Early Life
Derek grew up in a very luxurious three story home on private land that was situated on the sparsely populated hilly plains near one of the oceans of Chandrila. His life was quite normal. He attended a public school not too far away and enjoyed playing outside and going down by the water to swim. HE also had a very close relationship with his grandfather. His Father, being a busy businessman, never neglected Derek but was often away on some sort of business. His mother was a doctor at a nearby hospital and was often had to leave for emergencies and spent the night at the hospital being one of the main doctor there. Derek's Grandmother, Ginny Cinn, was ill and rested most of the day. This left Griysin, Derek's grandfather, to practically raise him. He entertained Derek of the countless battles he had been in and the men he fought beside. What Derek found most intriguing were the Clone Troopers. He learned as much as he could about them and thought of them as legendary heroes. He could often be seen playing with an old Clone helmet he had found in the basement and wooden pistols yelling "TAKE THAT CLANKERS!" as he pretended to blast invisible battle droids.
On his seventh birthday, Derek had woken up to his grandfather shaking him awake. His gentle eyes glinted with the morning sun that glinted off his eyes giving them a dazzling light green color. Derek woke up and strode downstairs, holding his grandfather's hand to see his grandmother lying on the couch looking up at him and his mother and father cheering happy birthday as he strode toward them giving them a good morning hug. His parents had taken 2 weeks off to take Derek to Corscant to see the Clone memorial and other sights. Griysin brought out a small silver box with the Republic emblem engraved on the top. It had taken alot of convincing but Derek's parents finally approved of his gift. Derek opened the box and immediatly gave his grandfather a massive hug along with his signature smile. He looked at the battleworn DC-17s that lay crossed on black cloth. Griysin had removed the gas cartiridge and magazine so safety wouldn't be a concern.
After the celebration he had gone out to play with his new blaster. IT was normal as he played in the green fields behind the home with the ocean glimmering behind him. He suddenly stopped and took off the large helmet that bounced around on his head. He looked toward the house and could hear alot of commotion. curious as to what was going on Derek climbed up the hill going up to his house and scaled the Trellis that stood erect against the side of is home. he creeped up the roof and in through the opening window leading into his room. He quietly went outside to the top of the stairs and peaked around the corner just in time to see 4 wookies and 2 New Republic soldiers shove the large front door open tossing Derek's frail grandmother to the ground.
