==Early Life on Corellia==
==Life before Darkness==


Jakk Horn Emernet was born in Y -9 Day 177 on the planet of [[Corellia]], in the City of Kor Vella on planet grid 9,4 at 18:59:34.  He was born to his father [[Yaxon Ira Emernet]] and his mother [[Lisha Denya Emernet]].  As one might recognize if they are familiar with note worthy Corellians, his father and mother are respectively a decorated CorSec officer and a famous holovid director and producer.  This influenced his early life greatly.  Through travel with his mother to on site recordings Jakk had visited over three dozen planets from [[Shili]] to [[Tatooine]] by the time he was an adult, and grew to appreciate the many different cultures that he encountered.  He particularly made friends on the planet of [[Champala]] as a young boy and even to this day keeps many of those contacts close.  Once a young adult however most of his living was done on Corellia, at least for the first few years.  Like his father he joined CorSec as a Junior Officer, but unlike his father who had been part of the law and order divisions of CorSec, Jakk joined the Intelligence Division and gained quite the reputation with his peers and those above him.  Jakk learned how to handle almost any blaster, most melee weapons, and even hand to hand combat.  Skilled both in combat, and in more covert techniques such as finding hidden data to help legally stop criminal organizations.  Jakk made quite the impression on his fellow Corellians before he even became an adult.
Jakk Horn Emernet was born in Year -9 Day 177 on the planet of Corellia, in the City of Kor Vella on the planets grid square 9,4 at the galactic standard time of 18:59:34.  He was born to his Mother Lisha Denya Emernet, and his father Yaxon Ira Emerent.  His mother was a semi-famous director and producer of many holovids, mainly historically based stories and educational documentaries.  His father was a well decorated officer of CorSec's intelligence division, however Yaxon Emernet passed away tragically, while Jakk was only 8 years old, in an operation attempting to stop a group of separatist operatives CorSec had found on planet.


==The Step into Darkness==
As such much of his life he was traveling with his mother on her many holovid shoots that often were done on location.  From Shili to Tatooine Jakk visited over three dozen different locations before he reached adulthood.  His Mother was very intent on him learning to appreciate all the cultures that they were able to experience, and as such he developed an open and friendly social attitude towards others regardless of differences.  As a direct result of this he still holds many friends across the galaxy from his youth and attempts to visit them often.  As Jakk got older he even helped in the productions of his mothers, in what capacity was allowed, and learned much about the entertainment industries throughout the galaxy.


He was exactly who he was supposed to be, at least according to his parents.  However comments started to be said frequently from others.  Things like "You remind me of your Grandfather." or "Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree in your family, just like your Grandpa.".  These comments naturally sparked an interest in Jakk to discover more about his Grandfather. His parents had always refused to talk about the reason for the estrangement always insisting that it was for his own good to simply forget about his Grandfather.  Jakk had always felt that there was a strange lack of hate, but more fear, whenever he brought up the subject.  Through some digging, and help from some of his peers in CorSec Intelligence, Jakk learned that his Grandfather had once fought in the [[Clone Wars]].  He found that his Grandfather had been force sensitive and a member of the [[Jedi Order]] of that time, and that once the empire rose to power he had gone into hiding instead of turn to serve the Empire.
His mother also took the time to teach him about his family history.  He learned that he had a well known Grandfather who had fought in the Clone Wars, and though no one knew what had happened to him many believed he was still alive.  However, his Grandfather was also a known Jedi.  This made it so he was not likely to be seen in Imperial Union space, and the likely hood of him being in some version of hiding in the outer rim was a good possibility.  This was something that shaped and molded the choices and actions of Jakk in years to come.


