Adam Linon is a 25-year-old Corellian male currently serving as an Ensign in the Imperial Navy.

Before the Empire

Childhood

Adam Linon was born to two farmers on the temperate Corellian world of Tralus. The family estate was fairly large but barely profitable. Money was too scarce for anything beyond basic necessities throughout his early years. Rusted, quirky droids performed much of the legwork on the farm; however, Adam's father Damien insisted that physical labour would be character building and had Adam working the land from the age of 7. It should be conceded that there really wasn't much else to do - the Linons lived far from Tralus' major settlements and so there were no other children to play with. Even Holonet coverage was unreliable and basic. The droids living and working around him were Adam's only company, save for his parents. Fortunately, Damien Linon was blessed with initiative and intelligence far above his vocation: by the time Adam was 9 his father had obtained a degree in Civil Engineering from Coronet University, provided for by now Imperial Tralus' newly expanded Holonet infrastructure. The following year Damien was hired by the Corellian Engineering Corporation as an entry-level employee and family life was upended by a move to Coronet City on neighbouring Corellia. Adam's mother Cera was unemployed for several months before finding work as an assistant at the Coronet City Zoological and Botanical Gardens. The family settled into a small and cramped apartment downtown, which they shared with maternal uncle Lou Porpel and his 2 daughters.

Tralus, Corellian system

Adolescence

Coronet City was obviously a far cry from Adam's childhood life. His father was rarely present in the home due to the demands of his new job; Lou Propel, a subway driver, quickly became a secondary father figure. When Adam was 11, he went to school for the first time, having been taught to read and write Basic by his parents years before. At first he found it hard to adjust to school life and even exhibited some behavioural problems but by the age of 13 Adam was excelling academically. His increasing interest in spacefaring vessels was gently encouraged by several teachers and he chose to specialise in this subject for the final two years of his education, even writing a dissertation (with Damien's help) on the development of civilian ships in the Corellian system. He developed a close relationship with his two cousins and the trio could often be seen roaming the streets of central Coronet, exploring its urban metropolis and mingling with other local kids. When Adam was 16 he graduated from school with some distinction and spent the following year working with his mother at the Botanical Gardens. But after this placement was over, Adam discovered that work on Corellia was scarce. From the age of 17 Adam started frequenting Coronet City's various taverns and bars with former schoolfriends and began developing a spice habit. After uncle Lou's death by traffic accident in Year 12, when Adam was 19 and still unemployed, he decided to leave Corellia to pursue his potential. He was also mindful of his family's financial situation, with Cera and Damien now having to support two nieces as well as their son.

Career Beginnings

Armed with several thousand credits, Adam purchased tickets to Coruscant where he'd heard jobs and opportunities were in far greater supply. His roommate was Glees, a 21-year-old Coruscanti who'd once lived on the same apartment block as Adam back in Coronet. The two got along well and often went out to Coruscant's various clubs and casinos, indulging in recreational drug use and general aimless hedonism. During the day Adam worked grim 10 hour shifts as a junior employee at the Emperor Drayson Spaceport, documenting various cargo and confirming routine landing codes. The situation clocked along nicely for just over two standard years and he was even poised for a more senior role as a space traffic controller. Unfortunately, these plans were terminally derailed when one afternoon he returned home to find his apartment repossessed by Coruscant Security Forces, who'd arrested Glees for second offence spice possession. Dejected, homeless and furious with his friend, Adam was forced to quit his job and decided to leave Coruscant, though he was at least happy to now have some serious work experience under his belt. He left with a singular determination. Having watched millions of ships come and go every day for the past couple of years, he was now set on flying them.

Adam spent the following three years travelling the galaxy as a pilot for the Aurodium Legion, which took him on as a trainee. Adam left the Legion a qualified pilot in Year 17 and returned to Coronet, where his mother had fallen gravely ill. He was forced to sell off several newly-acquired assets to finance her extensive medical treatment. Fortunately, she made a full recovery (albeit with lifelong medication needs) and after spending several months with his family Adam was hired by the Core Exchange, or CorEx, as a fully fledged pilot. He worked at CorEx under Geoff Jackson and later Mikel von Bianchi. Though he enjoyed flying greatly and respected the company, Adam grew weary of flying the long and lonely hyperspace journeys that went with the placement. One particularly boring evening, he encountered an Imperial recruitment ad on the Holonet. Something clicked and he realised that his desires and talents might be better utilised in the service of a larger community and its ideals.

The Galactic Empire

Student Life

Adam left CorEx amicably with newfound drive; determined to join the ranks of the Galactic Empire. He enlisted at an Imperial Recruitment Centre back on Coruscant and after answering several questions on his personal and legal history, his application was accepted. What's more, Adam learned he was to be sent to the Empire's Officers Academy for gruellinig training due to his humanity and extensive previous flying experience. Adam was soon dispatched to Prakith where he was assigned to Training Officer Elaine von Veritrax of Imperial Intelligence. He impressed with his zeal and knowledge and was able to score 97% in Volume I of Imperial Basic Training. Following weeks of further practical training on Prakith for Volume II, Adam graduated from the Imperial Academy with Honours and his desire to join the Imperial Navy was swiftly processed by the Empire's Resource Allocation Division.

The Imperial Navy

Adam is currently a member of the Imperial Navy's Starfighter Corps. His specific assignment is classified.
