday Sal's life changed forever.

As a member of the Galactic Republic, Kashyyyk was obligated by law to test the [[starwars:Force Sensitive|force sensitivity]] of all newborns, and Sal was tested just like every other Wookiee cub born on there. Unlike most other young Wookiee's Sal's test came back as positive for [[starwars:midi-chlorians|midi-chlorians]]. Upon discovering Sal's force sensitivity the [[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] was contacted and after much discussion between Sal's father, his clan chief and representatives of the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]] it was decided that Sal would remain on Kashyyyk until he was old enough to be brought to the temple to begin his training .When the time came for Sal to be taken to the Jedi Temple, a [[starwars:Devaronian|Devaronian]] [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named Lok Tharnas arrived on Kashyyyk to take the young cub to Coruscant. Upon arrival, Sal was placed with the other younglings of the Savrip training clan where he was initially trained by an old [[starwars:Quarren|Quarren]] Jedi Master named Chelin Frose. For the next twelve years Sal learned everything from politics and galactic law to lightsaber and unarmed combat. It was in the latter two that the young Wookiee excelled, regularly beating older students when they sparred.

[[Image:JediTemple.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Jedi Temple on Coruscant]]

Eventually the time came for him to be chosen by a Master. Sal was chosen by Naree Cloudsinger, a human Jedi Knight from [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]]. She was in her late thirties with deep chestnut brown hair, with snow white streaks throughout and piercing green eyes. She had been a Jedi Master for five years before it was decided by the Jedi Council that she was ready to train a [[starwars:Padawan|Padawan]] of her own, and Sal was her first student. As a Jedi Guardian it was Naree's responsibility, and Sal's by extension, to maintain order throughout the galaxy. Over the next few years the pair traveled the galaxy resolving disputes, hunting down criminals and generally keeping order wherever they were required. About eight years after taking Sal on as her apprentice she decided he was ready to take on the trials, however things didn't quite go according to plan.

===A Different Kind Of Trial===
[[Image:Naree.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Sal's master Naree Cloudsinger]]
Naree and Sal had been sent to a small mid rim planet called Verapin 5 to mediate a dispute between the planets ruling body, The Council of Seven, and a resistance group calling themselves the Red Hand. The two sides had agreed to a ceasefire after seven months of all out war that threatened to spill over into the streets of the capital Verapin City. Things seemed to be going well and the talks progressed steadily over the next few weeks until the Red Hands leader Mathias Burns was assassinated. That same night the Council of Seven were rounded up from there homes by operatives of the Red Hand and taken to an abandoned farm a few miles north of the city were they were to be executed at first light. To further complicate matters the Red Hand had managed to procure several canisters of a toxin called Metaformin D and had spread them throughout the city. Originally intended as a pesticide it was discovered that Metaformin D was far more lethal to those using it than to the pests it was intended for.

With no way to save the council and prevent the murder of thousands of innocent civilians without splitting up, Naree decided that she would rescue the council while Sal aided the local authorities in searching for the Metaformin D canisters. With the aid of a government informer within the Red Hand the locals determined the location of the three canisters and Sal decided to head for the one that posed the greatest risk to the populace. Taking off through the city in great loping strides he quickly made his way to a large stone building in the center of the city. As he got closer he could sense the presence of half a dozen scared and angry individuals spread throughout the building. Being as stealthy as a seven foot tall Wookiee can be Sal approached the side of the building and using his claws began to scale the wall to the roof. When he'd reached the roof he managed to peel back the sheet metal that it was made of and slipped silently through the hole. With senses more keen than any human could hope for, he began to quietly disable the guards stationed throughout the building. A choke hold here, a strike to the head there until only the trigger man and his off-sider remained.

From a balcony above them he could hear them speaking to one another and it was clear to Sal that neither of them would hesitate to trigger the canister and release the toxin. With lightsaber in hand Sal leaped over the railing landing a few feet from the pair. Almost before they could react Sal unleashed a wave of force energy knocking the off-sider off his feet and flying through the air to strike the wall with a thud. Just as Sal began to move on the trigger man he was informed that it was a dead man trigger and if dropped the toxin would be released. Stopping mid stride Sal's eyes narrowed as he contemplated his next move. With subtle manipulations of the force Sal gripped the trigger man's hand in a bubble of force energy and in one quick motion and a blur of green removed the trigger man's hand from his arm, the force preventing the trigger from firing. After a short while the authorities arrived to disarm the toxic bomb and take the rebels into custody.

While waiting for the bomb squad to disarm the device Sal heard from Naree. All the hostages were safe and were preparing for a fresh offensive against the Red Hand. They had less than 48 hours to discover what really happened to Burns before the planet became a battlefield once more. Starting their investigation where Burns died they discovered that the small apartment where he'd died hadn't been broken into and there were no signs of a struggle indicating that not only did Burns know his killer he also trusted them. While it was a start it hardly got them any closer to preventing a war. Their big break came when they began to study holo tapes from the buildings security system. It showed one of Burns' lieutenants, a man named Fraser, entering Burns' room less that an hour before his death and leaving later in different clothes than when he arrived. Racing to confront the suspected murderer, the pair of Jedi were confronted by a dozen armed freedom fighters protecting their new leader, Fraser.

With a few subtle force aided nudges from Naree they managed to talk there way into an audience with the head of the Red Hand and confronted him with what they new. With a laugh Fraser admitted to killing Burns before ordering his men to kill the Jedi. Almost before the men could react Naree was already moving, the blade of her lightsaber a dancing blur of green energy deflecting blaster bolts left and right. Sal was half a step behind her his lightsaber redirecting bolts of energy back in the general direction they had come from. After a brief flurry of activity that left all twelve gunmen either dead or incapacitated and Fraser pleading for his life, Naree gave him the option of coming peacefully and confessing to his crimes or not co-operating with a not too subtle hint that Sal would become involved at that point. One look at the Wookiee's toothy grin was enough to convince him to confess to his crime. With the murder solved the talks got back on track. After a few more weeks of negotiation an uneasy alliance was reached and Naree and Sal headed back to Coruscant.

When they reached the Temple, Naree gave her report to the Jedi Council who after listening called Sal forward. It had been decided that due to the nature of there mission and his role in it that he would not need to sit the trials and that he would be elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight effective immediately. Engulfing Naree in a massive hairy hug he let out a roar of joy before quickly composing himself and bowing to the council.

===The Clone Wars and Order 66===
[[Image:Battle of Geonosis.png|200px|thumb|left|The Battle of Geonosis]]
By the time the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] began, Sal had been stationed in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as a lightsaber instructor. When the call came for Jedi to travel to [[starwars:Geonosis|Geonosis]] to rescue [[starwars:Obi-Wan Kenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]], his padawan [[starwars:Anakin Skywalker|Anakin Skywalker]] and [[starwars:Senator|Senator]] [[starwars:Padme Amidala|Padme Amidala]], Sal was one of the first to volunteer. As [[starwars:Mace Windu|Mace Windu]] and his force of fifty Jedi entered the Geonisian arena to rescue the hostages Sal was in the cargo bay of an [[starwars:Acclamator-class assault ship|Acclamator assault ship]] with a regiment of clone troopers. As the Acclamator entered the atmosphere and landed on the dusty surface of Geonosis Sal let out a battle roar and led his troops into the fray. Through the dust and smoke Sal's lightsaber flashed left and right deflecting droid blaster bolts until the two sides clashed in a dizzying melee. As droids and clones fell around him Sal cut down droid after droid. For what seemed like hours the battle raged until the droid army were in full retreat. Stopping to catch his breath Sal looked around and was stunned at the amount of death and destruction at his feet.

With the battle of Geonosis won and the Clone Wars underway, Sal was made a Jedi General and given command of a legion of clone troopers and sent to a small mud ball of a planet called Kiffen. Covered in swamps the planet would have been inconsequential in the greater scheme of things if not for the large trade federation droid factory in the planets southern hemisphere. For the next year and a half Sal and his clone troopers fought when they could, ran when they had to and made life as difficult as possible for the [[starwars:Neimoidian|Neimoidian]] general leading the droid armies on planet, but for every droid killed the legion payed a terrible price as there numbers began to dwindle. Hoping for reinforcements Sal led a small squad on a patrol of the swamps when Darth Sidious made his play.

As [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]] was executed, Sal could sense something through the Force. Spinning on his heel he lashed out with his lightsaber, the heads of the closest two clone troopers falling from there bodies. With a blast of the force he set another trooper flying into a distant tree before the first clone trooper struck. A blaster bolt caught the big Wookiee in the thigh before another caught him in the shoulder. Pushing through the pain he dodged and parried blaster bolts, cutting down clone troopers left and right. When the skirmish was over and every clone trooper lay dead at his feet, Sal surveyed his wounds. Apart from the two blaster shots, he'd suffered some minor burns and scrapes but nothing life threatening. Taking off deeper into the swamp he managed to find a small cave a few miles from the site of the battle and, heading as far into it as possible. For the next few days Sal meditated in a deep trance, using the force to heal his wounds.

When his wounds had healed Sal left the cave and headed for the nearest spaceport. Stealing a shuttle he contemplated heading for Kashyyyk but thought better of it, knowing that if the clone army knew he was alive his home world would be one of the first places they looked. Searching through the shuttles database he began to look for an out of the way world where he could hide for as long as possible. He eventually landed on the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]] hoping to become lost in the sprawling city that covered the moon. Putting away his lightsaber and robes, Sal opened a small store where he could put his natural mechanical skills to good use. For the next two decades he eked out a meager existence fixing everything from blasters to hyperdrives. Eventually news reached the Smugglers Moon that the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] had been defeated at [[starwars:Endor|Endor]] and Sal felt it was now time to go home.

===Return to Kashyyyk===
[[Image:KashyyykKamda.jpg |180px|thumb|right|Kashyyyk]]
For the next few years Sal saved every credit he could spare until, ten years after the Empire's defeat at Endor, he'd managed to save enough credits for passage to Kashyyyk. After a few weeks travel he finally arrived on his homeworld - a world he left over seven decades before. But despite all that time away, the moment he stepped off the landing craft he felt home. For a few minutes he stood silently letting the cool, sweet air of his homeworld fill his lungs and rustle his fur before heading further into the spaceport to arrange transit to Warralokk. That was easier said than done however as Warralokk had been destroyed by the Empire more than a decade before and every Wookiee that survived the attack taken by the Empire as slaves. Heartbroken Sal pleaded with the young Wookiee at the transit office to get him home and, feeling sorry for Sal, the officer agreed. Less than an hour later the small shuttle was circling what was left of Sal's childhood home.

Putting the shuttle down on the largest of the intact branches of the wroshyr tree that made up the main section of the destroyed city, he walked among the destroyed houses and shops of his birth place it was all Sal could do not to give in to grief and despair. Snapping a young branch from the wroshyr tree he placed it carefully into his satchel and asked the pilot to return him to [[starwars:Rwookrrorro|Rwookrrorro]]. Upon returning to Kashyyyk's capital he did his best to investigate the fate of his family. From what little records that had survived the imperial occupation he discovered that his parent's and brother had been alive at the time but little else. With little else to go on Sal decided to head for the centre of government bureaucracy, Coruscant, to see what he could dig up.

