Biography:
Sunset
Jacor was found wrapped in a snug white bundle of blankets on the doorstep of a small building at a remote moisture farm in the south of the brutal Jundland Wastes located on the planet Tatooine as a small newborn baby. The owners of the farm who were named Jexter Tordek and Sarla Tordek a middle class couple aged in their mid twenties that were both 5th generation Tatooinian's. Being the good people that they were, they decided to take him in and raised the small child as their own. Days later they decided to name him Jacor and also gave him their own surname, Tordek. Throughout his life, he helped his father with working on the moisture evaporators whilst pushing through the intensity of the desert heat and persistent sandstorms to assisting his mother with cleaning the insides of the family home, helping water the plant life, and cooking for the family and the occasional visitors from neighboring moisture farms. Nearing the tail end of his early childhood, his father provided him with a blaster rifle and told him to go and clear out nearby wamp rats that had attempted to damage his moisture evaporators. Jacor dutifully followed his father's command and had on numerous occasions wiped out the vermin with one or two shots needed for the death of the creatures. After awhile, he developed decent skills with shooting in general and greatly enjoyed the thrill it provided.
As Jacor aged from his adolescence to his later childhood years, he grew strong from the constant work and good food his adopted parents provided him with and acquired a strong sense of moral values and great work ethic. Through his life, he attended primary, middle and secondary school at the neighboring school named "The School of Anchorhead" a fairly good educational institution catering kids with their from kinder garden, primary, middle and high school in the well known desert city and elsewhere. During his time there he met many different sentients composed of different races and cultures and met some good friends. Upon completion of his education with above average grades in all subjects, especially in information technology which he found he had a knack for, as well as physical education where he graduated in with honours in his class. Time passed and after celebrations with other classmates he decided to continue to assist his parents with their household activities without them requesting it as he felt it was the right thing to do since they provided him with an honest upbringing.
The Militia
Time quickly passed and at the age of 17 he noticed an advertisement for the Tatooine Militia and gave it some thought. Initially, he really liked the idea of doing a job that involved weapons and physical activity and soon after decided to join and soon after received a notification for his assessment day.
With the standard testing expected of an aspiring member of a paramilitary force done, he was given the "all clear" and was assigned to Alpha Squad, 3rd Platoon, of the 1st Jundland Waste's Infantry Company which numbered one hundred men in total. The newly recruited individual was assigned the rank of "Recruit". During his time there he received "on the job" training that an Infantryman would get and he excelled in small arms related activities as well as basic navigation, camouflage and field craft training and physical fitness sessions and assessments. Whilst serving, he was noted by his company commander Captain Raknar Ordek for having "great potential" and this was mentioned to his superiors who then decided to promote him to the rank of Private, signifying his full transition from a civilian to a member of the Tatooinian Militia.
One day his squad of twelve soldiers was tasked with guarding a moisture farm and came under attack by a huge party of fifty Tusken Raiders, some on Banthas. With a firm order, his Squad Leader, Sergeant Delton Mardek ordered the squad in a strategic defensive formation around the moisture farm and the unit's Radioman to call in for support. Moving into position near the white ledge opposite the depths of the desert, Tordek aimed his blaster rifle into the distance and scanned the horizon for any enemy forces as the squad did the same and the Radioman moved back to quickly call in the likely much needed ground support. Soon after, a hail of Tusken Raider war cries were heard and the Tusken's quickly converged upon their positions from all sides. Hastily, Jacor shot over a dozen down with pinpoint accuracy, scoring a few head shots as his fellow squad mates also took some of the enemy down themselves. But the worst was yet to come as the Raiders continued to attack the squad and overwhelmed it and killed many of them. With a desperate order, Sergeant Mardek ordered the final four of squad into the Farmer's building to protect the family alongside the Father. Jacor immediately accepted this order and proceeded with his Sergeant and his fellow squad members into the structure.
They soon after barricaded themselves in the structure with different kinds of furniture but were once again overwhelmed by the Tuskens. Out of ammunition, they drew their vibro blades as they heard ship's fly overhead. Without wasting a second, they engaged and killed numerous Tusken Raiders in close blade to gaderffii stick combat. At the end of it, Jacor, his Sergeant, the Radioman and two other squad members were left standing and woundless. They had fought like hell and saved the family. Sadly though, dad was dead. Reinforcements soon after arrived and assisted them with clearing out the remaining Tuskens and tending to the injured and dead.
