Armon Ferro

Lieutenant Commander Armon Ferro is a pilot of the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps assigned to Wing XII aboard the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser 90 'Renegade'. As part of Eagle Squadron, Ferro typically pilots a T-65b X-wing starfighter, which he has affectionately named 'Marengo' after a hill found on his home planet of Abregado-rae.

Biography

Armon Ferro was born six years after the Battle of Yavin on Abregado-rae, the son of saloonkeeper Gabrel Ferro; he never knew his mother, although Armon often refers to her as "a booze-soaked call girl from the parts of the spaceport even the thugs don't venture in to". During his childhood, Armon and his older half-sister Adelle were often left unsupervised while their father managed the saloon, and both grew to resent their father, although for different reasons: Adelle, being an idealistic poetic type, felt abandoned and un-nurtured by Gabrel, and sought freedom and adventure; Armon, by contrast, came to detest his father's immoral and disreputable ways.

When Armon was 11 years of age, his sister secretly left Abregado without telling anybody - even her younger brother, who had been her closest friend and confidant. Armon regarded this as a painful betrayal, and his bitterness towards his father - whom he blamed for Adelle's sudden disappearance - only increased. As soon as he was able, he signed on with a trading company running the Rimma Trade Route from Abregado to Kal'Shebbol; it was poorly paid in comparison to many of the other less legal opportunities that flourished in the notoriously lawless Abregadoe-rae Spaceport, but Armon refused to get involved in the sorts of corruption he felt his father had fallen into. During his voyages through the Galaxy, he heard many stories of the nascent New Republic and came to idealise it in his mind as a bastion of justice and truth, but as he had more and more encounters with the Republic his political views became ever more polarised against this corrupt and permissive government. Learning of an Imperial remnant under the command of a talented and industrious warlord, he quickly signed on with the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet where he quickly distinguished himself as a 'formidable bird of prey', becoming noted as a 'true herop of the Battle at G5406' during the Defence of the Tkon Rift campaign.
