"They call him Cobalt. A lone mercenary - one of the best - working for a defunct agency whose name he wears, waging a one-man war against the Imperium. Successfully."
Lord Byron
"Cobalt, the mercenary... We don't know his real name. Nobody does. But he has over a hundred dead Sith to his name. People like him - they were trained to kill people like us. If I were you, I'd head to the farthest edge of the Empire, find a nice, quiet, anonymous backwater village, and trade those Sith robes and titles for rags and a new name."

BASIC INFORMATION |
[FULL NAME] UNKNOWN[ALIAS] COBALT, JEKK FULBRIGHT[DATE OF BIRTH] UNKNOWN[SPECIES] HUMAN?[FACTION] ESCOBAR ENFORCEMENT?[RANK] UNKNOWN[GENDER] MALE[HEIGHT] 181[WEIGHT] 80[HAIR COLOR] BROWN[EYE COLOR] GRAY[LAST SEEN] KORRIBAN[STATUS] ALIVE[FORCE SENSITIVITY] CONFIRMED[THREAT ASSESSMENT] HIGH |
A former member of the Galactic Alliance's secret special operations/intelligence organization codenamed COBALT. Real name unknown; Cobalt is suspected to have spent time in the special operations organization before the fall of the Galactic Alliance. After the fall of Coruscant, he continued to serve with the Rebellion for a period.
However, a year after Coruscant, Cobalt went AWOL and became a mercenary with a PMC known as ESCOBAR Enforcement, though the nature of his work at this time is unknown. Currently he wages a one-man war against the Sith and the Galactic Imperium, with great success.
[ASSET SUMMARY]
Cobalt carries an AR-710 assault rifle in combat, a modified version of the assault rifle used by COBALT during its existence. The magnetically propelled bullets proved highly effective against force users. The weapon was modified, replacing its duraplast casing and durasteel barrel with a cortosis alloy to allow it to be used to defend against lightsabers at close range. This became known within the organization as the "COBALT rifle".
He also carries a Drumbeat Sonic Pistol as a sidearm, as in developing combat techniques against Force users, COBALT found sonic weaponry to be a reliable force multiplier that was difficult to defend against.
In addition, Cobalt carries a main sidearm in the form of the SFPM-23 Flachette Pistol, a handgun issued as the standard issue sidearm of COBALT operators due to its heavy stopping power. Like with sonic weaponry, the punch of the flachette rounds proved difficult to block by lightsabers, which made it an ideal sidearm for COBALT operators.
Lastly, Cobalt carries with him a karambit, a curved combat knife, forged from a Cortosis alloy. The Cortosis karambit was a standard issue combat knife for members of COBALT, as a last defense against lightsabers in combat. In truth it became a symbol of the members of the unit, and receiving your "COBALT knife" after finishing the Selection for the unit, became a revered symbolic event.
Cobalt also wears olive military fatigues, completed with a ballistic/tactical vest made from layered armorweave, which gives protection over his torso against blasters, bullets, and blade attacks. It also gives limited resistance and protection against lightsabers, though as a member of COBALT, Cobalt was trained to avoid lightsaber strikes rather than meet and parry or block them.
Cobalt also carries a wide array of other tactical options and tools, depending on the situation. The organization found COBALT found the B-Type Grenade to be highly useful against force users, and as such, Cobalt almost always have one or two wth him on a mission. Similarly, he carries grenade sized ABC scramblers for use against the same. Grenade sized spray cans containing OC ("pepper spray") or similar chemical agents are also part of his tactical toolbox.
As an emergency escape tool, Cobalt carries with him at all times, two power gems hidden in hollow teeth in his mouth. They are capable of disrupting shield and energy force fields, allowing for escape if he is ever captured.
[TACTICAL SUMMARY]
Cobalt is trained in most forms of military combat. He is specialized in urban warfare, and highly trained in small arms and hand-to-hand combat. He is trained in, and has served as an instructor in the by COBALT developed hand to hand combat fighting style known as the 03 Fighting Style, developed specifically to fight Force users.
As a former member of COBALT, he is trained in fighting Force sensitives, especially wielders of the Dark Side. He is also trained in the Force himself, though like all members of COBALT, he lives on the razor edge between the Dark and the Light Side. In combat, Cobalt prefers to rely on standard issue military equipment; assault rifles, handguns, explosives, and combat knives, rather than more esoteric weapons like lightsabers. The gap made between these weapons and the power of a lightsaber is made up for by his use of deceit, diversion and subterfuge.
[THE ORGANIZATION]
COBALT was a classified cosmic top secret intelligence/special operations organiziation of the Galactic Alliance's Intelligence community during the time of the Alliance-Imperial War. The unit carried out darker-than-black operations for the GA military and intelligence organizations.
Its members' identities were a closely guarded secret, and their past was destroyed upon acceptance into the unit. The secrecy was so great that even members of the Galactic Senate did not know of its existence, nor did most members of the Intelligence community and the GA Armed Forces.
COBALT unit patchBecause of the extreme dedication to secrecy and anonymity, members of COBALT became very skilled at erasing past identities, and adapting new ones, to the degree that to this day, even the legendary Imperial Ubiqtorate knows very little of the defunct organization, and even less of its supposed members.
During the war, one of COBALT's main objectives was to track down Sith lords and assassinate or capture them. They were also tasked with dealing with threats against all GA interests from the Dark Side of the Force. Because of this, each member was, while not a Jedi, either highly trained in fighting against Force sensitives, and/or in fact trained in the Force themselves. A lot of the members were also enhanced cybernetically, some even opting to replace fully functioning parts of their body with cybernetics to enhance their combat capabilities.
COBALT operators operated closely on occasion with select members of the Jedi Order, though their identities and unit were always kept a closely guarded secret to the Jedi. Often they posted as GA special operations forces or intelligence agents, though the most popular choice of cover for COBALT members were to pose as members of a non-existant PMC, ESCOBAR Enforcements.
The COBALT unit patch, a yellow crosshair, was awarded upon completion of the Selection Course, together with the COBALT karambit; however, the patch was rarely if ever actually worn, to avoid carrying anything that could lead to identifying the unit.
When the Alliance fell after the Battle of Coruscant, the unit COBALT went underground, its members scattering and disappearing.
