Character History
Early life
Ryan Roche was born in Tyrena City, Corellia at Year -13 as Ryan Naar Roche or simply, Ryan. His father was one of the working men at the Corellian Engineering Corporation and his mother died when he was just 4 years old. Not much is known about the Roche family tree, only Ryan's close family is at record. His father's name was Robert Roche and his mother's Anna Roche. His mother died in the start of the Civil War. Ryan have 2 brothers, Ben Roche and Tony Roche. They both later worked in the CEC until today. We also have information about Ryan's uncle and his son. Ryan's uncle was Robert's brother, his name was Joseph. His son, Rylan was a couple of years older than Ryan, and his name was the inspiration for Robert to choose Ryan, as his third son's name. Rylan left the family long ago, and was later killed by pirates.
After he finished the Tyrena Flight School he went to work with his father in the Corellian Engineering Corporation. His father was a successful man that was one of the designers of the CR90 Corvette. Ryan wanted to work with his father in the CEC but didn't have the time, although he had the knowledge. He was a freelancer for a long time, trying to find something to do; he bought a small cheap ship, capable of traveling in the Galaxy using Hyperdrive. Ryan was in many places, at first trying to be a bounty hunter, and later a freighter pilot, but none of it was good for Ryan. When the Empire started recruiting people, Ryan took the chance the wanted to know how he will handle. Not knowing his future...

Appearance
Body Description
Ryan is 1.78 meters high, just a little bit below his father, the Roche family has always been tall people. At first, Ryan had a nice look, wearing his Corellian Pilot uniform, and a short brown hair, with brown eyes. Like his mother and father, Ryan has strong hands, used for heavy lifting of mechanical parts, such as ship parts. Over the years of Corellian Engineering, made the Corellians with strong hands to work with. As well as legs. Ryan have a muscular body, he trains every day, and when he have time, he comes visit in Corellia to train in the Training Grounds, although his punishment was still in effect, his friends forgave him. Body, combat and pilot trainings, Ryan always need to stay in shape so whenever he encounters an enemy, he will defeat it. Today, Ryan still has the same muscular body, as well as strong hands and legs. But now, after the time in Prison, the only different thing is his scar on his leg. And a lot more scars on his back.
Titles and Family
Ryan, through out his life held many positions and titles. From a simple Crewman, to the GE's Art Director, a Viscount, and Roche Family son. Before Ryan was born, the Roche family lived long in Corellia, but was not a part of Corellia's true natives. At the time of the Great Hyperspace War, when hyperspace was introduced, many people immigrated to Corellia in order to live a better life. It is believed that the Roche family founding fathers were a group of scientists that researched the Galaxy and its history. They traveled all across the Galaxy and to the farthest reaches of space. Mapping and exploring everything they encounter. When arriving at the Roche Asteroids, the ship had hard time navigating through the asteroids, and one of the asteroids hit the ship in the Life Support system. Time was running out, and from the Life Support systems, fire spread to the Bridge, and finally, before the scientists were able to escape, the ship was destroyed. The names of the scientists are unknown, but although it is believe there were no survivors, there were in fact 2. A Human male, and a Human female, who started the family. After the incident they decided to quit the researches world, because of how dangerous it is, and how their lives could end so easily as their friends. They decided to start over, get a new life. They moved to Corellia and changed their last name to 'Roche', where they decided to change their lives and live together.
Ships
The Hawk's Claw
The Hawk's Claw was a Firespray-Class Patrol Ship which Ryan bought on Taris. The ship was originally owned by his cousin, and when he disappeared, it was found and owned by smugglers. The ship finally came to Ryan when a smuggler sold it to him in Taris. It is unknown if it was fate, or a coincidence that made Ryan's cousin ship, come back to Ryan after all that time.
The Hawk's Claw served as Ryan's ship for many years, but the Ship was too old to work on daily basis, it could not stand Hyperdrive travel. Ryan parked it in his Hanger back in Corellia and hoped to come back repair it. It was his pride and honour to have this ship.
