[edit] History
During the Galactic Civil War, the Azzameens had a contract with the Rebel Alliance to deliver bacta to one of the Alliance bases serving as a hospital for Rebels wounded on Hoth. During one trip, the Imperial Star Destroyer Corrupter arrived and attacked both the Alliance forces and the family vessels. In the aftermath of that battle the family was then declared traitors to the Empire and a warrant of caption was issued against them.
The family took what they could from their family base and escaped before the Imperials arrived and took control of their shipyards and their base. The Azzameens found refuge on-board the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Defiance. While the youngest son, Ace, enlisted with the Rebels as a fighter pilot, the rest of family concentrated on getting back at the Viraxo and rebuilding the company.
Their first act was to raid the Viraxo station where Anton Azzameen was being held and rescue their kin. Later Aeron recruited Ace to make a little run to pick-up a damaged probe droid in the Shalia Na system to help keep track of the Viraxo. After an attempted assassination of K'Armyn Viraxo that turned-out to be a trap they focus more on rebuilding the family business. They hit at least two Viraxo supply depots in the next couple months for cargo to sell to the Rebels. During the first raid they discovered that the Viraxo were doing some arms shipping for Black Sun and that lead to a quick strike against an Imperial Communications Station to plant a listening device on a satellite to better monitor the Viraxo-Black Sun alliance.
Their actions were not without risk however, Ace had to lead one raid to bust Emon out of Imperial Prison and later evade the guns of Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer to rescue Aeron from a Rebel/Tenloss Syndicate base in the Vergesso Asteroids about to fall to an Imperial assault. After the Rebellion came under attack from mercenaries claiming to be working for the Sullustans, Ace and Aeron were tasked with finding their base, as their freighters would draw less attention than an Alliance ship. They found the base (after a brief visit to an Imperial Test firing facility in the Carida system, courtesy of some altered nav logs) and it turned out to be their old home station. Now that it was personal the Alliance had no trouble recruiting Aeron and Emon to help them take the station and expose the mercenaries. During the battle Emon spotted Uncle Anton's personal ship fleeing the mercenary base.
They didn't have time to investigate their suspicions however; shortly after the battle Anton claimed to have information on Thomaas and Gaylin's fate: they had been captured by the Imperials at the Rebel hospital and sent to a space station orbiting Kessel. Ace slipped Aeron into the station to slice the records while Emon and Anton flew cover. After several minutes of searching revealed nothing Aeron was ready to get out before the Imps got wise to their intrusion, but Anton told her to keep looking. They soon learned why. An Imperial fleet appeared on the scene, led there by Antan who was actually an Imperial collaborator. However, the Azzameen kids managed to recover from their shock quickly enough to escape, with the help of Dunari, an old friend of their father's.
While Aeron and Emon had time to sit down and confront all that had just happened to them, Ace had to put off dealing with his shock and grief. The boy had a date with destiny in an out-of-the-way system named Endor...
