== Early Life ==
== Biography ==


Nat was born on the Zabrak homeworld of Iridonia, on Year -16, Day 250 to Jaak Dues (his father) and Ma-Dran Asan Dues (his mother). He was an only child. When Nat was 6 years old, his mother was taken by Hutt slavers from the nearby world on Nal Hutta, and was sold. Nat was never able to track her down. From a young age Nat was taught by his father, a spaceship repair expert, how to fly. Nat had a natural talent for piloting, and on his 16th birthday, his father gave him a Y-Wing Longprobe as a present, though old and used, Nat loved the ship, he knew his father had spent all of his savings on it, and years later it pained him to let go of it.
=== Early life ===


When he reached the age of 18, Nat decided that he wanted to do something with his life. His father, who loved his son very much, knew this was best for him, gave him all of the credits he could afford, and told him to go explore the galaxy. He wished him luck and Nat was on his way. Nat flew his Longprobe, named "Infinite" to the Sluis sector. It was a long journey and during his time in hyperspace, Nat spent alot of time studying galactic maps using an old holocron he has bought from a merchant back on Iridonia. Being tech-savvy, Nat was able to hack into the Galactic News Service feed, and was able to listen to events that took place across the galaxy. Nat had never realized until now, how many people, planets, and groups there were. From the GNS, Nat gained an interest in the Galactic Civil War being fought between the Galatic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Nat was open minded and he considered both sides carefully. However, Nat knew in his heart that he needed to help the Alliance, and that the oppression caused by the Empire needed to stop.
Nat was born on Iridonia in the Year -16, Day 250. He was an only child. When Nat was just two months old, his mother was taken by Hutt slavers from the nearby world of Nal Hutta. Nat was never able to track her down. Nat grew up under the guidance of his father, Jaak Dues. Jaak, a spaceship repair expert, taught Nat how to fly and how to take care of himself. Nat had a natural talent for piloting, and on his sixteenth birthday, his father gave him a Y-Wing Longprobe as a gift. Though old and used, Nat loved the ship because he knew his father had spent all of his savings on it, and years later it pained Nat to let go of it.


== SoroSuub Corporation ==
When he reached the age of eighteen, Nat decided that he wanted to do something with his life. His father, who loved his son very much, knew this was best for him. So he gave him all of the credits he could afford, and told him to go explore the galaxy and bring pride to the family name. He wished his son good luck and Nat was on his way. Nat flew his Longprobe, named "Infinite" to the Sluis sector. It was a long journey and during his time in hyperspace, Nat spent alot of time studying galactic maps using an old holocron he has bought from a merchant back on Iridonia. Being tech-savvy, Nat was able to hack into the Galactic News Service feed, and was able to listen to events that took place across the galaxy. Nat had never realized until now, how many people, planets, and groups there were. From the GNS, Nat gained an interest in the Galactic Civil War being fought between the Galatic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Nat was open minded and he considered both sides carefully. However, Nat knew in his heart that he needed to help the Alliance, and that the oppression caused by the Empire needed to end.


Not wanting to jump right into the middle of a war, without having proper training and knowing little of the galaxy, Nat decided to join a company which focused on a growing economy, but also sided with the Rebels on military issues. This was the mighty Sorosuub Corporation, which through the building and development of its Sluis worlds, was able to gain a larger population than the Empire at one point. Nat joined Sorosuub Munitions, which, while specializing in weapons production, also housed the Sorosuub Conglomerate's logistics. Nat was assigned to Personnel Logistics, picking up new recruits, working under Van Harrad and Johnny Moon. While piloting his way across the galaxy to transport cadets, Nat spent alot of time on his holocommunicator, with Gavin Kaos, who was the Sorosuub Academy Director. Nat learned alot about construction, prospecting, and other useful skills from Gavin. Nat also at this time, got into the trading world when one of his mentors, Japla Rueb, gave him a Biotech stock as a gift. Nat's trading made him more well known outside of his faction and he was able to develop contacts with members of other groups.
=== SoroSuub Corporation ===


Nat graduated from the Sorosuub Academy at the top of his class, in record time. Upon graduation, Nat asked Gavin if he would be able to stay on as a mentor and instructor, as he wanted to help other, confused cadets, learn the ins-and-outs of the galaxy. By this time Nat had been promoted to the rank of pilot in Logistics. He had also become a more reputable trader, now dealing ships and real estate.

