A LITTLE STORY

Interviewer:Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to speak with us, Commander.

Kylis: (laughter) What busy schedule?

I: I would think that helping lead the Rebellion would be far to taxing to allow for this time.

K: (laughter) I think you misunderstand what the Rebellion actually does.

I:Then enlighten me and my listeners, if you would.

K:
tumblr_meqdycAF3p1qfy2kdo1_500.gif


-Silence-

K: (laughter) I see that I had you there for a moment. Yes, the Rebellion does take up the vast majority of my time. Rescuing damsels in distress and reminding the galaxy that the Imperium isn't invulnerable is hard work, after all.

I: So, Commander, tell me about yourself. Where are you from? How was your childhood? Do you have any romantic interests?

K: So you want the whole thing? Fine. I'm originally from Coruscant, though I grew up on Corellia. My father and mother ran a local contract-engineering company, which my brother Svein and I quickly grew into. The four of us worked for years building and testing things for the CEC before the war started. Needless to say, I joined up with the Galactic Alliance Navy and the rest is public record, I think.

I: Well, most of it is. There's a big question about what actually happened to you on Manaan. Some say you went in and never came back out. What would you say to that, Commander?

K: I'd say this interview is over.

APPEARANCE

giphy.gif
When in a public setting, the Rebel Commander usually adopts his persona as a business playboy, sporting tailored suits and expensive wigs or hair alterations. He may be armed like this, but it's not a constant fact. His eye-color is routinely altered as well with contacts.
tumblr_mmujfbuqt21s4w73so1_500.gif
When readied for combat, Kylis usually sports his natural short dark hair and wears his body armor about as casually as possible. That said, he's always quite well-armed and more that ready to use them.
PERSONALITY

  • Endearingly Irritating
    Kylis' humor is rather dry and sarcastic. Naturally, this can be rather off-putting to those unused to him, yet strangely comforting to those who know him.​
  • Let's Get Down to Business
    Kylis can be all fun and games until it's game-time. It is then that his skills as a natural leader and soldier come into play.​
  • I'm Only A Part-Time Genius
    Though the latter half of his life has been dedicated to fighting the Imperium and their Sith masters, he's still an extremely talented engineer and mechanic with a rather impressive aptitude for business and finance.​
  • Behind the Smile Lurk the Demons
    Some hypothesize that Kylis uses a mixture of his humor and intellect to hide and bury his intense anger and sadness from his past. They just don't know how right they are.​
  • Fake It Until You Make It
    Though his skill is admirable, Kylis still has moments of doubt and anxiety which he covers through blustering and humor.

[PERSONALITY]
__KYLIS HOLDS WITHIN HIMSELF TWO KEY TRAITS.

FIRST IS HIS BRILLIANCE. HE'S NOT ONLY A TACTICAL GENIUS, BUT ALSO HAS ROUTINELY DEFIED CONVENTIONAL ENGINEERING SCIENCE TO PERFORM AMAZING TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS.

SECOND IS HIS NATURAL LEADING ABILITIES. KYLIS HAS LEAD GROUND AND NAVAL OPERATIONS WITH SURPRISING SUCCESS IN SPITE OF THE ODDS IN TYPICAL CORELLIAN FASHION. HIS STRATEGIES ARE A BIT STRANGE AT TIMES, BUT NONE QUESTION HIS RESULTS.

THAT SAID, KYLIS ALSO HOLDS TWO KEY FAULTS.

FIRST IS HIS CYNICISM. IT BELIES A STATE OF DEPRESSION AT TIMES, AND KYLIS ONLY BARELY HANGS ON TO HOPE BY A THREAD. ANY REAL FAILURE COULD OFFSET THIS.

SECOND IS HIS FEAR OF LOSS. KYLIS REFUSES TO LOSE ENGAGEMENTS, WHILE ALSO REFUSING TO LOSE SOLDIERS. SOME SAY HE'S TOO IDEALISTIC FOR COMMAND, AND THOUGH KYLIS WILL NOT HESITATE TO DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, HE HAS ROUTINELY PLACED HIMSELF IN HARM'S WAY TO SAVE OTHERS.

