[[Amos Iakona]] is a former officer of the Naboo Royal Guard who was conscripted into the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. His service eventually terminating as a Scout Trooper, went on to serve as part of a Platoon of SpecForce Rangers (commanded by [[John Glayde]]), stationed aboard the Star Cruiser ''[[Valiant]]''. He is currently on a "break" from his Rebel involvements.
+
'''[[Amos Iakona]]''' is a Jedi Padawan, who resides at the [[Jedi Enclave|Enclave]] on '''[[Ossus]]'''.
  
== Post-[[Reset]] ==
+
Volunteering with the [[Naboo Royal Guard]] on his homeworld, he was drafted into the [[Imperial Stormtrooper Corps|Stormtrooper Corps]], serving as a Scout Trooper for a time before retiring to become a spacer aboard the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' with his Trooper comrade, [[Jaden Luka]]. He eventually joined the [[Rebel Alliance]], where he served with [[Alliance Special Forces|SpecForce]] as a Pathfinder. After discovering his Jedi heritage he requested a transfer to [[The Wheel]], and eventually took an extended leave of absence to join the Jedi in establishing their new Enclave on Ossus.
  
[[image:Amos-Iakona-1.jpg|thumb|left| Corporal Amos Iakona]]
+
Amos can often be found piloting the ''Astral Queen'', and accompanied by his droid companion, [[Trip]].
Very protective of his past, Amos tends to avoid sharing information about his background where possible. What is known is that he was born on Naboo, and served at a young age in the Naboo Royal Guard before being drafted into the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. He served as a basic Stormtrooper first as part of the Naboo Garrison, and then later on deployment elsewhere in the galaxy. While serving as part of the Batallion aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer, he achieved the rank of Sergeant. At some point he managed to get himself on the wrong side of a few senior officers, and was eventually reassigned to Ord Varee where he was relegated to the Garrison Commander's least favourite Scout Trooper unit.
+
  
While serving with the Scout Troopers, Sergeant Iakona commanded a four-man Lancer - the same Lancer to which Imperial Academy hopeful [[Jaden Luka]] had been assigned as an intern, hoping to gain some prior experience with the Imperial forces that would set him in better stead when he joined the Academy. Amos and Jaden became good friends, mainly because of the way Jaden's innocent questions about proceedure and tactics kept showing up their somewhat incompetant Platoon Commander.
+
== History ==
 +
Amos Iakona grew up on Naboo, believing that his parents were a dull and boring couple. Though eager to escape the monotony of his Keren upbringing, Amos was neither ambitious nor imaginative as a child: his aspirations of escape involved following his father's footsteps into the [[Naboo Royal Guard]], in the hopes of being assigned somewhere more interesting on the planet. That plan was derailed when Amos was conscripted into the [[Imperial Stormtrooper Corps|Stormtrooper Corps]], an environment that Amos struggled to adapt to, and quickly found himself relegated to a disciplinary Scout Trooper unit under the command of [[Ethan Tahmores]]. Though his superiors hoped he would insubordinate his way out of service - a plan that Amos was not opposed to at the time - he banded together with fellow troopers [[John Glayde]], [[Jaden Luka]], and [[Oran Jsorra]], and served out the remainder of his tour with moderate distinction.
  
When Jaden's father died and their unit commander withdrew his sponsorship of Jaden's application to the Academy, Amos was quick to leap to his defense. Unfortunately, his rather heavy-handed approach saw him given the choice to either resign or face a dishonourable discharge. Amos chose the latter, and joined Jaden aboard his new ship: the ''Astral Queen''.
+
Once his mandatory service with the Empire was over, he and Jaden Luka pooled their earnings to purchase the ''[[Astral Queen]]'' - a run down but serviceable YT-2000 Freighter - and embarked on a "simpler" life as traders. It proved more difficult than they had imagined, and while both managed a modest existence for several years, both eventually jumped at the opportunity to join the [[Rebel Alliance]]. While Jaden embarked on a path that led to elite starfighter pilot status with [[Rogue Squadron]], Amos joined a SpecForce unit led by former comrade John Glayde, becoming a Sergeant in the Pathfinders.
  
==== The Rebel Alliance ====
+
After a chance encounter with the Montegue family and his father, Amos discovered that his parents were far less simple than he had been led to believe. His father was a [[Mandalorian]] warrior, one of the ''[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cuy'val_Dar Cuy'val Dar]'' who helped to train the Republic's clone troopers; and his mother had once been part of the Jedi Order, but had left when she failed to be selected as a Padawan. Aware that he had the potential to use the Force, Amos sought refuge with the Jedi, first aboard [[The Wheel]], and then later at the [[Jedi Enclave]] on [[Ossus]]. With the Jedi he had the opportunity to meet his nephew, [[Wyl Staedtler]]; and eventually constructed his own lightsaber, using the crystal that his mother had once used and wore as a pendant when Amos was a child.
  
Amos and Jaden became involved with the Rebel Alliance after their ship fell foul of an Imperial patrol. Fortunately an Alliance vessel was on-hand to assist, and kindly agreed to assist the duo in repairing their ship. Amos found the entire situation uncomfortable: while he had been aware as a Stormtrooper that the way the Empire handled its business was wrong, he wasn't willing to turn himself into a "terrorist" in order to oppose those actions; it was one thing to turn on an abstract ideal, but another to turn on the people who you had previously put your life on the line for.
+
In [[10 ABY]], Amos responded to a call for assistance from [[Beskade Goza|Mandalore the Liberator]], assisting in the liberation of the planet [[Mandalore]] from Imperial occupation. Though Amos now actively attempts to follow the Mandalorian Codex and integrate that aspect of his heritage into his life, he struggles to juggle between those beliefs, his Jedi teachings, and the influence that the Empire and the Rebellion have had on him.
  
