A Young boy dream

"A boy has the right to dream... There are endless possibilities stretched out before him."

Michelle & Subaru Sakurazuka

Krogane was born in the Year -11, Day 336 on Kiffex where his mother served as a Government official on Kiffex and his father was a military officer within the Galactic Empire both parents believed in the Empire way of life. As a child, Krogane always wanted to explore or want to go into the woods and hunt with his father, he never liked studying or school despite his parents constant nagging for him to do well and concentrate on his education, despite this he somehow seems to pass his classes with low A's to high B's. With his mother working in government Krogane would always get scolded if he did anything that might seem bad to the family or their clan, his father being in the military would do the same but the punishment was more stern then a scolding. One thing the young trouble make hate was from time to time his mother had to make public appearances which meat the family had to 'dress up' stay together and take a crazy amount of pictures for the local news.

At the age of 10 Krogane admire both of his parents for the work they do though he was more interested in shooting, fighting and dressing up in a military uniform as his father then politics, he found the idea borning and could never pay attention during political discussions. One day he begged his father to teach him how to use a blaster so that on their next hunting trip he could help, his mother was against the idea of allowing her child run around with a blaster shooting things. His father manage to talk her into letting their son learn how to use a weapon and some hand to hand combat stating that Krogane could defend himself if the need for it arises. At the age of 15, Krogane became a bit of a marksman able to shoot a target from quite a distance, hand to hand fighting was decent though he knew that he had more to learn. Around this time his father was gone more and more attending to missions he wasn't allowed to discuss with the family through both Krogane and his mother knew it had to do with something about the rebel rising that was being talked about on Kiffex and the news. His mother tried her best to get her son interested in politics even though she knew it wasn't going to work in the end, Krogane already had his dream seat to someday join the Galactic Empire despite her hope that he would stay on Kiffex and not end up on missions that would take him far from his family as his father. A few months later they were visited by few Imperial officials with news of Subaru's death by the rebels, the two was devastated, the head of the Sakurazukamori clan was dead and now Michelle was the new leader of the clan until she either died or hand it over to Krogane. The two were already close but the news of Subaru's death seemed to bring them even closer.

Freelancer for Hire

Krogane:"Wouldn't say I'm mean, I just get paid to do mean things"

Local:"But you like it.."

Krogane:"It's important to enjoy what you do."

- Conversation between Krogane and local on an unknown planet.

Krogane working along side two other Mandalorians

With his lack of interest in politics, Krogane decided that at the age of 18 it was time to leave Kiffex to find his own way in the galaxy. Thanks to him learning how to use a blaster when he was young it didn't take long for him to get a job as a freelancer. After three years Krogane was approached by a bounty hunter in Mandalorian armor, who seems to been looking for the young man he had heard about some of the jobs the young boy did, he wanted to convince Krogane to join him and be a bounty hunter. It didn't take long for Krogane to agree to join, seeing that he would be able to pick his job and the credits were better than that of being a freelancer, he join the Mandalorian to begin his new career. When he finish learning what he needed and finished his armor Krogane started out with small jobs and soon made a name for himself, thanks to this he was able to get more jobs that werw dangerous but had better pay.

Deadly Hunt

Over the years he and a few Mandalorians became close as they continue to take job after job. One particular job Krogane and a friend took on a bounty, they were to look for rouge Chiss that had a skill in explosions and upsetting the wrong group. It took them a few weeks to find the Chiss in question, their trail led them into a building where their target was hiding. Entering the building the two bounty hunters search each and every room, unknown to them the Chiss knew about the build and had already set up explosives beforehand. Krogane and his friend were able to capture the bounty but not before the Chiss set off his explosives causing the building to collapse around them. The last thing Krogane remembered before blacking out was that he felt pain all over though the most intense pain was coming from both of his arms.

Krogane and his friend both survived the explosion his friend had a broken leg and few scratches. While Krogane was injured to the point where he lost both of his arms, which were replace with artificial arms. While the Chiss died by his own explosions he had set in hopes of getting rid of the two that were after him. It took Krogane a several months to recover from his injuries and to get use to his new limbs, once out of the hospital Krogane went back to work for few more months until he decided to follow in his fathers footsteps. Even though Krogane enjoy his work he still wanted to fulfill his dream to join the Galactic Empire. With his mindset, he decided that he was going to go ahead and find a recruitment center. Leaving his now used armor and other belongings with his closes friends Krogane set off into town. It didn't take him long to find a recruiting center, soon Krogane was about to head off to imperial training.