===Return To The Jedi===
[[Image:Arrichit.JPG|180px|thumb|left|Sal's brother Arrichit]]
Arriving on Coruscant he began to search the extensive imperial records left over after the Republic took control of the planet. For months he sifted through any record he could find regarding the occupation of Kashyyyk or the slaves they took off the planet. It was tedious work but eventually it paid off. In a dusty box of old hard copy reports he found a list of slaves transported from [[starwars:Despayre|Despayre]] after construction of the first Death Star was complete. As he scanned over the list of names he saw one that stood out, his brother Arrichit. He, along with about 300 other Wookiees, were being transported to a prison on the planet Averum when the ship disappeared in the Judecca system. An imperial recon team had been sent to the system to ascertain what had happened to the ship and its cargo but, discovering nothing but the wreckage of a number of starships, assumed the ship had been destroyed. They did however recover several pieces of wreckage including the flight computer from a destroyed fighter. The data dumped from the flight computer indicated that, in the midst of a battle between Trandoshans and a Hutt cartel, a squadron of X-Wing fighters entered the system and engaged the forces in system in battle. After quickly destroying both the Trandoshan and Cartel ships they escorted the prison ship out of the system on a heading that would take them close to a number of systems but only intersect with one, the [[Yhi System|Yhi system]].

A week or so later Sal was sitting in the passenger hold of a smuggler's ship on his way to the Yhi system, specifically [[New Tython]]. He spent the trip to New Tython deep in meditation but the thought of finding his family was never far from the forefront of his mind. Eventually the ship touched down on New Tython, a few miles outside of the capital [[Menat Ombo]]. After a brief farewell Sal began walking in the direction of what, from the air at least, appeared to be a Wookiee village in a forest to the west.

A few hours later Sal was greeted at the perimeter of the village by a large young Wookiee with shaggy brown fur, a bowcaster in hand and a ryyk blade on his hip. Greeting the younger Wookiee, Sal requested and audience with the clan chief and was led through the village to a large hall at its centre. As he entered he saw a large black furred Wookiee who was introduced to Sal as Liika. Introducing himself to Liika Sal began to recount his story to the leader of this Wookiee enclave. Telling him everything from his Jedi training to his service in the Clone wars to his years of exile on Nar Shaddaa. The entire time the old wookiee said nothing until Sal had finished talking before asking how he could help. Sal explained that he believed his family had been on the prison ship that had brought them to New Tython and that he'd hoped to find some trace of him. Once Liika had been informed of the name of Sal's brother he sent a runner to fetch Arrichit.

It had been nearly one hundred years but as soon as Arrichit entered, Sal knew it was him - as if by some miracle he'd found his brother. With tears streaming unabashedly down his hairy face he engulfed his brother in a huge hairy hug and howled with joy. Taking their leave of Liika the two brothers headed for Arrichit's house. When they arrived Sal was introduced to Arrichit's mate Jowbev and son Lakdrrl. The reunited brothers talked well into the night, Sal finally learning the fate of his parents. His father had died during the imperial invasion of Kashyyyk while his mother had been worked to death on Despayre. Sal also learned that Arrichit and his son were members of the Chosen of Bacca, a wookiee regiment in service to the Jedi of Odan-Urr and that every Wookiee on the prison ship had pledged a life debt to them. After learning more of House Odan-Urr Sal decided to make himself known to them so he, for the first time in decades, donned his Jedi robes and lightsaber and headed for their complex with an honour guard of wookiee warriors. When the group arrived Sal was introduced to the leaders of Odan-Urr and, after relaying his story, offered his services to the House. After much deliberation his offer was accepted and Sal became a member of House Odan-Urr.

==Character Information==

===Physical Appearance===

Large even for a wookiee, Salbecca stands well over 7 feet tall and is covered almost head to toe in deep black fur. The only part of the big Wookiee that differs from this uniform blackness are three white stripes. The first begins just below his bottom lip and runs diagonally down to his throat. The other two begin on his forhead, running down his face to meet at a point just above his nose. He also possesses a pair of piercing blue eyes. He can usually be seen wearing robes similar to those he wore during his time as a Jedi prior to the fall of the Old Republic at the end of the Clone Wars.

==Personal Possessions==

===Lightsaber===

[[Image:SalLightsaber.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sal's lightsaber]]
Sal's original lightsaber was, like most Jedi, made completely of manufactured products like durasteel and plastics. However after joining House Odan-Urr Sal took the [[starwars:wroshyr tree|wroshyr]] branch he'd acquired on Kashyyyk and, after hollowing it out, used it as the basis for a new lightsaber. In this way he can always carry a piece of his home with him at all times.

===Other Weapons===
When he put aside his lightsaber at the end of the Clone Wars Sal needed something to keep himself safe on the near lawless moon of Nar Shaddaa. The first weapon he constructed started life as a broken down old [[starwars:DC-15A|DC-15A blaster rifle]] Sal found on a trash pile that would eventually become a [[starwars:bowcaster|bowcaster]]. Stripping the weapon down to the frame he attached a pair of polarizing orbs and removed the [[starwars:tibanna|tibanna gas]] cartridge to create space for the magazine of 10 explosive bolts. Once the bowcaster was complete Sal took a piece of starship hull and fashioned himself a [[starwars:ryyk blade|ryyk blade]].

===S.P.O.T.===
A few years after arriving at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant Sal became tired of the translator unit the order had given him so he decided to take matters into his own furry hands and create his own. Starting with a standard [[starwars:training remote|training remote]] he removed everything but the [[starwars:repulsorlift|repulsorlift]] engines before taking the [[starwars: AA-1_VerboBrain|AA-1 VerboBrain]] and [[starwars: TranLang_III_communications_module|TranLang III communications module]] from a [[starwars: 3PO-series_protocol_droid|3PO droid]] he found on a temple junk pile and, with a little forceful encouragement, installed them into the shell of the remote. Once he was done he chose to call his new translator S.P.O.T which is an acronym for Self Propelled Oratory Translator.

{{Quote|I might be short but I can still kick your ass!|Tekk Parsa}}
Born on the [[starwars:Aleena|Aleena]] home world of [[starwars:Aleen|Aleen]] Tekk is a former mechanic and pilot with the Alinda’s Irregulars mercenary squadron. Finding himself stranded on [[New Tython]] after losing his all his credits along with his [[starwars:Z-95|Z-95 Headhunter]] in a [[Dac Compound]] gambling den he approached the powers that be within Clan [[Odan-Urr]] offering his services for a reasonable price. He is currently a member of the [[Knights of Allusis]] battleteam within [[House Hoth]].

==Character History==
===An Adventurous Start (10 ABY - 27 ABY)===
Tekk was born in a small mountain town on the Aleena home world of Aleen and was the youngest of eight children born to Tam and Rami Parsa. From an early age young Tekk had an adventurous spirit often disappearing for hours on end as he explored the town. As he grew his adventures became more far flung and he would often disappear for two or three days at a time exploring the surrounding countryside.

Hoping to curtail his wanderings before he came to any real harm his father arranged for Tekk to be employed by the town handy man who, it was hoped, would teach the now ten year old boy a trade that would keep him in one place and out of any real danger. It worked, for a while at least, as Tekk seemed to have found his calling. He had a knack for pulling things apart, finding out what was wrong with them and fixing them so well they worked even better than before.

Over the next seven years he pulled apart and fixed everything from speeder bikes to air speeders and even managed to get his hands on the insides of an old Corellian light freighter after its hyperdrive was damaged while making a landing on Aleen. Life was good if a little boring until the day a Gran entered the store and began to speak quietly with his employer.

It turned out the old handy man had at one time been the head mechanic in a pit crew for the Gran’s father who had been a professional pod racer. The Gran was on Aleen competing in the Aleen Classic and he was looking for a new mechanic after his old one had quit the day before. After the pair had been talking for some time his boss motioned Tekk over and introduced the Gran as Lorth Krin. After talking with Tekk for a few minutes Krin offered the young Aleena a chance to become his new mechanic on a trial basis and that if the Aleen Classic went well they’d discuss a more permanent arrangement. A few days later Lorth came third in the race and offered Tekk a permanent position on his pit crew.

===Ready, Set, You’re Fired (27 ABY - 31 ABY)===
For four years Tekk travelled the Outer Rim as a member of Krin’s pit crew. They visited worlds as far flung as Malastare, Ando Prime, Sullust and Tatooine. Over the years the team had some good results, winning a few races here and there but were never really top contenders. By the fourth year the team was consistently running last and Krin took to blaming the mechanics, specifically Tekk, despite the fact that the Gran just wasn’t a very good pilot. Things came to a head during the Boonta Eve Classic when, after not even finishing the race, the Gran approached his Aleena mechanic and began to hurl abuse at him before firing him.

As the festivities wound up Tekk found himself stranded on Tatooine with no money and no job. Hitching a ride back to Mos Espa the Aleena began to visit every mechanic, star ship repair yard and junk dealer he could find until he got a job working in the junkyard of an aging Anx named Ahm Tachi. His days now consisted of tearing apart whatever junk the old Anx managed to procure, it was boring backbreaking work but at least he was getting paid, not much mind but it was better than nothing.

For a little over a year he subsisted on his meagre earnings but things turned around the day a Kuati woman named Seyda Alinda walked into the junkyard looking for a hyperdrive motivator for an old Muurian transport. As Ahm wasn’t there to serve her Tekk showed her to the junkyard and helped her hunt down the part. Once found Seyda asked if he knew anyone who could install the part cheaply and Tekk saw an opportunity to make a few extra credits. Offering to install the part personally the pair haggled for a few minutes before agreeing on a price.

Alinda led Tekk back to her ship and after an hour he had it up and running again. Impressed by the Aleena’s mechanical skills the Kuati woman explained that she commanded a small mercenary squadron called Alinda’s Irregulars and they were in need of a new mechanic after there last one had met an unfortunate end a few nights before in a tavern brawl. Explaining that, while they mere mercs, they went out of their way to take jobs that they felt helped people in some way. Intrigued and quite frankly tired of the desert heat Tekk accepted her offer and, after telling Ahm he was leaving, left Tatooine for a new life as a mercenary.

===Show Me the Money (31 ABY - 39 ABY)===
A few days after leaving Tatooine Seyda docked the ship on the frigid world Kamasto in a hidden base carved into a large glacier. As he exited the transport shivering in the cold air Seyda introduced him to the rest of the Irregulars. There were three other Humans, two Twi’leks, a Rodian, a Shistavanen, a Quarren and a Bothan who greeted there newest member in turn. After introductions were completed Seyda asked one of the pilots, a young human woman named Ralla, to show Tekk to his new quarters so he could get some rest.

The next day he went to work familiarizing himself with the Irregulars array of fighter craft fixing what was broken, improving what wasn’t and doing everything he could to make sure he was useful even going so far as to offer to cook dinner which thankfully wasn’t needed as the Irregular’s had an old protocol droid for that. As time went on and Tekk became more comfortable in his new home Seyda would take him on supply runs just in case the aging transport decided to break down again. It was during these runs that Tekk began to get the flying bug. On their return to Kamasto Tekk devoted himself to spending every minute of his free time learning to fly in one of the bases simulators to the point where Seyda often had to kick him out so he could repair a ship or get some sleep.

