Early Years:

I remember, when at a very young age, my parents and I sitting around the table with all these ingredients. My mother called them the family recipes. I often wondered why we never got to try them after we made them. Still other times we spent hours on the floor of our two room shanty with piles of weapons and armor all around us.

At the age of about 5 I learned what the ingredients were by sneaking some, WOW I love that stuff, I remember thinking I felt indistructable. I sure didn’t care for the hangovers though.. hehe. It was then that my parents taught me to only use them just before battle.

My parents then suggested that I learn their trades. They sat me down in the middle of the floor and gave me a cdef pistol, I thought they were going to teach me how to use it. Instead they gave me a slicing knife, a clamp and a box that said weapon upgrade. They said that this weapon works but we want it to work better. First we filed the firing pin and rifled the barrel. They told me that sometimes both did not work but 1 of them most certainly will. So we could either make the weapon shoot faster or we could shoot further.

At night I went to sleep hearing stories about our long line of ancestors who were all smugglers and that someday they hoped I would carry on for then when they had passed on. Some of those stories were so intriguing that I knew I wanted to be part of our smuggling heritage.

A Freindship Develops:

Life wasn’t all work for me either, but I got to play outside with real weapons that hat the firing pins removed. My parents said that they wanted me to get use to the feel of a real weapon. Often they would take me and Andy, a boy in our neighborhood, out to the shooting range to try out some newly sliced weapons. Andy’s parents hated it when I called him Andy. They would tell me “his name is Anderon” but everyone still called him Andy.

I remember when Andy’s parents died and wow it really caused Andy to change. I have never seen so much hate for the imperials in anyone like I did with Andy. It became an obsession to kill every imperial in the galaxy. At other times Andy would talk about becoming a combat medic and a carbineer. He wanted to help keep the rebels alive while also help kill the imps. I promised him that I would help him all I could to master his dream. So every credit I ever made I saved to help keep my promise to Andy.

I didn’t get to go on smuggling trips yet so Andy spent many hours watching me slice weapons and armor to take to our behind the lines fighting rebels. I even got Andy to help make the “recipe”. It was fun , we loved it. In time he began to develop his own brews of deadly poisons and exotic diseases. He learned methods of covert warfare and began to take his revenge on his enemy.

Training In The Field:

At 13 I was finally allowed to make a run with them and was introduced to an underground network of theivs and indipendant smugglers including Jabba Hutt. Talk about adrenaline rush, I was never so excited in my life. I learned how to crawl through mud, slice open locked doors and make some kick butt spices. I felt fear and excitement at the same time during them runs. Andy wanted to go but first we had to help him control his hate and keep it under control. My parents taught him maneuvers and warfare tactics and especially patience, which I never for a moment believed he ever got.. lol.

Alone:

At 14 my parents were on a smuggling run and when they returned they complained that they didn’t feel too well and decided to lay down and rest . My father died sometime during the night and worried my mother may die I sent for a master doctor. He told me that there was nothing that he could do because they had been diseased by something that he had no cure for. My mother died later that day, I never felt so alone. I had no idea if I was prepared to take over the family operation or not but I had the support of our friends that were so faithful to my parents. They urged me on telling me that they would treat me with the same respect that they gave my parents and if I needed help that all would be there for me.

Well, now it was up to me and my journey begins.

A Young Leader Develops:

I was almost 15 now and the leader of the biggest smuggling operation around. So big that the Empire had my picture plastered on every tree from corellia to Rori with a reward of 5 million credits to the person who would tell them where to find me. Little did they know it wasn’t credits the rebels are interested in as much as they wanted freedom from the Empire. Andy also had a price on his head by now for his deadly attacks on imperial encampments throughout the galexie.

I was making good money and decided I would now help Andy become a master combat medic and Doctor. I remember Andy felt so guilty that at first He wouldn’t let me help him but seeing no other way to accomplish what he wanted to do he said” I swear I will make this up to you someday”. I had faith in Andy and knew he would make it because the hate for Imps flowed through his veins so strong that it would be the force that would drive him.

Help From an Unexpeced Sourse:

I was 15 going on 16 when we were sneaking into an imperial base where they were holding our people as spies, slaves and as experimental guinea pigs. Our intentions were to free them but we were caught by the General's son, Alkrie. Instead of blowing the whistle, he just stood there staring at me and I was staring at him in fear waiting to die but he never made a move. I thought, okay dummy you just gonna stand here and die or are you gonna run? We never ran so fast in our lives to get out of there. We were about 500m out when we ran into colonel Alkrie. I was surprised at what he had to say. He told us that he did not believe in what the empire was doing and someday when he gets to be in charge of the empires armies he hopes thing will be different between the rebels and the imperials.

For the next 2 years colonel Alkrie helped us by telling us of secret passages into their bases and camps.We got very close, closer then any rebel should get with an imperial, I suppose but he seemed like a rebel in imperial clothes. I had found out a couple weeks earlier that I was going to have a child and wanted to wait till my 18th birthday to tell Alkrie the news and was on my way to tell him when I got the shocking news of my life. Alkrie had been killed by his own men, they had been following him for weeks and they did not want to tell his father that he was a traitor so they killed him and told his father he had been killed during battle.

A Union Formed:

Andy was there for a shoulder to cry on and told me that we will fight together and kill them all. I needed that to help me control the hate I felt at the time. So Andy and I set out on a journey together, helping each other, hoping to free the galaxies of the good for nothing, low down Imperials.

The Birth of Alcamira:

My daughter, Alcamira Alkrie was born during a beautiful moon-lit night on the 3rd day of our great harvest and I felt like it was a double celebration. Andy has been like a father to alcamira ever since the day she was born and now hoping to carry on with our family tradition of smugglers, it wasn’t until years later that I found out that Alcamira would not be interested in the smuggling operation at all. What a big disappointment . Alc. Which everyone called her was disowned and unwanted by theTwi’lek and often called a half breed by the Zabrak’s, soon developed a hate of people and a chip on her shoulder that I could not help her with. It was very hard for her to make friends but she would spend hours trying to make new and better weapons. She became a weaponsmith and after she made them I would slice them so in a way she was still part of the rebel cause. If you became of friend of hers she would die for you but the hard part was becoming a friend of hers. Perhaps in time she will learn that other peoples feelings are just as important as her own, and to get respect you have to give respect.

Plans For a New Future:

Andy and I swore that we would build a city and fill it with the greatest army of rebels that ever lived so I dropped a city hall and became mayor of our future powerful rebel city. I made Andy 2nd in command because of his hate for Imperials and wanting to build an indestructible army. I knew he would be a tough commanding officer but if we were to survive I knew in my heart he had to be tough. He wants dead Imps not dead Rebels.

Hopefully we will have the kind of Rebels in our city that want to live and kill Imperials without dying . The type of Rebel that someday the galaxy will fear. Only the best will remain in our city because I know not all will have what it takes to be a REAL FIGHTING MACHINE. But the ones that do make it will be the conquerors of tomorrow.

Now today I spend my days trying to find someone to carry on with the smuggling operation because I too have a yearning to become a powerful fighter and kick every imps butt from corellia to Rori. I think I sure would like to keep making that old family recipe though because I want a lot of that stuff around, lol. I have lost interest in slicing though and just want to find me a real good weapon to clean up the galaxy with.

We Shall Become The Force And The Force Shall Be With Us!!!
