JetMech

From Emperor's Hammer Encyclopaedia Imperia


JetMech is a Major with the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps. He currently serves as the Flight Leader for Flight 3 of Theta Squadron.

Early Life

Childhood

JetMech was born to a family of mechanics on Nar Shaddaa. His parents ran a repair shop that fixed everything from small personal speeders all the way up to freighters. Very often their clientele was what could be expected of Nar Shaddaa; smugglers, pirates and general ne'er do wells. He learned the ins and outs of fixing things from an early age.

Adolescence

Growing up on the streets of Nar Shaddaa didn't come without its share of issues. Swoop gangs were a part of life and run-ins weren't uncommon. JetMech was competent with a blaster by the age of 15, but managed to stay mostly out of trouble. It was dealing with these gangs as well as the regular customers of his parent's shop that taught him how to handle himself as well as a mastery of Huttese.

Adulthood

The Enlisted Years

Once JetMech had reached adulthood, he longed to get off his home planet and see the galaxy. He signed on with the Emperor's Hammer TIE Corps as a mechanic to employ his skills working on TIE's. As he worked and learned the ins and outs of these craft, he eventually got the opportunity to apply as a pilot with the academy. Doing so allowed him to step out of the grease pit and into the cockpit.

Flying for the TIE Corps

JetMech began his flying career as a pilot with Rho Squadron and helped carry them to victory during Raise the Flag in 2020. Shortly thereafter his home life caught up with him and he had to return to assist his parents with some issues in the shop. He returned shortly after to fly a TIE Bomber for Sigma Squadron before being called back home again. In the last year JetMech returned to flying with Kappa, and then onto service as the Squadron Executive Offcer with Sigma upon its recommissioning. He would later serve as the Squadron Commander for Sigma.

Present Day

Admiralty and a Return to the Cockpit

For a period of time, JetMech had the privilege of serving the pilots of Battlegroup II as their Battlegroup Commander. Shortly into his tenure, some issues with a gang on Nar Shaddaa called his attention back home. Stepping out of this role and into the role of the Flight Leader for Theta has allowed him to serve the TIE Corps while also allowing him the opportunity to handle the thugs and lowlifes at home.

Flight Leader with Theta

JetMech now serves as the Flight Leader for Flight 3 in Theta Squadron aboard the ISDII Warrior.
