Biography

Early Life

Kiffex

The Kiffar reside on the planet Kiffex and most of them live organized in clans. Characteristically, the Kiffar living in clans have their faces tattooed to show their belonging to this clan. The clans are very often keeper of an artifact, an ancient building or other culturally important place or object. Those Kiffar that do not belong to an organized clan are referred to with the term "austerder". This also extends to other sentients outside the species and is considered for the most part derogatory. Kiffar austerders are treated with discrimination by their clanned brethren due to the circumstances usually associated with clanless Kiffar. Those that no longer have membership within a clan, or were not born into one (ie; born or adopted off world by non Kiffar, are descendants of a mixed relationship, or other circumstances), are considered second class to clanned members of the species. The hierarchy between clans is also very strict, with a distinction between major, minor, and ouvrir clans, as well as the distinction between Northern and Southern clans.

Less than 30 years ago, the already politically unstable, and for the most part primitive clans of Kiffex were brought into direct conflict in part from the urging of the intervening powers of the Black Sun, the criminal organisatoin occupying the planet and providing arms to both sides. The seething tribal conflicts however needed only a subtle urging, as they had been simmering for centuries since the semi-mythical 'Sundering of Clans'. The fighting took place for the most part between the more affluent and developing South and the traditional and isolationist Northern Clans. In the process the more central clans were either wiped out or forced to pick sides. This constant fighting eventually resulted in a waste-zone along the front, later to be called the De-militarised Zone, once a tentative peace was reached due to troop exhaustion, ill supplied troops and the withdrawal of Black Sun support for either side. The previously all-consuming civil war fizzled out rather unceremoniously. Since the end of the Civil war that split the planet's habitable territories in half between the two factions, the political climate on Kiffex has stabilized to an extent. Guided by leaders from both the north and south with an amicable professional relationship, the clans of Kiffex are no longer in a state of hostility. Instead they have put their focuses to modernization, planetary and inter-system trade, and on the subject of the planetary occupation by Black Sun.

Mordamen was born on the planet Kiffex in the year -8 to Kytana of the Sarka clan and Mythus Bast a Mandalorian Commando in service to the Imperial Army, the descendant of General Moradmin Bast who had fallen in the attack on the Death Star. With a family history of service to the Empire Mordamen was destined for service in the Armed Forces.

As Mordamen grew up he was trained by his father in the rudiments of Stealth, Combat - both armed and unarmed, Tactics and Strategy. He soon grew up to be a bright and inquisitive boy who enjoyed the outdoors and physical exercise. When he reached the age of 10 Mordamen was sent to the Clan School's to further his education at the insistence of his mother. There he started to learn the rudimentary history and customs of the Kiffar.

But it was not to be, war soon broke out as the Clans fought among themselves in a bloody civil war that claimed thousands and sundered the whole of the planet. Divided and torn asunder the Kiffar did not know that the criminal organization Black Sun had masterminded the whole affair by selling information and arms to all sides in an effort to gain control of the planet. With destruction and devastation all around his parents sent him offworld to the Syndaar Military Prep School in the hopes of giving him a better life.

Syndaar Military Prep school

Mordamen soon lost touch with his Kiffar heritage and embraced the Military Schools teaching wholeheartedly. there he perfected his skills as a warrior, tactician and strategist. It was also where he found his calling as a Combat Engineer and where he learnt the uses of Mines and Explosives. He was among the top of his class in Martial Arts and it was there that he started practicing Teräs Käsi as well as retaining the Mandalorian Martial Arts taught to him by his father. He also excelled in Weapons use and after 3 years he graduated with honors in the top 5% of his class.

Early Service

Mordamen as part of the Imperial Commando Special Unit.

After leaving the School Mordamen enlisted in the Imperial Army and eventually joined the Commando Unit: Imperial Commando Special Unit, the remnant of all the clone commando's that still survived from the Clone Wars - where he joined Training Squad Alpha. There he started basic training in the hope of becoming a Stromtrooper one day and joining the galaxy's elite unit of soldiers. The Commando Special Unit training was a relentless and grueling 6 months of constant movement, engagments, war games and classes in Tactics and Strategy, they operated with the same effiecency and pragmatism as thier own training on Kamino. It was the hardest 6 months of Mordamen's life.

All was going well until one day a routine training mission went horribly wrong. On the planet Bovo Yagen, Alpha Squad was ambushed by Rebel forces masquerading as training instructors. At the start they thought that it was just a routine run, but when their Training Officer was killed in front of their eyes by covert sniper fire they realized that this was no ordinary test. Beset on all sides, in a situation that seemed hopeless Mordamen strove to pick up the shattered remains of his squad and bring them to the randevouze point. But alas it was hopeless, in a series of running engagments and skirmishes Alpha Squad was slowly torn apart and decimated
