Social status:
Condar and his family have been of middle class income for most of his life. Recently his parents shipping business has boomed and new wealth has found the way to his family, with mixed results.
Significant events of childhood:
Condar grew up safe, in a safe system, far away from the conflicts of the galaxy. His family owned an Action V bulk freighter, The Sassis, and with it they made a living shipping goods through-out the local system. Condar and his siblings, Venix and Kitera, were raised on that ship and each of them grew up loving the life in the stars.
The Sovar family's life was ordinary, but happy. All three siblings grew up learning about every system on the freighter. Navik allowed them to begin learning how to pilot the ship once they were ten. And by sixteen they knew every bolt and screw on that ship. The biggest conflicts they had were over who would get to pilot on that day.
Significant events of adulthood:
Around the time that Condar turned nineteen (22 ABY) the family had saved up enough for an older Action IV freighter, this one named Sovar's Pride, and full compliment of droids. This would allow the siblings a ship of their own. It was a huge responsibility however Navik and Fraya knew their children were ready for it.
For the next few years everything was going very well. The new addition to the "fleet" brought in enough extra credits for the family to splurge every now and then. Condar ended up buying an old scrapped Y-TIE. He spent most of his off-time repairing and learning to fly it. Star fighters are a whole different beast than a bulk freighter but over time Condar began to be a competent fighter pilot.
In 26 ABY the Sovar's first learned of the Yuuzhan Vong and the newest war that they hoped would ignore them, like the others. It was also the year that Navik negotiated a government contract hauling goods from Xeroth to all Xerothian interests in the Folw system. This allowed them to buy several BFF-1 bulk freighters. This gave each of the Sovar siblings a boat of their own, if they wanted it. Venix jumped at the chance however Kitera didn't want to be away from family. She ended up drifting from ship to ship and usually "taking" over when she was aboard, just to "keep fresh" she said. And so it went for two more years of peace and prosperity.
In the early months of 28 ABY strange things started happening in the Folw system. The gravity between Xeroth and it's moon, Xeroth Minor, began to increase causing terrible storms and wildlife to panic. Peculiar craft were seen piloting in and out of the system, but no one could catch a good look. Two space stations in the outer limits of the system stopped being heard from. A few days later a ship never scene before in the system dropped out of hyperspace above Xeroth, an Imperial Star Destroyer.
The ISD sent out a general alert to all frequencies. This was the ISD-II Challenge, they were monitoring a Yuuzhan Vong strike fleet operating in the sector and confirmed they are currently infiltrating the Xeroth system. The Challenge then began to pelt the surface of Xeroth Minor with it's turbolasers. Minutes later a Vong fleet appeared in-system. The Challenge, and Wing X both fought fiercely in that battle, protecting those they could from the onslaught.
Condar and Kitera were both onboard Sovar's Pride at the time of the invasion. Unfortunately for them they were also in orbit of Xeroth. When the Vong fleet arrived there were only several dozen kilometers from the siblings. They immediately tried to go to hyperspace but an artificial gravity well had already been activated. The freighter had a couple of blaster cannons, but nothing that could hold back any Vong ship. So Condar made the decision to get in his Y-TIE and defend the Pride as best he could. Thanks to the Challenge the bulk freighter wasn't a priority target for the Vong quite yet. Condar checked his subpar radar for any trace of any of the families other vessels but it was a mess of Vong and Imperial fighters and he couldn't cut through all the new vessels.
The Sovar's Pride was making it's way at sub-light to the opposite side of Xeroth from the battle when a couple of Vong coralskippers started making it's way toward them. Condar had never been in battle before, never shot in anger, never even hurt another person and now he knows he has to kill or be killed, or even worse: his sister may die. Condar turned his antiquated ship around and began flying directly at the skips. Everything slowed down around Condar, he found himself counting stars, a dozen or more for every breath he took. The fighters came in range and Condar held down the trigger. Every bolt was swallowed by the Yorik-et's defenses. The Vong didn't even bother firing back, they just raced past Condar's Y-TIE and barreled toward the freighter. Condar inverted his craft and put all the power to the engines. He could tell it would be too late, that even if he had weapons that would work on the skip, they would make the freight ship far sooner than he could get back in range. Condar felt such regret at that moment, but suddenly there were two bright flashes of light and the coralskippers started breaking apart. From his left and right Condar saw two fighters that looked to him like bulkier TIE-Bombers. They flew along past the freighter and as fast as they came they went back into the swarm. Condar caught up with the Pride and they made it to the opposite side of the planet without further harassment.
The Challenge and it's fighter Wing successfully drove off the Vong after a prolonged battle over the planet Xeroth. There were many casualties, especially civilian. The Vong fired on the planet as they retreated and their coralskippers began targeting civilian ships more and more the last few hours of the battle. The Challenge stayed in-system for a week, helping the planet get back on track and updating the populace about the latest from the war. Included in that was ways to update missile and torpedo to detonate just before impact on a skip as that was one of the best ways to bypass the yorik basin defenses. During that week Condar was able to confirm that none of his family was hurt in the conflict. In fact they would come to profit as many of the other local shipping concerns had lost ships in the invasion.
Before the ISDII Challenge left Condar wanted to thank the two pilots who had saved his sister's, and most likely his, life. Unfortunately he was never able to contact them, or even get their names, all he could find out is that they were two pilots in Tempest Squadron. He did vow to one day make sure they were thanked properly. Condar had never had dealings with the Empire or the Republic, but they always called the Empire the bad guys, maybe that wasn't the whole truth.
The next three years saw the Sovar's helping to clean-up and restore Xeroth to it's roots as well as a shipping company could. It was in those three years that they first had to expand from local system shipping to sector-wide freight. This expansion caused the company grow astronomically in the first several months. Navik soon had to stop piloting just to administrate the twenty-odd ship fleet he now controlled. Condar and Venix happily kept making cargo runs, knowing each run was getting goods to those who needed it at home. And it was quiet. The New Republic and the Jedi defeated the Vong, and there has not been a whisper of conflict in their corner of space.
Condar knew now was the time. It had been three years, he made a vow to thank those pilots, and he wasn't going to break it. It was quiet and his family was doing great. Condar said his goodbyes to his family and started his search for the ISD Challenge and the Emperor's Hammer.
Alignment and attitude:
Condar is a pretty easy going guy, doesn't take himself to seriously, but always keeps a promise. He doesn't know much about galactic politics, but the Emperor's Hammer saved his sister's life, and that's all he needs to know.
Previous occupations:
Condar was a Captain/Pilot of several freighters for his family's shipping business.
Hobbies
Condar likes to tinker and repair old fighters/freighters.
Tragedies in life:
Condar's one major tragedy is the Yuuzhan Vong attack on his homeworld, Xeroth. Many people died needlessly, but there were also real heroes that day that Condar respects greatly.
Phobias and allergies:
Condar is allergic to nerf dander.
Views on the Empire and the Emperor's Hammer:
Condar's home system of Folw was completely isolated from the vast majority of wars over the last century. As such Condar didn't have much of an opinion of the Empire or the Republic. However the Emperor's Hammer was there to help when Xeroth was invaded, and so he greatly respects them.
Reason for enlisting in the Emperor's Hammer:
Condar greatly respects the Emperor's Hammer for it's help defending his sister from a Yuuzhan Vong attack. He has come to track down the two pilots in particular for their heroics. Impressed by the pilots skill and calm under pressure Condar wants to learn how to be Aces like them and signs up.
