Reb Qel-Droma (born as Reb Crush) is a Jedi Knight and former padawan of Michael Halcyon, whom he is suspected to be currently aiding to rebuild the Jedi Order.

Character History

Early Years

Born during the tumultuous times of the Galactic Civil War, Reb was the son of Chan Crush, a civil servant in the Corellian Government, and Sally Davish, a nurse at Coronet Medical Central. Living in the relatively quiet of a Coronet suburb they were a happy family, until the bombing of the 17th district governmental building in 11 ABY. Both Sally and Chan were killed, leaving Reb an orphan. Although placed in a government orphanage he ran away several times; considered a problem case he was then put into a foster-family. During these years he often helped his adoptive father, a mechanic, repair ships at Coronet Spaceport, revealing a talent for fixing devices.

Ultimately, however, Reb desired to leave the place of his troubled childhood. He stowed away on one of the ships he had been repairing, which turned out to be bound to the Aurora system in Emperor's Hammer territory. There he joined the TIE Corps, dreaming of becoming a famous pilot and desiring to avenge his parents, believing the bombing to have been a New Republic operation.

Imperial Navy

After completing training in 16 ABY, Reb was assigned to Kappa squadron, which was primarily tasked with escort duties. There he saw quite some action and proved to be a capable, if no exceptional, pilot. Though initially driven by revenge, killing nameless Rebel pilots gave little satisfaction to Reb and as his view of the galaxy expanded, he began to doubt the circumstances surrounding his parents death. After two tours of duty he tired of the endless killing as a fighter pilot and he decided to take up his old profession of tinkering with starships and join the engineering corps. This proved to be an excellent opportunity for Reb to display his talents and quickly rose in the ranks, ultimately reaching the rank of Vice-Admiral. More importantly, however, he finally had found a place where he belonged and was quite happy.

Dark Brotherhood

Life took an unexpected turn when a strange man in a chance encounter mentioned to Reb that he might be sensitive to the Force. Though initially disregarding the remark as the rambling of a madman, it did spark the young man's curiosity. He ultimately decided there was but one way to find out: to enroll in the Dark Brotherhood. Much to his surprise, Reb did indeed seem to be attuned to the Force and was accepted into House Cestus of Clan Tarentum. This was where he met Michael Halcyon.

For some reason, Reb felt drawn to the charismatic and powerful Jedi and asked whether he would take him as his apprentice. This, however, presented Halcyon with a dilemma, as another House member, Zekk, also desired to learn from him. Rather than picking favourites, he let would the Force and skill decide: both apprentices-to-be were to face-off in a lightsaber duel. Despite having far less training than his opponent, Reb managed to best Zekk in a gruelling fight. Still not pleased, Halcyon then dared Reb to duel him. Again he fought valiantly and managed to sufficiently impress the older Jedi. Michael Halcyon would take Reb as his apprentice, but there was one catch: he would be trained in the light side of the Force. Though initially surprised, he knew it was the right thing to do and thus became Michael Halcyon's first padawan learner. Under his guidance, Reb's grasp of the Force quickly grew.