These inquiries had not gone unnoticed by others on Corellia though, and Jakk soon found himself wanted for questioning by the local garrison of Imperial troops.  He was assured that they only wanted to talk but Jakk felt like there was something more about their request.  He decided it was time to leave Corellia, or he may never get the chance.
== Y9 - Y21: ==


Jakk took what information he had, and left Corellia on his own terms, in search of his Grandfather that by all records was still alive out there somewhere.  Jakk would end up finding a young Coruscanti woman by the name of Lara Tinmin on his travels.  She was driven and had a goal in life, to make a difference in the galaxy for people that couldn't help themselves.  Lara bought a Corona Frigate that was on the local market, and the two worked together to gather a like minded crew.  They set off in Y11 to the Outer Rim of the galaxy and started anti-slaving operations.  They would go on to be directly responsible for freeing over five thousand souls from the institution and even ran a few operations that crippled half a dozen small time slaver groups.  In the beginning of Y14 however they found themselves the victims in an ambush.  They had caught the attention of a larger slavery operation, and though they succeeded in damaging the operation, these slavers called in their allies.  Eidola.  Losing nearly half their own operation in a series of ambushes, and hit and run attacks by the pirates.  They were forced to stop their anti-slaver work once enough of their crew decided they were not willing to continue with the present danger.  Lara sold the frigate they had in order to get Eidola off their case.
At the age of 18 Jakk left home, to make his own way in the universe.  He was not content to simply stay on Corellia, his early life had taught him that there was so much more to the Universe.  He left with a CR-90 Corvette that he had saved and bought for himself, as well as hiring a small crew, and went to find his own place in the universe with his mother's blessing.


In all this time Jakk had still be trying to find his Grandfather.  This became his and Lara's main goal for the next year.  They would end up succeeding as well.  Jakk found his Grandfather on the Tamra II where he had been operating a small vehicle repair garage.  Jakk was instantly welcomed by him and the two got well aquainted.  Over the next two years his Grandfather would help Jakk to discover his sensitivity in the force.  He also helped him develop his basic skills, though his Grandfather refused to train him fully.  He insisted that a vision had shown him Jakk with another Master in the Living Force.  One who would help Jakk learn the depth of the powers it held, while also becoming a good friend.
Jakk was young and wanting to make a difference in the universe.  He found his way into a life that some called piracy, and others called him a vigilante.  He joined a group of anti-slavers and begun disrupting the supply chains of many of the slave markets in the outer rim of the galaxy.  The operation was small, his CR-90 and a few gunboats was all the group consisted of for quite some time.  However, the group found themselves in the crosshairs of one of the larger groups who profited from the slave markets.  Zann Consortium, smaller than it is today, took direct actions against the group of self labeled freedom fighters.  The result was a grave loss of many in his group.  Jakk and the survivors went into hidding, finding protection and refuge inside of the New Republic.


Early Y16 Jakk would leave Tamra II along with Lara who had tagged along the whole while, and set off to find another way in the galaxy.  Jakk would end up buying his own Corona-frigate, this one he legally commissioned and had built by the New Republic.  Records are unclear, but it may well have been one of the last frigates they produced before their fall.   
Jakk was not fully invested in the New Republic's cause, he had grown up under Imperial Rule and though he has heard of many of the Galactic Empires atrocities he had never seen any directly.  At least none that his naïve view of the galaxy had realized as such.  He worked for the New Republic as a Freelancer, mainly hauling cargo for many years, eventually buying the needed materials and datacard to build himself a Corona-class Frigate.  This along with his CR-90 would continue to serve the New Republic in an indirect fashion until the downfall of the New Republic.  During the battles that waged across New Republic space, Jakk saw many things he never thought the Galactic Empire would do.  Attacking medical frigates, attacking civilian ports, and many other actions often considered criminal even during war.  It was on day 30 of Y21 that Jakk and his vessels assisted with the evacuation of survivors from Republica when it finally fell.  For the first time Jakk took direct actions against the Galactic Empire and its allies.  Gathering fleeing soldiers, pilots, politicians, civilians, and more into his Frigate and Corvette.  All the while fighting off TIE Fighters and other Imperial forces in pursuit of those fleeing the conflict.  Jakk directly saved 2 squadrons of fighters, 5 Light Freighters including a Medical Sprint Craft, gathered 3 escape pods from surrounding vessels as they were destroyed, and all those still aboard an Ataturk class space station that had been left behind by their assigned evacuation ships.  In total Jakk saved over 200 lives that day from the Imperial Union and the relentless pursuit of its forces.


