| Laigerick Sithelhood was born to a noble Corellian family. His father, Durza Sithelhood, was steward to the Duke of Corellia. The Duke provided his advisor's family with great wealth, in exchage for Durza's life-long services. The Steward's home was located right outside of the Capitol City, about 3 miles away. Here, he was the Noble Lord of a small farming community, called ''Valincia,'' which was built around his home. When Laigerick was a small child, his father and mother, Yzmira, often doted over him, spending all they could to keep him happy, but as he grew older, he demanded more. One of the main treats his father got him, was combat training. He was trained in the ways of the blaster and wword by the best trainers on Corellia. By the age of seven, Laigerick was already a mildly skilled combatant. Laigerick also had a side-hobby that he spent most of his free time on, and that was strategy. He was nearly obsessed with commanding forces, and he always defeated his frineds in the game of "Holo-Strat." His father, seeing his talent, dreamed of the day when his son would lead the forces of Corellia, but these were soon crushed. Several days before his eighth birthday, awkward things started happening whenever Laigerick was near, like: pottery crushing for no apparent reason, power generators flickering on and off, and things flying through the air. His parents had no idea what was happening, but they would soon find out. On the day of his eighth birthday, a robed man approached the Sithelhood home. Durza, fearing the safety of his family, went outside to investigate. When Durza exited the house, the man sauntered up, and started talking to him. Laigerick watched carefully from his bedroom window. Finally, after half and hour of conversing, Durza led the robed man into his home. When Laigerick heard the door close behind them, he ran downstairs to see what was going on. His father was at the bottom of the staircase waiting for him, wearing a grim expression. Durza led his son over to the living room, and set him down in a chair across from the robed man, who was sitting on the couch. The robed man explained to Laigerick that he was a Jedi, and he was sent here to tell the young boy that he was a 'Force Sensitive,' meaning he could sense and harness the power of the Force. He told the youngster that he was to come with him, to Yavin IV, to train to become a Jedi, like him. The young Corellian was in shock, as was his family, but nonetheless, at the next dawn, he bed farewell to his parents, and left with the man for Yavin IV. | | Laigerick Sithelhood was born to a noble Corellian family.
