Ryan Roche, 23 years old Corellian male and a proud native of Corellia. As an average Corellian boy, he was raised to be a pilot, and a ship designer, much like his Father and big brothers. Ryan never had a mother to take care of him, he was raised by a bunch of men, his mother died when he was just 4 years old, and he never really knew her. Ryan was the youngest member of the Family, and he was treated well. He went to work with his Father in the Corellian Shipyards, where his talents as a ship designer would come to use. His Father knew that although very young, a strong pare of hands will make the job done, and Ryan's potential was heared all through the factory.

He wanted to build fast ships with weapons and lots of cargo hold, he had great design ideas, but most of all, he wanted to own a Fleet of Corellian ships he will use to further explore the galaxy. He made his dream come true eventually, but not yet he managed to explore the farthest reaches of space. Before having a fancy fleet to fly with, using the money he saved most of his short life, Ryan bought a small ship to do what he always wanted, explore the galaxy, at the age of 18 he finished working and left Corellia. Later on he turned to be a fine Imperial, and a Chief Master Sergeant in the Imperial Navy. He will one day return to his family at Corellia and show them what he had achieved.

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 in the Corellian Shipyard Factories 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 took care of Ryan until he was 4 years old when she died unexpectedly. Some say it was a disease that killed her, but Ryan never knew, his father never talked about it, nor his two brothers, who were much younger at that time, they didn't know much. Ryan's 2 brothers are Ben Roche and Tony Roche. They both went to work with their father like Ryan in the Corellian Shipyard Factories to build ships. They still work there in Corellia, and when Ryan comes to visit he is glad they make Corellia proud for another day. We also have information about Ryan's uncle and his son. Ryan's uncle was Robert's brother, and his name was Joseph. Joseph lived in a City nearby, Coronet, which is the Capital of Corellia, they were very wealthy. Joseph's family, although connected to Ryan's, was always trying to avoid Ryan and his family since they were simple builders, while they were the ones that fly the ships, not build them. Joseph's son, Rylan, was a couple of years older than Ryan, and when Robert and Jospeh still had contact, his name was the inspiration for Robert to choose Ryan, as his third son's name. Rylan left the family furious, and only told his father why he did it. Joseph was ruined, and his life were destroyed. He never talked to Rylan or what happened to him from the day he left. Ryan disappeared into Deep Space long ago, and was later killed by pirates.

When Ryan was 6, 2 years after his mother's death, his Father sent him to the Tyrena Flight School, to get him familiar with ships, and be an excellent pilot. Ryan's Father had many plans for him. After he finished the Tyrena Flight School at the age of 15, he went to work with his Father in one of the factories, besides being a pilot, Ryan's father wanted him to know how ships are built, and how to build them. His father was a successful man that was one of the designers of the CR90 Corvette. Ryan worked with his Father and two big brothers, and in the mean time also got to know Space travel, Starships, and how Hyperdrive works. That wasn't the plan at first, the plan was to make Ryan familiar with Ships.. He got a lot more than that. 3 years afterwards, Ryan decided that working in a factory all his life is not the way for him.

A New start

Ryan left Corellia when he was 18 years old, still young, but ambitious. He was a freelancer for a long time, trying to find something to do; he bought a small cheap ship with the money he had, capable of traveling in the Galaxy using Hyperspace. Ryan was in many places, at first trying to sell his ship design ideas, and later a Freighter pilot, but none of it was good or useful for Ryan. He wondered in the galaxy, trying to make money to be a ship that could fly faster than 40 MGLT, that was always his dream. But he didn't see a good way of making money to complete it, he wanted his fleet so much but was so far away from reaching his target. He saw an ad about a Raider group called Etas Raider Group, he heard they have a large salary, and that's what he was looking for, so he took the job.

Roso's Raider Group

As the name suggested, the Etas Raider Group was a group of War rouges that started their own group. They are not in favour of any Government or faction, they do not help the Rebels, or the Empire, they are not bounty hunters, and not smugglers, they wanted to be referred as a group of trained people who wanted to make money. Coming to their camp at Coruscant, Ryan saw many more people trying to apply, some look unintelligent, some were like Ryan, and some acted as if they were actually pirates. And on the other line, Ryan saw the people who did not make it inside. He understood it's not going to be easy, but he knew that if he won't get the job he'll look for something else to do.

Ryan entered the bunker where the application was held. The recruiter looked at him, he took Ryan's papers and prepared the Red stamp, which indicates, "Denied". Luckily, he did look a bit inside Ryan's resume, and was surprised to find out he is a remarkable Ship Designer, he approached Ryan and told him to enter the door behind him. Ryan didn't know what was that all about. The room was empty, nothing inside but a table and a door, with a small light on the sealing. A man entered. He said his name was Roso, or at least that was his code name. He questioned Ryan, and Ryan was as honest as he could. He said he was good at designing ships, he can help with Space Combat and Ship Modification. The man called Eta looked at him, he examined his body, Ryan wasn't so muscular as the man hoped. But in the end, he took Ryan for the job, Tactical Advantage is a key factor in Space Combat, and if Ryan could modify their ships, and teach them about useful Space Combat, he will be an excellent edition to the Group. They wanted to know how to attack Ship weakness points, and how to penetrate shields and such. In return, they paid Ryan well, and showed him the arts of the Melee Combat.

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

(Under Construction)

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

(Under Construction)

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.
