HistoryEdit

An In charaacter history from the Star Wars Combine

Born Avid Rakal Yacobinsky, his family was owner of one of the great aftermarket ship outfitting companies in the galaxy. His Grandfather and his sons were the best mechanics and pilots on Dathomir. The family firm profitted greatly from their skills, but side business kept them afloat. But because of some shady deals for parts and weapons thru Rebel sympathizers, the Empire stepped in and took all assests of the company.

Because they feared that they would lose thier money and get blacklisted as pilots, Avid's parents, Hiram Yacobinsky and Trishyana Soyak-Yacobinsky(sister to Ariana Soyak, Venix' and Navik's mother), dropped half thier name and moved the three of thier family. Acquiring some fake IDs and taking a job with a small subsidary of the Shipbuilding Yards at Sluis Van.

After a few years, Avid got a job as test pilot for some of the frieghters and fighters, and worked closely with his father. They became the "Daring Duo" by way of thier testing manuevers. The Imperial Security Bureau soon took interest in this and investigated the Yaco's family history.

One day after a thrilling test run of some Assualt shuttles, Hiram and Avid entered thier home quarters and saw six stormtroopers, Trishyana on the couch in stun cuffs crying, and a highly decorated officer. They took Hiram immediately, placing cuffs on him too and reading him his rights, while another pair of stormtroopers took Avid from behind and dragged him outside. Another officer waited outside with Avid, telling him of what his parents had done and what the consequences were. Avid was shocked by what the man has told him, not knowing that most of the story was propaganda and lie. The officer exagerated the material deals they had in the past as treason. Hiram and Trishyana were moved to a detention center, while Avid was taken in as a Ward of the state.

As soon as he was old enough, they transfered him to Berchest, and started him off in the Imperial Academy. Avid Yaco graduated with flying colors, and an aire of Imperial pride. Avid kept his name, but has disavoyed any existence of his parents. It had been 4 years since they were imprisoned. Thier term was up, and the letters had reached him from thier new home on Tatooine. Avid threw the flimsies into a box in his quarters. He didnt have time for non-citizens of the Empire.

Avid was now part of the Imperial Armed Forces, 5th Army- 1st Battalion, the Infernos. He liked it here, or atleast told himself this. He drilled on planets in the Fakir sector and aboard the many Imperial Navy ships lining the sector. It was tediuos but duty. After a while, Avid started to forget about his duty and read the letters from his parents. He felt an uprising heat in his chest lately when reading, and his eyes became blurry.

After a few months with the Imperial Army, Avid noticed that the aching in his chest was something not known to the others in his platoon. The blurring vision wasnt a stigma in hes eyes. It was his heart and tears that was affecting him. He had to see his parents, and put in a chit with his CO for leave time to Tatooine. When he was told no, Avid asked why, only to find out that a "rebel uprising' had occured there. Many were killed, and Avid soon learned that some of the supposed 'rebels' were his own parents.

Avid contacted some friends outside the Empire, including some Rebel Alliance personel. Avid was done with the Empire and their tyrannical ways and was ready to leave, just that it might be a hard thing to do. Many of his comanders knew about his past, and the fate of his parents, so he was kept on close watch. Just before Vir Calder took over as Moff of the sector, Avid booked passage under a false name, and left for Tatooine. His defection left unanswered questions for the imperials. Avid fled to Republic space when some gaurds at the Tatooine Imperial Outpost noticed his false documents. He immediatly joined the Rebel Alliance, in hopes of changing the future of the galaxy.

He started flying again. He was a JM-5000 pilot at Republica for a few months, going through academy training. Excelling at this, he then was invited into the Center for Republic Inteligence. He trained thoroughly and yet, the RA did nothing against the Empire. They rallied, mustered, and manuevered throughout the galaxy, but nothing was ever done. Allthough most Rebel activity must be kept quiet and secure, Avid got tired and wanted to do something about his parents death. After only a few months as a SFC Flight Officer/CRI Intel Agent, he left the RA. Not as abruptly as his defection from the Empire, the Rebels always would have a place for him.

He used what money he had and bought a old, used YT-2400 and became a freelance pilot. For a while he jumped from system to system, looking for something, trading ships, so as not to be found by Imperial ISB. Finally at a bar at Dathomir, his father's home planet, he ran into a Arconian, Kyel Veridas, who talked to him about many different jobs he can go to. One in particular interested him. The Wraiths.

Mercenary jobs weren't his thing, but these guys had a reputation other than being blood thirsty. They weren't pirates so Avid gave it a shot. Plus, Venix Soyak and his brother Navik ikron were there, and they were family. Cousins from his mother's side. He knew the best thing to do was stay with family. He's been here ever since. With the additions of the Czerka Corp, Rendilli Stardrives, and the formation of the new government, Avance Coalition, the work has kept his mind at ease and filled with thoughts of the future. Knowing that what he could not do in the past to save his parents, he put aside petty vengence. Self loathing wasn't in his job description. He was a Wraith, and respected member of the SRE. Changing his name to avoid security at various spaceports and planets, he took his mother's maiden name. Avid Soyak, Lord Praetor of the Wraiths.

After being told that Jedi Master Thragg Craghorn, friend and fellow Wraith, was to be in the Endor System for Force sensitvity testing, Avid thought he would take a gander. It wouldnt hurt to get tested himmself he thought. Watching the others enter and exit the room, watching there expressions was fasanating. It was soon Avid's turn and he entered the room. Dark, lit only by a few candles in the far end, and the aura of the Jedi Master. A tingling crept into his consciousness and almost at once he could feel something from the Gand. He allready knew what the Jedi Master would say as he rose. He inclined his head, set himself tall, and inhaled sharply as Thragg told him he had a high potential in the Force. He knew that his great uncle Kjo Soyak was a Jedi, brought down by a sith on Corellia many years ago. This was the time the Soyak's would fight back.

Now a new day dawns, not just for Wraith/Jedi Avid Rakal Soyak-Yacobinsky, but for the Jedi Order, and the good sentients of the galaxy...