Jakk frequently stopped in to check on his Grandfather and was present in Y21 when he finally passed away.  He left Jakk his garage which Jakk has to this day, as well as the droids that helped to run the business.  Many other things, artifacts, were also left to Jakk which he keeps privately owned and safe to this day.
Jakk took to old space lanes learned during his days anti-slaving, and eventually left his Corona Frigate to be used by the CIS.  Jakk, and many of those he saved, would go into hiding for nearly a year.


==The Searching Swordsman==
==The Searching Swordsman==


Jakk spent Y16 to Y20 working as a treasure hunter of sorts.  With the appreciation he had developed as a child for other cultures he traveled the galaxy to all sorts of planets, moons, and even a few asteroid fields.  There he would find lost, forgotten, hidden, or at times just plain abandoned ruins or sites full of cultural artifacts.  He often would be hired by local governments, or corporations, to find these artifacts and return them safely to their cultural origins and/or museums.However, there were on occasions things found that Jakk refused to return.  He never kept anything out of a greed, but rather on occasion he would realize those who had hired him were actually asking him to steal things from other cultures.  On two occasions he found that the item in question was part of century or more old cultural dispute and who ever had possession of it would be able to shift political pressures on their planet or people.  Jakk ended up walking away from these moments, if he left the artifacts in their ancient tombs or they lay hidden in his private vault is a mystery that he simply allows to persist.
Jakk during this time of hiding, and deciding what to do next, would go in search of and ultimately find his Grandfather.  Who would reveal the beginnings of the ways of the Living Force to Jakk.  From there he would search out the Jedi Order and begin being taught by Altisian Jedi Master [[Vir Calder]].  He became sufficently trained to go no his journey to build his own lightsaber.  He took months to collect the needed parts, and would visit the planet of Champala to find his lightsaber's Kyber Crystal.  Jakk had spent a lot of time on Champala as a child, and he and other local children had found a series of caves that the locals all claimed to be haunted.  Jakk had always felt strange feelings from the caves, even heard voices calling to him when he was dared to go inside once by the other children.  Now, older and a bit wiser, he realized the caves were connected to the Living Force.  He encountered a group of Howlrunners when he visited the Caves this time.  They were either created by or imbued with the living force.  It was a trial, the force attempting to protect the caves from those who were not properly prepared.  Ultimatly Jakk would leave the planet, Kyber Crystal and shards in hand, and forge his personal lightsaber over the course of the next month.


On occasion Jakk was allowed to keep some relics that he found, depending on the task at hand he often would bring back any item that looked of value.  Some things had no value to the client however, and many of these unclaimed items still remain in Jakk's personal collection to this day.
He spent this month on the planet Naboo, he had been invited by an old friend to stay with them there while he finished his lightsaber.  During his stay he was recruited unexpectedly into the service of the local planetary government in an unofficial manner.  There was a local criminal who had been breaking into the Royal Palace on Theed, and though they had not damaged property, they had injured numerous guards that would attempt to stop their entry.  Why they were entering, and what they wanted, was unknown.  However it had been witnessed that this individual was force sensitive, hence the reason that the government approached Jakk.  The local government wanted this to go though less than official channels.  They did not want it to appear that they could not handle the planets security and cause undue burden to the planets controlling power.  The more Naboo could handle on its own, the better the locals would feel as well.  Over the next few weeks, working on this lightsaber during down time, Jakk finally located and ultimately captured the individual who was plaguing the Royal Palace.