== The Birth of the New Republic ==
Nat graduated from the Sorosuub Academy at the top of his class, in record time. Upon graduation, Nat asked Gavin if he would be able to stay on as a mentor and instructor, as he wanted to help other, confused cadets, learn the ins-and-outs of the galaxy. By this time Nat had been promoted to the rank of senior pilot in Logistics. He had also become a more reputable trader, now dealing ships and real estate.


As the Year 8 began, rumors began spreading that the Rebel Alliance and Sorosuub Corporation would be merging together to form the New Republic. These rumors were soon confirmed and around the middle of Year 8, the merger officially took place. Correlian Transport Services was a transport group that was owned by the Rebel Alliance. When the merger took place, the logistics pilots that had worked in Sorosuub Munitons transferred to Corellian Transport Services. At this time, Gavin offered Nat a job as the Assistant Headmaster of the soon to be formed New Republic Academy and a job as Assistant Director of Intergalatic Military Machines, the nationalised corporation which Gavin was the leader of. Nat knew he would miss logistics having worked there for the past 6 months, however this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up and Nat resigned from Logistics, thanking Van and Johnny for their great leadership.
=== The Birth of the New Republic ===


Taking the job as Assistant Headmaster turned out to be a very good move for Nat, as he met many Alliance members through it. Nat was soon added to the Republic Leadership Council. Just after this, Gavin decided to devote his time fully to leading Intergalactic Military Machines' production efforts, and so he promoted Nat to Academy Headmaster. A while later, when the second New Republic Senate elections came about, Nat decided to run, however through lack of military and political leadership, Nat was not elected. For the past few weeks Nat had been serving as the Assistant Director of Arkanian Enterprises, the bank that his friend, Gavin owned. However, seeing that Magnus Plaga, the leader of Arkanian Enterprises had things under control and wanting to try out the military side of things, Nat joined Starfighter Command, and was made a Flight Officer in Legacy Battlegroup under the command of Alexandre Daigle.

When Adam A Flynn and Ingo R. Vailis took over the New Republic, Nat participated in the rescue operations of some of his battlegroup members. After the coup was over, Endeavour Battlegroup was lacking members and so Kit Lorcan, who would be taking over as Endeavour's Wing Commanding Officer, asked Nat to transfer. Nat accepted, and he was soon promoted to Lieutenant Commander. In the third Senate elections, Nat ran again, and this time he was elected for a one year term on the Senate. When Gavin decided to take a break from the New Republic, he put Nat in charge of leading the New Republic fighter production operation. Wanting to spend more time on his military career and as the Chief Operations Officer for the Rebel Alliance (Intergalatic Military Machines had been renamed), Nat resigned as Headmaster, after spending about 6 months on the job.

After a while Nat returned to his roots, and took a job as the Dean of General Education at the Academy. But, again, realizing he didn't have the time, Nat resigned. On Year 9, Day 170 Nat informed his commanding officer, Thrass Karr`das that he would be resigning from his Starfighter Command position and from all positions in Endeavour battlegroup, including the Strike Team Executive Officer position he had been appointed to. Shortly after this, Incom Corporation was sold and the New Republic Ministry of Shipbuilding did some major re-organization. On Day 212 of Year 9, Nat was appointed Chief Executive of Northern Shipbuilding and was made head of The Rebel Alliance.

Towards the end of his Senate term, Nat had become weary. He was tired of the political business and decided with a few months left in his term that he would not run again. When the Senate elections eventually came around, he was overjoyed, and he began cleaning out his office before the elections were even complete. On Year 10, Day 23, Nat's Senate term officially came to a close, and not a moment too soon. He said goodbye, and wished the best of luck to the politicians, and headed back to the shipyards, where he fit in much better.

In early Year 10, on Day 31, Nat was officially transferred to JUGANOTH Mining Corporation, after making a request to Chief of State Traner. Dues had decided that he had been doing ship production for long enough, and wanted a change. Zeff suggested that Nat help put JMC with their expanding northern operations. The New Republic had many major projects taking place up north, and materials would be needed now more than ever. Nat left the RA confidently, in the capable hands of his Chief Operations Officer, Jace Tracken. Upon his transfer, Chief of State Traner awarded Nat the Ingenuity Award, as well as his second Leadership Award.