After this encounter the squad were given "Rest and Recuperation" R&R for short for a month. During this time, Jacor spent time in Anchorhead, back at home, and exploring The Dune Sea. Now and then he would meet Jawa's and other moisture farmers and developed good relations with them. After about a year in the Militia, Jacor got a notice from his commander for a meeting. At the meeting, the seasoned duo discussed in detail his service history and life spent at home and suggested along with his Sergeant that he join the Army of the Republic which was noted as a professional military organization similar to the Militia. Jacor sadly thought this over and agreed. Soon after, he informed his family, friends and squad mates and was then shipped off to an Army of the Republic military base for the needed testing to see if he had what it took to serve in the legendary organization.
Army of the Republic
Some time passed and he was soon after shipped off to the militaristic planet of Carida. With an anxious wait for around a month which he spent working out at a local gym and resting, Jacor was finally given the chance to attend Basic Combat Training. Also known as "Basic". At this place he learnt most of what he learnt in the Militia and graduated twelve weeks later as an Infantryman but with a special "Reconnaissance" designation given due to his prior service in the paramilitary organization and his excellent performance in Basic. Soon afterwards, he was given Advanced Infantry Training which consisted of learning several infantry related skills ranging from advanced infantry tactics, advanced field craft, advanced camouflaging and concealment, and use of infantry weaponry and equipment. The course was commonly referred to as "AIT" and ran for five weeks. At the end of the course he graduated with honours and was named "the best in his platoon" by his superiors.
After that, he was assigned to the Reconnaissance Course also known as "RC" and spent fifteen weeks there. In this place he learned and practiced numerous specialized military communications with basic and advanced military equipment also ranging from specialized small arms, from light to heavy weapons and grenades all the way to demolitions training, instinctive weapons handling, basic and advanced speeder as well as ground vehicle based training. In addition to this, he learned and trained in squad based tactics to airborne insertion methods like HAHO and HALO and even underwater military diving techniques and with advanced re-breather aquatic equipment tactics of insertion and exfiltration to basic and advanced camouflage, field craft, stalking as well as basic and advanced reconnaissance techniques all in jungle, snow, desert and space based warfare training and methods centering on squad and platoon based tactics. Additionally, he learnt and practiced highly sort after assassination, reconnaissance, and VIP protection training all to make him a "highly specialized and extremely capable" soldier of the Republic Army.
Once more, he graduated with honours and was noted as having a "rarely seen level of physical fitness, reflexes and obsession to win at all costs". He was also given a dog tag which stated: "RT-3018" The RT for Reconnaissance Trooper and 3018 for his serial coded identification number. Tordek also spared a long thought for his friends and family, realizing he'd likely not see them again due to the intensity and longevity of military service life.
Time once again passed and he was assigned with the rank of Private to his platoon sized unit of sixty Soldiers. The unit was officially designated as: "Alpha Platoon, Rancor Company, 6th Reconnaissance Battalion, 8th Republican Army Brigade, 3rd Corps." His platoon which almost always partook in military operations as a sole body and seldom ever broke off into smaller groups of Soldiers was led by Lieutenant Zaydor Tarkal, a seasoned and grizzly former enlisted man who dubbed the unit the "Raging Rancor's". Time passed as they constantly honed their skills and soon after this they were tasked with proceeding to the planetary capital of the Republic, Coruscant. There they preformed urban reconnaissance on hostile Imperial and criminal forces centered around the Senatorial and Jedi Temple sections of the city. Time passed and their objectives were accomplished with no casualties over an intense six month deployment.
