Description
Bram Dupol is a Nautolan of average height. He is of slender build due to a lack of food in his earlier years. Bram's face is marked by a large scar that stretches from his right cheek up through his right eye and then up to his eyebrow, finishing on his right temple.
Early Life
Bram Dupol grew up on Glee Anselem in the years just before the planet was annexed by the Imperium. He was a happy child until the untimely demise of his parents to a mining accident when he was seven. For most of the rest of his childhood he was brought up by his grandfather until his death when Bram was fifteen he stayed with his uncle. His Uncle was a freighter pilot and he taught Bram a little of what he would need to fly and maintain a starship. A few short months after Bram’s eighteenth Birthday three things happened that changed his life forever. His Uncle’s ship disappeared in a hyperspace malfunction and was presumed dead. Then his uncle’s company was taken over in a hostile take over leaving Bram with little more than a million credits he had offered for the company and its small fleet of ships.
The third incident occurred six months later. Bram walking back to a friend’s house he was staying at, after attending a maintenance class he was cornered by two assailants in a tight alleyway. On stood in front of Bram and demanded his money and the other pulled a short wickedly sharp looking Vibroblade. Bram thought about making a break for it but decided that in the narrow confines of the alley giving them the money was likely a better idea and he pulled out the wad of notes from the pocket of his a thrust them all in the thugs direction.
"Is that it? Give us those tools to." They demanded. Now the tools had belonged to his Father and were the only of his possessions he still had. So he pulled a hydrospanner from the toolkit and prepared to defend himself. The seemingly unarmed Weequay thug pulled a small cudgel from the back of his belt and looked at Bram with a wicked smile on his lips. The other began to try to circle around Bram up the wall of the alley. Bram faced this other Weequay and swung out the hydrospanner towards him grazing the side of the thug’s cheek.
"That the best you can do?" The first thug shouted at Bram as he started to charge towards him swinging the cudgel as he moved. Bram moved back a little but the Weequay with the cudgel was too much for him and he was dealt a glancing blow just to the side of his head and dropped the toolbox which exploded sending the tools all over the floor. Bram staggered back a little more as the Weequay with the blade kicked the hydrospanner out of his grip and away from Bram. Bram stunned tried to back away even more but caught his foot on one of the tools slipped falling forwards towards his assailant. The Weequay thrust the blade forward as Bram began to fall forwards and he cried out in pain as the Vibroblade pierced his skin just above this right eye and travelled down his face, through is right eye and down into his cheek. Bram fell to the ground, blacking out instantly as his body went into acute shock, His thick black blood flowing out onto the alley floor.
Several days later Bram awoke in a staring through the transparisteel front of a bacta tank. He could see a few medical droids tending the systems and one looked straight at Bram realising he conscious and it hurried from the room, returning shortly thereafter with a man in doctors garb. The Doctor gave Bram quick thumbs up, checked the tanks read outs and left the room. A few hours later Bram was standing supported by a nurse dressed in a hospital gown. The Nurse led Bram to a bed in a stark white ward where she sat him down. Bram sat still groggy from his time in the Bacta tank.
After a short time the Doctor Bram had seen whilst he was in the tank came over to him. "Mr, Dupol?" The doctor asked and Bram nodded, "I have good news and bad news I am afraid. We saved your life and you will make a full recovery but we could not save your eye." Bram stared at the doctor, up until this point he had not realised he was only looking through the one eye. "Thank you," Bram stammered back to the Doctor as the news began to sink in.
"Bram, the Bacta only goes so far, there will be a fairly bad scar from the wound, but you were lucky that blade could quite easily have pierced your brain, Any how, we will give you a couple of days to heal a little more and then you will be free to leave, is there anybody we can contact for you?" Bram shook his head and his head tentacles swung in a wide arc narrowly missing the doctor. "Ok then I will check in on you in a couple of days,"
The doctor returned a few times and checked on his wound and he was also visited by the Police who informed him that they had no found the two thugs even though they had been caught on several cameras fleeing the scene of the attack. Bram had little left now, a few credits a few slightly damaged tools and the clothes he had been wearing when he was attacked. Blood stained and slightly tatty, Bram left the hospital with metal plate bonded across the wound and the halves of the scar snaking across the ragged hole where his eye had been.
Bram returned to his studies confident that the money he had left in his account (A mere 250k) would last him until he could secure a job. He browsed the situations vacant area of the holo-net and found little that suited him; He decided to try applying to some of the factions. Fortunately for Bram the first one he applied to Corellian Transport Services cam straight back to him, offering him a position, as long as he was willing to pass the Republic Academy exams, which he duly did and he got straight into the CTS once he got to Rodia. Bram also signed up to do the Republic Medical exams so he could give back to those who had saved his life.