After a few months in the simulators and a few more months tutelage in the squadron’s old transport Seyda set him a test, Tekk was to take on one of the Irregular’s in a simulated dogfight. If he survived for more than five minutes Seyda would consider promoting him to a pilot with the caveat that it didn’t interfere with his mechanics duties. Before she could even finish speaking Tekk was already in the simulator warming it up waiting to engage his opponent, the Bothan Lav’rey, in simulated combat. For five minutes their digital fighters swooped through an artificial asteroid field dodging realistic looking boulders all while trying to line up the perfect shot.

The simulator rocked several times as the Bothan scored hits on his craft but Tekk gave as good as he got, even dropping the Bothan’s shields at one point, but he was unable to land the killing blow before Lav’rey swooped behind an asteroid. As the five minutes drew to a close the Bothan was hot on Tekk’s tail rocking his fighter with blaster fire when suddenly the cockpit went black. Tekk was crushed assuming he’d been vaped by the Bothan pilot but as the canopy of the simulator creaked open Tekk was greeted by a group of smiling Irregular’s cheering and shouting. A moment later he realised that he hadn’t been killed the time had simply run out.

Leaping out of the simulator he jumped out to a series of handshakes and congratulatory pats on the back. With his test passed Seyda escorted him to the hangar where a large shape hidden beneath a heavy tarpaulin sat waiting in the shadows behind the transport. With a little help Seyda removed the tarpaulin to reveal an old Z-95 headhunter, its yellow and black paint job barely visible under a thick layer of dust. As Seyda told him the fighter was his if he could get it running again Tekk leaped up and wrapped his stubby arms around her neck thanking her repeatedly.

Once he’d dropped back to the ground Seyda informed him that he wasn’t an Irregular just yet, he needed to learn how to handle a weapon first as every now and then their jobs required them to leave the cockpit and that he was to report to the firing range at 6 am sharp. Barely able to sleep Tekk leapt from his bed as the alarm sounded and ran down the empty hallways pulling his pants on as he ran. As he entered the firing range he was greeted by Kev Uhdea the squadrons Shistavanen pilot and a former bounty hunter who had extensive experience with a variety of blasters.

Due to his small stature Kev thought it best if he used a blaster that was small enough for him to carry, had decent stopping power and wouldn’t knock the Aleena off his feet every time he fired it. Handing Tekk an E-11 blaster rifle, the weapon synonymous with the Empire’s Stormtroopers, he muttered a single word. Shoot. Raising the rifle Tekk squeezed the trigger and missed so badly he struck the side wall eliciting a groan of annoyance from his tutor. Planting his feet firmly he lined up the target in his sight and fired missing the target again, but hitting the back wall this time.

For the next eight months they would meet every few days to practice until Tekk could nail the bullseye 99 times out of 100. While his firearms training had been progressing Tekk had also been working on the Z-95, bringing the fighter back to life. A year after his test against Lav’rey Tekk was ready for his maiden flight. The fighter was gleaming with a new silver and blue paint job as it exited the hangar and flew low over the endless ice sheet of Kamasto. Pulling up on the stick Tekk rocketed towards space breaking through the atmosphere shortly after. After testing the guns on some old space junk he returned to the Irregular’s base a full-fledged member of the squadron. Over the next few years the Irregular’s took on a number of jobs escorting freighters, defending colonies from pirates even performing a hostage rescue. Life was great and Tekk was the happiest he’d been since leaving Aleen, that was until he landed on New Tython.

===Broke and Stranded…Again (39 ABY - Present)===
The Irregular’s had been hired on to provide fighter escort for a convoy of medical supplies making its way to New Tython from Naboo. It was an uneventful flight as the convoy landed at the Menat Ombo spaceport without incident. After being paid Seyda and the Irregular’s headed home leaving Tekk behind so he could get some rest and relaxation. After spending a few days wandering around the New Tythonian capital he headed for the Dac Compound.

Upon arrival Tekk began to wonder in and out of the various bars and gambling houses of the Compound winning a little, losing a little and generally having a good time. At least he was until he wandered into a shadowy smoked filled club called Arador’s. After sitting at the bar for a while scoping out the action he decided to join what seemed like a particularly high stakes game of sabacc. Idling up to the table he asked if he could join the game before sitting down in a vacant seat. For hours they played cards, Tekk’s purse rising and falling with each hand. After eight straight hours of cards the only players still at the table were Tekk and a human gambler who went by the name of Eronoss.

Tekk was down to his last few credits but he had Sabacc and there was no way he was walking away from that hand. Adding his Z-95 to the pot he slammed his cards on the table and began to reach for the pot when Eronoss dropped his cards down to reveal an idiot’s array. Seeing his life slowly sliding across the worn metal surface of the club’s table something in Tekk snapped. Scooping up his drink he threw it into Eronoss’ face before he leaped up onto the table and dove at the human gambler knocking him backwards in his chair before they fell in a heap on the floor. Getting to his feet faster than the still disoriented human could Tekk approached the fallen man and began to punch him in the face again and again as a series of Aleen expletives burst forth from his lips.

Suddenly a pair of large calloused hands scooped him up, carried him out into the blinding light of a new day and tossed him out into the street. Looking up through squinting eyes he could see a burly Zabrak bouncer telling him not to come back. Stranded and broke for the second time in his life Tekk wandered the streets of Dac for hours trying to figure out what his next step should be when he heard a pair of guardsmen talking with each other. They were upset with the fact that the Jedi who protected the planet were now hiring mercenaries to bolster their armed forces. Tekk’s luck seemed to have turned around as fast as it had soured and so with a way forward he approached the Jedi of Odan-Urr and offered his services for a reasonable price. A few days later he was told to be at the Dac Compound shuttle port for pickup and transport to Fort Pernicar, the home of House Hoth.

The ''''Endor's Triumph'''' is a [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyer]] in the service of [[Odan-Urr|House Odan-Urr]].

==Vessel Info==

==History==
In [[35 ABY]] the Brotherhood left devastation on [[New Tython]]. Thousands died, and Tythonian development and relations were shattered. A long, grueling time of rebuilding and repair followed. Seeing that the [[Odan-Urr|House]] could not defend itself or the people of [[New Tython]] with just star fighters, the [[Odan-Urr|Council of Urr]] decided on a "long shot" decision. Lacking resources to buy or develop a new starship on their own, they ordered one be scavenged from junk parts. Commissioning several smaller tech companies and a small flotilla of transports, they set course for the ship graveyard on the edge of the galaxy.

Far from prying eyes, they toiled for endless hours, scavenging parts from ships long deemed unusable. Funds were sent in as time passed and even some newer parts were manufactured and shipped to the improvised shipyard. A year and many setbacks later the building had begun in earnest. Much of the superstructure was found intact, though it had to be cut, refurbished and retrofitted. While an [[starwars:Imperial_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Imperial Star Destroyer]] was considered, a much smaller vessel was chosen due to budget constraints and an abundance of materials. Much of the material had long ago been scavenged by junkers but several [[starwars:Victory_I-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory I]] and [[starwars:Victory_II-class_Star_Destroyer|Victory II-class Star Destroyers]] survived - some in several pieces - and were used for the ''Triumph's'' base.

After the fall of [[New Tython]] the funding was cut and so the project was dropped for more profitable endeavors, that is until the [[Odan-Urr|House]] returned triumphant to [[New Tython]] in [[37 ABY]]. With the [[NSD Fey'lya's Last Stand|''Last Stand'']] in operation, the need for a massive capital ship was lessened, however the Council decided to finish the project. War loomed on the horizon and another vessel would be a logical step forward. Thus funding was sent and the project continued.

In [[38 ABY]], not long before the Rite of Immortality destroyed [[Antei]], the ''Endor's Triumph'' found it's place above New Tython, it's new home.

===Characteristics===
It is speculated, due to their condition at the time of construction, that the ships scavenged to make the ''Endor's Triumph'' had seen service in all major wars since the end of the Clone Wars. Much of her old armament has been destroyed, scavenged, scrapped and sold over the years. In 38 ABY, when she began her service in the [[Kotahitanga-Unity_Defense_Force|K.U.D.F.]], all of her armaments had been replaced with modern variants, and her shields and much of the superstructure had been refurbished or retrofitted from other ships.

Some of her extensive modifications and retrofits include turbolasers made by Taim & Bak and MerrWeapons, a modernized computer system by MicroThrust Processors, modified hangars designed for storing Incom vessels such as X-Wings and Z-95 Headhunters along with Imperial TIE fighters. She does, however still have her old engines and hyperdrive, making her less maneuverable than modern-day starships. This directly relates to the fact that she is primarily used for planetary defense and as a staging point for patrols in [[Yhi System|Yhi system]].

Much of the interior was refurbished and modernized according to Republic designs. The bridge has been upgraded with modern computer systems while the crew and officer quarters were merged to give space to leisure suites across the ship. Among these the most famous are the ''"Jagged Junker"'' bar in the officer's area; the meditation room, where Jedi and Padawans spend most of their time; the Zero-G room, where Jedi Consulars conduct experiments on plants in Zero-G, and where the crew can experience Zero-G in a controlled environment; and the botanical garden, featuring many of New Tython's flora for the crew to enjoy. Many of the ships corridors were lined with flora as well, giving it a much less militaristic feel. There are, however, upkeep issues with these areas as the extra humidity attracts moss and spreads the flora along the walls. Some in the [[Kotahitanga-Unity_Defense_Force|K.U.D.F.]] have come to call the ship ''"The Green Goblin"'' due to it's rather unique interior.

===Crew===
'''Cpt. Choi Manawek'''
[[File:Choi-Manawek.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Cpt. Choi Manawek]]
*'''Species:''' [[starwars:Pantoran|Pantoran]]
*'''Role:''' Commanding Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Captain|Captain]]
*'''Motto:''' "We guard the stars."
*Biography
Born into a military family Choi’s grandfather, Karol, was a General in the Pantoran Home Defence Force while his father Vitor was the captain of an Acclamator-class assault ship called the Intrepid during the Clone Wars before becoming am Admiral in the Pantoran Home Defence Fleet. As such it was expected, from an early age, that Choi would follow the family tradition of military service so when at the age of ten he was enrolled in the prestigious Nahoi Military School where seven generations of Manawek’s had studied before him.

During his time there the young Choi flourished, the discipline and structure agreeing with him. With visions of saving the galaxy from the bridge of a great starship the young Pantoran threw himself whole-heartedly into his training eventually graduating with honours as the top cadet in his class. During his time at school the galaxy had changed and, for anyone not born human, the prospects in the military were few and far between. Chaffing at the restrictions placed on non-humans by the Empire, and against his father’s wishes, Choi joined the Rebel Alliance. Initially made the executive officer aboard an aging dreadnaught, the Trident, under a Bith Captain named Cerun Cardo. The two got along well, Cardo’s adherence to discipline matching Choi’s own and soon the Trident was one of the best run ships in the Rebels 6th Fleet. For a year Choi enjoyed his post until he was awarded with a promotion to Captain and given command of the Huntress, a Nebulon-B frigate assigned as escort for the Mon-Cal Cruiser Rogue Wave. Over the next few years Choi and the crew of the Huntress participated in numerous battles with the forces of the Imperial Navy, most notably the Battle of Endor and the Liberation of Coruscant. With the war won and the Empire defeated Choi decided a quieter life was what he needed so he retired from the newly formed New Republic navy and returned home to Pantora.

