Garik Burren

The life of Garik Burren is one that has been clouded in mystery and betrayal. From a young boy with dreams of being a Jedi to a powerful Dark Jedi, Garik was born on the second day of the seventh standard month in the year 2 BBY. He was born on the Outer Rim world of Les Doroth a marshy and temperate world scattered with native villages, settlements, and a few cities.

History

Early Life

Garik was born to survivors of the Jedi purge. Garik had a natural affinity for the force. He believed his parents to be the greatest of all Jedi. They, along with a Zebrak friend named Hakk Brum, began his training. Hakk, and expert weaponsmith and former ExplorCorp member, gave Garik a Katana and began training him in the art of sword fighting. His parents taught him the ways of the force. Garik quickly learned the path of the Jedi was brutal and aggressive.

One day after meditating, Garik returned home to find his parents murdered. Hakk quickly took the young orphan in and continued his training. It became evident that the instruction he had been receiving from birth was in the dark side. Garik, however, was too naive and thought he'd been training to become a Jedi.

The Shea-Maj

Since the purge, Hakk had become an Agent in the local crime syndicate of the system the Shea-Maj. Many people cheated him, double crossed him, and there were many attempts on his life. The young Garik became his tool in dealing with his enemies. It continued this way for 10 years. Hakk could sense his apprentices power. He started to plot his accension to the throne of the Shea-Maj. If anyone got in his way, Hakk would dispatch his apprentice to deal with them.

A Startling Discovery

At the age of 16 Garik discovered a recording in his masters quarters. The recording showed his parents, they weren't Jedi as he once believed, they were infact Dark Jedi! Garik felt his stomach sink as he watched further. He discovered his own master murderd his parents and the teachings he'd been receiving were that of the Dark Side! Garik felt betrayed. Stealing his masters YT-2000 transport, he fled to the world of Om Tisi, a desert world. There, in a self imposed exile, he attempted to redeem himself and study the ways of the lightside.

Anger, hatered, betrayal, and a passion for revenge kept him on the dark path.

The Return Home

At the age of 18 he returned to Les Doroth to seek revenge on his former master. Garik found much had changed in the two years he'd been away. Hakk Brum was no longer an agent of the Shea-Maj crime syndicate he was now the Prince! In addition, the Shea-Maj were now a dominant force in the Les Doroth system. After months of searching, he found Hakk and an intense swordfight took place. Sensing his former students power, Hakk fled. Garik searched for his former master but could not find him. Garik knew, he must again flee his homeworld.

The Bodega Conflict

The next 6 months were spent wandering from system to system and not more than a few days would go by where he'd meet Shea-Maj assassins or bounty hunters. Garik knew his time was short. While traveling through a sector known as Bodega he was met by the Imperial Class Star Destroyer Eliminator. The Captain of the Eliminator sensed the dark side in Garik and indoctrinated him into the Imperial Navy. Garik was to begin training as a fighter pilot.

Garik quickly learned the situation in Bodega was a bleak one with the New Republic. With a fleet of two Imperial Class Star Destroyers, one Victoy Class, and three Corvettes, the Imperial Remnant was in bad shape. The weaker New Republic Defense Force, was losing ground.

Garik's black modified Eta-2 Actis Interceptor

Shortly after his flight training, he was assigned to the elite Tau Squadron on the Eliminator flying a modified version of the Eta-2 Actis Interceptor. Within two years he had scored many kills, was promoted to Commander, and given command of Tau Squadron. During this time he had been training in secret with an Envoy of the Eliminator's Captain. Shortly after taking command of Tau, Garik was elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

The next year saw the dstruction of the NRDF. The Imperial Remnant Fleet was victorious. The Captain of the Eliminator ordered the remaining fleet to leave the system. Garik saw he was just a tool for the captain and made his plans to leave. While on patrol, he pulled back from his wingmates, opened fire destroying both of them, then punched his ship into hyperspace.