After exposure to the crew of the ''Valiant'' however, Amos agreed to lend his expertise to part of the ship's SpecForce contingent, joining Red Squad on a mission to commendeer an Imperial Transport. While there he intervened in the breakdown of the Squad's leader, preventing the needless deaths of both the Civilian crew and the Imperials aboard. Impressed with his morals, Amos was eventually appointed leader of Gold Squad, a unit of SpecForce Rangers. ([http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18152 Ride of the Valkyries])

 +
In the future, Amos had become Commander of Clan Koine, and had settled on [[Susevfi]]. He was a respected member of the community, and his Mandalorians had become an unofficial militia, helping with defense, law enforcement, and also routine tasks like building and agriculture. The [[Inyos Aamoran|Saarai-kaar]] considered him to be part of his extended family.
  
Amos assisted his unit commander - [[John Glayde]] - later that year, helping him track down a childhood friend who was in serious need of their help. ([http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18524 A Friend in Need])

Amos Iakona is a Jedi Padawan, who resides at the Enclave on Ossus.

Volunteering with the Naboo Royal Guard on his homeworld, he was drafted into the Stormtrooper Corps, serving as a Scout Trooper for a time before retiring to become a spacer aboard the Astral Queen with his Trooper comrade, Jaden Luka. He eventually joined the Rebel Alliance, where he served with SpecForce as a Pathfinder. After discovering his Jedi heritage he requested a transfer to The Wheel, and eventually took an extended leave of absence to join the Jedi in establishing their new Enclave on Ossus.

Amos can often be found piloting the Astral Queen, and accompanied by his droid companion, Trip.

History

Amos Iakona grew up on Naboo, believing that his parents were a dull and boring couple. Though eager to escape the monotony of his Keren upbringing, Amos was neither ambitious nor imaginative as a child: his aspirations of escape involved following his father's footsteps into the Naboo Royal Guard, in the hopes of being assigned somewhere more interesting on the planet. That plan was derailed when Amos was conscripted into the Stormtrooper Corps, an environment that Amos struggled to adapt to, and quickly found himself relegated to a disciplinary Scout Trooper unit under the command of Ethan Tahmores. Though his superiors hoped he would insubordinate his way out of service - a plan that Amos was not opposed to at the time - he banded together with fellow troopers John Glayde, Jaden Luka, and Oran Jsorra, and served out the remainder of his tour with moderate distinction.

Once his mandatory service with the Empire was over, he and Jaden Luka pooled their earnings to purchase the Astral Queen - a run down but serviceable YT-2000 Freighter - and embarked on a "simpler" life as traders. It proved more difficult than they had imagined, and while both managed a modest existence for several years, both eventually jumped at the opportunity to join the Rebel Alliance. While Jaden embarked on a path that led to elite starfighter pilot status with Rogue Squadron, Amos joined a SpecForce unit led by former comrade John Glayde, becoming a Sergeant in the Pathfinders.

After a chance encounter with the Montegue family and his father, Amos discovered that his parents were far less simple than he had been led to believe. His father was a Mandalorian warrior, one of the Cuy'val Dar who helped to train the Republic's clone troopers; and his mother had once been part of the Jedi Order, but had left when she failed to be selected as a Padawan. Aware that he had the potential to use the Force, Amos sought refuge with the Jedi, first aboard The Wheel, and then later at the Jedi Enclave on Ossus. With the Jedi he had the opportunity to meet his nephew, Wyl Staedtler; and eventually constructed his own lightsaber, using the crystal that his mother had once used and wore as a pendant when Amos was a child.

In 10 ABY, Amos responded to a call for assistance from Mandalore the Liberator, assisting in the liberation of the planet Mandalore from Imperial occupation. Though Amos now actively attempts to follow the Mandalorian Codex and integrate that aspect of his heritage into his life, he struggles to juggle between those beliefs, his Jedi teachings, and the influence that the Empire and the Rebellion have had on him.

Years From Now

In the future, Amos had become Commander of Clan Koine, and had settled on Susevfi. He was a respected member of the community, and his Mandalorians had become an unofficial militia, helping with defense, law enforcement, and also routine tasks like building and agriculture. The Saarai-kaar considered him to be part of his extended family.

Personality

Family

Amos is estranged from his father, who he blames for hiding the truth about his parents' true nature. That belief is compounded by the fact that his mother (supposedly) died while he was young, and as much as he tries to embrace the Jedi Order, he regrets never having been able to know that aspect of his mother; though the Force ghost of his uncle, Mandan Hidatsa, has appeared to him on occasion to help him understand the kind of woman his mother truly was.

Despite his paternal animosity, Amos does respect the Mandalorian traditions of his heritage - or at least, as best as he can given his understanding of them - and regards the other members of Clan Koine as extended family. Amos extends that concept of a "clan" to the close personal friends he has formed within the Alliance and the Jedi, and so regards John Glayde, Jaden Luka, Desmond Nil'vak and Cleo Némain as part of his extended family as well.