The Thunder Fleet
The Thunder Fleet is a 5 ship fleet constructed only from YT Class ships. After earning decent amount of credits, Ryan decided to build his own fleet, all from Corellian designs. The Fleet gives Ryan something to be proud of, a joy each time he travels. The new Thunder Fleet will assure Ryan's safety, and Corellia's. The Fleet includes the following ships:
- The YT-1210 "Thunderhead"
- The YT-2000 "Thunderstorm"
- The YT-2400 "Thunderstrike"
- The YT-1300 "Thunderbolt"
- The YT-510 "Thunderhawk"
The fleet was collected by Ryan Roche from numerous previous owners, it is unknown of the full story of each and every ship, but from now on they will be called the Thunder Fleet. The Thunder Fleet HQ is located at the Corellian System, where they have been painted in new colours, and given their new names. You can say it was all assembled at the Corellian system. The reason for this is Ryan having a strong connection to his homeworld, when asked about the Thunder Fleet he responded: "The Thunder Fleet will help protect Corellian System from all its enemies. We are fast as the lightning and might as the Thunder. The Fleet will make sure the system is safe, and is kept this way."
The Thunderhead
The first ship Ryan collected to his fleet. Ryan bought it straight from the YT-1210 producers. Being the apple of his eye, the ship is capable of anything. He used it long before he decided to establish the Thunder Fleet. The ship was all Ryan needed at that time. Giving decent speed and high sensor range, not to mention the 100T space you can put there, the Thunderhead is the true example of what a Corellian Freighter can be. The name 'Thunderhead', that started it all, doesn't have a huge story like some other ship names. It was in Corellia when Ryan first decided to get his own ship after what happened with his previous. It was a stormy night, and you could see lightning bolts and hear thunders all over Ryan's place. Being his first YT ship, he then decided to call it The 'Thunderhead' being the head of his future Fleet.
The Thunderstorm
The second ship Ryan collected to his fleet. This YT-2000 Ryan purchased from a Mandalorian trader, and what was before that is unknown. You can say the Thunderstorm takes the role of the protector of the Fleet. Maximum speed and great weapon system, you will not get pass this ship without a fight. A unique design, putting the cockpit in the front of the ship, makes it perfect for docking and landing. It will remain one of the more interesting ships in the Thunder Fleet. The name 'Thunderstorm' came from that night Ryan decided to establish a fleet, it was a stormy night, with lots of thunderstorms, just like this YT-2000.
The Thunderstrike
The third ship Ryan collected to his fleet. The Thunderstrike, like her sister YT-2000, came as well from a Mandalorian trader, and Ryan's friend. It had beautiful painting on her, and a lot of burn marks indicating the ship went through more than one battle. Ryan took care of her, and painted her with colours to match the other Thunder Fleet ships of that time. With normal speed and minimum weapon system, the Thunderstrike can sure take care of itself, and the Fleet. The name 'Thunderstike' can't mean anything else than being a Thunder Strike. It came as well from the night Ryan decided to establish a fleet.
The Thunderhawk
The forth ship Ryan collected to his fleet. Its past unknown, but you could notice the scratches on the rear part of the ship, no doubt the engines were overused. And no wonder they were, this YT-510 is one of the fastest in the Galaxy, boosting maximum sublight speed and hyperdrive, when it comes to speed, this ship is unbeatable. Although it posses no weapons at all, this ship can benefit the whole fleet than any other. Ryan's intentions are to use it as a scout, having a large sensor range and double the speed of any other craft, it will gather info on the incoming enemy and be back in time to make preparations for battle. The name 'Thunderhawk' came from two different things Ryan thought about. One is the 'Thunder' that each of his ships must wear, and the other was the 'Hawk'. Reminding him of his once beloved ship the Hawk's Claw, this Hawk, was named because of the ship's speed. Being as fast as a hawk spotting his pray. At first Ryan decided the name should be Lightning, as if the ship is as fast as a Lightning strike. But it was dropped when Ryan decided all his ships should wear 'Thunder' in their name.
The Thunderbolt
The fifth and the last ship Ryan collected to his YT series fleet. The history of the ship was recorded by the previous owner in the Ship's logs. Hundreds of thousands of lines which detail about Galaxy sectors, locations, visited planets, people that were onboard and all the cargo that went in and out. It is clear this ship went through a lot, explored all the Galaxy and was used as smuggling ship. The last log entry was the journal of the original owner. He flew to the Unknown Regions to map the area, but never returned. The ship drifted in space until someone crossed into it, and never erased the logs. Although a normal speed and a cheap Hyperdrive engine, the ship was the last piece left to make the Thunder Fleet alive. The Thunderbolt is the backbone of the fleet, it will backup the ships when in battle. The name was inspired from Ryan's fourth ship, the Thunderhawk which was first named Lightning Strike. Ryan decided it should be named 'Thunderbolt' like the Lightning bolt, and the Thunder which all his ships have.
