Jaxon Calrissian Al`zandar, the only son of Corellian diplomats, got his start in life wanting for nothing. He was afforded the finest education, traveled to and from the major systems of the Galactic Core[2], and hobnobbed with Celebrities, Politicians, Activists, and Freedom Fighters alike.

Standing 6' 1" with an athletic 210 lb frame, the dark Corellian pilot is a well known businessman, trader, gambler, pirate and athlete . He has made his fare share of allies and enemies, as well as an undisclosed fortune. Suffering from an extreme case of wanderlust, as most Corellians do, Jax enjoys cruising the space-lanes living life as he pleases. At times that includes terrorizing governments and civilians alike, bandit and creature hunting, and being an all-around galactic scoundrel.

Childhood

Jax age 9,
Playing "Pirate".

The only child of Corellian diplomats Lance and Nia Al'zandar, Jax was an exceptionally bright child. He showed an uncanny ability, for a child, to be still and pay attention. This proved to be one of his biggest assets, as he got an education like very few others.

Because one or both of his parents were usually called away to negotiate deals on behalf of the Galactic Empire and it's Core affiliates, Jax was tutored while aboard a CR-90 Corvette, C-3 Passenger Liner or some other luxury ship, at times by some of the galaxy's top university professors. He also had the benefit of being able to occasionally sit in on diplomacy talks and negotiations. He got to see first hand the power of the spoken word. How saying just the right thing can cause life long peace or life ending war. Jax's parents were his heroes, until he met the pirate who kidnapped him.

At age 8, Jax and his mother were captured by the dreaded Hidden Dagger Pirates[3]. The two were held for ransom. A burden on Lance's shoulder, as it was a price he could not pay in full. Diplomacy was attempted in regaining his family, but in the end he was only able to free one hostage for the ransom that nearly bankrupted him. That hostage was his wife, Nia.

For 6 months Lance worked feverishly to attain the credits needed to get back his son. For 6 months a boy was at the mercy of villainous thugs. If not for Commander Jinn-Tu Wisslar, a high ranking member of the pirate organization, the unspeakable may have happened to young Jax. Wisslar looked after Jax, and made him feel as comfortable as possible given the situation. Within those months Jax learned to appreciate the freedom these pirates had, and how happy they seemed, despite the violence they inflict on the galaxy. Wisslar showed Jax that terror and bloodshed are powerful negotiating tactics just as the spoken word, often times with a swifter result. A special bond was formed between the two. Wisslar was Jax's personal personification of the storied swashbuckler. Jax reminded Wisslar of innocence long lost.

After 5 months and 20 days the ransom payment for Jax was made. It was agreed that Wisslar would personally return the boy to his parents. Having been responsible for Jax during his captivity, Wisslar wanted to make sure he got home safely. At the drop off, right before turning over the child, Jinn-Tu Wisslar presented Jax with a sword. In doing so, he imparted his final words to his young friend. Words that made an indelible impression on the boy: Take this sword, the Starblade. It has served Nobles and Pirates alike in it's many centuries. Now it is yours, young Al`zandar. Respect it, and it will protect you well into your old age, regardless of your path. Jax took the sword with great reverence, and watched the Pirate board his ship. He watched as the ship moved effortlessly into the atmosphere. He watched till it disappeared beyond the clouds.

Jax re-acclimated to being at home rather easily. Even as a child he was very practical, and understood what took place. But what the boy could not understand is why his parents, his heroes, abandoned him. The child could not comprehend the adult decisions that had been made. Despite this episode in young Jax's life, he wasn't affected too much. He was still a vibrant, intelligent, inqusitive child. However, two changes were distinctly noticeable. Jax no longer fully trusted his parents, though he loved them dearly. In addition, he became cruelly mischievous at times. A trait that would develop as he got older, along with his more virtuous characteristics.

Teenage Years

Jax age 19.

Jax's teen years found him growing into a fine young Corellian noble. The family's financial woes had recovered ten fold since the kidnapping incident, and they were never happier. Jax's education continued as he attended some of the finest institutions of higher learning around the Core, including the University of Alderaan, Corellia University and the University of Coruscant.

At the age of seventeen, having completed his academic career, Jax enlisted in the Imperial Navy. Every young noble of the Empire is expected to join the military. There he became acquainted with his three greatest passions: Blasters, Starships and most importantly Denyssa. As a naval recruit, Jax excelled greatly in the areas of weapons and starfighter training, unarmed combat, as well as mission planning and tactics. His assessment of opponents was astounding for a recruit. Jax was able to break down opposition with little effort and quite expeditiously.

Despite the excellence Jax displayed in his training, he was disciplined several times for substituting the standard Dress Saber for his Starblade during formal military events. Jax's penchant for individuality extended way past his choice of swords. He had a problem working with less advanced recruits, claiming they impede his advancement potential. To this effect Jax would purposely show up his contemporaries, hoping to impress upon his superiors that he is simply better than the others. This usually ended in him being reprimanded for lack of team work.

Denyssa Belos Al`zandar.