FOLLOWING THE RETREAT FROM CORUSCANT, KYLIS AND TWO OTHER CAPTAINS JOINED TOGETHER INTO A SMALL TACTICAL SQUADRON OF HEROIC-CLASS STAR DESTROYERS. THEY FOUGHT AT MULTIPLE SKIRMISHES AND BATTLES AS A SINGLE UNIT CALLED RISENFEL'S HEROES, BUT WERE LATER SEPARATED DURING THE EARLY STAGES OF THE SIEGE OF MANAAN. THE TRIO LATER REGROUPED, AND PERFORMED MULTIPLE HOLDING OPERATIONS JOINTLY WITH GROUND CREWS. THE SHIP CAPTAINS LATER FAKED THE DEATHS OF THEIR SHIPS, ALLOWING THEM TO BE REPAIRED IN THE SECRET UNDERWATER SHIPYARDS.

DURING THE FINAL BATTLE WHERE THE MANAAN FLEET ROSE TO THE SURFACE AND ENGAGED THE IMPERIALS, THE THREE HEROICS MOVED OFF TO THE FLANKS TO HOLD-OFF IMPERIAL REINFORCEMENTS. RISENFEL'S HEROES PROVED THEMSELVES THAT DAY AGAINST AN ENTIRE IMPERIAL BATTLE SQUADRON (TWELVE SHIPS). OUTGUNNED TEN-TO-ONE, THE HEROES DUELED THE IMPERIALS FOR NEARLY AN HOUR BEFORE INFAMOUSLY ENGAGING AN ACKBAR SLASH THROUGH THE IMPERIAL LINES. A SINGLE HEROIC WAS LOST, AND KYLIS' FLAGSHIP, THE ETHER HAWK, WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. REINFORCEMENTS FROM MANAAN ARRIVED AFTER, CLEANING UP THE FEW IMPERIAL SHIPS THAT WERE LEFT.

RISENFEL'S HEROES LATER SPLIT-UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO BETTER ESCAPE THE IMPERIALS. WHILE KYLIS AND THE ETHER HAWK WENT INTO HIDING, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE OTHER SURVIVING HEROIC AND ITS CREW JOINED THE SELKATH ON MANAAN IN DEFENDING THEIR NEW HOME. KYLIS LATER BROUGHT THE LIMPING ETHER HAWK AND ITS CREW INTO THE FOLDS OF THE REBELLION AFTER A UNANIMOUS VOTE TO JOIN THE REBELS.

DISTINGUISHING MARKS: A tattoo on his upper right arm, the Risenfel family crest, a black falcon with engineering marks and circuitry.

FORCE SENSITIVE: Technically yes. He was evaluated as a child by passing Jedi recruiters, and while he did have some Force-sensitivity, it wasn't enough to rate being recruited by the Jedi Order. It has been enough to save him at times, giving him a split-second warning before sudden danger strikes.

FAMILY: His father, Jean Charl Risenfel, is native Corellian business owner. He runs Risenfel Design & Engineering, a contractor for Corellian Engineering Corporation. His own father was Corellian, and his mother was Coruscanti.
His mother Jan Hart Risenfel, also a Corellian native, manages the finances of RDE and the Risenfel household. Her family is of distant Mandalorian descent, with her nearest Mandalorian ancestor being a rouge Mandalorian expatriate-turned police officer from around 200+ years ago.
His brother Svein Irun Risenfel was born on Corellia three years before Kylis. He was the person who instilled a passion for technology in his younger brother. Svein is the lead designer of RDE's Non-Weaponry Division.

STRENGTH: His large frame and years of work as a mechanic/engineer has gifted Kylis with impressive strength, capable of lifting a little over twice his own body weight. He constantly exercises to maintain his strength, preferring heavy-gravity chambers to work out in.

