whom lost his life in the battle of Bimmisaari against The Sith Empire. Fighting alongside the Jedi Master and her fellow Rangers, Veiere had ordered them clear of the oncoming battle with the Sith Lord Prazutis where the Jedi Master was ultimately slain; Gene retiring from the Antarian Rangers following that greivous incident.
Whayeson took on a temporary assignment on the world of Taanab in which she did some work with the local authorities maintaining high standard of relations between the local populace and the pre-existing mandalorian clans that had stayed in the aftermath of the conflict between the Silvers and the United Clans of Mandalore. With the Sith Empire having ravaged Mandalore, turmoil had come to the lives of those on Taanab where a number of riots had broken out in race-related aggression.
Following Taanab, Gene later decided to invest her time and dedication into the affairs of Naval Command, Gene's connections within the Silver Jedi Order and military background saw her rising through the ranks until she reached the rank of Captain. During these years, Caedyn Arenais had been moving between the Outer Rim Territories and Silver Space, and upon hearing of the Vagabond's new commission, Gene Whayeson signed on for the command position as a means of repaying Veiere's sacrifice that subsequently saved the lives of her former squadmates on Bimmisaari.
COMMANDER
LONI O'JAKRI
LONI O'JAKRI
Name: Loni O'Jakri.
Age: 47 Standard Years.
Role: Commander - Second in charge.
Description:
Loni O'Jakri was once a Jedi Knight under the New Jedi Order of the Galactic Alliance before the war against the First Order and ultimately finished off by that of the Sith Empire. During these engagements, Loni lost both of his Jedi Padawan whom were thought of much as a father would his children. Over the months that followed, the Jedi Knight struggled to contend with his anger over the loss and used his service under the Jedi to volunteer for the most volatile of missions against the Imperial Regime. In the finale days of the Galactic Alliance, communication with Loni O'Jakri was lost during an away mission, and it was believed he had been killed.
Years later, the Jedi Knight surfaced during an assignment that Caedyn Arenais had taken on for the Outer Planets Alliance during his tenure at the Jedi Enclave of Svivren, in connection with the Council of the Living Force. Most notable upon first impressions was the Zabrak's Dark side corruption for which had first led Caedyn to believe him a Sith and agent of the Empire. Upon a reluctant discussion between the two, Loni revealed himself to be in exile, yet failed to explain the complexities of his past, or his ties to the former GA.
Over the following months, the pair remained in contact and eventually Loni offered to help the young Jedi Knight in his endeavors, to serve aboard the Vagabond as an experienced Naval Commander from the former war, and gradually being assigned the rank of Commander, under that of Captain Gene Whayeson.
LIEUTENANT COMMANDER
KARA MASON
KARA MASON
Name: Kara Mason.
Age: 28 Standard Years.
Role: Senior Security Officer.
Description:
Kara Mason is the youngest of the Senior Officers aboard the Vagabond Patrol Cruiser and has served within the Silver Navy for the entirely of her career. Her being assigned to the Heavy Assault Cruiser came not as a voluntary request but as instruction by her superiors believing that the experience aboard a more mobile class of Starship would elevate her potential within the Navy, knowing that Caedyn's connections and hopes for the Vagabond were to continue to support both those in the Outer Rim Territories as well as serving primarily in Silver Space.
As an Echani Officer, Kara Mason has followed along the path of many of her fellow Echani in making the most of their athletic and physical prowess, undergoing training in many forms of physical combat, as well as acquiring advanced firearms training with the intention of serving as a security officer, being responsible for away missions to the ground of surface worlds as well as the boarding or defense of space faring vessels.
LIEUTENANT
TICIA C'HERI
TICIA C'HERI
Name: Ticia C'Heri.
Age: 35 Standard Years.
Role: Communications & Surveillance Senior Officer
Description:
While the majority of the Senior Officers are Human or Near-Human, Ticia C'Heri is of Catharian birth and has been assigned a role on the bridge not due to their expertise in naval affairs Ticia C'Heri is a long time journeyer of his species and has roamed the Galaxy in search of enlightenment and the building of connections with other worlds and inhabitants.
