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.

Biography[edit]

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 and sensitive soul, 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 escaped Abregado, yearning to fulfil her poetic yearnings away from her quotidian existence as a saloon rat. Armon regarded this as a painful betrayal, and his bitterness towards his father - whom he blamed for Adelle's 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; during his travels, he came to realise that Abregado was not a uniquely corrupt and lawless planet, but that the so-called New Republic was already falling into decadence and corruption and was unable to impose any sort of order on the galaxy.

Learning of an Imperial remnant under the command of a talented and industrious warlord, he signed on with the Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet where he quickly distinguished himself as a 'formidable bird of prey'. Shortly after his enlistment, Eagle Squadron along with the rest of the Strike Fleet were despatched to the Unknown Regions to aid the Chiss Ascendancy in their fight against the Kilji Illumine; Ferro saw action multiple times during the Defence of the Tkon Rift, earning the commendation of Vice Admiral Locke Setzer as a 'true hero of the Battle at G5406'. Suffering from traumatic decompression during one of the final sorties of the campaign, Ferro's wounds resulted in a lengthy recovery period outside the cockpit - during this time he was appointed Assistant Training Officer, recognising his attainment at the Imperial University and proven leadership skills.