DEXTERITY: Trained heavily in hand-to-hand combat techniques, Kylis is quite light on his feet for his size, especially in combat. His years of work as a mechanic have given him some skill at repairing and slicing. Still, his size makes it difficult, but not impossible, to fit into small snub-fighter cockpits, like that of an X-Wing.

CONSTITUTION: While prone to illness as a child, immune system booster treatments have brought him on-par with the rest of humanity. Still, he is only human, capable of being injured like any other.

INTELLIGENCE: While not exactly a scientist, Kylis is a quite skilled engineer and mechanic. His slicing skills are decent, but he is nothing compared to very skilled slicers, like Bothan Commandos. His understanding of ships and their abilities combined with a decent amount of creativity allow him to create quite exemplary tactics in navigation and combat.

WISDOM: While he does learn from his mistakes, Kylis’ age works against him. Most of his experience is centered around his short career as the pilot-captain of the Panther.

CHARISMA: Kylis’ personality has been described as strong and magnetic, with weaker individuals attaching themselves to him regularly. His size has a lot to do with it, but Kylis is eccentric, focused, kind, and respectful in his own way. However, he does tend to be a bit blunt, especially when asked his opinion. Quite handsome, Kylis was hired by Galactic Alliance propoganda units, eventually being used in several short inspirational films (hence his recruitment profile picture above) before being hired by his father as a pilot. He can mask his bluntness when acting, but dislikes doing so, especially around people he's comfortable with.

FORCE POWERS:
Untrained. Split-second warning of danger, typical of Force-sensitives, and slightly prophetic feelings about situations. Not strong enough in the Force to rate Jedi training.

SKILLS:
-Engineering and Mechanics. Quite skilled. He’s even designed his own ship parts, his favorite and most interesting is the new Risenfel TP. However, his experiments more often than not end in disaster and a dunk in a bacta tank.
-Slicing. Mediocre skill. His main skill in this category originates from his knowledge of hardware. The software-side of slicing is his weak-point, as his exposure to higher-security systems is practically non-existent.
-Piloting. Growing up around ships all of his life, Kylis began piloting at a young age, from speeders to freighters, with the culmination being a pilot/captain of the CR-150 Panther, a new Corellian Corvette/Pocket Carrier.
-Navigation. His skills in math and piloting along with his focused personality have combined into a extensive knowledge of astral navigation. He has memorized several galactic and sector navigational maps.
-Close Combat. Taught by his father how to fight with and without a weapon, Kylis furthered his skill by taking several classes during his schooling, rising to captain of the Academy's Martial Combat Team, and then later practicing with ship mates. His favorite martial weapon is a vibroblade glaive that he built during his Academy years, but his go-to weapons in emergencies are two vibroblade knives, one hidden in his left sleeve, the other in his left boot.
-Marksman. Decently skilled. Trained by mercenaries hired by his father to teach him the ways of combat, Kylis is skilled in blaster pistols and rifles, while his favorite weapons are his K8 “Katie” Heavy Blaster Pistol, modified slightly with a larger powerpack and beam-splitter option for close quarters, a relatively standard weapon of the Galactic Alliance, a FC-1 Flechette launcher, and a hidden FWG-5 Flechette Pistol that he keeps in the small of his back.
-Leadership. Some experience. He became captain of the Panther, a new CR-150 Corellian Corvette/Pocket Carrier
-Acting. Some experience. While not professionally trained, Kylis’ time in the GA propaganda holos taught him how to be in control of his emotions and tone of voice. This has helped him when acting on the behalf of his father's company, negotiating contracts, and bluffing at sabaac.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
His strength, intelligence, and charisma work for him, giving him an edge in leadership, piloting, and engineering. However, self-doubt and short amount of experience inhibit him.

GEAR:
Kylis carries several tools at all times on his belt. He also keeps a datapad for sudden invention ideas. He constantly carries two vibroblades, his modified K8 Heavy Blaster Pistol, and keeps a M15 Blaster Rifle with a flechette launcher under-barrel attachment nearby. He also secretly carries a FWG-5 Flechette Pistol in the small of his back for emergencies. His teachers at the Corellian Military Academy taught him that you can never be too careful.

