History
Early Life on Corellia
Allan is a proud man from a small settlement on Corellia, not much is known about his original family, but he was raised by a middle-class family who taught him how to build things on his own. He has specialized in making weapons, as well as a series of other things, including repairing or helping build starships and droids. He took these lessons on building starships in his small colony's piloting facilities. He managed to scrap together an aged Dynamic-class freighter he found crashed somewhere in the nearby surrounding lush forests. It wasn't in perfect condition so he had to spend some credits to acquire replacement parts for the unimpressive starship. Upon completing his project, he took flight classes at the same facility and was considered a natural at flying. He was also fond of watching swoop races and repairing swoop bikes when he was on Corellia, he still enjoys watching and betting on the occasional race.
Life After Leaving Corellia
At the age of 16, Allan was ready to leave his past behind in search of adventure and credits. Travelling along the borders of Wild Space, he happened across an honest living in a swoop bike repair shop. For three months, he studied the bikes, learning how to assemble and repair them until he was able to work on them without much planning. As enthusiastic as he was about swoop bikes, he learned to pilot the dangerous craft through narrow streets and alleys. Offered an opening in a swoop race by a well-known sponsor, he enthusiastically accepted. The sponsor was a company owned by a wealthy Hutt. Trained by the best known racers at the time, he was able to navigate the dangerous courses in record time. The competition was decimated as he swiftly rose through the leaderboards.
A year later, his sponsor had fallen into the ground. The Hutt that controlled its funding had been eliminated by his rival, and Allan was forced to quit. A former contact of his had extended an invitation from an underground, highly illegal swoop gang. For months, he considered the offer, but it wasn't until he had amassed a pile of debts that he joined the shady group. Rapidly, the business had grown more dangerous off the course than on it. Rival swoop gangs had despised losing their credits to the competition, in addition to the weight their name carried. Armed guards and wild shootouts had become a common occurance, forcing the Corellian to learn his way around a blaster. The increased pay of such an illegal operation provided some small incentive, but the life expectancy wasn't great in his position.
After losing a match due to a rigged racetrack and illegal modifications on the opposing swoop bike, Allan found himself tossed into a firefight against twice his numbers. He managed to kill two of the opposing gang's members before losing his arm to the blade of a vibrosword and taken to a greedy Hutt. The Hutt - in attempt to be merciful - offered the former swoop bike racer an opportunity to clear the debt placed on him for rigging the course, a crime he didn't commit. Assigned the unwanted help of a small gang of brutes - mynock-brained lackeys of their Hutt master, he used his personal ship to transport illegal and dangerous cargo across the galaxy.
The racer-turned-smuggler made a name for himself in the form of bounties in five different systems. He acquired an unshakable addiction to the spice he transported on a regular basis. When the appointed 'help' offered to him reported his behavior to their Hutt master, the Hutt had used additional packets of spice as an added incentive to the safe delivery of the cargo. One of his crewmen - a human by the name of Dagger - whether that was his real name or not had turned out to be working for the Rebel Alliance. When the man had offered to recruit the former swoop racer, Allan had initially declined. However, when his cargo had shifted to slave transportation, he became conflicted in his morals. The smuggler accepted the Rebel's offer when he was forced to transport a terrified Twi'lek slave to a distant planet in the Outer Rim. With the help of his latest partner, those loyal to his Hutt master were marooned on a backwater planet after the biggest of them - a Gamorrean took a blaster bolt to his cranium. The Twi'lek had been freed once the freighter had docked within a hidden Rebel base.
Shown the true face of the Galactic Empire, Allan had shifted his priorities to the transportation of cargo that hadn't conficted with the Corellian's morals with Dagger serving as his copilot. Over the next few months up until the Empire's collapse, his addiction to spice had disappeared. Once the Empire was destroyed, he retained a number of his smuggler and rebel contacts, eventually seeking shelter on New Tython.