Taking a teaching position at the military academy he attended Choi found great joy in teaching the next generation the finer points of warfare, for a while at least. After years of war the quiet life of a teacher just didn’t agree with Choi and while contemplating coming out of retirement he was contacted by an old friend about an opportunity to get back into the fight on a relatively obscure planet on the Outer Rim, a planet called New Tython.

*Personality
A strict disciplinarian, Choi maintains and enforces a strict code of conduct for all members of his command staff which often brings him into conflict with the commander of his fighter compliment Bal Eris. He is also an adherent of established military doctrine and tactics and while some consider this his greatest strength many see it as his greatest weakness. His inability to think outside the box makes any engagement with a force that does not fight the way Choi expects one that could potentially end in disaster.

'''Cmdr. Leilani Aasa'''
[[File:Leilani-Aasa.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Cmdr. Leilani Aasa]]
*'''Species:''' [[starwars:Lorrdian|Lorrdian]]
*'''Role:''' Executive Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Commander|Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "A battleship is the best ambassador."
*Biography
Born on Lorrd a few years after the end of the Clone Wars Leilani had a fairly normal childhood. She went to school, she played with her friends, she dated boys but all the while felt she was meant for something more. As the Empire became increasingly tyrannical Leilani’s parents began to speak out against them protesting for equal rights for all citizens regardless of their species. Shortly after her seventeenth birthday at a protest against Imperial tyranny her father, along with a crowd of both humans and non-humans, were gunned down by Imperial Stormtroopers.

When news reached Lorrd of the emerging Rebel Alliance Leilani, with her mother’s blessing, volunteered and was placed into the pilot training program. Her skills progressed slowly at first but as time went on she became more confident behind the stick and soon was snapping at the heels of the best pilots in her training squadron. Things changed however when a training accident forced her out of the cockpit and onto the bridge of a starship. Initially assigned to a corvette as a weapons officer she worked hard until she was eventually promoted to the executive officer on a Nebulon-B frigate called the Huntress under the command of a Pantoran captain by the name of Choi Manawek.

Over the next few years the Huntress engaged the Imperial Navy in various historic engagements until, after the Liberation of Coruscant, Choi retired after recommending Leilani be given command of the Huntress. Leilani, now a captain, stayed in the newly christened New Republic navy as they continued to battle what was left of the Empire’s forces. Day to day life slowly became more and more mundane as the Empire’s remaining forces were taken care of but that all changed in 25 ABY when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. The Huntress was assigned as an escort for refugee ships and, despite several close calls, managed to see out the war without losing a single crewmember.

With the end of the Yuuzhan Vong war Leilani retired from the New Republic navy and made her way to the Outer Rim for some peace and quiet. Eventually settling on the world of New Tython she purchased a parcel of land on the outskirts of the capital Menat Ombo, put her feet up and rested for the first time in years. The peace didn’t last long however as representatives of the K.U.D.F, learning of her past service, approached her about a command position aboard a starship they were currently rebuilding. After much thought and deliberation she accepted the offer and was made XO of the newly christened VSD Endor’s Triumph.

*Personality
As a Lorrdian Leilani is well versed in kinetic communication, a sophisticated gestural language "spoken" by the Lorrdians, that dates back to the Kanz Disorders, when the Lorrdians were enslaved by the Argazdans. Forbidden to speak to one another by their masters, the Lorrdians were forced to communicate with each other using subtle gestures, facial expressions, and body postures, which allowed them to coordinate guerrilla strikes on their overlords.

This ability to read the facial expressions and body language of various species makes her especially suited to the role of executive officer as she can discern the mood of not only those under her command but any enemy she may encounter. Many in the crew of the Endor’s Triumph consider her day to Choi Manaweks night as, while he is a strict disciplinarian, Leilani uses her ability to counsel the crew through any troubles they may be having.

'''Lt.Cmdr. Elayne Dolomar'''
[[File:Elayne-Dolomar.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Lt.Cmdr. Elayne Dolomar]]
*'''Species:''' Tythonian human
*'''Role:''' Weapons Officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "One torpedo volley is worth a lot of negotiation."
*Biography
Born among the Forest Trekkers of the Melewati Bushman Elayne could shoot the tail off a womp rat at 300 meters before she was ten years old. Trained by her father to hunt and shoot she was just eighteen years old when Cy Thuron overthrew the government and named himself king. Too isolated to be evacuated Elayne and her people engaged the forces of the New Dawn and the mercenaries under there command, employing guerrilla tactics and the terrain to slow the advance of the invading forces.

By the time the war was over and the Jedi of Odan-Urr had prevailed Elayne had lost her father, mother, older brother and her innocence. With nothing to keep her among the Forest Trekkers she travelled to Menat Ombo to enlist in the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force. Initially slated to join the ground forces Elayne put in a request to be transferred to the navy, hoping to leave the bad memories of the war behind her. Placed in gunnery school she excelled, transferring her skills with a rifle to the big guns of a star destroyer until, after years of hard work, she was assigned to the VSD Endor’s Triumph as the weapon’s officer.

*Personality
Prior to the war Elayne was a happy, cheerful young girl but years of constant guerrilla warfare and the loss of her entire family changed her. She is now much more hesitant to get close to people, often keeping them at arm’s length and never really getting to know them claiming that if she doesn’t really know them it won’t hurt as much when they inevitably die.

'''Lt.Cmdr. Bail Leandar'''
[[File:Bail-Leandar.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Cmdr. Bail Leandar]]
*'''Species:''' Half-[[starwars:Arkanian|Arkanian]]
*'''Role:''' Navigations officer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "It is always better to find your enemy, before your enemy finds you."
*Biography
Born on Coruscant Bail is the illegitimate son of an Arkanian diplomat and a human waitress who worked in a small café in the diplomatic district. Growing up Bail never wanted for anything, his father ensuring he and his mother lived in comfort despite never publicly acknowledging Bail as his son. Growing up Bail was fascinated with space travel so when he was old enough Bail’s father pulled some strings and got him admitted to into one of the more prestigious flight schools on Coruscant. Bail eventually graduated near the top of his class excelling in astronavigation and, with some assistance from his father, landed a job aboard the TGS Ronto, a GR-75 medium transport belonging to Transit Galactic Shipping as a navigator. Life was good and he enjoyed his work but things changed when the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. Bail’s ship, along with thousands of other transports just like it, was given over to the New Republic in an effort to relocate as many refugees out of harm’s way as possible and despite several close calls the Ronto made it through the war intact.

Once the war was won the Ronto returned to her duties hauling cargo across the galaxy. Ironically it was during peacetime that Bail and the crew of the Ronto nearly perished. Hauling cargo to a small planet in the Outer Rim they were ambushed by pirates who disabled the ship with ion cannons before boarding. As the pirates made their way through the ship killing crew members as they went Bail ran for an escape pod hoping to save himself. As the pod shot away from the ailing transport a fighter belonging to the pirates made a lazy turn, coming straight for him. Just as the pirate lined the escape pod up and Bail said a silent prayer to whatever higher power was listening his ship exploded into a dazzling fireball.

Looking out the small port hole in the side of the pod Bail could see the arrowhead shape of a star destroyer firing on the Ronto as a number of fighters engaged the pirate ships. After a quick fire fight all the pirates were either dead or disabled and Bail could feel the tug of a tractor beam on his escape pod. Expecting to be confronted by members of the New Republic navy Bail was surprised to see armed men wearing uniforms with an unknown insignia who took him to a small holding cell in the ships brig. After a few hours of questioning Bail was finally allowed to leave his cell and get something to eat in the ships mess. It was there that he learned the ship and its crew were members of a private militia under the leadership of a group of Jedi on a planet called New Tython. When the ship arrived back at port Bail approached the powers that be and, after giving them a rundown of his experience, offered his services to the K.U.D.F. who accepted and placed him aboard the newly commissioned VSD Endor’s Triumph as navigations officer.

*Personality
Considered arrogant by most people Bail is supremely confident in his abilities, a trait passed on to him by his Arkanian father. He also has a heightened sense of self preservation and often wonders to himself why he ever volunteered to serve on a warship.

'''Lt.Cmdr. Cuzao Genovin'''
[[File:Cuzao-Genovin'.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Lt.Cmdr. Cuzao Genovin]]
*'''Species:''' Tythonian Human
*'''Role:''' Chief Engineer of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Lieutenant_Commander|Lieutenant Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "Fix the ''Triumph''? Are you nuts?!"
*Biography
Born on the continent of Milil'ea on the planet of New Tython Cuzao’s father owned a small farm on the outskirts of a Mon Calamari town called New Hikahi. When he was just seven years old both his parents died from an unknown disease that left the young boy an orphan. After a week in quarantine to ensure he wasn’t sick or contagious Cuzao was placed into foster care with a Mon Calamari family in New Hikahi. His foster father Enan was a mechanic who taught the young human everything he knew about fixing everything from starships to droids to weapons and, despite being the only human in a town full of Mon Calamari, the young boy grew up into a reasonably happy young man.

When the New Dawn led by Cy Thuron overthrew the government Cuzao took his cues from his foster father and did his best to stay neutral hoping to simply live his life as quietly as possible. That plan seemed to be working for a while at least until the day the war reached New Hikahi. As the forces of the Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force and the Jedi of Odan-Urr clashed with the New Dawn fighters and there mercenary forces starfighters flashed through the sky above New Hikahi. With a deafening crack and a blinding explosion a New Dawn fighter was shot down by a K.U.D.F. fighter, the wreckage falling to the earth crushing several houses.

When the battle ended Enan approached his foster son telling him that he was wrong, they shouldn’t have stayed neutral, and implored him to volunteer for service in the K.U.D.F. Bowing to his father’s wishes he volunteered the next day and after a few months of training he was assigned to the Endor’s Triumph as an engineer where his abilities helped him rise through the ranks to the position of chief engineer.

*Personality
Something of a pessimist Cuzao is a glass half empty kind of guy, often expecting the worst when anything goes wrong with the Endor’s Triumph. Despite this he is immensely proud of the ship which he affectionately calls his “old lady”.

'''Wng.Cmdr. Bal Eris'''
[[File:Bal-Eris.jpg|140px|left|thumb|Wng.Cmdr. Bal Eris]]
*'''Species:''' [[starwars:Zabrak|Zabrak]]
*'''Role:''' Wing commander of the VSD Endor’s Triumph
*'''Rank:''' [[starwars:Wing_Commander|Wing Commander]]
*'''Motto:''' "The reinforcements were greatly appreciated... erm, have you got any more?"
*Biography: Bal-Eris was born on Iridonia. He was also fascinated with flight at a young age and was always abnormally tall for his age. He used his heights and some fake papers to enter the Iridonian Military flight school where his natural aptitude for flight put him at the top of his class. Two years later his deception was discovered and he was dishonorably discharged from the school. The discharged didn't phase him as much as not being able to fly so he searched for an answer to that problem. He found it in a group of pirates who needed a pilot to move goods for him.