He also carries his official coffee mug that commemorates his promotion to captain.

SHIP:
Being updated.

DROIDS:
Kylis has a new R-9 astromech, courteous of a prior contract with Corellian Engineering Corporation, that he’s named Rex. While he’s upgraded the astromech with larger memory, software security and slicing protocols, and a few more engineering modules, Kylis tries his best to not change many of Rex’s core systems to keep the droid’s personality in tact (he worries about screwing-up the droid’s main processor and other core features).

PETS:
Kylis has only one pet, Storini Glass Prowler, a small translucent arthropod, that is kept in a small cage in his quarters. He regularly feeds it small glass-like beads that the creature seems to enjoy. Kylis believes that the Prowler is a fascinating creature, able to survive despite its fragility.

PERSONALITY:
Kylis is a rather imposing individual, and as such, inspires confidence in his friends and allies, and a healthy fear in his opponents. However, he tends to feel small and weak, unfit to lead himself, let alone others. Still, he always seems to find the courage to fight his fear long enough to lead his people to accomplish their goal.

Quite intelligent, Kylis devotes much of his time to working on machinery, which has also made him quite blunt, as eloquence has no place around a faulty fuel line or leaking reactor core. He also tends to overwhelm others with his random tangents pertaining to technology or piloting. His drive for perfection and intense focus sometimes disturb people, but Kylis makes it up by being quite kind and understanding. Needless to say, people around him tend to feel strongly about him, one way or the other. He is incapable of accepting failure, which works for and against him.
During his time as the pilot/captain of the Panther, Kylis gained some experience as a leader. The live ship exercises he and the crew participated in for CEC established that he could lead men and women and creatures in and out of combat.


BIOGRAPHY:
Born on Coruscant during a trading mission, Kylis Turran Risenfel was an underweight and weak baby. Doctors and nurses alike expected little of him, and prepared his parents for the worst. However, the baby boy survived, and his family took him back to Corellia, their home planet.

Due to his sensitivity to illness and the environment, Kylis was home schooled by his mother with the help of his brother, Svein. At 5, he began to learn how to work on machines with his 8-year-old brother. While punished several times for sneaking into the family workshop, Kylis never gave up his pursuit of technology and knowledge.
Finally, after years of special treatments, Kylis, now 8, was allowed to attend school. His father, Jean, worked tirelessly to fund his two sons’ education in the Corellian Military Academy, a private school taught by ex-Corellian Security and New Republic soldiers and officers, until his sons exemplary marks earned them several scholarships. In fact, Kylis and Svein earned enough extra funding to pool their credits together to buy an old Krayt-class Gunship's wrecked remains.

Kylis excelled in many areas, including hand-to-hand combat and ship navigation, but his best subjects were engineering and squad tactics. His success was tempered by regular reprimands for off-subject work, like fixing a power coupling in Ethics. Still, he progressed as rapidly as his frail body transformed into the epitome of human anatomy.

At 15, Kylis graduated from the Corellian Military Academy, 3 years earlier than usual, following in his brother’s footsteps. The school’s headmaster had contacted the Alliance about the young man, and while he was too young to enlist, propaganda recruiters had a use for him. At first, the young lad was used in recruitment posters, moving on to short commercial holos, until finally landing lead roles in several holo-dramas, like “For the Alliance”, where Kylis was a rebel leader that supported the Galactic Alliance on an evil dictator’s world. He was only 17 at the time, but the addition of a beard and make-up added the depth of age. Ironically, in his later years, Kylis did grow a beard similar to that of his "For the Alliance"-character and cut his hair similar as well, adding to his bravura.
However, before the Galactic Alliance could actually snag the promising star fully, Kylis dropped out of public view at 18, and joined his father and brother in the family’s shipping business, Risenfel Design & Engineering. Together they negotiated a long-term contract with Corellian Engineering Corporation, working with the large corporation on a myriad of fields of technology. Kylis was specifically asked to design new starship weaponry. His involvement with a new prototype ion cannon design earned him the gratitude of CEC, which included a new droid, a brand-new R-9 unit, which he named Rex.

