BIOGRAPHY:
Steve Apollo was born on Coruscant, one of millions of others born in the city planet. His parents abandoned him, unable or unwilling to care for a child in their busy lives. He was taken in by a small criminal gang where he was taught to fight, kill, bribe, extort, and survive on the streets. For 16 years he served the gang in the lower levels of Coruscant. He respected the gang, but wanted an exit. He didn't want to live his whole live as a petty criminal. He had worked his way up into the upper echelons of the gang and finally asked the leader to let him leave. He was denied. Instead the leader ordered his guards to "Teach him a lesson". Fighting for survival, the 6"4 teenager dominated the guards and approached the leader. A choice had been presented: Spare him, or kill him. He chose mercy.
A few years later Steve had survived on the streets and now lived only one level below the surface of Coruscant. He had an apartment and survived by doing odd jobs here and there...from escorting cargo to helping around in small shops. He found love at first sight one day. Within a week he had entered a relationship with the girl. It was at this point that his mercy would come back to haunt him. The gang had been working hard to track him down among the millions of Coruscant citizens. They had finally found him. He was jumped along with the girl one night after a date. He couldn't break free from the gang members. The leader made Apollo watch as his girlfriend was brutally killed in front of him. He had failed to save her. Now with renewed anger he was able to overtake the gang, but was severely injured in the process.
He woke up a week later outside of a bar with bloody bandages on his chest, left leg, and head. He never found his rescuer. His apartment had been taken, along with his possessions due to overdue rent. He had nothing. He decided to leave Coruscant forever, stealing a ship and flying as far away as he could. He had a handful of credits, and one extra set of clothes as he planet-hopped through roughly 21 planets from Kuat to Geonosis to Bespin.
He again found work on these planets, often times illegal work. At last things began to settle down again as he moved to Bespin permanently. For years he lived there, continuing the only work he knew how to do. When Heath Valhoun led the militia, Steve joined. However he stayed on the planet when Heath entered the unknown regions. When Heath Valhoun returned, Steve was ready; He joined the Elysium Imperial fleet, using it as a base of operations for a year. When he saw the attack on The Agents of Chaos he decided to sign up for the Stormtrooper corps. Apon joining he was almost immediately taken to meet the king, having passed every test with record-breaking numbers.
He now works in a secret branch unknown by even the highest ranking officials in The Imperium. The branch is completely classified, only the King, Steve, and those in the branch know of its' existence.
This is Steve Apollo's story.
