Jarion Renalds

Jarion Renalds is currently a Lieutenant within Epsilon Squadron, Wing I, Battlegroup X of the TIE Corps. He is also at present a Acolyte in the Dark Brotherhood.

Early History

Jarion was born in 0 ABY on Coruscant to a Mandalorian father and Coruscanti mother. His family was considered middle-class by the standards of the planet's living society and therefore Jarion had an average upbringing, being too young to understand galactic politics during the waining years of Palpatine's Empire. Despite this, as he developed through his childhood he took a keen interest in spacecraft, earning himself a part-time apprenticeship as a mechanic at a starport when he was sixteen.

Thankfully, his parents had enough credits and prestige and managed to enroll Jarion into an esteemed Naval Academy upon his eighteenth birthday. It was in this enviroment that Jarion really flourished, showing just how far his passion for military-grade spacecraft could go. He eventually graduated fourth of his class in 20 ABY and by the following year had earned himself a commission as a Lieutenant in the New Republic Defence Fleet, flying the famed X-Wing fighter.

New Republic Defense Fleet

Throughout the next four years Jarion was a very active pilot, being deployed to numerous locations around New Republic space and seeing his fair share of space combat. Most notably was with the Fifth Battle Group during the Battle of Fondor towards the start of the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was during this conflict that Jarion saw for himself how faults in the tactical and strategical aspects of the organisation had led to many unnecessary casualties amongst New Republic Forces.

As a result of this, Jarion immediately requested leave to visit his parents on Coruscant. He stayed with them for a couple of weeks and explained to them his lost faith in the military he was a part of. Motivated chiefly by his father, the young Coruscanti hijacked a shuttle and fled for Emperor's Hammer space, having heard that it had the strong naval presence he had been looking for.

TIE Corps

Instantly accepted into the esteemed TIE Corps as a recruit, Jarion went through through the recruitment process at a steady pace, eventually being promoted to Sub-Lieutenant and placed in Beta Squadron. His previous naval experience helped gain him a quick promotion to full Lieutenant, also shortly afterwards helping him gain a job with the Logistics Office.

Jarion later served as a Flight Leader in Epsilon Squadron for over a year, juggling leadership on the battlefield and stocking inventory and updating orders of battle for Vice Admiral Mark Schueler. He eventually decided to step back into a wingman role, now focusing on his duties to the Logistics Office whilst remaining in Epsilon.

Personal Life

Due to Jarion's Mandalorian heritage he often travelled to Mandalore during leave. It was here in 23 ABY that he met Dha'kalyc Dane Beviin during a night of heavy drinking on the streets of Keldabe. They both managed to find themselves in the middle of a cantina brawl and assisted each other in leaving relatively unscathed. They grew pretty inseperable over the following months whenever Jarion was off-duty and eventually married in a private ceremony on Mandallia.

It is through this union that he is related to an esteemed Mandalorian Protector and Dark Jedi, Kalon Tsucyra Entar.
