"I seek the means to fight injustice, to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful."

— Drake Ferrum

Drake Ferrum is of Corellian and Mandalorian descent. He is currently serving as a Crewman in the Imperial Navy.
Drake Ferrum was born in Coruscant on Year -6, Day 242. Drake was an inventive genious and wunderkind, having built a circuit board at age 4 and a speeder engine at age 6. However, Drake's life changed when he and his family was kidnapped by Corellian pirates when Drake was 16. Threatened to build Mandalorian and Correllian armor and weaponry for the pirates, instead they built a suit of armor in which Drake's father would use to clear a path for Drake and his mother. However, both of Drake's parents were killed before he could do his job. Alone, Drake used the suit to escape captivity, but got stranded in the desert. While there, Drake runs into an elite vigilante group and trains under them to realize what he wants to do with his life. After learning he shares the ideals of the Galactic Empire, Drake returned to Coruscant and joined the Empire to bring justice, order, and security to the Galaxy.

Captivity

On a trip back to Corellia when Drake was 16, he and his family were kidnapped by local Correllian pirates while on the Beskar I. The pirates wanted Rydell and Ka'ra to design and build new types of Mandalorian armor and Correllian weapons for them so they could be supplied to an army. Instead, Ka'ra and Rydell build a crude Mandalorian and Correllian battlesuit which Rydell would use to clear a path that Ka'ra and Drake could use to escape. However, right as they finished constructing the suit, the leader of the pirate group confrots them and kills both Ka'ra and Rydell. Alone, Drake is torn apart in agony after witnessing his parents' deaths. Drake puts on the suit and uses it to escape captivity, killing numerous pirates along the way. He eventually escapes, abandoning the Beskar I. The suit falls apart in the Correllian desert, and Drake abandons the suit as well.