After a while, his experience in engineering grew to encompass many fields and, like his brother, Kylis was given his own sub-contract from Risenfel Design & Engineering for a new weapons platform. After three years of hard work, Kylis finally unveiled the Risenfel Turbolaser/Ion Cannon Defensive Package, or TBIC. The new weapons systems combined new advances in turbolaser cannons with, using his previous experience with the technology, new ion cannon design. While relatively well-paid for his work, Kylis tended to devote his money to other projects, like the improvement of Rex and the restoration of the gunship, and was thus only able to live comfortably, but not extravagantly like his father and mother. Svein was also like Kylis in this aspect, spending most of his earnings on the design of a new power-supply system. In fact, Kylis would later buyout his brother's half of the ownership of the gunship so Svein would have more credits to pour into his experiments. The Risenfel XR-419 Ionization Reactor and Regulator was unveiled to the CEC after 7 years of design and experimenting. Jean Risenfel, no slouch himself, designed the Risenfel Mk.I Anti-Starfighter Defensive Package in his spare time, a weapons system that combined point-defense-lasers with an anti-starfighter flak cannon.

Eventually, these achievements landed the Risenfels on the design team for a new Corellian Corvette, a revitalization of the CR-Series. After a few months of stagnation on CEC‘s own designers, Risenfel Design & Engineering was contracted to completely design the new ship. Utilizing their own inventions and new upgraded technology, the Risenfels based the new CR-150 around the design aesthetics of the old CR-90 Corellian Corvette/Rebel Blockade Runner and the Corellian Buccaneer gunboat with the support carrier ability of a frigate or destroyer. The new corvette could operate as a support carrier, capable of fielding two squadrons, or 24, small snub-fighters of X-Wing size or smaller while doubling as a light or medium escort corvette. This attribute earned the small capital ship the title of pocket carrier, but in actuality, the ship was a full support carrier.

The CR-150’s design was a huge success among the CEC board members, and a prototype was built immediately. A late addition to the prototype was the installation of 12 proton torpedo launchers to give the corvette that extra punch. The prototype was named the Panther, after some of the fierce predatory felines on Endor due to their alarming speed and strength when hunting prey. Several different captains and crews were hired to test the ship and run it through exercises. However, the captains and crews were baffled and infuriated by the ship’s systems. Designed to be as precise as possible, the controls tended to be very temperamental and sensitive.

Fearing that the new ship would be written-off as a failure, Kylis volunteered to pilot the ship with his brother and father manning other consoles. Kylis’ knowledge of the ship’s capabilities aided him, along with the addition of a pilot’s yoke similar to that of a starfighter that could be deployed from the command console or pilot‘s station. With the systems rigged together, Kylis piloted and operated the bow weapons while his brother worked the power and shields. Their father manned the sensor and navigation consoles, with Rex plugged in to the weapon console, taking control of the rest of the ship’s weapons. The resulting effort allowed the new ship to vaporize the CEC’s doubts.

A specialized crew was trained by Kylis to operate the ship while his father, brother, and himself went back to working at Risenfel Design & Engineering. After the training was completed, Kylis went back to working on the gunship with Rex. He finally successfully made the ship suitable for atmospheric flight, though it lacked propulsion systems when the Corellian Engineering Corporation’s chairman met with Kylis discreetly and offered him a special assignment. Knowing Kylis’ desire to join the Galactic Alliance, the chairman offered the youngest Risenfel the Panther’s ownership. In exchange, Kylis was to join the Galactic Alliance and sign-over the Panther, to prove the ship’s worth to the Alliance and to possibly gain a contract for building a fleet of the new ship class. Kylis quickly agreed and was given the small crew he’d trained on a temporary basis until they reached Coruscant, where he would join the GA with the ship. The crew would then return to Corellia and report on Kylis’ success or failure.
Leaving his family, home, and gunship-project, Kylis piloted the ship out of the Corellian shipyards with Rex at his side and set a course for Coruscant. During their time in hyperspace, Kylis and some of the other mechanics built and installed a droid socket, similar to those on X-Wings, next to the command console that could be deployed from the floor when the situation called for it. With this new droid interface, Rex, or another astromech, could be given control of several of the ship’s systems, like the weapons or navigations.