During this time in his life Jakk became increasingly skilled in using a sword.  In particular he used a sword styled vibroblade that he had found in an ancient Jedi temple in the Outer Rim.  The weapon was in perfect condition function wise even to this day, though it certainly had an outward appearance that showed its years of use.  During this time Jakk started using blasters less and less and mainly used blasters only as a utility tool when something was out of reach or his sword was simply not practical to carry.  This translated well once he obtained his lightsaber.
==Ternion Corps==


==Naboo and the Handmaiden==
Jakk would leave Naboo to return to his master and ultimately receiving commission as an officer in the Ternion Corps, to which his master was the commanding officer.  He was also made a member of the Altisian Jedi Order to continue his study of the Living Force, reaching the rank of Knight before the year's end.  The two most notable events with his Ternion Corps career thus far included the commissioning of a new Clones irregular unit, [[531st Ranger Battalion]], and serving as the acting commanding officer of the 62nd Airbourne Legion between Y23 D320 and Y24 D9.  He is currently assigned to the headquarters staff of Ternion Corps.


Late in Y20 Jakk would take a break from treasure hunting.  He received a call for assistance from an old friend from CorSec who happened to be living on the planet Naboo, and working for the royal family in Theed.  Upon arrival Jakk learned that the royal family and its workers were facing some sort of repeated nuisance from a man.  This man constantly showed up to private functions, was found walking down the hallways for the royal palace, and on a handful of occasions had injured guards when they had tried to apprehend him.  All this seamed to be in connection with the Queen, and so after a few failed attempts at finding the man the royal court started reaching out to those that might help.  Though discretely was their desire.
==Personal Life==
 
Jakk has a very broad reaching personal life.  He has many friends from all walks of life, and is constantly looking to make more friends.  He keeps a circle of close friends with him on most occasions where appropriate to act both as advisors and to undertake tasks that he himself can not do.  Jakk is careful to insure that any of his friends that choose to work with or for him are treated fairly and equally when possible.
 
Jakk is described by those who meet him as thoughtful, energetic, and kind.  He is regarded as educated only slightly above the average sentient being in most cases, however he has a strong and quick memory as well as the ability to quickly put newly learned skill or information in order an into action.  This often gives him the description of "street smart over book smart".  Though his book smarts are nothing to be ashamed of either.


Jakk was able to begin his investigation and after only a weeks time had his first run in with the criminal.  Jakk had approached this man slightly foolishly, underestimating his vigor or skill.  The confrontation ended in Jakk being injured quite badly.  It ended with him having his left leg amputated from just above the knee down by his own vibroblade which the man, Corran Covdien, also kept.  A month went by as Jakk recovered, and the Queen was about to search out another investigator when Jakk was able to finally get back on the job.
Jakk is only fluent in basic, but has learned a handful of phrases in other languages.  He is exceptionally talented in martial arts both hand to hand combat and using weapons.  He prefers non projectile weapons whenever possible.  As a Jedi Knight of the Altisian Jedi Order, he is most proficient with a lightsaber.  He can be seen practicing his lightsaber technique on his down time, as he finds the fluid movements and focus bring him a sort of meditative and relaxed state.  While he was training under his Jedi Master Vir Calder he was fond of the Form VII Juyo.  Since becoming a Knight however he has broadened his practices including some direct training from other Jedi Masters, and though he now could use any of the traditional forms of lightsaber combat, he still prefers Juyo.


Corran had caused quite the trouble, but with continued confrontations Jakk had been able to recognize a pattern.  Jakk learned what the man must truly be after.  Every one of his encounters were with one particular individual present.  One of the Queen's handmaidens named Kelci Takan seamed to be his target, and after repeated interviews with the handmaiden she told of a boy from her childhood who had stalked her, but that she had not seen the boy for many years now. It was concluded, and then proven by the man's own admission, that he was not infact after the queen, but after this handmaiden in some deluded attempt at possession.  This admission came upon their first encounter since his injury a month ago.  Jakk remembered what his grandfather had taught him and was able to use the force in his confrontation to reclaim his sword and even cause injury, though slight, to Corran.
Within the powers of the force Jakk is moderately proficient in all areas of the force, however his true talent shines in areas involving using or manipulating energy waves and forms.  He as been seen on multiple occasions using the force to deflect or absorb a blaster bolt or two before drawing his lightsaber.  The extent of his abilities to manipulate energy have led others to theorize that he might even be able to stop a lightsaber blade for a short time with his hands.  When this theory has been brought to his attention he simply responds "Hah, well I have no intention of testing that one any time soon." or some variation of such.