Unfortunately the Cathar's optimism didn't lead him to foresee the intentions of a particular Hutt, and so inadvertently found himself captured and caged, soon to be sold to the highest bidder in an underground market within Silver Space. , Gene Whayeson and her squad of Antarian Rangers however stormed the facility and intervened, the Rangers securing the Cathar from what would have resulted in a lifetime of servitude in Hutt Space, and so as a way to thank and repay Gene's kindness, Ticia offered his service in the form of a life-debt.
Thanks to many years of exploration and navigating the hyperlanes, serving aboard vessels in payment for passage from planet to planet, Ticia's experience has proven invaluable to the crew of the Vagabond and life-debt or not, has become a welcome part of the crew.
LIEUTENANT
TINE HENDERS
TINE HENDERS
Name: Tine Henders.
Age: 30 Standard Years.
Role: Engineering Senior Officer.
Description:
Tine Henders is arguably the most arrogant among the senior officers, a former Judge of the Outer Rim whose love of all things engineering caught Caedyn's attention during a run-in together on the world of Jutrand where the Jedi Knight's Corvette had been shot out of the sky by pirates and the Judge happened to be in the wrong place at the right time. Between the pair of them, the encounter turned into a three day mission in tracking down a rogue band of pirates who had been wrecking havoc upon the sector.
Between jobs and quickly running out of credits, Tine Henders agreed to help the young Jedi Knight in exchange for a roof over his head. At first this consisted of a room at the Jutrand Jedi Academy, however this quickly proved problematic for the rogue gunslinger and instead he was offered a position aboard the Vagabond Heavy Assault Cruiser.
Perhaps the greatest of his skills alongside throwing back ale after ale, is Tine's handling of blaster pistols in which he sports at the hip. The man's cockiness with these signature weapons often tends to lead him showing off, and when coupled with his audacious bar-side manner, subsequently gets him into fights where they're not wanted. It's rumored aboard the Vagabond that half of the reason the man was hired, was in order to keep him out of trouble on Jutrand.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Vagabond Heavy Patrol Cruiser was constructed within the Outer Rim Territories, commissioned Caedyn Arenais and funded through that of House Arenais, whose ties and associations are many, carrying weight and a great deal of financial equity thanks to that of his parents legacy. Making the most of these connections, Caedyn's efforts were rewarded with the discovery of a unique, yet highly skilled group of individuals whom would eventually be stationed aboard the bridge of the newest Starship serving as a beacon of justice in a turbulent Galaxy.
In the early stages of the vessels construction, Caedyn was primarily based within the Outer Rim Territories working with the Outer Planets Alliance and the Jedi of Svivren whom would later become known as part of The Jedi Coalition, those operating in service to and under the authority of the OPA. It was there in the Outer Rim, where Caedyn first met the fallen Jedi Loni O'Jakri, the mouthy Engineer and Judge, Tine Henders. Through a series of 'interesting encounters', these two individuals would become the first of the senior officers recruited for the Vagabond.
Having formerly served within the Order of the Silver Jedi and maintaining regular contact with the Order, Caedyn eventually returned to Kashyyyk at the request of the Silver Assembly in order to undertake an assignment of a different nature. It was however there on Kashyyyk whilst searching for other capable crewman that he made contact with Kara Mason, Gene Whayeson and by extension, her life-debted Catharian friend, Ticia C'Here. Despite his concerns regarding the Cathar's rather unusual circumstance, Caedyn accepted the two as part of a 'package deal' and the trio would soon complete his senior staff.
Together, these five specialists each hold their varying ideologies and come from some very different backgrounds, yet all agree that the Galaxy needs stability, justice and those who are willing to fight for it. With the exception of Tine Henders, these Officers are all believers in the value of having the Jedi present in the Galaxy and seek to support Caedyn in his endeavors as best as they can whilst also using the Vagabond's capabilities to patrol and sustain order across the charted Galaxy, to counter societies oppressors and to represent a greater future.