Temporary-Captain Risenfel planned for an easy flight into Coruscant. However, once entering the Coruscant system, the ship was attacked by three pirate vessels, a large ancient Rendili Dreadnought called the Pirate Dragon, an original CR-90 Corellian Corvette called the Serpentia, and a run-down Lancer-class frigate called the Jockey's Nightmare, an awful reference to the ship's original purpose as a anti-starfighter frigate. This frigate, however, had many of its quad-laser turrets replaced with single-barrel turbolaser cannons. The dreadnought's captain, a Trandoshan named Vorkussk, stared at the brand-new ship and immediately wanted it for his own. Six TIE fighters streamed out of the Dragon and took a few shots on the unprotected Panther. Kylis ordered that the shields be put up, but only at 10% strength. He also ordered the turbolaser batteries to open fire, but only in single-fire mode very slowly at 10% power as well. He wanted the pirates to think he had faulty weapons. The dreadnought’s turbolaser batteries quickly battered down the corvette’s shields and Vorkussk demanded an immediate surrender. He did not wish to damage his new prize very much; the green, silver, and black paint appealed to him greatly. Kylis complied, dropping the power reactor to near-off levels and powering down the weapons and hyperdrive. Vorkussk smiled and ordered his new ship tractored in so his men could seize the corvette.

Kylis smiled slightly and motioned to his small crew to be ready. He had the ship’s power and defense controls transferred to his station and waited. Just as the dreadnought dropped its shields to dock, Kylis turned all power and shields back to full, the new experimental systems powering back up in record time. The weapons systems were immediately restored and turned to open fire. The TBIC’s let loose a withering barrage in chain-fire-mode, or CFM, turning the dreadnought’s turbolaser cannons that could target them to slag. The Panther's other TBIC's that couldn't fire on the dreadnought opened fire on the frigate. Vorkussk, now thoroughly enraged, ordered his ship’s shields back up, but with the damage already done to his ship, the starboard shield projector failed, allowing the Panther to continue its deadly pounce. Kylis returned the power and defense controls back to their respective stations and had his piloting yoke deployed. He then armed all of his ship's torpedo launchers and fired them at the dreadnought and frigate, which had moved up toward the Panther's port-side. Pushing the corvette’s 11 engines to their max power, Kylis executed a loop around the dreadnought’s stern while putting the ship into a roll, then leveled out into a charge down the larger ship’s spine toward the bow, turbolasers blazing. The Serpentia attempted to turn to fire on the Panther, but the frigate was in her line-of-fire.

Kylis was now in serious trouble. While the dreadnought was quite damaged, the frigate and enemy corvette still boasted a lot of firepower. He suddenly had an idea, a tactic that he'd read about in a naval history book. He piloted his corvette away from the three pirate vessels, in an apparent retreat, then once the pirates turned to follow, he cut the engines and spun the ship on its axis using the repulsors. Now facing his attackers, Kylis pushed the engines back to full-power, charging the center of the three pirate ships. Surprised by the move, but grateful for their apparent good fortune, the three pirate ships opened fire. Kylis pushed all available shield power into the forward shielding as he dove into the pirate formation. Rex had taken over the ship’s weapon systems and scanners, searching for weak points in the enemy corvette’s and frigate’s defenses. The dreadnought, still reeling from the damage inflicted upon it from Panther’s original attack, only half-heartedly attacked, and was low on the threat-scale.

