Yeldarb Vohokou is a member of Clan Scholae Palatinae.
History
Iridonia
The Beginning
Yeldarb was born in late 5 ABY, on the planet Iridonia, in a small clan village. The memories that still remain are happy and cheerful despite the difficult environment that surrounded him. Yeldarb's family was middle class, they made enough to pay the bills and have a few luxuries. They owned and operated a struggling shipping business. The biggest problem was all the big money in shipping came from illegal transportation, which Yeldarb's family refused to take part in. They believed in the Empire and hoped that it would rise to power again. This all resulted in hard times, but they made it and always had food to eat. Vohokou Shipping operates mostly in the mid to outer rim areas.
A New Path
In 19 ABY at the age of 14 Yeldarb started assisting his father Ukbar Vohokou in flying ships for the family company, Vohokou Shipping and Receiving. He started on smaller transports like the Corellian YT-1300 hauling simple cargo such as food stocks, and the occasional mineral deposits. He eventually worked hid way up to the Corellian YT-2400 carrying more expensive cargo ranging from luxury goods, people, and rare minerals. For Yeldarbs 18th birthday his father presented him with his very first ship that he still owns to this day it is a highly modified YT-2400 called the Final Resolution.
The Interceptor Yeldarb flew in the Inquisition
Finding Darkness
Due to his pilot upbringing and being a loyal subject of the fallen Empire, Yeldarb just felt it natural to serve using the best talent that he knew of and that was piloting. He joined the remenants of the Imperial Navy and graduated near the top of his class and was assigned duties flying a Tie Fighter. Showing great promise he was quickly upgraded to the Tie Interceptor. after about two year in the pilot seat there he was recruited by the Imperial Inquisition. Yeldarbs first, and sadly, last assignment with them was to infiltrate the newly reformed Republic lines and destroy vital supplies. Even though he had a knack at being able to perceive things prior to them happening it did not help him stop the ambush that laid in wait. Knowing the displeasure that his commanders would have with him, he voluntarily resigned his commission and left the service. Displeased with what had happened, but curious about his abilities he sought out knowledge on why he was able to perceive things ahead of time. Countless hours reading and talking to scholars he was informed that he possibly possessed the ability to wield the Force. This all lead him to more questions. With each new answer he received he was drawn ever closer to the Dark Jedi Order.
A days training in the combat hall
The Power Of The Dark Side
Upon arriving at the halls of the great Brotherhood Yeldarb was quickly noticed and sent immediately to take a test at a school called the Shadow Academy. There he tore through much of the course material scoring very high marks And was officially accepted into the brotherhood. He was assigned to Clan Scholae Palatinae. After meeting with the clan summit they assigned him even further to House Acclivis Draco, where he met Cuchalain the house Rollmaster who quickly assigned him a few tasks to help himself along with understanding that dark arts of the force. Yeldarb was sent to take more classes from the Shadow Academy where he was always scoring above average. Yeldarb soon realized books alone would not be enough to crave his appetite for knowledge and power so he was ordered into some hands on competitions against the other clan member of Scholae Palatinae where he performed above expectation. Soon after he was competing against other Clans for battlefield dominance.
Yeldarb was not evil, he just agreed more with what was being taught to him about the Dark Side over anything he knew of the Light Side. Growing up in the clan society of the Zabraks, physical competition was nearly a daily event, and Yeldarb thought that in order to be strong he could not be held back by the reserved mindset of the Jedi Code.
Noticing a strong will and a decent tie to the force, Yeldarb was nearly forced into apprenticeship from his Master Lucien, who shared a desire to learn, and to teach everyone around him about the ways of the force.
The 8th Great Jedi War
Yeldarbs first official task under his new master was an act of diversion to allow Lucien ahead of the line privileges during the beginning of the 7th Great Jedi War. Having the brains of a typical Obelisk Yeldarb stormed down the halls screaming at the top of his lungs which ultimately ended up in a successful mission. Yeldarb did like all other Dark Jedi did and went off to war against the Vong. He really did not have very much impact in combat due to still being unqualified to wield a real light saber and his hands alone were not nearly capable of defeating these foes. Finally the war had ended and Yeldarb was promoted to Jedi Hunter and sent to work on his knighthood. What he took with him from the war into his search to build himself a light saber was anger, frustration, along with confidence, and lastly punctuality. Yeldarb was finally able to get himself to places on time. Sure he struggle every now and again but who doesn't. Yeldarb still wishes to be able to test himself in close combat, and having missed his chance in the war he promised himself not to miss that chance again.
Induction to the Order
Impetus had often kept a close eye on Yeldarb, and could tell there was something special about this young Journeyman. After word spread to the House summit, RevengeX started paying closer attention, and realized a great potential in Yeldarb. Realizing his talent with weapons, and his knowledge of how to employ them properly on a battle field, there was no time wasted in assigning him into the Order of the Dragon. Yeldarb was tasked with building up an armory, taking an accurate inventory, and all future additions to the weapon stocks. Additional time outside of the battlefield, Yeldarb was authorized to build his own devices as he saw fit. Using the assistance of his wife Meggon, they modified many easily available weapons and turned them into something better. Meggon was a expert with electronics, and explosives, while Yeldarb had a superb ability with Melee weapons. After Meggon would soup up a blaster Impetus's husband Ararin would give them a test fire, as he excelled with laser weaponry.
After getting the Armory into a state of readiness, Yeldarb was officially named the Fang of Swords, and assignments dealing with teaching combat techniques soon started. As the Weapon Master of the order, it was his job to whip the Krath, and Sith members into shape to survive ground combat, as starfighters, and books do not win wars by themselces.
Aftermath
Though Clan Scholae Palatinae was ordered into retreat, some Dark Jedi remained behind to take back their home system. After long and dangerous battles, the tides were turned when the Clan was able to capture 3 Shapers. We started to push the Vong back and slowely took one planet after the next. Soon all that remained of our enemy with just a small battalion sized population that would surrender under our might, and agree to provide us with technologies, and assistance whenever we desired. Yeldarb was proud of this victory as he was able to get his blade bloody this time around. Much to his surprise he would be sent out on a mission to craft his very own lightsaber, and would no longer have to worry about cleaning the blood off the cold steel of his katana.
Knight Trials
Upon the end of hostilities, Lucien demanded to see Yeldarb in his office. Showing up dirty, Yeldarb was ordered to grab a data pad on the edge of the ProConsuls desk and start reading. A strange face appeared on the Zabrak when he noticed it contained the schematics and supply list for a lightsaber.
Lucien smiled and hurried the young apprentice out to a shuttle waiting for them both. The journey would soon land them in hostile territy, where the due was to retrieve some durasteele. Pirates had infiltrated a city on the southern part of Antenora where a factory storing massive ammounts of the material was located. Able to sneak in silently Yeldarb though that the mission would be an easy success. Soon he was spotted, and Master and Apprentice, were forced to flee with cargo in hand.
Back at the shuttle Yeldarb hopped into the pilots seat and the two disappeared into the atmosphere just as quickly as they had came. Now with material to be able construct all of the outer hilt, the only things left to scrounge up were the internal components, and a power source.
