Shurtsneyrsk Disla is a Trandoshan in the service of the Naga Sadow Warhost Navy. He currently resides as the Weapons Officer aboard the VSDII Covenant. He is most commonly referred to as "Shirt" due to his long and difficult name.
Early Life
Born on Trandosha in 14 ABY, Shurtsneyrsk Disla was born from a brood of four other siblings. As per custom, the strongest usually murdered their siblings not too long once they hatched. Shurtsneyrsk was no different and quickly established himself as the dominant one. His parents were thrilled with his savagery and it was not long before he was taught the ways of hunting and initiated into the ranks of the Trandoshan warriors. His training began as soon as he turned three. Due to the short lifespan of the Trandoshan's compared to other sentient species this is only natural.
Shurtsneyrsk quickly stood out amongst his peers and proved once again that he was the dominant one of the pack. Having made many rivals in his younger years, it was to their great relief that he was sent out on a solo mission by the Elders of his tribe to hunt down a newly colonized planet that was rumored to house Wookies. Thrilled at having the chance to rack up an immeasurable amount of Jagannath Points and impress the Scorekeeper, Disla took to his new mission with intense ferocity. The last time he saw his parents was in early 19 ABY when he boarded a transport ship that would eventually lead him to Aeotheran. He remembers that last moment as one with pride, where he would meet his parents once again in the halls of the Scorekeeper and be reunited with honor.
Aeotheran
Shurtsneyrsk arrived on Aeotheran in late 19 ABY, after the end of the Seventh Great Jedi War. During his time aboard the transport ship he learned many things about weapons and developed fundamental skills of knowledge about other ships and their capacity. In order to pay for his passage, he was at first hired as a guard. Later when the Trandoshan had to switch ships in order to continue his journey, he offered his knowledge of weapons as compensation and was allowed to tweak the systems aboard to provide marginally better firepower. The Captain was thrilled with the minor boost and allowed the Trandoshan to operate of his own free will whilst aboard the ship. In the eight long months that it took him to finally reach Aeotheran, he had become a weapons expert inside out. Shurtsneyrsk viewed this as training to better hunt and track Wookies, and thought little else of offering his services in such a fashion.
Upon entering the Orian System it was clear that the forces that patrolled this area had undergone extensive warfare. Many of the ships showed visible damage, some being repaired on the spot for lack of power to make their last leg home. This had no real impact on the Trandoshan, as his only objective was to make it to Aeotheran first and begin his hunt. Once his ship had finally landed in the city of Seng Karash, he felt a sense of displacement for the first time. Nothing smelled or looked familiar, and he stood out like a sore thumb. A brief sense of homesickness washed over the young warrior, before he pushed the feeling down and made his way down to the market area to start his search for the gear he would need to hunt down the Wookies.
Wookie Colony
Within months on arrival, the Trandoshan had purchased his gear and taken a shuttle to Sepros, where he had confirmation of a hidden Wookie colony deep within its jungles. Aeotheran had not housed any Wookies, much to the frustration of Shurtsneyrsk Disla. However, he had been tipped off that they were instead on Sepros, the power seat of Clan Naga Sadow. Supposedly the Clan had control of the Orian System but was still building and rebuilding throughout the system in 22 ABY. Throughout the next 5 years the Trandoshan would live in the forests of Sepros, hunting and occasionally killing a few Wookies when he was successful. Because he was alone, he had to pick his targets carefully, set his ambushes and traps with caution and move quickly once he had killed one.
However after a few years of hunting, the Wookies struck back and forced the Trandoshan to retreat from them. The hunter had become the hunted, and Shurtsneyrsk did not like the idea at all. Once he was driven out of the forests by the remaining Wookies, he felt shamed and realized that he had failed in his quest. His life was now worth nothing in the eyes of the Scorekeeper.
