Looma Karwt was born the only child of lower middle class parents on Corellia. His formative years were spent in and around starships and scrapping with anyone remotely close to his size. His early experiences would serve him well when he left the planet to seek his fortune in the expanse of the galaxy.
Childhood
Looma was born in year -8 to working middle class parents. His father Ritchelo was a mechanic at the local starport and on occasion would fly short cargo runs to nearby starports. Looma's mother, Melchora, was a part time waitress at a local restaurant and part time hairdresser to the wives of Corellia's elite. With both parents working long hours, Looma's childhood was largely unsupervised. Like most children unsupervised, he quickly found ways to get into trouble. His favorite pastimes were fisticuffs and trading scrap metal for credits. His skirmishes as a child generally revolved around someone taunting him as a "green skin". Corellia was under the control of the Galactic Empire. Most Corellians were class A citizens, entitled to the full privileges under the Empire. However, as Mirialans, the Karwt's were class B citizens, unable to serve in the Imperial military or other similar areas. The privileged elites looked down at the Class B citizens and their children were wont to taunt children of races considered inferior. Looma was not of a disposition to take these jeers lightly and many a Class A citizen's son took a beating from the inferior Mirialan. Looma also made a habit of sticking up for others who could not defend themselves. While some of his friends, Connie Airhart, Pyrene Pellegrino, Davin Valara and Lirik Chume all could not defend themselves adequately from the taunts of the elite, Looma could and did defend them all on numerous occasions. When he was not stirring up trouble, Looma hung out with his dad at the starport, learning how to fix and build starfighters and capital ships. This knowledge would serve him well in future.
A young Looma
Looma's struggle to make something of himself was intensified when, at age twelve, his mother died. The restaurant she worked at was held up but the bandits botched the escape. In the ensuing Imperial siege of the building, civilian casualties were inevitable and Looma was unfortunate enough that his mother was one of them. Making matters even worse was the fact that his friend Lirik's father was one of the bandits. This caused a brief rift between Lirik and Looma. Looma took out his anger at his mother's untimely death on the Class A elite children around him, becoming more aggressive in his actions toward them, bordering on belligerent. To make matters worse, Looma's father, who had adored his wife, lost his will to live, and with it his job. Looma and his father moved into public housing, dependent on the elites Looma despised for basic necessities. It would not be until Looma reached his teenage years that his attitude began to change.