After a few years of transporting stolen goods the law finally caught up with him. He was abandoned by his pirate crew on a run to new Tython when things went south and was incarcerated when Thuron attacked. A sympathetic guard released all of them and Bal-Eris found himself on a pilotless transport. When no pilot had shown he took the helm and through some fierce anti-air bombardment was able to escape the planet. A K.U.D.F commander was aboard and was impressed with his skills as a pilot and upon arrival to the fleet he was conscripted into service. He easily rose through the ranks due to his natural ability and his devotion to flying.

*Personality: Due to his time with pirates Bal-Eris has issues with authority. He often fraternizes with enlisted and junior officers. He doesn't adhere to military protocol unless absolutely needed. Many of his superiors find this to be a double edged sword. His ability to improvise is an asset but his attitude and remarks tend to draw stares.

'''Salbecca''', or Sal to his friends, is a Wookiee Jedi born in the city of Warralokk on the Wookiee home world of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]]. A member of the Jedi Order in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Old Republic]] he fought in the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] and survived [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]]. After decades in hiding Sal has once again taken up his lightsaber as a member of [[House Odan-Urr]].

==Character History==
===Early Years===
[[Image:Wawaatt.png|200px|thumb|left|The Wawaatt Archipeligo]]
Sal was born in Warralokk, a city in the [[starwars:Wawaatt Archipelago|Wawaatt Archipelago]], on the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk sixty-nine years before the Battle of Yavin. His father Torralraa was a fisherman working the waterways of the archipelago while his mother Kerriwarr took care of Sal and his older brother Arrichit. His first few years of life were not unlike that of most young Wookiees, spending his days in Warralokk's [[starwars:nursery ring|nursery ring]] learning what it meant to be a Wookiee, to show respect for Kashyyyk with it's many dangers, and spending his nights at home with his family. However a few months before his fourth birthday Sal's life changed forever.

As a member of the Galactic Republic, Kashyyyk was obligated by law to test the [[starwars:Force Sensitive|force sensitivity]] of all newborns, and Sal was tested just like every other Wookiee cub born on there. Unlike most other young Wookiee's Sal's test came back as positive for [[starwars:midi-chlorians|midi-chlorians]]. Upon discovering Sal's force sensitivity the [[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] was contacted and after much discussion between Sal's father, his clan chief and representatives of the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]] it was decided that Sal would remain on Kashyyyk until he was old enough to be brought to the temple to begin his training .When the time came for Sal to be taken to the Jedi Temple, a [[starwars:Devaronian|Devaronian]] [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named Lok Tharnas arrived on Kashyyyk to take the young cub to Coruscant. Upon arrival, Sal was placed with the other younglings of the Savrip training clan where he was initially trained by an old [[starwars:Quarren|Quarren]] Jedi Master named Chelin Frose. For the next twelve years Sal learned everything from politics and galactic law to lightsaber and unarmed combat. It was in the latter two that the young Wookiee excelled, regularly beating older students when they sparred.

[[Image:JediTemple.jpg|250px|thumb|right|The Jedi Temple on Coruscant]]

Eventually the time came for him to be chosen by a Master. Sal was chosen by Naree Cloudsinger, a human Jedi Knight from [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]]. She was in her late thirties with deep chestnut brown hair, with snow white streaks throughout and piercing green eyes. She had been a Jedi Master for five years before it was decided by the Jedi Council that she was ready to train a [[starwars:Padawan|Padawan]] of her own, and Sal was her first student. As a Jedi Guardian it was Naree's responsibility, and Sal's by extension, to maintain order throughout the galaxy. Over the next few years the pair traveled the galaxy resolving disputes, hunting down criminals and generally keeping order wherever they were required. About eight years after taking Sal on as her apprentice she decided he was ready to take on the trials, however things didn't quite go according to plan.

===A Different Kind Of Trial===
[[Image:Naree.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Sal's master Naree Cloudsinger]]
Naree and Sal had been sent to a small mid rim planet called Verapin 5 to mediate a dispute between the planets ruling body, The Council of Seven, and a resistance group calling themselves the Red Hand. The two sides had agreed to a ceasefire after seven months of all out war that threatened to spill over into the streets of the capital Verapin City. Things seemed to be going well and the talks progressed steadily over the next few weeks until the Red Hands leader Mathias Burns was assassinated. That same night the Council of Seven were rounded up from there homes by operatives of the Red Hand and taken to an abandoned farm a few miles north of the city were they were to be executed at first light. To further complicate matters the Red Hand had managed to procure several canisters of a toxin called Metaformin D and had spread them throughout the city. Originally intended as a pesticide it was discovered that Metaformin D was far more lethal to those using it than to the pests it was intended for.

With no way to save the council and prevent the murder of thousands of innocent civilians without splitting up, Naree decided that she would rescue the council while Sal aided the local authorities in searching for the Metaformin D canisters. With the aid of a government informer within the Red Hand the locals determined the location of the three canisters and Sal decided to head for the one that posed the greatest risk to the populace. Taking off through the city in great loping strides he quickly made his way to a large stone building in the center of the city. As he got closer he could sense the presence of half a dozen scared and angry individuals spread throughout the building. Being as stealthy as a seven foot tall Wookiee can be Sal approached the side of the building and using his claws began to scale the wall to the roof. When he'd reached the roof he managed to peel back the sheet metal that it was made of and slipped silently through the hole. With senses more keen than any human could hope for, he began to quietly disable the guards stationed throughout the building. A choke hold here, a strike to the head there until only the trigger man and his off-sider remained.

From a balcony above them he could hear them speaking to one another and it was clear to Sal that neither of them would hesitate to trigger the canister and release the toxin. With lightsaber in hand Sal leaped over the railing landing a few feet from the pair. Almost before they could react Sal unleashed a wave of force energy knocking the off-sider off his feet and flying through the air to strike the wall with a thud. Just as Sal began to move on the trigger man he was informed that it was a dead man trigger and if dropped the toxin would be released. Stopping mid stride Sal's eyes narrowed as he contemplated his next move. With subtle manipulations of the force Sal gripped the trigger man's hand in a bubble of force energy and in one quick motion and a blur of green removed the trigger man's hand from his arm, the force preventing the trigger from firing. After a short while the authorities arrived to disarm the toxic bomb and take the rebels into custody.

While waiting for the bomb squad to disarm the device Sal heard from Naree. All the hostages were safe and were preparing for a fresh offensive against the Red Hand. They had less than 48 hours to discover what really happened to Burns before the planet became a battlefield once more. Starting their investigation where Burns died they discovered that the small apartment where he'd died hadn't been broken into and there were no signs of a struggle indicating that not only did Burns know his killer he also trusted them. While it was a start it hardly got them any closer to preventing a war. Their big break came when they began to study holo tapes from the buildings security system. It showed one of Burns' lieutenants, a man named Fraser, entering Burns' room less that an hour before his death and leaving later in different clothes than when he arrived. Racing to confront the suspected murderer, the pair of Jedi were confronted by a dozen armed freedom fighters protecting their new leader, Fraser.

With a few subtle force aided nudges from Naree they managed to talk there way into an audience with the head of the Red Hand and confronted him with what they new. With a laugh Fraser admitted to killing Burns before ordering his men to kill the Jedi. Almost before the men could react Naree was already moving, the blade of her lightsaber a dancing blur of green energy deflecting blaster bolts left and right. Sal was half a step behind her his lightsaber redirecting bolts of energy back in the general direction they had come from. After a brief flurry of activity that left all twelve gunmen either dead or incapacitated and Fraser pleading for his life, Naree gave him the option of coming peacefully and confessing to his crimes or not co-operating with a not too subtle hint that Sal would become involved at that point. One look at the Wookiee's toothy grin was enough to convince him to confess to his crime. With the murder solved the talks got back on track. After a few more weeks of negotiation an uneasy alliance was reached and Naree and Sal headed back to Coruscant.

When they reached the Temple, Naree gave her report to the Jedi Council who after listening called Sal forward. It had been decided that due to the nature of there mission and his role in it that he would not need to sit the trials and that he would be elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight effective immediately. Engulfing Naree in a massive hairy hug he let out a roar of joy before quickly composing himself and bowing to the council.

===The Clone Wars and Order 66===
[[Image:Battle of Geonosis.png|200px|thumb|left|The Battle of Geonosis]]
By the time the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] began, Sal had been stationed in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as a lightsaber instructor. When the call came for Jedi to travel to [[starwars:Geonosis|Geonosis]] to rescue [[starwars:Obi-Wan Kenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]], his padawan [[starwars:Anakin Skywalker|Anakin Skywalker]] and [[starwars:Senator|Senator]] [[starwars:Padme Amidala|Padme Amidala]], Sal was one of the first to volunteer. As [[starwars:Mace Windu|Mace Windu]] and his force of fifty Jedi entered the Geonisian arena to rescue the hostages Sal was in the cargo bay of an [[starwars:Acclamator-class assault ship|Acclamator assault ship]] with a regiment of clone troopers. As the Acclamator entered the atmosphere and landed on the dusty surface of Geonosis Sal let out a battle roar and led his troops into the fray. Through the dust and smoke Sal's lightsaber flashed left and right deflecting droid blaster bolts until the two sides clashed in a dizzying melee. As droids and clones fell around him Sal cut down droid after droid. For what seemed like hours the battle raged until the droid army were in full retreat. Stopping to catch his breath Sal looked around and was stunned at the amount of death and destruction at his feet.

With the battle of Geonosis won and the Clone Wars underway, Sal was made a Jedi General and given command of a legion of clone troopers and sent to a small mud ball of a planet called Kiffen. Covered in swamps the planet would have been inconsequential in the greater scheme of things if not for the large trade federation droid factory in the planets southern hemisphere. For the next year and a half Sal and his clone troopers fought when they could, ran when they had to and made life as difficult as possible for the [[starwars:Neimoidian|Neimoidian]] general leading the droid armies on planet, but for every droid killed the legion payed a terrible price as there numbers began to dwindle. Hoping for reinforcements Sal led a small squad on a patrol of the swamps when Darth Sidious made his play.

As [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]] was executed, Sal could sense something through the Force. Spinning on his heel he lashed out with his lightsaber, the heads of the closest two clone troopers falling from there bodies. With a blast of the force he set another trooper flying into a distant tree before the first clone trooper struck. A blaster bolt caught the big Wookiee in the thigh before another caught him in the shoulder. Pushing through the pain he dodged and parried blaster bolts, cutting down clone troopers left and right. When the skirmish was over and every clone trooper lay dead at his feet, Sal surveyed his wounds. Apart from the two blaster shots, he'd suffered some minor burns and scrapes but nothing life threatening. Taking off deeper into the swamp he managed to find a small cave a few miles from the site of the battle and, heading as far into it as possible. For the next few days Sal meditated in a deep trance, using the force to heal his wounds.

When his wounds had healed Sal left the cave and headed for the nearest spaceport. Stealing a shuttle he contemplated heading for Kashyyyk but thought better of it, knowing that if the clone army knew he was alive his home world would be one of the first places they looked. Searching through the shuttles database he began to look for an out of the way world where he could hide for as long as possible. He eventually landed on the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]] hoping to become lost in the sprawling city that covered the moon. Putting away his lightsaber and robes, Sal opened a small store where he could put his natural mechanical skills to good use. For the next two decades he eked out a meager existence fixing everything from blasters to hyperdrives. Eventually news reached the Smugglers Moon that the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] had been defeated at [[starwars:Endor|Endor]] and Sal felt it was now time to go home.