Gojin Zen was appointed Minister of State on Year 10 Day 188 and two days later Nat was promoted to Minister of Culture. On Year 10 Day 358, Nat was promoted to a level 4 middleman. During his first six months as Minister of Culture, Nat saw the completion of the Belecalaryn tax planet and oversaw the initial stages of construction on Celenor. Nat personally assisted with the Felucia tax planet in addition to several shield grid projects. After six months on the job, Nat began to get weary and he felt as if he was suffering from the leadership exhaustion that had plagued so many leaders before. Having fulfilled his promise of finishing the rest of Chief of State Traner's term, Nat decided to resign and the Advisory Council selected Lance Nightsky as his replacement. Lance was officially named Minister of Culture on Year 11 Day 106, replacing Nat after 9 months.

In the months following his resignation, Nat oversaw the final stages of the Felucia tax planet build. On Year 11 Day 127, Chief of State Sunfell awarded Nat with the Rimma Star of Service for his years of dedicated service to the Republic. After spending some time collecting personal assets that he aquired over the years, Nat returned to his roots in the Arkanian Trade Syndicate, assuming the position of Director of Production in the Bpfassh system. However; even up rejoining ATS, Nat continued to serve the New Republic. On Year 11 Day 275, Nat was appointed Governor of the Bpfassh system, succeeding his friend, Gavin Kaos. On Day 276, Twiggy Samp awarded Nat with the Miner's Silver Award, for his efforts in assisting JMC's operations in the Garos system.

Year 11 Day 292, Arkanian Trade Syndicate reorganized itself as Arkanian Royal Engineers, under the direction of Gavin and Nat. Nat assumed the position of Vice President of the new corporation. When Gavin went on an extended leave of absence, Nat took over as President of ARE. Under Nat's leadership, ARE continued to grow and expand. Along with the Baobab Merchant Fleet, the Arkanian Royal Engineers purchased the Fulban system in the Outer Rim F-4, opening up an entirely new realm of possibilities for the groups. In his third Senate campaign, Nat ended up with the most votes and secured a year long Senate seat. On Day 298, Nat was announced as a Senator of the New Republic. Early in Year 12, Nat joined the ARGH Committee and shortly after, he returned to the Ministry of Civil Engineering as a consultant.

''In a massive starship factory orbiting a gas giant, a huge line of droids, all of them two stories of massive steel and gleaming technology, reach back into the dark recesses of a factory. Painted on the base of each droid is the New Republic crest, along with model number and the words “REBEL ALLIANCE” in tall, black letters. At the tip of the droids’ long arms are lasers designed to cut, warp, and mold materials weighing thousands of tons into whatever form their master desires.
[[File:ingenuity 30.png]] Ingenuity Award


On account of the massive brawn and strength of these materials, one might not believe that it is a genteel Zabrak with friendly eyes named Nat Dues who is in charge of these powerful machines. And yet, after speaking only for the briefest of moments with the alien, it is easy to see why the New Republic places such significant trust in him.
[[File:leadership 30.png]] Leadership Award


Born Iridonia, Dues learned to be a successful shipwright from his father. Dues’ father focused his attention on the young Zabrak, especially after the tragic loss of his mother to slavers from Nal Hutta.
[[File:leadership 30.png]] Leadership Award


“Whether or not he cared for her, he certainly loved me,” Nat said. It was in a Longprobe that his father built for him that Nat eventually wound up with SoroSuub, in the days before the New Republic was born. The young Zabrak probably never imagined that one day he would be elected Senator in one of the largest democracy in the Galaxy.

“We’ve refined the deatomization process in order to make construction of the hyperdrive units more efficient,” Nat says, gesturing to a large chamber where sparks and lightning could be seen erupting regularly. “That’s how we’re able to crank out the products so quickly.”
[[File:tradeindust.png]] Ministry of Trade and Industry


Nat walks with a quiet confidence in his factory, pointing out new technologies the Rebel Alliance is in the process of developing. Rows of YT-1300s can be seen far off at the end of the production line, and Nat smiles as he invites this reporter into a vehicle for a test run.

