IN PROGRESS

Jarneskeg Yrfeloran [pronounced: 'Yarn-shayg' 'Ear-fell-oh-rin'](b. Year -6 to Present) was a human born on Cona. He was both a skilled trader and smuggler.

As a pilot he specialized in difficult routes, as well as infiltration and exfiltration past shields and other security measures.

His mother died in childbirth and Jarneskeg learned trading and piloting from his father, Malcolm Skeg, and from his adopted Arcona family.

He left Cona at the age of seventeen Standard Years after his father and all the members of his adopted family were either killed or captured in a slave raid at Resurrection Bay.

Jarneskeg was also a founding member of The Cona Foundation, an Arcona organization dedicated to bringing slavers to justice. He funded this enterprise using, according to himself, half of a large inheritance.

Jarneskeg was suspected by the Cona central government (aka Grand Nest) of being an affiliate member of the quasi-criminal Arcona organization known only as "The Family." He was, however, never directly charged with, or suspected of, any specific crimes.

Early Life

Jarneskeg Yrfeloran was born with the name Jarne Skeg, son of the Corellian trader, Malcolm Skeg, on Cona. He never knew his mother, nor was he even sure of her race. Malcolm, Jarne's father, affirmed she was human, but Jarneskeg remembered a conversation between his father and adopted uncle, overhead when he was very young, in which they indicated she was of another, unspecified, race.

His earliest memory was of sitting on the Deal of the Day table outside his father's shop. More a jumble of images than a single memory...glimpses of alien faces, mostly Arcona and snatches of conversation in more than one language. Barter, laughter, a lewd remark. Malcolm Skeg was a born trader. Born on Corellia, he took to the space lanes young. Apprentice to Jarne's grandfather, he learned to ship, and sell, how to tell tales both short and tall. Malcolm was knowledgeable on a grand range of topics that spanned the known galaxy, it's sentients-'folks' his father called them all- it's politics and it's history. Mainly though, he knew the galaxy's products, it's products and it's needs. Jarne's father loved Cona, though it was a very harsh environment for humans. He also loved the Arcona. He had first arrived there with a tanker filled with fresh water. Water, fresh water, is a desirable commodity on Cona, so it was an ideal introduction to trade on the planet.

Malcolm quickly fell in love with the Arcona dedication to the collective, and their tribal sense of family he most respected. Being born to a space roving trader, he appreciated what he had never had himself, a home, and family roots. Malcolm cut back on his space travel when Jarne was born because he wanted his son to have a home.

Jarneskeg enjoyed a childhood with his father and a close knit, adoptive, Arcona family. His father was well liked by most Arcona, and formed family like bonds with many. He had a lot in common with them. Malcolm was fearless, good in a fight, loyal to a fault, and a great pilot. These are all traits highly valued by the 'folks' of Cona. These are also traits that Malcolm Skeg and his extended Arcona family worked hard to instill in Jarne Skeg. They flew together, explored Cona together. They traded with, served, worked, loved and fought for the Arcona. They were always together. Jarne told friends that he could not imagine a better childhood, though he wished it had included his birth mother.

Resurrection Bay

Resurrection was a small village between the edge of a vast jungle and Cona's South Central Sea. It was very difficult to reach. Own had to hack their way through vicious jungle undergrowth, evading uncounted deadly creatures and plants. According to Jarneskeg, it was a thoroughly exhausting experience.

At the end of the trek, however, the way opens onto a gigantic clearing and the an ocean view of that sentients on other worlds pay a large sum for. The sand was white with silver crystal flakes and blue water as far as one could see in two directions. To the west Cona's most well known volcanic island with light ammonia gasses rolling of it's shores.

Malcom, Jarne's father said that the sight of it brings you back to life after the exhausting journey, so they had created a second nest village there and called it Resurrection Bay.

Attack by Slavers and Escape from Cona

Year 10, Age 17 Standard Years

There had been a long break in the recent rains. The Arcona called it rain, but it was not water. It was a soup strongly comprised of ammonia, and most off worlders require special protective gear to survive it. During this brief break in the weather, Jarne's father and his Arcona partner, Rela 'Papa' Argrilizza, had dragged their families out to Resurrection to enjoy the tranquility.

The cook fires had burned low, and many had gone to sleep, bellies full of gizsteak, fresh fruit, and rainforest greens. The adults and older children, especially the Arconan females, sat taking about the lucrative Homecoming Tribal Market that had recently concluded and were making plans for upcoming trip to Tylcarros Market, where profits were sure to triple.

The slavers came from the direction of the island. Jarne later guessed they had landed a large slave hauler on it's far side and then launched the quiet wave skimmers. He recognized one of them as the human male that had bought the wide beam stunner from his father at the market. His father had not expected to sell it until Tylcarros Market and was thrilled with the price he had gotten. Malcolm had talked the man up a long time- politics, history, places he'd been, 'folks' he'd met...even describing the brief vacation they were planning to take at Resurrection Bay.