===Return to Kashyyyk===
[[Image:KashyyykKamda.jpg |180px|thumb|right|Kashyyyk]]
For the next few years Sal saved every credit he could spare until, ten years after the Empire's defeat at Endor, he'd managed to save enough credits for passage to Kashyyyk. After a few weeks travel he finally arrived on his homeworld - a world he left over seven decades before. But despite all that time away, the moment he stepped off the landing craft he felt home. For a few minutes he stood silently letting the cool, sweet air of his homeworld fill his lungs and rustle his fur before heading further into the spaceport to arrange transit to Warralokk. That was easier said than done however as Warralokk had been destroyed by the Empire more than a decade before and every Wookiee that survived the attack taken by the Empire as slaves. Heartbroken Sal pleaded with the young Wookiee at the transit office to get him home and, feeling sorry for Sal, the officer agreed. Less than an hour later the small shuttle was circling what was left of Sal's childhood home.

Putting the shuttle down on the largest of the intact branches of the wroshyr tree that made up the main section of the destroyed city, he walked among the destroyed houses and shops of his birth place it was all Sal could do not to give in to grief and despair. Snapping a young branch from the wroshyr tree he placed it carefully into his satchel and asked the pilot to return him to [[starwars:Rwookrrorro|Rwookrrorro]]. Upon returning to Kashyyyk's capital he did his best to investigate the fate of his family. From what little records that had survived the imperial occupation he discovered that his parent's and brother had been alive at the time but little else. With little else to go on Sal decided to head for the centre of government bureaucracy, Coruscant, to see what he could dig up.

===Return To The Jedi===
[[Image:Arrichit.JPG|180px|thumb|left|Sal's brother Arrichit]]
Arriving on Coruscant he began to search the extensive imperial records left over after the Republic took control of the planet. For months he sifted through any record he could find regarding the occupation of Kashyyyk or the slaves they took off the planet. It was tedious work but eventually it paid off. In a dusty box of old hard copy reports he found a list of slaves transported from [[starwars:Despayre|Despayre]] after construction of the first Death Star was complete. As he scanned over the list of names he saw one that stood out, his brother Arrichit. He, along with about 300 other Wookiees, were being transported to a prison on the planet Averum when the ship disappeared in the Judecca system. An imperial recon team had been sent to the system to ascertain what had happened to the ship and its cargo but, discovering nothing but the wreckage of a number of starships, assumed the ship had been destroyed. They did however recover several pieces of wreckage including the flight computer from a destroyed fighter. The data dumped from the flight computer indicated that, in the midst of a battle between Trandoshans and a Hutt cartel, a squadron of X-Wing fighters entered the system and engaged the forces in system in battle. After quickly destroying both the Trandoshan and Cartel ships they escorted the prison ship out of the system on a heading that would take them close to a number of systems but only intersect with one, the [[Yhi System|Yhi system]].

A week or so later Sal was sitting in the passenger hold of a smuggler's ship on his way to the Yhi system, specifically [[New Tython]]. He spent the trip to New Tython deep in meditation but the thought of finding his family was never far from the forefront of his mind. Eventually the ship touched down on New Tython, a few miles outside of the capital [[Menat Ombo]]. After a brief farewell Sal began walking in the direction of what, from the air at least, appeared to be a Wookiee village in a forest to the west.

A few hours later Sal was greeted at the perimeter of the village by a large young Wookiee with shaggy brown fur, a bowcaster in hand and a ryyk blade on his hip. Greeting the younger Wookiee, Sal requested and audience with the clan chief and was led through the village to a large hall at its centre. As he entered he saw a large black furred Wookiee who was introduced to Sal as Liika. Introducing himself to Liika Sal began to recount his story to the leader of this Wookiee enclave. Telling him everything from his Jedi training to his service in the Clone wars to his years of exile on Nar Shaddaa. The entire time the old wookiee said nothing until Sal had finished talking before asking how he could help. Sal explained that he believed his family had been on the prison ship that had brought them to New Tython and that he'd hoped to find some trace of him. Once Liika had been informed of the name of Sal's brother he sent a runner to fetch Arrichit.

It had been nearly one hundred years but as soon as Arrichit entered, Sal knew it was him - as if by some miracle he'd found his brother. With tears streaming unabashedly down his hairy face he engulfed his brother in a huge hairy hug and howled with joy. Taking their leave of Liika the two brothers headed for Arrichit's house. When they arrived Sal was introduced to Arrichit's mate Jowbev and son Lakdrrl. The reunited brothers talked well into the night, Sal finally learning the fate of his parents. His father had died during the imperial invasion of Kashyyyk while his mother had been worked to death on Despayre. Sal also learned that Arrichit and his son were members of the Chosen of Bacca, a wookiee regiment in service to the Jedi of Odan-Urr and that every Wookiee on the prison ship had pledged a life debt to them. After learning more of House Odan-Urr Sal decided to make himself known to them so he, for the first time in decades, donned his Jedi robes and lightsaber and headed for their complex with an honour guard of wookiee warriors. When the group arrived Sal was introduced to the leaders of Odan-Urr and, after relaying his story, offered his services to the House. After much deliberation his offer was accepted and Sal became a member of House Odan-Urr.

==Character Information==

===Physical Appearance===

Large even for a wookiee, Salbecca stands well over 7 feet tall and is covered almost head to toe in deep black fur. The only part of the big Wookiee that differs from this uniform blackness are three white stripes. The first begins just below his bottom lip and runs diagonally down to his throat. The other two begin on his forhead, running down his face to meet at a point just above his nose. He also possesses a pair of piercing blue eyes. He can usually be seen wearing robes similar to those he wore during his time as a Jedi prior to the fall of the Old Republic at the end of the Clone Wars.

==Personal Possessions==

===Lightsaber===

[[Image:SalLightsaber.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sal's lightsaber]]
Sal's original lightsaber was, like most Jedi, made completely of manufactured products like durasteel and plastics. However after joining House Odan-Urr Sal took the [[starwars:wroshyr tree|wroshyr]] branch he'd acquired on Kashyyyk and, after hollowing it out, used it as the basis for a new lightsaber. In this way he can always carry a piece of his home with him at all times.

===Other Weapons===
When he put aside his lightsaber at the end of the Clone Wars Sal needed something to keep himself safe on the near lawless moon of Nar Shaddaa. The first weapon he constructed started life as a broken down old [[starwars:DC-15A|DC-15A blaster rifle]] Sal found on a trash pile that would eventually become a [[starwars:bowcaster|bowcaster]]. Stripping the weapon down to the frame he attached a pair of polarizing orbs and removed the [[starwars:tibanna|tibanna gas]] cartridge to create space for the magazine of 10 explosive bolts. Once the bowcaster was complete Sal took a piece of starship hull and fashioned himself a [[starwars:ryyk blade|ryyk blade]].

===S.P.O.T.===
A few years after arriving at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant Sal became tired of the translator unit the order had given him so he decided to take matters into his own furry hands and create his own. Starting with a standard [[starwars:training remote|training remote]] he removed everything but the [[starwars:repulsorlift|repulsorlift]] engines before taking the [[starwars: AA-1_VerboBrain|AA-1 VerboBrain]] and [[starwars: TranLang_III_communications_module|TranLang III communications module]] from a [[starwars: 3PO-series_protocol_droid|3PO droid]] he found on a temple junk pile and, with a little forceful encouragement, installed them into the shell of the remote. Once he was done he chose to call his new translator S.P.O.T which is an acronym for Self Propelled Oratory Translator.

Call of Freedom squadron, nicknamed the Warpigs, is a bomber squadron flying the [[starwars:BTL-A4 Y-Wing|BTL-A4 Y-Wing]] under the command of Captain Aren Finn. They are currently a part of the Tythonian Space Militia stationed on the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Fey’lya’s Last Stand.

== Formation ==
[[Image:Warpigs2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The Warpigs in combat]]
Formed in 36 ABY under the command of Kris Vander the Warpigs were assigned to the NSD Fey’lya’s Last Stand as its [[starwars:bomber|bomber squadron]]. Over the years the squadron has seen a greater pilot turnover than any other squadron in the K.U.D.F as there antiquated Y-Wings took vast amounts of punishment resulting in a large number of pilot deaths. The squadron is comprised of 12 pilots, their respective astromech droids and a compliment of six [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]] support personnel and are currently led by Captain Aren Finn.

== Equipment ==
[[Image:Warpigs1.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The BTL-A4 Y-Wing]]
The Warpigs fly BTL-A4 Y-Wings with each shipped crewed by a single pilot and an [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]]. Each 16 meter long ship is armed with two Taim & Bak IX4 or KX5 laser cannons along with two Arakyd Industries Flex Tube proton torpedo launchers each with a magazine of four torpedoes. The Y-wing can also carry 20 proton bombs. The wedge-shaped cockpit and Guidenhauser ejection system was placed on the front of the craft, with the central spar containing the Novaldex power generator extending behind it. Thiodyne 03-R cryogenic power cells and ionization reactor supplemented the Novaldex generator. Two 2 Koensayr R200 ion jet engines, rated at 250 KTU and capable of 70 MGLT were attached to either side of the spar.

The A4 variant boasted much greater endurance over its earlier predecessors, but was penalized with less powerful deflector shields and loss of accuracy in the ion cannons. The loss of shield power provided a boost in engine power, but the combination proved insufficient and the A4 variant developed a poor reputation among its pilots, and the starfighter was said to move like a "sleepy Hutt”. Although slow for ship-to-ship combat, it was still capable of engaging other craft, and the Y-wing was excellent when used for planetary bombing runs.

==Flights==

The Warpigs are composed of three flights of four Y-Wings.

'''Salbecca''', or Sal to his friends, is a Wookiee Jedi born in the city of Warralokk on the Wookiee home world of [[starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk]]. A member of the Jedi Order in the waning days of the [[starwars:Galactic Republic|Old Republic]] he fought in the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] and survived [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]]. After decades in hiding Sal has once again taken up his lightsaber as a member of [[House Odan-Urr]].

==Character History==
===Early Years===
[[Image:Wawaatt.png|200px|thumb|left|The Wawaatt Archipeligo]]
Sal was born in Warralokk, a city in the [[starwars:Wawaatt Archipelago|Wawaatt Archipelago]], on the Wookiee home world of Kashyyyk sixty-nine years before the Battle of Yavin. His father Torralraa was a fisherman working the waterways of the archipelago while his mother Kerriwarr took care of Sal and his older brother Arrichit. His first few years of life were not unlike that of most young Wookiees, spending his days in Warralokk's [[starwars:nursery ring|nursery ring]] learning what it meant to be a Wookiee, to show respect for Kashyyyk with it's many dangers, and spending his nights at home with his family. However a few months before his fourth birthday Sal's life changed forever.