It’s about half an hour until we’re in space, but the ride is smooth. The ship handles well, and it’s clear that Nat knows how to handle a freighter.
[[File:econdev.png]] Ministry of Economic Development


He honed his flying skills as a freighter pilot in SoroSuub, delivering goods and picking up recruits. Eventually, those skills would come in handy when he joined New Republic Starfighter Command, where he would rise to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Risking life and limb for his government is hardly easy on any being, but Nat takes everything in stride.
[[File:employment.png]] Bar of Employment


Perhaps more than most, Nat exudes a sense of certainty that gives his coworkers a feeling of security. This depth of character allows Nat to work closely with many high level members of the New Republic. “I enjoy my work with the Republic because of the great community,” Nat said. “The many different departments of the Republic work well together to complete large scale projects, and it is always very satisfying to see one of these projects successful. There are many people within the government that I enjoy working with and consider friends.”
[[File:1yrserv.png]] Military Service


Senator Azarin Isard is one such friend. The two Senators often collaborate with each other in the Senate, working to pass and create various bills. Their relationship, even when the two disagree, is always positive. “If we ever do disagree it’s always a pleasure, as he’s very easy to debate and compromise with. I don’t recall him ever being hostile, and his insight is enlightening. If I ever need any sort of advice, I can always rely on him.”

After flying in a brand new YT-1300, Nat lands the ship and leads the way back into the heart of the space station. As Nat’s tour of his factory comes to end, he reflects for a moment on the things in his life that he wished he could’ve changed. After leaving Iridonia for SoroSuub, he lost contact completely with his father. Having no siblings, Nat has no blood relatives to communicate with.
=== Arkanian Order ===


“I wish I had stayed in contact with my father, and wish I had done more to find my mother,” Nat says, sitting in a large conference room at the Rebel Alliance headquarters. He pauses for a moment before continuing. “Maybe, some day, I will return to Iridonia and try to track him down and find out what happened with him.”
[[File:Rao moh s.png‎]] Arkanian Medal of Honor


With the New Republic attempting to rebuild itself, Nat may not have the opportunity to seek out his family for a long time. However, given the immense responsibility placed on the Zabrak’s shoulders, many in the New Republic agree that Nat’s continual leadership is a key to the faction’s success. Senator Isard agrees. “Nat is one of the few people I believe the New Republic needs in order to progress. Losing him would be one of the hardest blows we could receive.” ''

Biography

Early life

Nat was born on Iridonia in the Year -16, Day 250. He was an only child. When Nat was just two months old, his mother was taken by Hutt slavers from the nearby world of Nal Hutta. Nat was never able to track her down. Nat grew up under the guidance of his father, Jaak Dues. Jaak, a spaceship repair expert, taught Nat how to fly and how to take care of himself. Nat had a natural talent for piloting, and on his sixteenth birthday, his father gave him a Y-Wing Longprobe as a gift. Though old and used, Nat loved the ship because he knew his father had spent all of his savings on it, and years later it pained Nat to let go of it.

When he reached the age of eighteen, Nat decided that he wanted to do something with his life. His father, who loved his son very much, knew this was best for him. So he gave him all of the credits he could afford, and told him to go explore the galaxy and bring pride to the family name. He wished his son good luck and Nat was on his way. Nat flew his Longprobe, named "Infinite" to the Sluis sector. It was a long journey and during his time in hyperspace, Nat spent alot of time studying galactic maps using an old holocron he has bought from a merchant back on Iridonia. Being tech-savvy, Nat was able to hack into the Galactic News Service feed, and was able to listen to events that took place across the galaxy. Nat had never realized until now, how many people, planets, and groups there were. From the GNS, Nat gained an interest in the Galactic Civil War being fought between the Galatic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. Nat was open minded and he considered both sides carefully. However, Nat knew in his heart that he needed to help the Alliance, and that the oppression caused by the Empire needed to end.