It was over fast. There was no time to react. Malcolm and Rela tried to protect their people to no avail. Jarne heard his father tell him to run, right before the vibro-axe cut him from crown to crotch. At seventeen SYs old, Jarne was an orphan. He ran, taking the route his father had taught him. Sounds of fighting, screaming, and stunners behind him, he followed the fresh 'stream' (a trickle, rare on Cona) point four clicks to the small cave tunnel. He crawled through the mud, grabbed the go-bag they had stashed there and kept crawling through until the tunnel widened and he could stand. Running until he saw the BARC Speeder, the mouth of the cave, and the curtain of the foliage hiding the entrance from outside eyes. He jumped on the speeder, and blasted through the vines and leaves.

The plan was to go the landing pad at Marketown south of the jungle, and take his father's Brayl Class Freighter. He could then fly back to Resurrection and pickup anyone lucky enough to escape the slavers, but when he got there, the town was also overrun. Unable to reach the ship, or any ship, he turned the speeder towards Tylcarros City.

Reaching the city with the clothes on his back, the stores and credits stashed in his go-bag, and the skills passed to him from loyal Arcona friends and a loving father, Jarne sold his speeder bike for a fraction of its worth, made his way to the spaceport and booked passage to Boordii.

Outland Mining

Reaching Boordii, a planet he had heard about on Cona from a freighter pilot employed by Outland Mining Corporation, he got a job with Outland himself, under the name Jarneskeg Yrfeloran. The last name came from and ancient book that claimed it meant 'bereft of inheritance' in a near lost language.

The job, however, was not much of a fit. The company was great but Jarne was not a miner at heart, but a trader. He took his earnings, and bought a small freighter.

Undisclosed Associations

After several months of freelance work, he joined up with an un-incorporated organization of freelancers, and formed a partnership with its leader. He was never willing, however, to share the name of his partner or any other members of the organization with any of his future friends or associates.

Jarneskeg referred to these friends only as " his first loyalty," stating he "would give his life to protect them," and that "there [was] no rational reason for any other associates or future affiliates to feel threatened by [his] lifelong devotion to these friends." He further stated "I only want to help them find a home of their own, which is something all sentients deserve."

His work with this group included, by his own admission, scouting, transportation, and trading.

"The Cona Foundation"

In Year 13, Jarneskeg Yrfeloran returned to Cona and assisted in founding The Cona Foundation, normally referred to as just "The Foundation"

This organization was created with the intention of gathering intelligence about, and bringing to justice, the slavers that attacked Cona in Year 10.

Resurrection and Marketown were not the only areas of Cona raided by slavers during that period. Over two dozen villages and nests fell victim to raids. By Year 13 there was a clamor from Arcona and other sentients for justice, which the Cona Grand Nest had not been able to provide.

The Foundation, made up of sentients from several races in addition to Arcona sprung into being almost overnight. Including soldiers, smugglers, traders, business owners, criminals, spies, electronic experts, and even pirates, this organization has focused a large number resources on finding the perpetrators and bringing them to justice.

It was during the creation of The Foundation that rumours regarding the quasi-criminal Arcona organization known only as "The Family" began to surface. These rumours, mainly arising in Central Cona, indicated "The Family" were instrumental in forming The Foundation but have so far been unsubstantiated.

The Foundation scored its first major victory in Year 16 when a group from The Black Light Pirates, led by Chokk Ovin Jix, captured a Captain Grosiet D'Baucher on the planet of V'jun. Jix and Yrfeloran, along with Samantha Braxton and Sy'ko S'cull, tracked the slaver through an operation he was leading in the planet's northern wastes. D'Baucher was second in command of the group of independent slavers that hit Cona. The Black Light Pirates captured him before he could complete the V'jun operation.

D'Baucher was taken back to Cona where he was handed over to The Foundation. Captain D'Baucher has not been seen since.

UberLyft Trans & Trade

Years 13-Present

"UberLyft Trans & Trade" was the name of Jarneskeg Yrfeloran's private Transportation and Trading firm. The business was successful, if small in scale, and consisted of assets made up mainly of ships, droids, and a space station. UberLyft Trans & Trade was managed and operated whenever Jarneskeg was not required by his employer or other obligations.

Moonlight Transit and Company

Year 16

Moonlight Transit and Company (MLT) was the first fully incorporated company that Jarneskeg worked for following his time with Outland Mining Corporation. Lead by Grand Admiral Acelin Dominia, MLT was where Yrfeloran learned his infil/exfil piloting skills while engaging in several dangerous missions. The Company specialised in both above board transportation contracts and smuggling when necessary. It operated under the belief that the terms legal and illegal only depended on where you were or what government you sought permission from. Regardless of what it was called, sentients all had needs that must be met and MLT sought to meet those needs. They also occasionally engaged in the rescue of political prisoners. While they accepted payment for their activities, money was not the primary motive in their operations. MLT existed less than a year before it became The Black Light Pirates under new leadership.

The Black Light Pirates

Years 16-Present.

Jarneskeg Yrfeloran stayed with MLT through the leadership change that led to a new organization called The Black Light Pirates.