As a member of the Galactic Republic, Kashyyyk was obligated by law to test the [[starwars:Force Sensitive|force sensitivity]] of all newborns, and Sal was tested just like every other Wookiee cub born on there. Unlike most other young Wookiee's Sal's test came back as positive for [[starwars:midi-chlorians|midi-chlorians]]. Upon discovering Sal's force sensitivity the [[starwars:Jedi Temple|Jedi Temple]] on [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] was contacted and after much discussion between Sal's father, his clan chief and representatives of the [[starwars:Jedi Order|Jedi Order]] it was decided that Sal would remain on Kashyyyk until he was old enough to be brought to the temple to begin his training .When the time came for Sal to be taken to the Jedi Temple, a [[starwars:Devaronian|Devaronian]] [[starwars:Jedi Master|Jedi Master]] named Lok Tharnas arrived on Kashyyyk to take the young cub to Coruscant. Upon arrival, Sal was placed with the other younglings of the Savrip training clan where he was initially trained by an old [[starwars:Quarren|Quarren]] Jedi Master named Chelin Frose. For the next twelve years Sal learned everything from politics and galactic law to lightsaber and unarmed combat. It was in the latter two that the young Wookiee excelled, regularly beating older students when they sparred.

Eventually the time came for him to be chosen by a Master. Sal was chosen by Naree Cloudsinger, a human Jedi Knight from [[starwars:Tatooine|Tatooine]]. She was in her late thirties with deep chestnut brown hair, with snow white streaks throughout and piercing green eyes. She had been a Jedi Master for five years before it was decided by the Jedi Council that she was ready to train a [[starwars:Padawan|Padawan]] of her own, and Sal was her first student. As a Jedi Guardian it was Naree's responsibility, and Sal's by extension, to maintain order throughout the galaxy. Over the next few years the pair traveled the galaxy resolving disputes, hunting down criminals and generally keeping order wherever they were required. About eight years after taking Sal on as her apprentice she decided he was ready to take on the trials, however things didn't quite go according to plan.

===A Different Kind Of Trial===
[[Image:Naree.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Sal's master Naree Cloudsinger]]
Naree and Sal had been sent to a small mid rim planet called Verapin 5 to mediate a dispute between the planets ruling body, The Council of Seven, and a resistance group calling themselves the Red Hand. The two sides had agreed to a ceasefire after seven months of all out war that threatened to spill over into the streets of the capital Verapin City. Things seemed to be going well and the talks progressed steadily over the next few weeks until the Red Hands leader Mathias Burns was assassinated. That same night the Council of Seven were rounded up from there homes by operatives of the Red Hand and taken to an abandoned farm a few miles north of the city were they were to be executed at first light. To further complicate matters the Red Hand had managed to procure several canisters of a toxin called Metaformin D and had spread them throughout the city. Originally intended as a pesticide it was discovered that Metaformin D was far more lethal to those using it than to the pests it was intended for.

With no way to save the council and prevent the murder of thousands of innocent civilians without splitting up, Naree decided that she would rescue the council while Sal aided the local authorities in searching for the Metaformin D canisters. With the aid of a government informer within the Red Hand the locals determined the location of the three canisters and Sal decided to head for the one that posed the greatest risk to the populace. Taking off through the city in great loping strides he quickly made his way to a large stone building in the center of the city. As he got closer he could sense the presence of half a dozen scared and angry individuals spread throughout the building. Being as stealthy as a seven foot tall Wookiee can be Sal approached the side of the building and using his claws began to scale the wall to the roof. When he'd reached the roof he managed to peel back the sheet metal that it was made of and slipped silently through the hole. With senses more keen than any human could hope for, he began to quietly disable the guards stationed throughout the building. A choke hold here, a strike to the head there until only the trigger man and his off-sider remained.

From a balcony above them he could hear them speaking to one another and it was clear to Sal that neither of them would hesitate to trigger the canister and release the toxin. With lightsaber in hand Sal leaped over the railing landing a few feet from the pair. Almost before they could react Sal unleashed a wave of force energy knocking the off-sider off his feet and flying through the air to strike the wall with a thud. Just as Sal began to move on the trigger man he was informed that it was a dead man trigger and if dropped the toxin would be released. Stopping mid stride Sal's eyes narrowed as he contemplated his next move. With subtle manipulations of the force Sal gripped the trigger man's hand in a bubble of force energy and in one quick motion and a blur of green removed the trigger man's hand from his arm, the force preventing the trigger from firing. After a short while the authorities arrived to disarm the toxic bomb and take the rebels into custody.

While waiting for the bomb squad to disarm the device Sal heard from Naree. All the hostages were safe and were preparing for a fresh offensive against the Red Hand. They had less than 48 hours to discover what really happened to Burns before the planet became a battlefield once more. Starting their investigation where Burns died they discovered that the small apartment where he'd died hadn't been broken into and there were no signs of a struggle indicating that not only did Burns know his killer he also trusted them. While it was a start it hardly got them any closer to preventing a war. Their big break came when they began to study holo tapes from the buildings security system. It showed one of Burns' lieutenants, a man named Fraser, entering Burns' room less that an hour before his death and leaving later in different clothes than when he arrived. Racing to confront the suspected murderer, the pair of Jedi were confronted by a dozen armed freedom fighters protecting their new leader, Fraser.

With a few subtle force aided nudges from Naree they managed to talk there way into an audience with the head of the Red Hand and confronted him with what they new. With a laugh Fraser admitted to killing Burns before ordering his men to kill the Jedi. Almost before the men could react Naree was already moving, the blade of her lightsaber a dancing blur of green energy deflecting blaster bolts left and right. Sal was half a step behind her his lightsaber redirecting bolts of energy back in the general direction they had come from. After a brief flurry of activity that left all twelve gunmen either dead or incapacitated and Fraser pleading for his life, Naree gave him the option of coming peacefully and confessing to his crimes or not co-operating with a not too subtle hint that Sal would become involved at that point. One look at the Wookiee's toothy grin was enough to convince him to confess to his crime. With the murder solved the talks got back on track. After a few more weeks of negotiation an uneasy alliance was reached and Naree and Sal headed back to Coruscant.

When they reached the Temple, Naree gave her report to the Jedi Council who after listening called Sal forward. It had been decided that due to the nature of there mission and his role in it that he would not need to sit the trials and that he would be elevated to the rank of Jedi Knight effective immediately. Engulfing Naree in a massive hairy hug he let out a roar of joy before quickly composing himself and bowing to the council.

===The Clone Wars and Order 66===
[[Image:Battle of Geonosis.png|200px|thumb|left|The Battle of Geonosis]]
By the time the [[starwars:Clone Wars|Clone Wars]] began, Sal had been stationed in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as a lightsaber instructor. When the call came for Jedi to travel to [[starwars:Geonosis|Geonosis]] to rescue [[starwars:Obi-Wan Kenobi|Obi-Wan Kenobi]], his padawan [[starwars:Anakin Skywalker|Anakin Skywalker]] and [[starwars:Senator|Senator]] [[starwars:Padme Amidala|Padme Amidala]], Sal was one of the first to volunteer. As [[starwars:Mace Windu|Mace Windu]] and his force of fifty Jedi entered the Geonisian arena to rescue the hostages Sal was in the cargo bay of an [[starwars:Acclamator-class assault ship|Acclamator assault ship]] with a regiment of clone troopers. As the Acclamator entered the atmosphere and landed on the dusty surface of Geonosis Sal let out a battle roar and led his troops into the fray. Through the dust and smoke Sal's lightsaber flashed left and right deflecting droid blaster bolts until the two sides clashed in a dizzying melee. As droids and clones fell around him Sal cut down droid after droid. For what seemed like hours the battle raged until the droid army were in full retreat. Stopping to catch his breath Sal looked around and was stunned at the amount of death and destruction at his feet.

With the battle of Geonosis won and the Clone Wars underway, Sal was made a Jedi General and given command of a legion of clone troopers and sent to a small mud ball of a planet called Kiffen. Covered in swamps the planet would have been inconsequential in the greater scheme of things if not for the large trade federation droid factory in the planets southern hemisphere. For the next year and a half Sal and his clone troopers fought when they could, ran when they had to and made life as difficult as possible for the [[starwars:Neimoidian|Neimoidian]] general leading the droid armies on planet, but for every droid killed the legion payed a terrible price as there numbers began to dwindle. Hoping for reinforcements Sal led a small squad on a patrol of the swamps when Darth Sidious made his play.

As [[starwars:Order 66|Order 66]] was executed, Sal could sense something through the Force. Spinning on his heel he lashed out with his lightsaber, the heads of the closest two clone troopers falling from there bodies. With a blast of the force he set another trooper flying into a distant tree before the first clone trooper struck. A blaster bolt caught the big Wookiee in the thigh before another caught him in the shoulder. Pushing through the pain he dodged and parried blaster bolts, cutting down clone troopers left and right. When the skirmish was over and every clone trooper lay dead at his feet, Sal surveyed his wounds. Apart from the two blaster shots, he'd suffered some minor burns and scrapes but nothing life threatening. Taking off deeper into the swamp he managed to find a small cave a few miles from the site of the battle and, heading as far into it as possible. For the next few days Sal meditated in a deep trance, using the force to heal his wounds.

When his wounds had healed Sal left the cave and headed for the nearest spaceport. Stealing a shuttle he contemplated heading for Kashyyyk but thought better of it, knowing that if the clone army knew he was alive his home world would be one of the first places they looked. Searching through the shuttles database he began to look for an out of the way world where he could hide for as long as possible. He eventually landed on the moon of [[starwars:Nar Shaddaa|Nar Shaddaa]] hoping to become lost in the sprawling city that covered the moon. Putting away his lightsaber and robes, Sal opened a small store where he could put his natural mechanical skills to good use. For the next two decades he eked out a meager existence fixing everything from blasters to hyperdrives. Eventually news reached the Smugglers Moon that the [[starwars:Galactic Empire|Empire]] had been defeated at [[starwars:Endor|Endor]] and Sal felt it was now time to go home.

===Return to Kashyyyk===
[[Image:KashyyykKamda.jpg |180px|thumb|right|Kashyyyk]]
For the next few years Sal saved every credit he could spare until, ten years after the Empire's defeat at Endor, he'd managed to save enough credits for passage to Kashyyyk. After a few weeks travel he finally arrived on his homeworld - a world he left over seven decades before. But despite all that time away, the moment he stepped off the landing craft he felt home. For a few minutes he stood silently letting the cool, sweet air of his homeworld fill his lungs and rustle his fur before heading further into the spaceport to arrange transit to Warralokk. That was easier said than done however as Warralokk had been destroyed by the Empire more than a decade before and every Wookiee that survived the attack taken by the Empire as slaves. Heartbroken Sal pleaded with the young Wookiee at the transit office to get him home and, feeling sorry for Sal, the officer agreed. Less than an hour later the small shuttle was circling what was left of Sal's childhood home.

Putting the shuttle down on the largest of the intact branches of the wroshyr tree that made up the main section of the destroyed city, he walked among the destroyed houses and shops of his birth place it was all Sal could do not to give in to grief and despair. Snapping a young branch from the wroshyr tree he placed it carefully into his satchel and asked the pilot to return him to [[starwars:Rwookrrorro|Rwookrrorro]]. Upon returning to Kashyyyk's capital he did his best to investigate the fate of his family. From what little records that had survived the imperial occupation he discovered that his parent's and brother had been alive at the time but little else. With little else to go on Sal decided to head for the centre of government bureaucracy, Coruscant, to see what he could dig up.

