Biography

Maston was born during the time of the Republic on Dorin but only lived there a short time. He had little to no interest in the political dealings of the Galaxy, so he spent his younger years circumventing it where he could. Opting instead to fly a small cargo ship he would contract out, mostly for passengers in the Outer Rim, but occasionally smuggling when passenger fares were hard to come by. He had a refurbished HWK-290 light freighter and when times were tough it was an easy haul to move some spice from one system to the next.

While making smuggling runs into the Core worlds for the Son-tuul Pride syndicate during the early months of the Clone Wars, Maston came to hate the Republic. He found the use of Clone Troopers abhorrent, feeling that they were essentially slaves rebranded as heroes. During one smuggling run from Oba Diah to Keeara Major, Maston stopped at Harrin to refuel his freighter. He witnessed a battle between Separatist battle droids and a company of Clone Troopers led by a Togruta Jedi. The planet was blockaded by a Separatist fleet and Maston was prevented from leaving by the Clone Troopers. Eventually, he was allowed to leave and, with some creative navigating, managed to still make his spice delivery on time.

After a trip to Coruscant where he witnessed the corruption of the Republic firsthand, Maston made his way to Separatist space and offered his services to their cause. He ended up working for a relief program, flying food and supplies to war-torn planets.

Eventually, Maston found his way to the Emperor's Hammer and enlisted in the TIE Corps as a starfighter pilot.