SoroSuub Corporation

Not wanting to jump right into the middle of a war, without having proper training and knowing little of the galaxy, Nat decided to join a company which focused on a growing economy, but also sided with the Rebels on military issues. This was the mighty Sorosuub Corporation, which through the development of its Sluis worlds, was able to gain a larger population than the Empire at one point. Nat joined Sorosuub Munitions, which, while specializing in weapons production, also housed the Sorosuub Conglomerate's logistics department. Nat was assigned to Personnel Logistics, picking up new recruits, and working under Van Harrad and Johnny Moon. While piloting his way across the galaxy to transport cadets, Nat spent alot of time on his holocommunicator with Gavin Kaos, who was the Sorosuub Academy Director. Nat learned alot about construction, prospecting, and other useful skills from Gavin. Nat also at this time got into the trading world when one of his mentors, Japla Rueb, gave him a Biotech stock as a gift. Nat's trading made him more well known outside of his corporation and he was able to develop contacts with members of other groups.

Nat graduated from the Sorosuub Academy at the top of his class, in record time. Upon graduation, Nat asked Gavin if he would be able to stay on as a mentor and instructor, as he wanted to help other, confused cadets, learn the ins-and-outs of the galaxy. By this time Nat had been promoted to the rank of senior pilot in Logistics. He had also become a more reputable trader, now dealing ships and real estate.

The Birth of the New Republic

As Year 8 began, rumors began spreading that the Rebel Alliance and Sorosuub Corporation would be merging together to form the New Republic. These rumors were soon confirmed and around the middle of Year 8, the merger officially took place. Corellian Transport Services was a transport group that was owned by the Rebel Alliance. When the merger took place, the logistics pilots that had worked in Sorosuub Munitons transferred to Corellian Transport Services. At this time, Gavin offered Nat a job as the Assistant Headmaster of the soon to be formed New Republic Academy and a job as Assistant Director of Intergalatic Military Machines, the nationalised corporation which Gavin was the leader of. Nat knew he would miss logistics having worked there for the past six months, however this was an opportunity he couldn't pass up and Nat resigned from logistics, thanking Van and Johnny for their great mentoring.

Taking the job as Assistant Headmaster turned out to be a very good move for Nat, as he met many Alliance members through it. Nat was soon added to the Republic Leadership Council. Just after this, Gavin decided to devote his time fully to leading Intergalactic Military Machines production efforts, and so Nat was promoted to Academy Headmaster. A while later, when the second New Republic Senate elections came about, Nat decided to run, however through lack of military and political experience, Nat was not elected. For the past few weeks Nat had been serving as the Assistant Director of Arkanian Enterprises, the bank that his friend, Gavin, owned. However, seeing that Magnus Plaga, the leader of Arkanian Enterprises, had things under control and wanting to try out the military side of things, Nat joined Starfighter Command, and was made a Flight Officer in Legacy Battlegroup under the command of Alexandre Daigle.

The Shipbuilding Days

When Adam A Flynn and Ingo R. Vailis took over the New Republic, Nat participated in the rescue operations of some of his battlegroup members. After the coup was over, Endeavour Battlegroup was lacking members, so Kit Lorcan, who would be taking over as Endeavour's Wing Commanding Officer, asked Nat to transfer. Nat accepted, and he was soon promoted to Lieutenant Commander. In the third Senate elections, Nat ran again, and this time he was elected for a one year term on the Senate. When Gavin decided to take a break from the New Republic, he put Nat in charge of leading the New Republic fighter production operation. Wanting to spend more time on his military career and as the Chief Operations Officer for the Rebel Alliance (Intergalatic Military Machines had been renamed), Nat resigned as Headmaster, after spending about 6 months on the job.

After a while Nat returned to his roots, and took a job as the Dean of General Education at the Academy. But, again, realizing he didn't have the time, Nat resigned. On Year 9, Day 170 Nat informed his commanding officer, Thrass Karr`das that he would be resigning from his Starfighter Command position and from all positions in Endeavour battlegroup, including the Strike Team Executive Officer position he had been appointed to. Shortly after this, Incom Corporation was sold and the New Republic Ministry of Shipbuilding did some major re-organization. On Day 212 of Year 9, Nat was appointed Chief Executive of Northern Shipbuilding and was made head of The Rebel Alliance.

Under Nat, the Rebel Alliance relocated to the north, operating primarily from the Shili system, and nearby Republica. The Rebel Alliance quickly increased it's income and employee count. Along with his second-in-command, Jace Tracken, Nat lead the development of the planet Shili. The Rebel Alliance also began to increase northern production capacity, while increasing public sales and sharing their technology for profit. Under Nat, northern shipbuilding was reformed. It became more efficient and productive, both in the public sales area and the military hardware production area.

