Biography
Early life
Kaja born to normal Togruta family. His mother was a common Togruta and his father was an infamous hunter. His clan known him in an Old-Togruti name, which in Galactic Standard means "Amethyst Traitor". This name originated partly because of his family purple-eyed heritage, and mostly for what he did to his family later on. The clan at first respect their family greatly, which makes little Kaja greatly respect his father. Until one day, an Akul rampage near the village. As one of the hunter, Kaja's father and a group of hunters set to hunt this beast before it arrive at the village. This hunt which meant only for days, turn to months and a year passed. None of those hunters ever returned, which bring tremendous blow to the village. Mostly to newly born Kaja.
Traitor's Heir
Several years passed after previous event. Shili's authority had changed from Emperor's to the New Republic's Senate. Previous event not only leave the village a big problem, but also a mystery. Usually, a band of hunter will let one of them tell the village if they taking to an unfortunate event. But no one ever return, and the enraged family turn to be suspicious for another reason: Treason. One of the member of the hunting party was the Chief of the village and his son, without them the succession of leadership will need to be replaced from different bloodline. The village family turn to each other, and like a forest-fire it soon turn the whole village upside-down. Around these years, little Kaja already grown into a worthy hunter. Pushed to solve this mystery, he immediately set to his own hunt: To looking for the answer of what really happen. With a group of young hunter, He set out to find the Old Akul. After days of tracking, finally they met their old adversary. It is now looking so aged, yet more dangerous than before. Thinking that the answer was right in front of their eyes, the band start attacking in a rage. The old beast prove as a worthy opponent since one by one the hunter become its prey. Finally horror strike his mind when he saw one of his teammate clawed to death while order him to run. He unconsciously start to run with a scream follow his every steps. It becomes far and far as he reach out other part of the forest. He never stop running, until his steps hit a root and he stumble. Filled with despair, he succumb to his fear. Like it was fated, at that time his eye found a strange object lying on a ground near him. He immediately recognize it as a part of aged blaster, a standard issue blaster of Empire's trooper. Suddenly his fear faded, changed into curiosity and questions.
His personal hunt last for years. Mostly try to weaken his prey with tools and hit-run strategy. As the times goes, so does his youth. Now a mature hunter and man, he decide the time to face his hunt was come. With the bow he make under years of hunting, he follow each steps of his adversaries days and nights. The finale was taking hours, and the last arrow flew Kaja was already a full-fledged hunter within. Under the shadow of great trees, he cried in triumph. There, in his victory, he found a clue of answer which he search for so long. At the other side of battleground was Old Akul's nest. There, he found numerous destroyed armor suits of Emperor's Stormtrooper and a holocron in Akul dump. From the holocron, He learned that his father's band never met with the beast and attacked by groups of Scout Troopers beforehand. His father fought bravely and almost killed the entire batalyon, before a shadowy figure stopped him. From amazed and proud, his face turn to shock and questions fill his eyes. It is time to return to the village, he decided.
As he return to the village, he ignore the puzzled eyes of villagers as he leave a head of Akul at the village entrance. On the way, he met his worried mother who remain strong while her eyes are full of tears. He briefly hug and comfort her, and continue moving as his mother see a disturbing news in his eyes. The elders shocked when he enter the chamber. His mother wait behind him, while his son start to tell the story of his hunt. In the end, he give the holocron to the elders and immediately leave the room. Leaving an image of his father bow to someone and leave Shili in a starship, from the holocron on the elders hand. It was Year 11 Day 120, where Kaja leave Shili. Bore a title "Traitor's Son", and set out to find his father.
New Republic's Pilot
On the time he start travels, he try to sort out the mystery. He once originally planned to straightly join The Empire, but backed out when he found out that they did not recruit an alien (which he once think that Human and others look-alike is the Alien). Then when he transit in New Republic station around Ehosiq Sector, he found out that the Republic start a recruitment program to support their expansion to the core world. He decided to enter the program, and hope to be stationed near Galactic Empire outpost. Start out as Cadet, he finished the academy within short time and earned the rank O-1 Pilot Officer in Starfighter Command of New Republic. He mostly act as surveillance pilot at hostile sectors for his superior.
At this time, he befriended a R2 droids coded R2-S5. Also at some time of his service, he prized with a YT-1300 Truth—which named after the city Truth—where he doing a favor for Caral Monn of Armageddon Steel.
Freelancer
It is proved that a bureaucratic job is not fit for a hunter. Stressed with how complicated the system and several major problems surrounding the effectiveness of New Republic's Senate, Kaja resigned from the Starfighter Command force and instructor of New Republic Academy position. Taking his little friend R2-S5 and his prized YT-1300, he depart to numerous sectors as Freelancer. He do any jobs and contracts where he think provide clues to his father whereabouts. He also start to develop a network of client, and it spread widely to many kind such as: government, para-military, religion, trading, and more.
At this time, Kaja successfully signed several contracts which later prized him with two of three renowned ship of him: YT-2000 Outsider and CR-90 Corvette Patience. His property also increase by starting a city of his own, which he later used it as a base of an underground Togruta movement to free their homeworld.
