Biography

Early Life

Turben Dawk was born on the planet Lasan, in the heart of the Lasat city of Fahl`kunia. His early life was marked by the proud traditions of his family and the vibrant culture of his people. His father, Kael Dawk, was a respected member of the Lasat Honor Guard, who had served with distinction. His mother, Nera Dawk, was a talented cook, known for her delicious recipes and warm hospitality. From a young age, Turben was fascinated by the ships that traveled through the skies of Lasan, carrying cargo and passengers to distant worlds. He would often sneak away from his studies to watch the ships take off and land, dreaming of the day he could pilot his own vessel and explore the galaxy. As he grew older, Turben's interest in ships and travel only intensified, and he spent many hours poring over star charts and listening to tales of adventure from traveling spacers. Despite his parents' wishes for him to follow in his father's footsteps and join the Honor Guard, Turben's heart was set on exploring the galaxy and discovering new worlds.

Embarking Into The Galaxy

In year 12, Turben Dawk bid farewell to his homeworld of Lasan and embarked on a journey through the galaxy. He landed his first job as a freighter pilot for Dukha Transport, a reputable transport company. He flew ships like the Gallofree GR-75 medium transport and the BFF-1 bulk freighter, hauling goods and cargo to various corners of the galaxy.

Turben's hard work paid off, and he soon saved enough credits to purchase his own ship - a sturdy YT-2000 freighter he named Pathfinder. With his trusty vessel by his side, Turben left Dukha Transport behind and ventured into the unknown as a freelance pilot.

He took on odd jobs and explored the galaxy, meeting new faces and encountering strange worlds. For a brief period, he even worked with a Mandalorian group, learning about their culture and honing his skills.

But fate had other plans. During Turben's time away from Lasan, the hyperlane route to his homeworld mysteriously degraded, and travel to the planet became impossible. The once-reliable route was now treacherous, and ships that attempted to travel to Lasan never returned.

Despite the loss, Turben held onto hope. He always believed that Lasan would be found again, that the hyperlane would be restored, and he would reunite with his people.

The Force Revealed

As Turben navigated the galaxy, he began to realize that his exceptional reflexes and piloting skills were more than just natural talent. He often felt a strange, intuitive connection to the ships he flew, as if he could sense the mechanics and dynamics before they even happened. In intense combat situations, he could almost anticipate his opponents next moves, dodging blaster shots and striking with precision, his movements guided by instinct. During a stop at the Yavin Trading Port, he stumbled upon a group offering Force sensitivity testing. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to undergo the test. The test results confirmed his long-held intuition: Turben possessed a connection to the Force, a latent ability waiting to be explored and honed. The discovery opened up new possibilities and questions for him.