Jakk would continue to pursue the man after this, and after another months time he was able to raid the man's house, find a secret passage that he had been using to get into the palace, and finally track him down to a small cave system in the hills of Naboo.  There they had a final confrontation, where Jakk learned finally that this man was also trained, though poorly, in the force but was using it for darkness.  Jakk had been warned about the darker sides of the Living Force by his grandfather, and in the end his training proved to be more than Corran could handle in the end.  Jakk was able to bring the man in alive, and eagerly left Naboo once the job was finished.  Though he had a new N1 starfighter and a pair of ELG-3As to show for it.
'''Notable personnel that one might often find in Jakk's company are listed below:'''


==The Living Force that Keeps==
* '''Dannia Nabin (Corellian Female)''' - A friend from his home planet, Jakk employees Nabin for her excellent management skills.  She is the Chief Operations Officer for Jakk's Non-Profit "StarSage Nature Preservation Society" and is in charge of running things on his publicly available Zoo station where SNP commonly will nurse wounded or endangered animals back to health.  Returning them to the wild is safe, or providing them a safe home on the station if they can not be returned for one reason of another.
* '''Greg Sabber (Human Male)''' - A friend of Jakk's, they met at the fall of the New Republic during the early skirmishes.  Jakk, a freelance at the time, helped Greg to escape Republica on Day 30 when it was taken by the Galactic Empire.  Greg has since helped train and lead any infantry that has worked for Jakk Emernet, now the Commanding Officer of the 531st Ranger Battalion.  Greg is one of the few surviving Clones from the First generation of Clones.  Emerging from his birthing pod only days before Order 66 was issued, he never saw action under the Galactic Republic and though he saw some use by the Empire before they cast off the clones he never quite appreciated their treatment of his brothers.  He is now working with Ternion Corps and Jakk Emerent to bring Clones back into the universe to once again make a difference.
*'''Holly Elttaes (Hapan Female)''' - Another childhood friend of Jakk's, Holly is one of the most common people to be seen at Jakk's side.  Though Holly is slightly younger as children they would play with a group of children in the wild areas around Jakk's Patents' home.  One such occasion when they were 12 years old, they were playing in a forest, near a large lake.  Holly fell into the water at one point, and was attacked by a fully grown Dianoga.  Jakk came to her rescue with only a small knife in hand.  In the end both children survived, and though both were injured Jakk's injuries were to the point he lost his left eye, unable to be saved by local doctors.  Holly's family practices religious beliefs that include the adherence to what is commonly referred to as a "Life Debt".  Though Jakk refused to accept her demands to follow him while they were children, stating that the practice was not fair to a child.  Once Holly became an adult she sought Jakk out, and insisted he accept her religious views.  Jakk, not perfectly happy about it, accepted out of respect for her beliefs.  Besides, it wouldn't hurt to have someone watching his back from time to time.  Better that it was a friend.


After Naboo, Jakk sought out further training in the Force.  His encounter had told him he could no longer go without finishing his training.  The [[Jedi Order]] welcomed him with open arms, and helped find him a Master in the Force by the name of [[Vir Calder]].  Though he had no way of confirming this Jakk came to accept that Master Calder was the teacher his grandfather had seen in his vision.  Vir has been a patient mentor for Jakk and they have continued to train together even now.
==Quick Facts about Jakk Emernet==


Jakk has also started working towards opening his own business in the galaxy currently in the form of StarSage Studio.  An art focused group looking to bring all sorts of customized works from paintings to hand crafted silk bed sheets, StarSage Studios is bringing luxury back to the galaxy.
- Jakk is currently the acting leader of the '''62nd Airborne Legion''', the special operations branch of the '''Ternion Corps'''.

