Biography

Rawther Den was born on Coruscant to Hiro Den and Myra Trane on Y-25 D227 in City 123.

Before Imperial Service

Both his parents were originally contractors with a small fleet of freighters for hire. The specialised in transportation of perishable or potentially dangerous goods.

At the age of 4 his parents got a well-paid contract in the Outer Rim and subsequently moved from assignment to assignment. Rawther lived with them, spending most of his childhood aboard freighters and other ships. While it was not the happiest of childhood, he learnt to pilot freighters early on, helping his father with his assignments. His mother, an adept technician and mechanic, taught him a lot about propulsion and machinery.

At the age of 12 Rawther could already pilot smaller freighters and would take on smaller ship-to-ship transports, as well as routine trips in secure space. While being on what seemed another routine trip, he encountered a hyperspace anomaly. The load his ship was carrying, an unknown substance, reacted strangely with the anomaly and catapulted his ship into a distant region of the galaxy. This incident left him stranded in a remote backwater sector of the galaxy. While trying to get back, he was forced to take care of himself in order to survive. It took him over four years to reach the region of space in which the accident occurred. During all of this time he tried to get in touch with his parents, but to no avail.

Learning it the hard way, he realised that finding someone in the Galaxy is not an easy task. Even though he would still search for his parents, he was still take contracts to get by. Since his parents were nowhere to be found and he could not get any info, he decided to join with a small enterprise called 'Daily Express', a small transporting faction. In the following years he changed his employers more often than his underwear and tried to get assignments near his home-world of Coruscant in the hope to get ahold of his parents.

Shortly after his 18th birthday he joined the Coruscant Merchant fleet and served aboard larger freighters and capitals. His work allowed him to return to the Core Region, where his search would continue. When reaching 22 Rawther would retire from being a freighter pilot and joined a larger corporation in the hope to intensify his search, since through those channels he hoped for better intel. As time passed by, and since info was not easily to come by (or was expensive) he turned his attention to R&D.

It was during this time that he had the chance to study and learn from his Mentor, Sern Ya'ki, a master scientist; crazy, maybe, but a genius of sorts. During his field-trips and when being on vacation he would always try to get back to Coruscant and check for his parents.

After several years of apprenticeship with Ya'ki Rawther finally was a fully flagged researcher. His speciality was development of medical and research facilities. And while joining up with the Coruscant Home Guard as technician he discovered that he possessed a keen sense for tactics and battle. During an assignment as junior security adviser he met an Imperial Recruitment officer who offered him a career in with the Galactic Empire. While already older than the average recruit, Rawther was rather experienced and the Recruitment Officer suggested that the Empire was always in need of skilled technicians, and due to this intercession that allowed Rawther to join the Empire.

While in Imperial Service Rawther was able to access several data-banks and draw upon the vast intel-apparatus the Empire provided. Intel was not clear, but he found out that his parents were still alive, since they have been working for the Empire as sub-contractors not too long ago, their current whereabouts were shrouded in mystery, however. From the data he gathered he found out that his parents were not only alive, but also that he has siblings, several years his junior. Perhaps one day he'll be able to find his long lost family, or at least learn about their fate.

Imperial Service

Shortly after submitting his application, Den was admitted to the Imperial Academy. While being older than the normal applicant and recruit, Den managed to blend in, mostly due to his past experience in the filed. It was his professor at the Academy, MFSGT Dregoth, who sparked in Den the desire to join the Navy, a more than logical step for a freighter pilot.

Den passed most courses as one of the best in his class. Ironically, he almost did not pass classes on Basic Construction and Engineering, considering the fact that he later turned out to be quite a builder and engineer.

Shortly before the announcement of his final score Den was quite agitated, since he hoped to be permitted to work for the governmental branch of the Empire. To his surprise he was transferred to the Imperial Navy, a fateful change of direction.

Being an Imperial Pilot was very different than working for private companies and held many surprises in stock. One of his first assignments was the ominous Tax Planet Scylla, an undertaking of titanic proportions by members of the Imperial Union. It was during this time that he met OVRSR Crow and JPRE Varos, becoming good friends with both of them. Scylla was no ordinary Tax Planet, it was a monumental effort. The Empire, along with the Hapes Consortium and Mandalore worked tirelessly on this project and managed to colonise a gas giant, an endeavour though impossible by critics. Den's work on Scylla earned him a several commendations and kick-started his career in Engineering.
