Surizal Jakohr is by all appearances a galactic standard Corellian male. He has fair skin and short blonde hair, and carries himself with a confidence born of surviving the streets of Corellia. He is currently a Lieutenant Junior Grade in the Imperial Navy.

Character History

Early Life

Surizal Jakohr grew up mostly on the streets of Corellia. While his parents weren't, by definition, poor, they were also not quite wealthy enough to send Surizal off for any private education. Instead, Surizal attended public school, where he excelled enough in his studies to attend University, but had insufficient funds to do so. In an effort to pay for his tuition, he took a job at the Corellian Shipyards, working on assembling capital ships. Unfortunately, he was still unable to earn enough to finish his first year of University, and was forced to drop out. Shortly thereafter, motivated by his work in the shipyards and a desire to go off-world, Surizal submitted his recruitment packet to the Galactic Empire.

Family Life

Surizal's father, Taemush Jakohr, served "in the military" before settling down on Corellia with his wife Cyres "when the war was done", and raised Surizal in a strict but not overbearing manner. Neither of his parents spoke much about their lives before Surizal was born, nor what they did during the previous galactic conflict. Taemush currently works as a security officer, and Cyres is a nurse in a medical facility.

Career

Corellian Engineering Corporation

Surizal began work at the Corellian Engineering Corporation on Year 18 Day 115, in an effort to secure tuition funds for University. Unfortunately, menial labor is not enough to pay for college, so those dreams were put on hold. Surizal enjoyed working with his hands though, and had a knack for memorizing the layouts of the various vessels that he worked on assembling. One of his promotions within the Shipyards procured him some flight training, and saw him piloting assembly craft in orbit over Corellia. This is where his love of the stars was borne, and Surizal made plans then and there to one day pilot his own ship.

Imperial Service

Contact with the Galactic Empire

After performing emergency repairs on an Imperial vessel that entered Corellian Space, Surizal managed to impress one of the officers enough to earn a letter of recommendation, which Surizal promptly took to the local Imperial Recruitment depot, and secured himself a commission into the Imperial Academy. After tying up his few affairs on Corellia, Surizal boarded his slightly-less-than-new YT-510, and left Corellia for the Academy.

Imperial Academy on Prakith

Surizal joined the Empire on Year 23 Day 214, studied at the Imperial Academy under Senior Training Officer RADM Thokul Tovcor, and graduated with honors on Y23 D222.

Imperial Navy

The day following his graduation from the Imperial Academy, Surizal was commissioned into the Imperial Navy as an Ensign and assigned to 2nd Fleet.

Operation: Silent Night

After reporting to the 2nd Imperial Fleet under Rear Admiral Shonblam Dacar, ENS Jakohr's first port of duty was to retrieve a Carrack class ship and take it to 2nd Fleet's hub of operations. Once there, Surizal was tasked with WarSim practice, to familiarize himself with the different ships and their capabilities at the Fleet's disposal. Shortly after that though, a request for volunteers came down from the new Ruby Task Force Commander. Admiral Cataldo Blackstar was looking for Officers of all ranks to take part in his debut operation, Operation: Silent Night. Leaping at the chance, Ensign Jakohr was one of the first officers in his Fleet to volunteer. Boarding a TIE/sr, Surizal received his orders en route to a pre-designated location. The group he was assigned to was tasked with performing a rather large number of deep space scans in 3 different Sectors of Imperial Space. About halfway through the first sector though, Surizal noticed that the way each sector's subsystems was laid out in the FRAGO wasn't a particularly efficient route. At the encouragement of his Commanding Officer, Ensign Jakohr took it upon himself to chart out a much more efficient scanning route, and disseminated the new route to his fellow officers. Using this new route, Ensign Jakohr was able to singlehandedly scan over half of the total number of systems in the 3 weeks of Operation: Silent Night, and for this activity, he was nominated by his Commanding Officer as 2nd Fleet's Navy Officer of the Month, at his first Navy Monthly Meeting. Immediately following the meeting, Ensign Jakohr was awarded his first Letter of Commendation, and an Imperial Activity Medal, for these actions.

REDACTED Infrastructure Project

Following a shortage of Regional Government and Ministry of Industry personnel, Admiral Blackstar was approached by Grand Moff Takla and asked for a volunteer to assist with building some mines in a developing Imperial system. Knowing that Ensign Jakohr had both the initiative and the requisite skill sets to properly assist the Grand Moff, Surizal was instructed to request a shuttle from his command, and report to the Grand Moff. What followed was a brief stint with a nationalized entity (the Imperial Mining Corporation) and a grueling month of intersystem and planetary travel, retrieving and assigning worker personnel, requesting building privileges, calculating and allocating construction materiel, and finally beginning the construction on nearly 2 dozen mining facilities. About halfway through this project (and numerous cups of Spiran Caf at his new favorite cantina), Surizal was granted a break in the project, and told to report back to his Fleet's hub of operations. Once there, Ensign Jakohr was informed that both his transfer to INSC and his application to the new Carrier Team as the Aerospace Group Commander were approved. Following this announcement though, Ensign Jakohr was awarded his second Letter of Commendation, from Grand Moff Takla, for his hard work with RGOV.

Operation: REDACTED

What should have been a routine show of force started off, quite literally, with a bang. Terrorists attacked the CEC Shipyards where Surizal once worked, killing many of his old friends and coworkers, but the fallout wasn't limited to space and near-orbit. Debris rained down on Corellia herself, drawn in by her own gravitational pull. Cities across the planet suffered damage, and civilians were crushed. Surizal's parents, who had just days before celebrated Taemush's promotion to Technician Grade IV, had just moved into their new hab complex, before it was ground into dust by a crashing capital ship. Authorized by ADM Blackstar, ENS Jakohr now wears a black armband, along with many other servicemembers of the Galactic Empire, on his left bicep, in remembrance of his lost family.