Now passing between the pirate ships, Kylis evened out the corvette’s shielding. His reiteration of the ancient Ackbar-Slash worked perfectly. The frigate’s badly installed turbolaser batteries has difficulty tracking the Panther, always shooting behind the passing ship, and pummeling the Serpentia on the other side. Then, due to the confusion, the Serpentia’s captain, a very paranoid and unstable Quarren, believed the Nightmare had turned on his ship and ordered his own vessel to open fire on the frigate. The Nightmare’s captain, a very paranoid Mon Calamari, came to the same conclusions when the Serpentia turned on them, and opened fire on the frigate. Then Kylis executed his own dramatic flair to the Ackbar Slash, ordering Rex to unleash a second salvo of proton torpedoes, these aiming to port at the frigate and to starboard at the enemy corvette. With the Serpentia and Nightmare shelling each other combined with the Panther’s turbolaser blasts, the torpedoes punched through both pirate vessels’ shields. The Nightmare suffered far more than the Serpentia, though. A torpedo had splashed on the frigate’s bow, right into her command bridge. The Serpentia’s captain, shocked at the damage to his own ship and the Nightmare, returned to firing on the Panther. It was too late though, as the Panther slipped behind the Dragon, and looped back over along the dreadnought’s starboard-side.

With the shield generator already damaged, it wasn’t long before the dreadnought’s shields failed entirely, just as the Panther streaked in a roll by the Dragon’s bow, and now-vulnerable command bridge. Vorkussk looked in horror as the bow laser batteries on the Panther turned down in mid-roll and targeted his bridge as the smaller ship passed overhead. He turned to run to the escape pods but never made it. Several turbolaser blasts ripped through the vulnerable bridge’s transparisteel viewport, exploding along the back bulkheads. Those who didn’t die from the blast were sucked out into the vacuum of space, explosive decompression claiming their lives. The new commander of the frigate, with the original dead, finally gained control of his ship from the secondary bridge and ordered his damaged vessel to jump to the safety of hyperspace. The Serpentia moved to remain on-site, until it saw the dreadnought's hulled bridge, it too turned away and entered hyperspace.

With the vessel now thoroughly defenseless, Kylis had the TBIC’s switch to ion cannons, disabling the Dragon’s engines and hyperdrive. After a few minutes, the battle was over. The corvette used its tractor-beam to haul in several escape pods as Galactic Alliance vessels arrived on scene to arrest the pirates. In a moment of confusion, the Alliance ships threatened to attack the Panther, believing that it was the pirate ship. Kylis hastily explained his ship’s history and transmitted the Panther’s log. The corvette would be escorted along with the captured Dragon in tow all the way to Coruscant to a docking station. Once there, the crew of the Panther arranged for transport back to Corellia while Kylis negotiated his own enlistment and that of the Panther with some Alliance Navy recruiters. He knows that even if he is allowed to command the Panther, he’ll have to train a new crew on her operations, with Rex’s help of course.

Turns out, even with the lower officer rank of midshipman, Kylis was allowed to keep command of the Panther. He was given the temporary rank of Warrant Officer, which is just a high midshipman, and given a crew. They trained for a few weeks before setting out to patrol their assigned sectors. High Command wished the new officer and his ship to gain some experience before being flung into the war with the Sith and their allies.

Human, with very distant Mandalorian ancestry on his mother's side

I'm sort of wondering what you mean by this. Mandalorians are not a species, so you can't really be a descendant of one in the sense it seems like you are implying.

Do you perhaps mean that his mothers family were part of a Mandalorian clan? If so, it might be an interesting bit to put in the biography, but not the species section.

The funny part is that I had that written out, and accidentally forgot to paste it back in. Yeah, I'll fix that. One of her ancestors about two-hundred years back was a Mandalorian ex-patriot. And you're right, it shouldn't be in the species section.

I look forward to RPing with this guy!
Thanks! I'm really excited/nervous about joining this RP. I was afraid I'd made him seem too perfect, which he's very not.

AND Fixed.

Oh, this? This guy is barely qualified to lead a kindergarten sports team, much less a Rebellion.

This is who you're really looking for, though ICly few know it. Still in binary though.