- Jakk owns his own conglomerate of companies all under the StarSage brand: StarSage Studios, StarSage Nature Preservation, StarSage Creations, and StarSage Logistics.  All of these groups are quite small, but working towards their various goals with zeal regardless.
 
- Jakk has an unusually strong fear of Dianoga.  This comes from an unfortunate encounter as a young child.
 
- Jakk has an artifical left eye, due to an unfortunate encounter as a young child.  It is uncommonly well made and often goes completely unnoticed.  It allows him a few abilities normal eyes don't allow, such as better night vision and not becoming irritated by direct light or other irritants that would affect an organic eye.
 
- Jakk has a dream of running his own chain of Casinos through out the galaxy.
 
- Jakk's favorite drink is Corellian Spiced Rum, and his favorite food is deep fried Gizka.

Jakk Emernet has been many things in his life so far. Starting out as the son of two relatively well known Corellian parents. Joining CorSec as a junior officer, an anti-slaver, a detective, a traveling swordsman and student of The Living Force. Now he is a member of the Ternion Corps, and of the Altisian Jedi Order.

Life before Darkness

Jakk Horn Emernet was born in Year -9 Day 177 on the planet of Corellia, in the City of Kor Vella on the planets grid square 9,4 at the galactic standard time of 18:59:34. He was born to his Mother Lisha Denya Emernet, and his father Yaxon Ira Emerent. His mother was a semi-famous director and producer of many holovids, mainly historically based stories and educational documentaries. His father was a well decorated officer of CorSec's intelligence division, however Yaxon Emernet passed away tragically, while Jakk was only 8 years old, in an operation attempting to stop a group of separatist operatives CorSec had found on planet.

As such much of his life he was traveling with his mother on her many holovid shoots that often were done on location. From Shili to Tatooine Jakk visited over three dozen different locations before he reached adulthood. His Mother was very intent on him learning to appreciate all the cultures that they were able to experience, and as such he developed an open and friendly social attitude towards others regardless of differences. As a direct result of this he still holds many friends across the galaxy from his youth and attempts to visit them often. As Jakk got older he even helped in the productions of his mothers, in what capacity was allowed, and learned much about the entertainment industries throughout the galaxy.

His mother also took the time to teach him about his family history. He learned that he had a well known Grandfather who had fought in the Clone Wars, and though no one knew what had happened to him many believed he was still alive. However, his Grandfather was also a known Jedi. This made it so he was not likely to be seen in Imperial Union space, and the likely hood of him being in some version of hiding in the outer rim was a good possibility. This was something that shaped and molded the choices and actions of Jakk in years to come.

Y9 - Y21:

At the age of 18 Jakk left home, to make his own way in the universe. He was not content to simply stay on Corellia, his early life had taught him that there was so much more to the Universe. He left with a CR-90 Corvette that he had saved and bought for himself, as well as hiring a small crew, and went to find his own place in the universe with his mother's blessing.

Jakk was young and wanting to make a difference in the universe. He found his way into a life that some called piracy, and others called him a vigilante. He joined a group of anti-slavers and begun disrupting the supply chains of many of the slave markets in the outer rim of the galaxy. The operation was small, his CR-90 and a few gunboats was all the group consisted of for quite some time. However, the group found themselves in the crosshairs of one of the larger groups who profited from the slave markets. Zann Consortium, smaller than it is today, took direct actions against the group of self labeled freedom fighters. The result was a grave loss of many in his group. Jakk and the survivors went into hidding, finding protection and refuge inside of the New Republic.