New Republic Days
A while after Bram joined the New Republic. Also around the same time, Bram was introduced to a female Duros called Loysia Chelsar. Bram had been looking for a second co-pilot for a while as his Utai was frankly driving him up the wall, he was introduced to Loysia at a birthday party hosted for him by two of Bram's oldest friends, Gothar Elensar and Caisava Chelski. Bram and Loysia hit it off pretty much immediately and she was hired as Bram's First Mate. Eventually after starting as colleagues, Bram and Loysia became much more, First friends and later Lovers.
Bram's time at CTS was one he thought would last forever, he rose from a humble pilot to Executive Officer of the delivery Department, handling the collection and delivery of Items, People and Vehicles, it was here he met his good friend Freddie Hawkmoon and later following his death, his Brother Karl. Bram and Freddie/Karl spent more than a few weeks hunting and travelling (when Bram was not busy picking up items for them!). They managed to get into many scrapes together but ultimately had a great time forming a bond that lasted for years. Later Bram was promoted to Commanding Officer of the delivery Department(although he had pretty much been doing the job for most of the previous year!). Bram spent a good while working hard ensuring that his department never had any sort of a backlog, even if that meant doing most of the work himself. He also set a standard within his department, to show others that he was not afraid to get his hands dirty, he would take on jobs large and small often combining jobs, to kill multiple jobs at the same time. He famously(to him at least), handled a huge round-up of builders and troops for the Resistance, a job Bram handled quickly and efficiently. He also would make sure to do jobs that would not endanger his people, taking deliveries to the Hosnian system during that conflict.
Bram had always wanted 'to give back' to the NR and took a job in the NR Art department as a writer, following that he was offered a position in the Cultural Events Planning Department of the Culture office, eventually taking the job of Head of that department before eventually becoming Director of the Culture Department as a whole. Bram also joined the Academy, first as a teacher and later as Dean of Academics, responsible for the training of the other training and playing a small role in creating the Second version of the Academy's Curriculum. By far Bram's proudest achievement in the election to the Senate. Bram spent a whole year in the Senate rising to the position of Deputy Speaker, Before time and events called him elsewhere But we will come to that shortly.
Early in Year 21 Galen Darksol, the New Chief of State of the NR personally asked Bram if there were any jobs he would like to do, well after an evening of discussion they came to the conclusion that the position of Second in Command of Republic Medical would suite Bram the Best and thus Bram finally left CTS for pastures new. At the start of Year 21 following the events after Galen Darksol sold out the NR, Bram began became privately a little worn down by events. Although he still continued to work for the NR, the Senate and Academy etc, Bram could see to a degree that the writing was on the wall and he quietly began to make plans that did not include the NR. He founded Dupol Enterprises and quietly sat back gathering the items(cash and Raw Materials) to start building fighters, for himself to begin with and eventually sell.
Bram spent a month or two gathering up his ships from around the galaxy, whilst finding a new supplier for his raw materials. Whilst trying to work out his strategy, beyond helping the NR gather up those members that had been stranded after the fall to the Galactic Empire. Bram became increasingly frustrated with the whole situation, but eventually, Bram had an unexpected message from an old friend, leading to a job offer, with the Resistance.

RSI And The Resistance
Year 21 Day 58 Bram informed Orion Chran of his intention of leaving the NR or RA as it had become at that point. Bram did not make this choice easily but sometimes when a new opportunity presents itself you have grab them before they vanish. Year 21 Day 68 Bram at the behest of the Resistance formed Reclamation Services Inc. a nationally owned Corporation specialising in Recycling.
After two years of service with the New Republic, During the chaos of the betrayl of Galen Darksol Bram felt he needed to leave. His reasons were mainly his own and shared with a few select people but he was then offered a new job in the Resistance as the head of their as then unformed recycling faction.
In Year 21 around day 100 Bram took part in The Nautolan Society's mission to their homeworld of Glee Anselm. There he ran into a pair of Orphans, Andron and Taylar, whom he later adopted with his partner, Loysia Chelsar.
Resistance Career
Other TR Positions
- Director of RSI
- Baron-Administrator Cloud city
- Member of Resistance Command
- Colonel The Resistance
The Start Of A New Chapter
Bram joined The Resistance as the Director of Reclamation Services Inc the Recycling arm of the Resistance, mainly cleaning up the ex-NR systems, removing unwanted buildings and stations, along with building some new stations as required. Bram was also appointed as a member of Quartermaster Command and then later on as a member of Resistance Command.
Adventures in Recycling
Whilst at RSI Bram was involved in the recycling of many things within the Resistance's sphere of influence. From Large shipyards to small prisons and facilities, Bram turned each into piles of Raw Materials for use in the Resistance's war efforts.
