History
Early Life
Ike Danakar spent most of his early life travelling around the Galaxy on his parent's transport. Life in the cold reaches of space didn’t bother him; he liked looking out the windows at the stars and planets that he passed. Even as a child, he loved exploring new places and seeing new things. Every planet the transport stopped off at was another adventure from him. He would hear stories of wonderful things driving forward his thrust for the unknown. When the ship was in space, he spent days on end trawling over star maps and system maps until he could name a vast majority of them.
When he hit eighteen, Ike left his parents on Coruscant. After watching their transport leave from the spaceport, he set out to make a new life for himself. He worked privately as a guide taking rich travelers to their destinations. As Ike earned more money, he began to look into buying his own transport. However, he was given a better offer. When a mysterious person paid for his services, he told Ike that he had a talent and it shouldn’t go to waste. With the money he saved, Ike signed up with the Imperial Navy under the Intelligence Core. Danakar showed a knowledge of systems and planets that surpassed a great deal of his peers which gave him a natural advantage.
Back to Work
When he reached the rank of Navigation Officer, Ike Danakar was in his thirties. With the disbanding of the Imperial Navy, he turned back to the thing that he knew best. He reopened his small business and once again began saving the money for his own transport ship. After a few years passed, Ike bought his transport. While he ferrying a strange couple to the Dajorra system to a planet called Arconae Primus, he learned of the Arcona Expeditionary Force, he looked into them, putting his name forward to sign up. He knew that due to his time outside of the Imperial Navy that the chances of him being accepted were low but he still hoped for the best. But due to his amazing knowledge of planets and systems he was accepted almost as soon as he signed up. He was sent to serve aboard the BAC Darkest Night.