Jakk was not fully invested in the New Republic's cause, he had grown up under Imperial Rule and though he has heard of many of the Galactic Empires atrocities he had never seen any directly. At least none that his naïve view of the galaxy had realized as such. He worked for the New Republic as a Freelancer, mainly hauling cargo for many years, eventually buying the needed materials and datacard to build himself a Corona-class Frigate. This along with his CR-90 would continue to serve the New Republic in an indirect fashion until the downfall of the New Republic. During the battles that waged across New Republic space, Jakk saw many things he never thought the Galactic Empire would do. Attacking medical frigates, attacking civilian ports, and many other actions often considered criminal even during war. It was on day 30 of Y21 that Jakk and his vessels assisted with the evacuation of survivors from Republica when it finally fell. For the first time Jakk took direct actions against the Galactic Empire and its allies. Gathering fleeing soldiers, pilots, politicians, civilians, and more into his Frigate and Corvette. All the while fighting off TIE Fighters and other Imperial forces in pursuit of those fleeing the conflict. Jakk directly saved 2 squadrons of fighters, 5 Light Freighters including a Medical Sprint Craft, gathered 3 escape pods from surrounding vessels as they were destroyed, and all those still aboard an Ataturk class space station that had been left behind by their assigned evacuation ships. In total Jakk saved over 200 lives that day from the Imperial Union and the relentless pursuit of its forces.

Jakk took to old space lanes learned during his days anti-slaving, and eventually left his Corona Frigate to be used by the CIS. Jakk, and many of those he saved, would go into hiding for nearly a year.

The Searching Swordsman

Jakk during this time of hiding, and deciding what to do next, would go in search of and ultimately find his Grandfather. Who would reveal the beginnings of the ways of the Living Force to Jakk. From there he would search out the Jedi Order and begin being taught by Altisian Jedi Master Vir Calder. He became sufficently trained to go no his journey to build his own lightsaber. He took months to collect the needed parts, and would visit the planet of Champala to find his lightsaber's Kyber Crystal. Jakk had spent a lot of time on Champala as a child, and he and other local children had found a series of caves that the locals all claimed to be haunted. Jakk had always felt strange feelings from the caves, even heard voices calling to him when he was dared to go inside once by the other children. Now, older and a bit wiser, he realized the caves were connected to the Living Force. He encountered a group of Howlrunners when he visited the Caves this time. They were either created by or imbued with the living force. It was a trial, the force attempting to protect the caves from those who were not properly prepared. Ultimatly Jakk would leave the planet, Kyber Crystal and shards in hand, and forge his personal lightsaber over the course of the next month.

He spent this month on the planet Naboo, he had been invited by an old friend to stay with them there while he finished his lightsaber. During his stay he was recruited unexpectedly into the service of the local planetary government in an unofficial manner. There was a local criminal who had been breaking into the Royal Palace on Theed, and though they had not damaged property, they had injured numerous guards that would attempt to stop their entry. Why they were entering, and what they wanted, was unknown. However it had been witnessed that this individual was force sensitive, hence the reason that the government approached Jakk. The local government wanted this to go though less than official channels. They did not want it to appear that they could not handle the planets security and cause undue burden to the planets controlling power. The more Naboo could handle on its own, the better the locals would feel as well. Over the next few weeks, working on this lightsaber during down time, Jakk finally located and ultimately captured the individual who was plaguing the Royal Palace.

Ternion Corps

Jakk would leave Naboo to return to his master and ultimately receiving commission as an officer in the Ternion Corps, to which his master was the commanding officer. He was also made a member of the Altisian Jedi Order to continue his study of the Living Force, reaching the rank of Knight before the year's end. The two most notable events with his Ternion Corps career thus far included the commissioning of a new Clones irregular unit, 531st Ranger Battalion, and serving as the acting commanding officer of the 62nd Airbourne Legion between Y23 D320 and Y24 D9. He is currently assigned to the headquarters staff of Ternion Corps.