A Home Amongst The Clouds
After about six months the decision was made to roll RSI into Cloud City and Bram moved with it to take up the position of Baron-Administrator of Cloud City where he remains to this day, heading up Resistance Mining efforts for use in their redevelopment of their territory.
Of Nautolan's and Monkey's
On year 22 Day 332 Bram received orders to, proceed to the newly discovered Kowak system. The Resistance had a request for assistance from the Blue Star Dominion to help secure their claim on said system. Bram immediately travelled to one 'The Clouds of Huldermunn', a Cloud City-owned colossal Class Heavy Carrier and jumped into a Squadron of A-wing fighters. He undocked them and proceeded to the requested RVP and from there to the Kowak System itself. Bram assumed the role of Reaper One, the squadron leader and began to patrol the area around the planet keeping an eye on his sensors for potential enemy vessels. Bram patrolled with the squadron for two days, plugging gaps in the sensor grid until on day 334 a Crusader Class Corvette arrived in the system. Bram waited outside the enemy's weapons range and after the BSD's hails fell on deaf ears he was ordered to fire a warning shot at the incoming ship, Bram did as ordered and opened fire with all weapons and the corvette turned tail and ran from the system. This as it turned out was the only active combat action in the short conflict in the Kowak system. Once the system had been secured by the Resistance and their allies, Bram was awarded the Kowak Medal by the Blue Star Dominion.
A Spot Of Bounty Hunting
In Year 23 Day 250 to be precise, Bram visited an Inn on the planet Issor. There he met with the leader of the local Guild of Bounty Hunters. After a quite long and drawn out discussion on the finer points of Bounty Hunting, Bram accepted a Bounty on a Baraguin called Duvnar Nekor. Bram headed back to his local Deep space meeting point and changed his ship to his Sprint-class Rescue Craft Strike Eagle One.
He gathered up his highly skilled Tusken riflemen and headed on out with plenty of required equipment. The Tracking Fob showed the target was in a North westernly direction from the Issor System. Firstly we headed to the Darie System and again the Tracking fob still showed the target was further to the North West so now we headed to the Mek va Uil system. Again at that system, the target was still to the north west and so Bram beaded to the Carida system, which as it turned out was a G.E. System and so very quickly as the target was still to the NW he headed off to the Chagri system. Unsurprisingly the tracking Fob still showed the NW and he headed up to Bright Jewel.
This time it appeared the tracking fob managed to get a solid lock on the Target as we were in the same sector at last. He was on the planet Aleen in the Aleen system. Upon arrival, Bram descended to 6,8 the terrain square nearest the terrain square the quarry was hiding in. Once there Bram crossed terrain to 6,7 and located the target who was hanging around the area doing not much thinking that standing out in the open and pretending to be a tree would prevent anybody from finding him. Bram's unit closed in until they reached their optimum range and open fire with several volleys of blaster fire until the Baraguin's three bodyguards corpses lay at his feet. The Creature pleaded, nay begged for Bram to spare his life but having spent a week in hyper chasing down his target, he was not in a forgiving mood and put a single nightstinger shot through the creature's face. All that remained for Bram to do was return to Issor and claim his bounty.
A While Later
As year 23 drew to a close Bram was involved in Operation *+*REDACTED*+* which was the Operation to locate *+*REDACTED*+* *+*REDACTED*+* Surrounding the systems in the *+*REDACTED*+* Sector. It was a long operation taking two months of hard flying and a whole lot of identifying the various *+*Redacted*+* amongst the scores of *+* REDACTED*+*. Bram had greatly enjoyed his time *+*REDACTED*:*+* and working along side many of the highly compitent and talented members of *+*REDACTED*+*. At the very start Year 24 following the end of the first part of Operation *+*REDACTED*+* Bram returned to empty the factions mines so the Raw Materials could be used for other purposes.
Another New Dawn
In Year 23, following a period is self reflection, Bram made the momentous decision to leave the comfort of his position and job with the Resistance and form his own faction The Whisperers Network. An information faction, dedicated to bringing as near to the truth as is possible to the masses. Along with this major life change Bram acquired a second asteroid city, Freedoms landing. Shortly thereafter the entire family along with the whole staff of Dupol Enterprises relocated there too. The family moved into their personal residence just adjacent to the Palace and the others took up lodgings in the Council Flat Blocks, Block 1&2 which were conveniently located nearest to the palace.
Year 25... A Year of Infamy
Year 25 could best be described as a year of Change. The Galactic Empire altered the requirements of Factions in the Galaxy. This coupled with the Crippling attack on Freedom's landing by persons unknown led a short while later, to the dissolution of the faction. Bram felt a failure because of this and the failure of anybody coming to his aid and so he with drew from the galactic scene for a while to spend time with his family who, thankfully all escaped unscathed.
A few weeks later Bram was offered a post with a group run by old friends and found a new home with Havoc Squad.