===Return To The Jedi===
[[Image:Arrichit.JPG|180px|thumb|left|Sal's brother Arrichit]]
Arriving on Coruscant he began to search the extensive imperial records left over after the Republic took control of the planet. For months he sifted through any record he could find regarding the occupation of Kashyyyk or the slaves they took off the planet. It was tedious work but eventually it paid off. In a dusty box of old hard copy reports he found a list of slaves transported from [[starwars:Despayre|Despayre]] after construction of the first Death Star was complete. As he scanned over the list of names he saw one that stood out, his brother Arrichit. He, along with about 300 other Wookiees, were being transported to a prison on the planet Averum when the ship disappeared in the Judecca system. An imperial recon team had been sent to the system to ascertain what had happened to the ship and its cargo but, discovering nothing but the wreckage of a number of starships, assumed the ship had been destroyed. They did however recover several pieces of wreckage including the flight computer from a destroyed fighter. The data dumped from the flight computer indicated that, in the midst of a battle between Trandoshans and a Hutt cartel, a squadron of X-Wing fighters entered the system and engaged the forces in system in battle. After quickly destroying both the Trandoshan and Cartel ships they escorted the prison ship out of the system on a heading that would take them close to a number of systems but only intersect with one, the [[Yhi System|Yhi system]].

A week or so later Sal was sitting in the passenger hold of a smuggler's ship on his way to the Yhi system, specifically [[New Tython]]. He spent the trip to New Tython deep in meditation but the thought of finding his family was never far from the forefront of his mind. Eventually the ship touched down on New Tython, a few miles outside of the capital [[Menat Ombo]]. After a brief farewell Sal began walking in the direction of what, from the air at least, appeared to be a Wookiee village in a forest to the west.

A few hours later Sal was greeted at the perimeter of the village by a large young Wookiee with shaggy brown fur, a bowcaster in hand and a ryyk blade on his hip. Greeting the younger Wookiee, Sal requested and audience with the clan chief and was led through the village to a large hall at its centre. As he entered he saw a large black furred Wookiee who was introduced to Sal as Liika. Introducing himself to Liika Sal began to recount his story to the leader of this Wookiee enclave. Telling him everything from his Jedi training to his service in the Clone wars to his years of exile on Nar Shaddaa. The entire time the old wookiee said nothing until Sal had finished talking before asking how he could help. Sal explained that he believed his family had been on the prison ship that had brought them to New Tython and that he'd hoped to find some trace of him. Once Liika had been informed of the name of Sal's brother he sent a runner to fetch Arrichit.

It had been nearly one hundred years but as soon as Arrichit entered, Sal knew it was him - as if by some miracle he'd found his brother. With tears streaming unabashedly down his hairy face he engulfed his brother in a huge hairy hug and howled with joy. Taking their leave of Liika the two brothers headed for Arrichit's house. When they arrived Sal was introduced to Arrichit's mate Jowbev and son Lakdrrl. The reunited brothers talked well into the night, Sal finally learning the fate of his parents. His father had died during the imperial invasion of Kashyyyk while his mother had been worked to death on Despayre. Sal also learned that Arrichit and his son were members of the Chosen of Bacca, a wookiee regiment in service to the Jedi of Odan-Urr and that every Wookiee on the prison ship had pledged a life debt to them. After learning more of House Odan-Urr Sal decided to make himself known to them so he, for the first time in decades, donned his Jedi robes and lightsaber and headed for their complex with an honour guard of wookiee warriors. When the group arrived Sal was introduced to the leaders of Odan-Urr and, after relaying his story, offered his services to the House. After much deliberation his offer was accepted and Sal became a member of House Odan-Urr.

==Character Information==

===Physical Appearance===

Large even for a wookiee, Salbecca stands well over 7 feet tall and is covered almost head to toe in deep black fur. The only part of the big Wookiee that differs from this uniform blackness are three white stripes. The first begins just below his bottom lip and runs diagonally down to his throat. The other two begin on his forhead, running down his face to meet at a point just above his nose. He also possesses a pair of piercing blue eyes. He can usually be seen wearing robes similar to those he wore during his time as a Jedi prior to the fall of the Old Republic at the end of the Clone Wars.

==Personal Possessions==

===Lightsaber===

[[Image:SalLightsaber.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sal's lightsaber]]
Sal's original lightsaber was, like most Jedi, made completely of manufactured products like durasteel and plastics. However after joining House Odan-Urr Sal took the [[starwars:wroshyr tree|wroshyr]] branch he'd acquired on Kashyyyk and, after hollowing it out, used it as the basis for a new lightsaber. In this way he can always carry a piece of his home with him at all times.

===Other Weapons===
When he put aside his lightsaber at the end of the Clone Wars Sal needed something to keep himself safe on the near lawless moon of Nar Shaddaa. The first weapon he constructed started life as a broken down old [[starwars:DC-15A|DC-15A blaster rifle]] Sal found on a trash pile that would eventually become a [[starwars:bowcaster|bowcaster]]. Stripping the weapon down to the frame he attached a pair of polarizing orbs and removed the [[starwars:tibanna|tibanna gas]] cartridge to create space for the magazine of 10 explosive bolts. Once the bowcaster was complete Sal took a piece of starship hull and fashioned himself a [[starwars:ryyk blade|ryyk blade]].

===S.P.O.T.===
A few years after arriving at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant Sal became tired of the translator unit the order had given him so he decided to take matters into his own furry hands and create his own. Starting with a standard [[starwars:training remote|training remote]] he removed everything but the [[starwars:repulsorlift|repulsorlift]] engines before taking the [[starwars: AA-1_VerboBrain|AA-1 VerboBrain]] and [[starwars: TranLang_III_communications_module|TranLang III communications module]] from a [[starwars: 3PO-series_protocol_droid|3PO droid]] he found on a temple junk pile and, with a little forceful encouragement, installed them into the shell of the remote. Once he was done he chose to call his new translator S.P.O.T which is an acronym for Self Propelled Oratory Translator.

}}
Call of Freedom squadron, nicknamed the Warpigs, is a bomber squadron flying the [[starwars:BTL-A4 Y-Wing|BTL-A4 Y-Wing]] under the command of Captain Aren Finn. They are currently a part of the Tythonian Space Militia stationed on the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Fey’lya’s Last Stand.

== Formation ==

Formed in 36 ABY under the command of Kris Vander the Warpigs were assigned to the NSD Fey’lya’s Last Stand as its [[starwars:bomber|bomber squadron]]. Over the years the squadron has seen a greater pilot turnover than any other squadron in the K.U.D.F as there antiquated Y-Wings took vast amounts of punishment resulting in a large number of pilot deaths. The squadron is comprised of 12 pilots, their respective astromech droids and a compliment of six [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]] support personnel and are currently led by Captain Aren Finn.

== Equipment ==
[[Image:Warpigs1.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The BTL-A4 Y-Wing]] [[Image:Warpigs2.jpg|150px|thumb|right|The Warpigs in combat]]
The Warpigs fly BTL-A4 Y-Wings with each shipped crewed by a single pilot and an [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]]. Each 16 meter long ship is armed with two Taim & Bak IX4 or KX5 laser cannons along with two Arakyd Industries Flex Tube proton torpedo launchers each with a magazine of four torpedoes. The Y-wing can also carry 20 proton bombs. The wedge-shaped cockpit and Guidenhauser ejection system was placed on the front of the craft, with the central spar containing the Novaldex power generator extending behind it. Thiodyne 03-R cryogenic power cells and ionization reactor supplemented the Novaldex generator. Two 2 Koensayr R200 ion jet engines, rated at 250 KTU and capable of 70 MGLT were attached to either side of the spar.

The A4 variant boasted much greater endurance over its earlier predecessors, but was penalized with less powerful deflector shields and loss of accuracy in the ion cannons. The loss of shield power provided a boost in engine power, but the combination proved insufficient and the A4 variant developed a poor reputation among its pilots, and the starfighter was said to move like a "sleepy Hutt”. Although slow for ship-to-ship combat, it was still capable of engaging other craft, and the Y-wing was excellent when used for planetary bombing runs.

==Flights==

The Warpigs are composed of three flights of four Y-Wings.

Call of Freedom squadron, nicknamed the Warpigs, is a bomber squadron flying the [[starwars:BTL-A4 Y-Wing|BTL-A4 Y-Wing]] under the command of Captain Aren Finn. They are currently a part of the Tythonian Space Militia stationed on the Nebula-class Star Destroyer Fey’lya’s Last Stand.

== Formation ==

Formed in 36 ABY under the command of Kris Vander the Warpigs were assigned to the NSD Fey’lya’s Last Stand as its [[starwars:bomber|bomber squadron]]. Over the years the squadron has seen a greater pilot turnover than any other squadron in the K.U.D.F as there antiquated Y-Wings took vast amounts of punishment resulting in a large number of pilot deaths. The squadron is comprised of 12 pilots, their respective astromech droids and a compliment of six [[starwars:Mon Calamari|Mon Calamari]] support personnel and are currently led by Captain Aren Finn.

== Equipment ==
[[Image:Warpigs1.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The BTL-A4 Y-Wing]] [[Image:Warpigs2.jpg|150px|thumb|right|The Warpigs in combat]]
The Warpigs fly BTL-A4 Y-Wings with each shipped crewed by a single pilot and an [[starwars:astromech|astromech droid]]. Each 16 meter long ship is armed with two Taim & Bak IX4 or KX5 laser cannons along with two Arakyd Industries Flex Tube proton torpedo launchers each with a magazine of four torpedoes. The Y-wing can also carry 20 proton bombs. The wedge-shaped cockpit and Guidenhauser ejection system was placed on the front of the craft, with the central spar containing the Novaldex power generator extending behind it. Thiodyne 03-R cryogenic power cells and ionization reactor supplemented the Novaldex generator. Two 2 Koensayr R200 ion jet engines, rated at 250 KTU and capable of 70 MGLT were attached to either side of the spar.

The A4 variant boasted much greater endurance over its earlier predecessors, but was penalized with less powerful deflector shields and loss of accuracy in the ion cannons. The loss of shield power provided a boost in engine power, but the combination proved insufficient and the A4 variant developed a poor reputation among its pilots, and the starfighter was said to move like a "sleepy Hutt”. Although slow for ship-to-ship combat, it was still capable of engaging other craft, and the Y-wing was excellent when used for planetary bombing runs.

==Flights==

The Warpigs are composed of three flights of four Y-Wings.

After handing in his resignation Finn purchased a small freighter with the aim of making his fortune as a legitimate business man. Life however has a funny way of changing plans. On a run from [[starwars:Coruscant|Coruscant]] to [[starwars:Sullust|Sullust]] his freighter was attacked by pirates who stole not just his cargo, but his entire ship. Leaving him floating in space in an escape pod he resigned himself to death when a squadron of fighters escorting a corvette exited hyperspace to make a course correction. Spotting the escape pod on their sensors they tractored the pod into the corvette’s hold saving his life. As the corvette and escort headed back to the port they called home Aren was introduced to the [[Kotahitanga-Unity Defense Force]] and the Jedi they served.