Once more, they were assigned this time to the planet Tatooine. Jacor's home planet. Secretly, he was glad to return "home." The unit was assigned to the Dune Sea area of operations and were ordered to split up into small squads of twelve Troopers each. Tordek, outfitted in far superior equipment compared to his Militia days utilizing his customized blaster rifle to scan the surrounding area with it's advanced optics and noticed a party of Tusken Raiders. He quickly alerted his squad and soon after the unit engaged the enemy. With even better precision, the man destroyed the violent monsters with his squad with relative ease. But worse trouble was brewing. A nearby Imperial infantry platoon had heard the blaster fire and engaged their position. With a swift and well placed order, the squad commander gave orders for the unit to spread out and engage the Imperials in open combat as they engaged the squad with accurate blaster rifle fire from a couple of hundred meters away. Hastily maneuvering away from the fire, the unit had taken some casualties and had just seven men left but was soon after reinforced by the entire platoon. The big brother had come to save the day as the large unit commenced cleaning up the now scattered and obliterated enemy unit of Imperial soldiers. All the soldiers cheered. The battle was won. The Imperials were all defeated and the Republican Army infantry platoon suffered only twelve dead in total.
Soon after a huge wave of the vicious beasts numbering about a hundred engaged their position and the unit was given the order to retreat to a nearby urban area encased within the sand. With great effort, the Republican Soldiers defended the position against constant Tusken assaults, held their position and repelled the enemy entirely, for now. The Lieutenant then gave the order for Private Tordek and his squad of now 12 members to proceed ahead as the Platoon provided them with overhead cover as they advanced. The unit advanced as ordered but were then faced with another group of Tuskens who suddenly zipped up out of the ground and they then charged. The men engaged them at point blank range with blaster cannon and blaster rifle fire but were overwhelmed bar Tordek. He expertly engaged and killed every last Tusken Raider with his rifle's bayonet and then was faced with the remaining one who eyed him off. Tordek dropped his rifle realizing it had run out of ammunition and that the bayonet was detached off of it and removed his combat knife. The monster lunged forward and smashed into him. Jacor took advantage of this and stabbed into it's chest, but with no luck. The monster smashed him to the ground and the man quickly wrestled it off of him and got to his feet as it sprung up to meet him. The man stabbed, slashed and headbutted the beast as it tore at him giving him non serious cuts and bruises with it's gaderffii, knocking his combat knife from his grip. He then resorted to beating the beast with his fist, punching it and smashing his head against it's own once more and the fight decayed into a slugging match. Tordek heard fighting in the distance as he quickly refocused on the monster and killed him with his own bare hands, smashing it's face and neck inwards, finally killing it.
Tordek's commander came right afterwards and informed him that evac also known as "evacuation" had arrived. A military shuttle flew overhead and quickly landed, picking up what was rest of the unit and taking them off the brutal planet as Trex looked on past the squad bay of the ship as he held onto the overhead railing and watching the battlefield fade away into the distance as they ascended upwards into the smoky, hot and humid sky away from the war torn battle ground littered with bodies signifying the carnage that had enveloped it.
Time slowly passed and Jacor Tordek stayed with his unit at the Republic Fleet and rested. Their mission had been accomplished. The Private was soon after awarded a Republican Bronze Star for his heroic, ferocious and ceaseless performance in combat on the planet of Tatooine as well as a promotion to Private First Class and was unofficially given the nick name "Raider" by his superiors for his fierceness in combat that resembled a Tusken Raider's. With great pride Jacor accepted the award during a relatively private ceremony aboard Carrick Station. But at the age of twenty and after two years of total military service the galaxy once again had other plans for him..
The Jedi Order:
Jacor was approached by a Jedi named Sylax Kerdl and force tested out of the blue. After being found to be force sensitive he was asked to join the Jedi Order. The man regretfully accepted and hated having to leave his unit behind but being advised but some of his close family members, squad mates, his unit commander, and regretfully his squad commander that he would be serving at his "fullest potential" as a member of the Jedi Order.
After a quick induction into The Jedi Order the rather unorthodox "Jedi" quickly flew through the various learning and testing and became a Jedi and rose through the ranks and eventually was given the rank of Jedi Knight. The man was tasked with numerous activities both covert and overt which ranged from helping those in need with technical related and social problems, defeating darksiders, preforming reconnaissance, sabotaging enemy equipment, training guerrilla fighters and even assassinations of highly dangerous individuals ranging from Imperials military forces to force users like Sith.
Nowadays he is travelling across the galaxy from the blistering heat of the sand dunes of Tatooine, to the snow ridden lands and biting cold of Hoth and into the vast and heavily armed space stations spanning across the galaxy, all in the name of accomplishing missions at any cost on behalf of the Jedi Order and the Republic.
