Character History

Ace Pilot

Jorgus, to his disappointment, started out his career in the Navy working onboard larger capital ships. Though this wasn't unusual, it would be a lie to say that he hadn't hoped to be immediately assigned to a fighter squadron. Through it all, Jorgus just bit his lip, and kept working. He showed his skill in fighters and flight simulators and eventually those displays got him placed in a TIE fighter during combat exercises. When he performed exceptionally there too, Jorgus finally got what he had been waiting for.

Accompanying his promotion to Flight Sergeant Jorgus was assigned to a new TIE-Scout squadron, Vengeance squadron. He stayed there through many missions, forming bonds with other members of the squadron. There efficacy got them assigned more difficult and critical missions and through it all, they gained renown. Jorgus, or Vengeance 02, also began to gain a reputation as a daring pilot of exceptional skill. This, combined with the initiative he took within his fleet to ameliorate the training exercises and step up the training, saw him rise through the enlisted ranks.

Finally, when he was a Master Flight Sergeant, he was assigned on a special mission to Carida. The mission saw him transferred from Vengeance squadron to Onyx squadron, an elite TIE-Scout squadron widely known for its unorthodox tactics. The only reason it was still around was that it had never failed a mission. Not once. Jorgus came onto the squadron as the replacement tactical advisor. The one before him had just been promoted to an officer and transferred to a different fleet. The mission, like all the others, was successful, and upon its completion Jorgus, when provided with the choice, elected to return to Vengeance squadron.

By the time his return was actually put into place, he was a Flight Officer and the squad leader. Things seemed well, at first, though it was taking Jorgus time to adjust to his command role. Despite the trust his squadmates placed in him and the tactical expertise he had, he often second-guessed himself, not wanting to needlessly risk the lives of members of his squadron. While a noble notion, in the grand of schemes it was ineffective as the life of a few of Imperials could surely be sacrificed for the greater good of the Empire. Still, Jorgus' stubbornness prevailed over his sense and his unwillingness to take risks led not only to his squad beginning to lose their trust in him, but to failed missions. Had the missions been of a lesser importance, failure would not have been so bad. However, the missions the squadron was being assigned on were often critical - a result of their past performance and the skill Jorgus proved he had. Luckily this mission was not too critical for if it had Jorgus would likely have lost his command. He was given a second chance, though, and he was determined not to waste it.

On the next missions that followed Jorgus began taking more risks. Though he lost a pilot in that time, the missions he and his squad were assigned to were definite successes. Again, Jorgus' reputation grew and he became a name frequently heard by aspiring aces in the simulators. He even helped run combat exercises when time allowed. Things were going great, until he took a little too great of a risk in a scouting mission, moving too far into enemy territory. Though he had ordered the rest of the squad to stay back, not wanting to risk their lives, they had all followed, having grown as stubborn as he was. That quality saved his life that day, when enemy forces scrambled two squadrons of fighters to confront them.

A dogfight ensued. At first, it was just bad. Vengeance squadron was outnumbered two to one. However, they had trained for such situations. Besides, they were facing uglies that were less maneuverable and poorly built, even if they did have a better arsenal. Thus, they managed to dispatch the enemies while only losing two of their men. However, that was just the first wave, a warm up. Moments after the fight died down two squadrons of Z-95 headhunters came at them. In their first pass, in which they caught Jorgus and the other Imperials almost entirely by surprise, they killed two more pilots and damaged two other TIE-Scouts. Though the Imperials responded bravely it was futile.The Headhunters were better equipped for combat, more maneuverable, and Jorgus' superior tactics were made irrelevant by the fact that they only had nine ships, two of which were damaged, bringing the count to about four enemy ships for every friendly.

Vengeance squadron scrambled, starting up hyperspace and getting out as fast as possible. The silence of space had never terrified Jorgus before this moment. The distressed voices of his pilots, frantically communicating their progress in programming hyperspace locations, would cut off and be replaced first by static, then by silence. A few moments would pass and the cycle would repeat itself.

Only four Imperials - Jorgus included - made it out alive that day. They had managed to take out seven of the headhunters during their escape, though they didn't bother to remark that when they next saw each other. They were all too occupied. Some with their thoughts, others with the severe injuries they had suffered, and Jorgus with his guilt. Had he not gone out so far, none of this would have happened.

It was this event that inspired Jorgus to take a Leave of Absence and move to the reserves. Though people were sad to see him go, none dared to try to convince him otherwise. They had all heard the story by the time Jorgus had made his decision. It was partially for that reason, and partially because of his record that fleet command also decided not to punish him for his actions.

He returned almost exactly two years later. The Navy had been restructured. Two of the pilots who had survived the encounter had retired completely from military service. The other now served as an officer onboard a star destroyer.

Jorgus had spent two years gathering his thoughts, and finding what else the galaxy had to offer him. He did a lot, during his time away, but hasn't yet bothered to tell anyone what exactly it was that he did.
