Biography

Early Life

Jeor Knight was born without much fanfare in the city Saigetopia on Corellia. His Parents, Flirry and Ixa Knight, were owners of a large group of farms in the Corellian countryside and made a very good living. He grew up working on his family farm, largely removed from the local politics of the Corellian Capital. When Jeor was 12 years old, Corellia was hit with a major economic downturn brought on by a severe drought on the northern continent and his family lost their farms. Flirry joined up with a group of farmers who worked a large plot of land in the south while Jeor and his mother remained back home and living off of the small and infrequent payments sent to them from down south. Jeor and Ixa lived in a small one bedroom apartment in center city Saigetopia and suffered the pangs of hunger and stress along with his mother. At the age of 14, Jeor started running around with a crowd of local kids who sold whatever they could get their hands on. Jeor distinguished himself as a leader of this gang of teenagers, masterminding their schemes, deals, and machinations. They slowly gained a reputation as a smooth talking group of young entrepreneurs who purchased the apartment building their families lived in without paying a single credit of their own money. It was during this time that Jeor met the love of his life, Erabella. She lived on the floor above his and caught his eye while he tried to sell her some of his wares. She began to hang around the apartment that they used as headquarters and they began to date.

Things began to change when a local gang, The Red Falcons, began to harass the members of Jeor's group. The group found themselves under assault from all sides as members of his group were beaten up, robbed, and occasionally held for ransom. Every time this occurred, Jeor found a way to settle the score fairly but strongly. However, Jeors second in command, Jax Brant, had other ideas. He took it upon himself to start a quarrel with a member of The Red Falcons and killed the brother of the leader. He returned to Jeor in a panic with blood all over his clothes, face, and hands. Jeor got him to the starport in Tyrena. When Jax got to the assigned ship, he was attacked from behind and put into chains. Jeor had sold him to a a group of pirates because even his friends could not escape his code of conduct.

Jeor summoned the leader of The Red Falcons to visit him the next day. He refused to hand over Jax (Since he was heading towards Hutt Space in the hold of a pirate freighter.) Instead, he offered him the deal of a lifetime: Complete control of all of his holdings and assets in exchange for the cancellation of the debt of blood. The leader of the Red Falcons accepted, signed the offered contact joyfully and gave Jeor and his friends one day to clear out. They returned the next day to find the apartment building not only abandoned, but burned to the ground. The Red Falcons were furious but when they attempted to find Jeor and his friends, they found only tight lips and dead ends. The day the apartment complex burned was Jeor's 15th birthday.

Escape from Corellia

Nearly two years passed and Jeor and his friends were living on a farm in the city of Thasos on the southern continent. Jeor sent regular cash payments to his mother back home, since the occasional ones from his father had ceased a few months before Jeor fled the apartment complex(He found out later he allegedly died in an industrial accident but his remains were never identified). Jeor and his friends ran a series of collective farms that sold fruits and vegetables at local markets on the southern continents. Jeor grew his farms into a continent wide network of farms, restaurants, and markets. He was 17 years old when he and Erabella got married in a small ceremony in the city of Thasos. However, events unfolded on the southern continent that sent shockwaves through the entire Corellian system. The local governor of Corellia was murdered while visiting the city Cardoune. This brought a local splinter group to the forefront of regional politics. A group of political dissidents felt that Corellia would be better without the interference of the newly formed Galactic Empire. They rose up on the southern continent and declared their independence from Imperial control. Jeor's network of farms quickly came under the control of the militant rebels under pain of death. Jeor and Erabella found themselves living on limited means for the first time in years.

Over the next 6 months, Corellia saw much death and destruction, especially on the southern continent where Jeor and Erabella resided. Several days before his 18th birthday, he and Erabella were outside of their home tending to a small garden they had, when rebel troops came out of the trees. They held Jeor and Erabella at gun point while they took all of the food they had in their home. Then one of the soldiers turned his attention to Erabella and tried to take her into the house to have his way with her. Jeor fought off the two soldiers guarding him and shot the guard attempting to take Erabella, killing him. Jeor and Erabella fled their home that night, and moved towards the coast to attempt to flee the southern continent. The rebels caught up to them within sight of the sea. A group of about 20 rebels pinned them down in the forest, blaster bolts tore through the trees around them and branches rained down all over them while the rebels advanced. Jeor and Erabella thought they were goners when suddenly Imperial troops appeared on all sides and the rebels were all dead within seconds. The Imperial troops escorted them to their local outpost where they gave them a ride to Tyrena where Jeor was able to charter a freighter for a lift off Corellia. He was done with life on Corellia and could not wait to see where he and Erabella's future would lead them.
