Jayceon "Jay" Ortega was born on the world of Vandor-1 to two Cordu-Ji scouts that worked for the Ypsobay Trading Company. He worked for the Trade Federation for a period of time before becoming a professional hunter. He is best known for being the former Governor of the Siluria while working for Total Outer Rim. While Jay is a Cordu-Ji, a highly xenophobic race, he tends to hide his extra arms underneath his clothing in order to avoid prejudice from the greater galactic populace.

Early Years

Jay starting out as an explorer

Jay was born in Fort Ypso to two employees of the Ypsobay Trading Company. While they were not married, they were partners and were generally partnered for exploration assignments. For most of his childhood, his parents were absent while on missions. With no formal school at Fort Ypso, he was forced to learn under a protocol droid with the other child inhabitants of the fort. Not only was the 3PO their teacher, but also the sentients that found Vandor-1 as their jumping off point in the galaxy. Many of the children he grew up with became smugglers, arms dealers, or big game hunters. While he was still young, the Trade Federation bought out the Ypsobay Trading Company and hired the former employees. As a teenager, Jay was hired by a hunting guide to serve as his aide. For the next few years, Jay helped pack out animals and gear of wealthy tourists that would visit the world. When he became of age to get his pilot's license, Jay decided to become an explorer like his parents.

Adulthood

While in the Trade Federation, Jay worked in the Department of Logistics as an explorer. The job proved to be unrewarding and uneventful, Jay wasn't sure how his parents had kept it up for so long. He stayed in this position for a few years of his young adulthood while he looked for more work in a more active lifestyle.

Hunter

Jay soon returned home to Vandor-1 to start his own hunting guide business. Instead of restricting himself to just Vandor-1, he used Fort Ypso as a home base while he took paying customers to various locations in the Outer Rim. This gave him an edge over the competition by providing customers with a greater range of big game to hunt. In this period of time, he helped bag over 100 different species of big game animals. After a couple years of this, Jay was approached by a paying customer that requested a different kind of hunt to take place. Accompanied by Jay, this sentient wished to find a governor of his home star system to kill. At first, Jay shrugged off and ignored the man. But when protests over game hunting began to reach his corner of the Mid Rim, Jay was forced to accept the job.

The assignment proved easier than expected. Jay was not required to take the killing blow, that was reserved for the customer. The customer introduced himself as Grange LeClair a small time arms dealer on his planet. He revealed that the governor had been restricting trade in the system, and his death would prove to be helpful in opening up all trade in the system. After the governor's death, Grange was so impressed with Jay's skills as a tracker that he introduced him to shadier associates of his. It was at this time that Jay slowly began a life of crime. Over the next few years, he proved himself as a reliable tracker and information broker, keeping tabs on some of the biggest names in the galaxy. He became infamous for his connections to all kinds of beings from different jobs and occupations.

Governor

Jay as Governor of Siluria

Just past his 29th birthday, he was approached by a liaison from the mining group Total Outer Rim. They had heard of his shadier reputation but were willing to ignore, should he run for the position of Governor of the Siluria system. He was desired for his connections to many small independent groups. T.O.R. wanted to gain mining rights for the system, but the other candidate was already backed by another mining group. Jay took the nomination, and after minimal campaigning he was elected to serve a two year term. During his two years, Total Outer Rim was able to bring an unprecedented number of jobs into the system. The economy flourished to the point that the government was able to purchase a small defense fleet to help protect mining ships as they traveled to refineries. When his term was over, many attempted to convince him for reelection. But the two years as governor had taken its toll on him. He was sleep deprived and depressed from such a stressful job.
