Biography

Birth

Alex D. Macer was the son of Outer rim explorers Sharona Macer and her husband Dragonad Macer, Captain of the starship Triumph. He was born aboard the Triumph’s medical bay, in the midst of an unprovoked attack by the Rebel Alliance. With the aid of the Imperial Navy, the severely crippled Triumph was able to succesfully ward of the cowardous Rebel attack. But the attack left the Triumph with heavy hull damage. The ship's crew was not able to keep the ship airbourne and were forced to crashland on the desert planet of Tatooine.

Early life

Macer was raised in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine. At the age of 10, his parents divorced and both remarried, leaving young Macer emotionally scarred. Stuck in between two households, young Alex Macer slowly started to grow rebellious. By the time Macer reached the age of 16, he possessed an extensive criminal record and had also been in jail for Swoop theft and Joyriding. At age 20, Macer left the sand dunes of Tatooine far behind and traveled to Kuat.

On Kuat, Macer worked as a freelance welder for Kuat Drive Yards and assisted in the construction of Imperial Star Destroyers.

Enlistment in the Galactic Empire

Despite performing on several Imperial aptitude tests at levels too high to be scored, Macer had no sense of purpose. This however changed. At a shipyard bar on Kuat, Macer witnessed the beating of an Imperial officer, whom had agreed to testify against three of his corrupt colleagues. The bar's patrons moved away from the scene, too cowardous and powerless to intervene. There was one who stepped forth. Macer broke the officers apart and received severe beatings, resulting into a broken nose and jaw. Two of the three corrupt Imperials were hospitalized.

This bravery caught the attention of an Imperial recruiter. Macer was offered a spot in the Imperial Academy, he accepted.

Imperial Career

During his stay at the Imperial Academy, Macer trained under Ensign Vrogard Delahon. Macer's desire to become a naval officer is widely known throughout the Academy and his ambition and opportunities often envied by fellow students. After his graduation and with a 90% score, Macer was assigned to the Imperial Navy at the rank [E-2] Cadet. During his first deployment, Macer befriended Bersh Mored.
