Josef 'Sarge' DeLaurel is a Staff Flight Sergeant currently serving in the Imperial Navy as Operations Adjunct in the 8th Imperial Fleet. He joined the Navy after a personal reformation, following years of gang warfare, illegal goods smuggling and other misdemeanours. Having served staunchly for some time he has gained a reputation for blind rage and a no nonsense regard to discipline as well as a fanatical loyalty to the Emperor.

Childhood

Josef was born on Coruscant, widely considered the centre of the civilised galaxy. Coruscant 9, the city he hails from, however is a undercity slum district and he was born, the eldest of two, into a life of crime and gang warfare. Both his parents were gang members but this itself paints a false picture. To many within the slums being in a gang wasn't just a fall back due to poverty, it was a way of life. Josef childhood was fairly sheltered from the criminal effects of his parent's and his early childhood was fairly unimpeded by the endless drug dealing, smuggling and gang warfare.

Teenage Years

Upon reaching the age of thirteen Josef's parents began introducing him into their gang proper. As a youth his role was minor, running small errands and generally getting underfoot of the older members. His strong will and fiery temperment often got him got him into scrapes but it was at the age of sixteen that he got his first real taste of the endless inter-gang warfare.

Whilst helping load up an export of stolen arms a rival gang decided to seize the shipment and carried out a raid on the hanger where Josef, along with several other gangers were boxing up the weapons. Josef's bloodlust was first properly awakened by the combat and he bludgeoned several of the raiders to death with a crowbar as they rushed into the hanger. Faced with an overwhelming force his elders managed to manhandle him to safety before he could be killed by the raiders.

It was at this point that his skill in close combat was first noticed by his gang, and his parents, and by the time he turned nineteen he was regularly participating in ship raids in the immense clouds of traffic orbiting Corsucant. Although not an excellent shot with a blaster, determination, and eventually experience, coupled with his seemingly instictive feel for combat had him leading his first boarding action just prior to his twentieth birthday.

A Gallofree Medium Transport called "Tarsus III" had entered the Coruscant system on a smuggling run for a rival gang. Josef's group was tipped off of it's imminent arrival and Josef was selected to lead a small strike force to seize the vessel and try to run the Coruscant system's authorities themselves, delivering the goods to his own gang.