Personal Life

Jakk has a very broad reaching personal life. He has many friends from all walks of life, and is constantly looking to make more friends. He keeps a circle of close friends with him on most occasions where appropriate to act both as advisors and to undertake tasks that he himself can not do. Jakk is careful to insure that any of his friends that choose to work with or for him are treated fairly and equally when possible.

Jakk is described by those who meet him as thoughtful, energetic, and kind. He is regarded as educated only slightly above the average sentient being in most cases, however he has a strong and quick memory as well as the ability to quickly put newly learned skill or information in order an into action. This often gives him the description of "street smart over book smart". Though his book smarts are nothing to be ashamed of either.

Jakk is only fluent in basic, but has learned a handful of phrases in other languages. He is exceptionally talented in martial arts both hand to hand combat and using weapons. He prefers non projectile weapons whenever possible. As a Jedi Knight of the Altisian Jedi Order, he is most proficient with a lightsaber. He can be seen practicing his lightsaber technique on his down time, as he finds the fluid movements and focus bring him a sort of meditative and relaxed state. While he was training under his Jedi Master Vir Calder he was fond of the Form VII Juyo. Since becoming a Knight however he has broadened his practices including some direct training from other Jedi Masters, and though he now could use any of the traditional forms of lightsaber combat, he still prefers Juyo.

Within the powers of the force Jakk is moderately proficient in all areas of the force, however his true talent shines in areas involving using or manipulating energy waves and forms. He as been seen on multiple occasions using the force to deflect or absorb a blaster bolt or two before drawing his lightsaber. The extent of his abilities to manipulate energy have led others to theorize that he might even be able to stop a lightsaber blade for a short time with his hands. When this theory has been brought to his attention he simply responds "Hah, well I have no intention of testing that one any time soon." or some variation of such.

Notable personnel that one might often find in Jakk's company are listed below:

  • Dannia Nabin (Corellian Female) - A friend from his home planet, Jakk employees Nabin for her excellent management skills. She is the Chief Operations Officer for Jakk's Non-Profit "StarSage Nature Preservation Society" and is in charge of running things on his publicly available Zoo station where SNP commonly will nurse wounded or endangered animals back to health. Returning them to the wild is safe, or providing them a safe home on the station if they can not be returned for one reason of another.
  • Greg Sabber (Human Male) - A friend of Jakk's, they met at the fall of the New Republic during the early skirmishes. Jakk, a freelance at the time, helped Greg to escape Republica on Day 30 when it was taken by the Galactic Empire. Greg has since helped train and lead any infantry that has worked for Jakk Emernet, now the Commanding Officer of the 531st Ranger Battalion. Greg is one of the few surviving Clones from the First generation of Clones. Emerging from his birthing pod only days before Order 66 was issued, he never saw action under the Galactic Republic and though he saw some use by the Empire before they cast off the clones he never quite appreciated their treatment of his brothers. He is now working with Ternion Corps and Jakk Emerent to bring Clones back into the universe to once again make a difference.
  • Holly Elttaes (Hapan Female) - Another childhood friend of Jakk's, Holly is one of the most common people to be seen at Jakk's side. Though Holly is slightly younger as children they would play with a group of children in the wild areas around Jakk's Patents' home. One such occasion when they were 12 years old, they were playing in a forest, near a large lake. Holly fell into the water at one point, and was attacked by a fully grown Dianoga. Jakk came to her rescue with only a small knife in hand. In the end both children survived, and though both were injured Jakk's injuries were to the point he lost his left eye, unable to be saved by local doctors. Holly's family practices religious beliefs that include the adherence to what is commonly referred to as a "Life Debt". Though Jakk refused to accept her demands to follow him while they were children, stating that the practice was not fair to a child. Once Holly became an adult she sought Jakk out, and insisted he accept her religious views. Jakk, not perfectly happy about it, accepted out of respect for her beliefs. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to have someone watching his back from time to time. Better that it was a friend.