His arrogance caught more than his commanders' attention. Jax's antics got him noticed by an equally adept female recruit named Denyssa Belos. An attractive young Corellian, Denyssa comes from a military family that has served the Empire and earlier governments for many generations. However Denyssa had other aspirations. Like Jax, she wanted to explore the galaxy. A romance between the young recruits quickly developed. Their bond was instant and unbreakable, and as training partners they excelled far beyond that of other teams. But it was the private moments they shared that solidified their relationship.

Denyssa was the first person Jax actually told about his kidnapping experience. He'd spoken to others about it, as it was a curiosity of it's time, but never had he evoked the topic till her. He also shared his desire to one day sail the stars, free as his captors. Denyssa never flinched, and they discussed plans to become independent and free. In order for their plans to be successful, however, they must part. Each had some personal growth to go through. Both being extremely practical, they realized they were still young, and had a bit more maturing to do.

The plan, in part, was for Denyssa to secure a hidden deep space system, and ready a small fleet of starfighters. Jax, in turn, was to acquire practical knowledge by working in a faction. Which faction was still to be answered, but Jax knew it would have to be someplace his skills could be instantly utilized, while he learns how the galaxy really operates. After completing a tour of duty in the Imperial Navy, Jax and Denyssa made a special trip back home, to Corellia. One night, in a forest clearing outside Kor Vella[4], under the Eye Of The Pirate[5] the lovers were married. A bittersweet union, for it was on that night they set off for opposite ends of the galaxy.

The Name's Starblade

Jax in a bar, surrounded by
thugs and prostitutes.


Traveling in hyperspace, Jax considered his next move. Where can he gain the type of knowledge he was seeking? What that was, Jax had no clue, though he kept having recurring thoughts of the pirate that befriended him many years ago. Perhaps that's the direction he should follow. A brief communique with the infamous Pirate Queen, Teniel Djo, lead Jax to the realization that he wasn't yet built for piracy. He still had a sense of right and wrong... a virtuous morality. Being a skilled soldier and pilot, Jax would be an excellent addition to some government or private military. Though before any investigation into this line of work could be made, his small light freighter encountered catastrophic electrical failure. With limited time, and all of his wits, Jax managed to safely crash land near what was the city of Gok, on the planet Mereranor in the Orus sector of the Outer Rim[6]. The Delta-class Shuttle was totaled, and galactic communication arrays had not been built to sufficiently

reach that part of the galaxy. Jax was essentially marooned.

With no ship, few credits and no idea of what to do next, he walked the city until reaching a tavern. There he stayed in a drunken stupor, living mainly by the generosity (or pitty) of strangers. Other times he would steal what he needed. Distraught over loosing everything, and not knowing if he will ever see his beloved Denyssa again, drink and drugs became Jax's world. He began a descent into the seedier side of life, choosing to associate with Ryll dealers, prostitutes and other dregs of society. Bar fights and public disturbances were the norm for Jax. So much so, that he became synonymous with his treasured Starblade. It's a wonder he was never arrested. Just under a year of his life passed on this planet. Most of those memories during that time are unaccounted for by him.


Corellian Pride

Athletic Endeavors

Ever the action junkie, Jax gets his fill using more than a blaster or the infamous Starblade. Athletics help keep his mind, body and skills honed. During down times, he has been known to seek out the company of those that participate in high stakes, big action competitions. Though there have been many minor scrimmages of varying variety, Jax's most notable involvements are with the Galactic Shockball League, Universal Racing Association, The Tournament Of Derra and Krieg's Run.

Jax Starblade,
Boordii Steampunks

GALACTIC SHOCKBALL LEAGUE
Around Y.11 D.100, Jax became a free agent in the Colonial Shockball League. After careful contemplation he joined the Boordii Steampunks in the position of Guard. (TO BE CONTINUED)

UNIVERSAL RACING ASSOCIATION

TOURNAMENT OF DERRA

KRIEG'S RUN


The Man, The Myth

THE VICES
Captain Starblade has been known to enjoy a stiff drink and a good smoke. His brands of choice are Whyren's Reserve[7] and Al`zandar Family Blend cigarras. Jax even regularly patronized galactic purveyor of fine Corellian spirits, Cael Graigan, owner of the Corellian Alcoholic Enablers League (C.A.E.L.). However lack of top-shelf liquor or custom rolled cigarras cannot deter him from attaining a good buzz. Considered by those closest to him as a functioning substance abuser, Jax has been known to indulge in month long parties full of gambling, inebriates and sexual debauchery, but still manage to get all his business handled by deadline.

THE PHILANTHROPY
Despite a penchant for taking what does not belong to him, Jax Starblade makes sure to give back to the galaxy. He feels it keeps his karma balanced. Among some of his philanthropic recipients are a slew of new galactic citizens. He finds the time to set these sentients up with ships, weapons, gear, etc. all for no charge. He does this in an attempt to make up for all the new galactic citizens he robbed in his early days as a thief, before he gained a set of standards and morals by which to live. In addition, Jax has donated goods and millions of credits to various companies and gambling organizations that he fancies.