Towards the end of his Senate term, Nat had become weary. He was tired of the political business and decided with a few months left in his term that he would not run again. When the Senate elections eventually came around, he was overjoyed, and he began cleaning out his office before the elections were even complete. On Year 10, Day 23, Nat's Senate term officially came to a close, and not a moment too soon. He said goodbye, and wished the best of luck to the politicians, and headed back to the shipyards, where he fit in much better.

Senate and the Advisory Council

In early Year 10, on Day 31, Nat was officially transferred to JUGANOTH Mining Corporation, after making a request to Chief of State Traner. Dues had decided that he had been doing ship production for long enough, and wanted a change. Zeff suggested that Nat help put JMC with their expanding northern operations. The New Republic had many major projects taking place up north, and materials would be needed now more than ever. Nat left the RA confidently, in the capable hands of his Chief Operations Officer, Jace Tracken. Upon his transfer, Chief of State Traner awarded Nat the Ingenuity Award, as well as his second Leadership Award.

Nat's career in JMC was short-lived however. He felt a constant calling to rejoin his friends at Arkanian. After just a month or so serving JMC, Nat officially transferred to Arkanian Trade Syndicate, where he took the position of Deputy Director of Construction. He also continued to maintain a number of positions in the New Republic. Nat was appointed the New Republic's Grand Historian, charged with keeping records and maintaining the Republic's archives, by Gojin Zen. He also applied to become a governor and was approved to become Governor of the Antipose system on Year 10 Day 100. Shortly after, on Day 125, Nat was selected to become a Judge, in the Republic's newly formed Justice Department.

When the next Senate elections rolled around, Nat decided that after not serving for one session, he was prepared to run again. After preparing himself mentally, Nat entered the race, a few days after others had begun campaigning. On Year 10 Day 147, Nat was elected to his second term as a Senator. On Day 153, thanks to Nat's leadership, the New Republic officially gained political control the Antipose system.

Gojin Zen was appointed Minister of State on Year 10 Day 188 and two days later Nat was promoted to Minister of Culture. On Year 10 Day 358, Nat was promoted to a level 4 middleman. During his first six months as Minister of Culture, Nat saw the completion of the Belecalaryn tax planet and oversaw the initial stages of construction on Celenor. Nat personally assisted with the Felucia tax planet in addition to several shield grid projects. After six months on the job, Nat began to get weary and he felt as if he was suffering from the leadership exhaustion that had plagued so many leaders before. Having fulfilled his promise of finishing the rest of Chief of State Traner's term, Nat decided to resign and the Advisory Council selected Lance Nightsky as his replacement. Lance was officially named Minister of Culture on Year 11 Day 106, replacing Nat after 9 months.

Rejoining Arkanian

In the months following his resignation, Nat oversaw the final stages of the Felucia tax planet build. On Year 11 Day 127, Chief of State Sunfell awarded Nat with the Rimma Star of Service for his years of dedicated service to the Republic. After spending some time collecting personal assets that he aquired over the years, Nat returned to his roots in the Arkanian Trade Syndicate, assuming the position of Director of Production in the Bpfassh system. However; even up rejoining ATS, Nat continued to serve the New Republic. On Year 11 Day 275, Nat was appointed Governor of the Bpfassh system, succeeding his friend, Gavin Kaos. On Day 276, Twiggy Samp awarded Nat with the Miner's Silver Award, for his efforts in assisting JMC's operations in the Garos system.

Year 11 Day 292, Arkanian Trade Syndicate reorganized itself as Arkanian Royal Engineers, under the direction of Gavin and Nat. Nat assumed the position of Vice President of the new corporation. When Gavin went on an extended leave of absence, Nat took over as President of ARE. Under Nat's leadership, ARE continued to grow and expand. Along with the Baobab Merchant Fleet, the Arkanian Royal Engineers purchased the Fulban system in the Outer Rim F-4, opening up an entirely new realm of possibilities for the groups. In his third Senate campaign, Nat ended up with the most votes and secured a year long Senate seat. On Day 298, Nat was announced as a Senator of the New Republic. Early in Year 12, Nat joined the ARGH Committee and shortly after, he returned to the Ministry of Civil Engineering as a consultant. On Day 124, Nat resigned his Senate seat stating personal reasons.