Togruta Union
One day, when Kaja browse ads for available jobs, he stumble into Kamaniya Te's ads. Kamaniya is a female Togruta, whom have a believe that all Togruta should return and take back Shili for it is their natural homeworld. After several contacts, Kamaniya itself invite him to be actively contribute to the movement. Kaja timidly wage this invitation, for he afraid of political issue would affect his freelance works. From there, both of them start regularly contact one of another and trade their ideology. Finally Kaja grasp what Kamaniya propose: A home for all Togruta. The Union is more like a haven of needs rather than a political campaign. They mainly run at practical needs, rather than political one, and thats enough for him to join.
One Togruta after another start to join this movement, and Kaja start to befriended some like Valarauka Fealoke; Markus Nurok; and Deimos Laatl. The Union start to strategically formed their goals, and all of the members wait for the right time to start the gathering. Around this time, all of them including Kaja continue their works, not knowingly that Kamaniya Te disappear from public face. Several months later, they all return just to find out that Kamaniya been missing. Without Kamaniya, the Union become frozen ice. The communication become astray, and some members cease their support on the Union. What left only remains of idea. No movement, no goals.
Feeling that the idea was not entirely a sunken ship, Kaja start to gather what remains. He contacted remaining active members such as Varauka and formed new goal. A simple goal for the new Union: To help fellow Togrutan. Today, with only small number of Togruta left from Kamaniya's Union, the new shadowy Togruta Union start to gather what is needed. But until today, mystery still linger around Kamaniya's whereabouts and her movement continuity.
Amethyst Line
At first, Kaja establish the name only to lure his father or any information about him. But this resulted to the advertisement of his services in Galaxy's market. Knowing that he'll be at disadvantage by working alone, Kaja try to sign in some fresh face as partners. Wandering around diverse markets and browse all job advertising he found, he stumble to Kalin Vos. Mistaken for fresh graduate of some house of trade, Kaja asking Kalin to be his partner. Unfortunately, at that time Kalin already work for Cavrth Cly's transportation business, one of well-known freelancer. Disappoint yet try to be fair, both say their farewell and wish good luck for each of them. Kaja continue to find partners for his venture.
Several days after approaching Kalin Vos, Kaja surprised when Cavrth Cly contacted him. Originally he thought that the latter want to warn him about his approaching act to one of his pilot, so he hesitate at first. Surprisingly, Cavrth Cly offer partnership for him and his two pilot: Kalin Vos and Xzar Versia. Not knowing to him, after their meeting, Kalin Vos talk to Cavrth about the meeting and possibility of partnership. Cavrth Cly, who already witness Kaja's hub see this as opportunity to form a bigger force in the galaxy's market. Kaja, who waiting for this opportunity to come, do not hesitate and sealed their agreement on partnership. Therefore, rise the new Amethyst Line. They refuse to called it a company, but mere a band of freelancers without patriarch.
Weeks after this partnership sealed, Kaja named a YV-666 he acquired from a fair trade Amethyst Four to honor his partners. Unfortunately, after a long mission, Kaja return only to find that all the crew of Amethyst Line mysteriously disappear leaving only questions. Years after the event, Kaja met Xzar Versia, one of the missing pilot only to find that Cavrth and Kalin was killed by an unknown being. The two parted, while both try to uncover the mystery behind their partners death.
Nam Hassan, Blake Dice, and the "freshmen" Hyo Titan now replaced Cavrth and the old crew as Amethyst Line new pilot. At this time, the Line also started to be recognized as high-value venture as the networks of clients and influence never cease to grow.
The Hutt Cartel
While browsing for jobs in the holonet, Kaja stumble to a piece of information on of his father. He found one testimony about a sentient called "Nosfo Luka"-which an anagram of something familliar to Kaja-by an anonymous underworld enforcers. Even though the name could be used by others with many reasonings, he somewhat feel that his father related one way or another with this Nosfo Luka. Contacting several informers from his Amethyst Network, he found two affiliation about the sentient: Galactic Empire and notorious Hutt Cartel. The Empire affiliation strengthen his suspicion, but he have no link to such faction with non-prefferred alien policy. His only way is the Hutt Cartel, and he know he need to go deep on this. It was Day 181 of Year 14 when Kaja found Ferris Lerique recruiting ads for the Cartel, who in turn introduce him to Cartel's Majordomo Qaun Wain as a Kagwa Gardo. To protect his fellow freelancers associate from the nature of his new affiliation with the notorious Hutt Cartel he disband the Amethyst Line, leaving behind his reputation after many years of service and ultimately his freedom.
Personality and traits
As a born-hunter, Kaja is a master marksman and stealth. With this trait comes patience and free-nature, where this became the most trait loved by his supervisors back at the New Republic and his current clients. His great patience and composure already seen from time of his hunt for Akul to the time his task force ordered to track the new built Galactic Empire's Super Star Destroyer. This trait of him usually give more benefit when it comes to service payment, where satisfied client usually praise his ability to "not ask too much, yet splendid work." He also show little interest to any kind of cash possession, where he usually ask for possession over items as payment. Perhaps this trait could be traced back to Togruta traditional way of barter as trade system.
He, like all Togrutas, excelled at teamwork and the ability to associate with different cultures. To an extent, Togruta had an aversion to isolation and made efforts to have friends around for companionship. This led to the trusted relation between him and his first partner, R2-S5, and help him greatly to found the Amethyst Line.
He usually seen equipped with traditional Totugra Sash bound with Akul teeth. This Akul teeth is not from his manhood passage, but from the Akul his father hunted. His trademark weapon is a bowcaster.
