Difference between revisions of "Zachariah Jak'el"

With only a few living relatives remaining, Zak was shuttled back to Naboo and sent to live with his Grandma; Nala Kirkbaine. He returned to working the fields, this time living outside of the city of Kadaara. It was here that an Imperial Recruiting campaign came and began recruiting new soldiers to serve as Storm Troopers and TIE pilots. Many of Zak's friends volunteered and Zak along with them. He wanted to get away from Naboo and he wanted to accomplish something in his life other than just being a farmer. He had no flying experience but proved to be a hard learned as he was placed in the TIE Fighter program and quickly rushed through training. In his first space battle most of Zak's friends perished, and over the next year the rest died off. Zach survived all of these battles, even being shot down once but surviving with only moderate injuries. What he lacked in natural talent he quickly made up with experience as he survived a dozen dogfights and was promoted into the TIE Interceptor squadrons. After a few more skirmishes he was selected to replace a recently deceased pilot in the elite Shadow Squadron. As the new Shadow Nine, Zak is the youngest and most inexperienced among the other pilots.

Throughout it all, Zachariah managed to retain his religious views as well as finding time to worship the Goddess Shiraya, the lunar god of Naboo.
